I hope you're kidding, because otherwise
you are completely clueless.

SoulOnIce

And I reaaaallly like "Revelations" but I have a
sentimental spot for Calvin Keyes "Shawn-Neeq" just
because it was the first one I ever found and bought.

obviously kidding

i spelled it "razizm"

I hate black jazz....I even think the Dave Brubeck quartet sucked because their bassplayer was black.

parsec

The Raise Up

Walter Bishop Jr - Coral Keys, in particular Our November.

I think people are getting "Black Jazz" the label & "Black Jazz" as a genre confused.

tripledouble

cool site.

favorites: revelation, 1st awakening, adams apple
bassline: the one off talk to my lady
cover: the one with all the
(how come roland haynes got to have a drawing??)
favorite musical cover: summertime/walter bishop jr.

i find lot of black jazz kind of snoozy. but hten again, im no musician and just want to hear music with the rhythym section up front.

the song "revelation" is amazing though
he covers are works of art.

how is "plenty good eaton"? heard it once, longago, and didnt really like it. did i miss something?

rape_donkeys

nope

holmes

BJ13??

Swayze

oh dear lord sir. Thank you so fucking much.

froz1

BJ13??

haha but seriously, ive always wondered what was slated for BJ13?? or did they just skip unlucky 13?

not on BJ, but damn right, that version of Kush is great. Just listened to that on Saturday, in fact.




I also like that bass line off the Gene Russell that tripledouble mentioned.

Co-sign. Most of their recordings were in the spiritual Jazz tradition, not a style that really catches my attention.

That being said I have all the BJ releases, plus a couple of the Ovation releases, which was the company that eventually took them over.

I'm partial to the Henry Franklin albums.

i like Doug Carn's "revelation" aswell as the rest of you. plus Kellee Patterson's - "maiden Voyage" LP. I've been enjoying Calvin Key's - "criss cross" on Ovation alot recently aswell...

cpeetz

Both the Awakening lps are stellar.
They get my vote.

inVrs

another vote for the awakening. "mirage" was one of the first jazz lp i picked up, so it might be a litte nostalgic love. on the other hand, it`s just SERIOUS business.
but it`s hard to pick just one. there`s not a single weak release on the label.
