KTUH The Cookbook: Recipes of Sound 10/25/11 - Frances Burr / The Leaders / Orchestre Black Dragon de Porto - Novo Dahomey (LISTEN)


France Burr - "I Say No, No More" / I Wont Hurt You Anymore 45rpm ( Jukem / Jukebox Jam / Jazzman) 50's / 2011

- Raw rhythm & blues in the Juke Box Jam series from Jazzman! "I Say No, No More" starts off with a sinister little riff on the Dragnet theme on piano, leading into some ratatat drums – a spare beginning to a walloping little number that's both sweetened up and somehow made even fiercer by singer Frances Burr! Frances is sing here about shooting her man down, and such a vicious fate never sound prettier! Drums, piano and sax drive the background. "I Won't Hurt You Anymore" is a slower number and a actually a sweeter showcase for a more tender side of Frances's voice. - Dusty Groove

The Leaders - Rat Race (Instrumental) 45rpm (Superstar) 70's

- The Leaders was a veritable supergroup of leftward-leaning, mid-'80s jazz stars. Its front line was comprised of three of the era's important personalities -- trumpeter Lester Bowie, from the decade's most critically acclaimed band, the Art Ensemble of Chicago; alto saxophonist Arthur Blythe, whose Columbia albums of the time almost (but not quite) brought free jazz a measure of popular acceptance; and tenor saxophonist Chico Freeman, who made a series of records that melded the best of mainstream jazz with the passion and originality of the avant-garde. The horns combined with pianist Kirk Lightsey, bassist Cecil McBee, and drummer Famoudou Don Moye to make a pair of generally fine, if unspectacular, records. Like most (if not all) supergroups, the Leaders existed primarily as a novelty. It seems the band was designed more to attract attention than to exist as an evolving creative entity. The rhythm section also recorded independently for Sunnyside as the Leaders Trio. ~ Chris Kelsey, Rovi
