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

KTUH The Cookbook: Recipes of Sound 9/13/11 - El Rego / Dee Edwards / Teddy "Mr. Bear" Mcrae (LISTEN)

EL Rego Self Title LP (Daptone Records) 70's / 2011

- Monumental Afro Soul from El Rego Et Ses Commandos – El Rego's best recordings from the late 60s to early 70s – a beautifully done compilation put together by Daptone and Frank Gossner, the deep digging West African music expert behind Voodoo Funk! Theophile Do-Rego is a legend in his native Benin, essentially credited as the godfather of Benin funk – but to date, he hasn't been celebrated around the world nearly as famously as the superstars of African music hailing from Nigeria and Ghana. That's something that can change really quickly if enough people pick up this truly great compilation of pioneering recordings. Singer El Rego and his excellent, diversely capable band – sax and flute by Baboni Oudou, sax by Michel Diogo, guitar by Oscar De Souza, trumpet by Emmanuel Ganssounou, guitar by Roger Coffi, tumba by Marcelin Kpohonon, additional vocals by Christian Agueh, and bass by band leader Paul Hounnou – take a tighter approach to funky soul. Just a couple tracks on this set roll past the 4 minute mark – which gives it a tighter soul sound, along with some Benin blues and some riveting JB-indebted vocal affections. We owe Voodoo Funk and Daptone big for putting this together! Includes "Feeling You Got", "Zon Dede", "E Nan Mian Duku", "Dkobime", "Dis-Moi Oui", "Djobime", "Hessa" (the centerpiece of the album, 3 minutes of Afro Soul perfection. . .the whole set is great, but this track is unforgettable), "Kpon Fi La", "Do Do Baya", "Vive Le Renouveau", "Achuta", "Cholera" and "Ke Amon-Gbetchea". (Vinyl version includes code for album download plus a bonus 45 with 2 extra tracks: "E Ma Non Tin Me" and "Se Na Min" - Dusty Groove

KTUH The Cookbook: Recipes of Sound 9/6/11 - Le Rail Band / Little Ann/ Renaldo Domino (LISTEN)

Le Rail Band - Buffet Hotel De La Gare LP (Superfly Records) 2011

- The great and rare Buffet Hotel De La Gare from the Rail Band – amazing Mali music from a most pivotal and groundbreaking time in the group's early history – and some its best! At this point, the group was essentially the house band at the Buffet Hotel De La Gare – blending traditional Mandingo melodies and instrumentation with boundary free jazz and funk. Truly amazing work! Titles include "Jurukan", "Marabayasa", "Baja Male", "Sunan", "Duga", "Tidiani Kone", "Nantan" and "Moko Jolo" - Dusty Groove

1st hour: Afro Funk Soul Ethio Malian Ghanian Grooves

Little Ann - Deep Shadows LP (Timmion) 60's /2011

- Brilliant soul from the Detroit underground of the late 60s – a full set of work by vocalist Little Ann, issued here for the first time ever! You might recognize Ann's name from her appearance on a few of the Ace/Kent Records issues of material by Detroit producer Dave Hamilton over the years – and the work here all comes from those classic collaborations with Hamilton – trapped on tape for many years, always contemplated as a possible Little Ann album – but only issued in full by the funky folks at Timmion Records! The groove here is as offbeat as some of Dave's other great work – not nearly as tight, or uptight, as Motown music – and instead, done with a sly undercurrent of darkness on most numbers, even the mellower ones – almost that earliest mix of Detroit styles that you get on pre-fame singles from Westbound Records artists. Ann's vocals are nice and lean, and slide right into the mix with ease – heartfelt enough to grab us right away, yet without any obvious cliches as well. Titles include "What Should I Do", "Deep Shadows", "Possession", "Who Are You Trying To Fool", "Sweep It Out In The Shed", "The Smile On Your Face", and "I Got To Have You" - Dusty Groove

2nd hour: Deep Soul Extravaganza !

Renaldo Domino - I'll Get You Back / Two Years, Four Days (Sincere/Numero) 70's /2011

- Wonderful sweet soul from the amazing Renaldo Domino – an artist who always sounds great to our ears! Both of these tracks are previously unreleased – for some reason that still remains a mystery, given the strength of the work – and they really continue the genius that Domino laid out during his work for Twinight. "I'll Get You Back" is a slow-stepping number with some really wicked guitar alongside the vocals – and "Two Years" is a bit more upbeat, with a groove that's almost shagging, but a bit more Northern. - Dusty Groove
