Byrdie Green – I Got It Bad | Prestige PRST 7509

Prestige records 1967 ‎– PRST 7509

notes:

Byrdie Green’s I Got It Bad (And That Ain’t Good) is a 
soulful 1967 Prestige Records vocal album that brings 
together Green’s powerful blues-inflected voice 
with a superb jazz backing group led 
by organist Johnny “Hammond” Smith.

Recorded at Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, 
New Jersey, on April 20, 1967, the album features 
Houston Person on tenor saxophone, Thornel Schwartz
 on guitar, Jimmy Lewis on Fender bass, and 
John Harris on drums. Ralph Jones is credited as arranger.

Released as Prestige PRST 7509, the LP contains ten tracks 
ranging from blues and soul material to sophisticated pop 
standards, including “See See Rider,” “I Got It Bad (And That Ain’t Good),” 
“Cry Me a River,” “This Bitter Earth,” and “People.”

Green’s deep, expressive contralto places the album at the 
crossroads of jazz, blues and soul, making I Got It Bad an 
especially interesting record for collectors of rare vocal jazz, 
soul jazz and vintage Prestige vinyl.

Harold Johnson Sextet – House On Elm Street 1967

Harold Johnson Sextet – House On Elm Street (1967 Soul Jazz Album Review & Tracklist)

H.M.E. records 1967 – HME 5-101-5-67

notes:

If you’re digging deep into rare groove and vintage jazz,

 House On Elm Street by the Harold Johnson Sextet is the 

kind of album that rewards repeated listening. Originally 

recorded in 1967 and later released on the Revue label, 

this overlooked LP blends soul jazz, Latin rhythms, and 

cinematic lounge textures into a surprisingly cohesive experience

Led by pianist Harold Johnson, a young prodigy from Los Angeles,

 the group formed during his teenage years and quickly recorded 

their debut album. The project was initially released on an

 independent label before being picked up and distributed 

more widely by MCA’s Revue imprint.

Despite being called a “sextet,” the recording actually features a 

larger ensemble, with additional horn players adding depth 

and texture throughout the album.

Prestige ‎records 1969 – PR 7629

notes:

Released in 1969 on Prestige Records, The Soul Explosion captures 

Illinois Jacquet at his most soulful and powerful. Long celebrated 

for his raw, blues-driven tenor saxophone, Jacquet rides the wave

him a legend. This session blends big-band muscle, organ-soaked 

grooves and extended improvisation into one of the strongest

 albums of his later Prestige years.

Jimmy Witherspoon Featuring Ben Webster ‎– Roots

 

Jimmy Witherspoon Featuring Ben Webster – Roots (1961 Reprise LP)   Review

Reprise Records ‎1961– R-6057

notes:

Jimmy Witherspoon laid out two great records in 1962 on Reprise,
'Spoon' and this one. 'Roots' places the great blues singer and
guitarist in the company of saxophonist Ben Webster,
trumpeter Gerald Wilson, and a rhythm section consisting
of pianist Ernie Freeman and drummerJim Miller. The mood is laid-back,
down-home, and full of emotion and sentiment. The warmth of
Witherspoon's voice on material like Your Red Wagon,
I'd Rather Drink Muddy Water, Key to the Highway
(in one of the more unique versions ever recorded), and Jimmy Rushing's
Did You Ever is on the other side of lonesome. Webster and
Wilson underscore the sung lines with fills that accent the deep
 blue in Witherspoon's vocal. Jay McShann's Confessin' the Blues
 is a more jazzed-up arrangement, but Witherspoon's deep in the R&B
groove here, taking a hint from Joe Turner. The finger-popping read
of Turner's It's a Low Down Dirty Shame is n the gutbucket;
the rhythm section swings hard. It's not as raucous as the original, but
Witherspoon's smooth, clear, and deep register is beautifully
complemented first by Wilson's solo and then by Webster's.
The real stunner is near the end, when the band takes on Big Bill Broonzy's
Just a Dream, where Witherspoon wails and moans the blues.
It's just chilling. This is one of those recordings that is a true hidden classic.
