ONCE UPON A TIME...End Of The Rainbow

 

PATTI AUSTIN  End Of The Rainbow  (CTI,1976) - R&B


     The ever-lovely Patti Austin is a doyenne of the soul and jazz scene. She made her debut way back in 1954, when, aged just four, she wowed the audience of the Harlem Apollo. Her brief appearance at the famed theatre was enough to secure her a deal with RCA Records – a child prodigy indeed. Mind you, with godparents like Quincy Jones and Dinah Washington, the auguries were long in place. By the late 60s Patti was the session singer and jingle/commercial maker of choice on the New York studio scene. At the same time she found time to make her own solo records with labels like ABC, United Artists and Columbia though major chart success just eluded her… maybe she was content enough to be “Queen Of The Jingles”! Then, after organising the backing vocalists for several CTI recordings, label boss, Creed Taylor, signed her up as a performer and the result was the acclaimed 1976 album ‘End Of Rainbow’ which secured a top 40 placing in the Billboard jazz album chart. Pleased with that success, Taylor allowed Patti to cut two more LPs – ’78’s ‘Havana Candy’ and ’80’s ‘Body Language’.

GUITAR WOLF...Joe Perry

Слика
        It’s hard to conceive a better musical foil for Steven Tyler than his longtime partner and occasional adversary. For more than 40 years, Joe Perry’s monstrous, blues-on-steroids riffs have been  Aerosmith ‘s bedrock. And his solos, jutting out from “Walk This Way” or slashing boldly through the high-gloss production of later hits like “Janie’s Got a Gun” and “Cryin’,” have a caffeinated energy that’s every bit Tyler’s match.

LITTLE DRUMMER BOY...Matt Cameron

Слика
        More than any other drummer, Matt Cameron laid the rhythmic foundation for the Nineties rock revolution, reconciling proggy technicality with overwhelming force. He aptly characterized his rotary-blade rhythms on the 1991 Soundgarden track "Jesus Christ Pose" as "a pure assault of the senses," but that efficient brutality wasn't necessarily characteristic of Cameron's work with the band – his drumming on  Superunknown  is as thoughtful as it is heavy, from the fluid asymmetry of "Spoonman" to the unshakeable backbeat of "Fell on Black Days." Twenty years after its release, Dave Grohl was  still raving , "Nobody played drums like Matt." When Soundgarden suddenly disbanded in 1997, Cameron wasn't out of work for long: Pearl Jam invited him on tour the following year.  SOUNDGARDEN  Badmotorfinger A&M,1991 https://www.sendspace.com/file/uaniyr

ONCE UPON A TIME.....Still

  PETE SINFIELD  Still  (Manticore,1973) - Progressive rock       The name Pete Sinfield may not mean much to the casual prog observer but to aficionados his identity will always be linked to  King Crimson . As the band’s lyricist and, to a degree,  Robert Fripp ’s artistic muse, Sinfield contributed the lyrics to the first four Crimson albums.        For reasons unknown, the firm of Fripp and Sinfield ceased trading circa 1971 but, rather cunningly, former KC bassist  Greg Lake , perhaps sensing a lack of lyrical gravitas, created a similar role for him in the world-conquering  ELP .       Still , Sinfield’s first and only solo album was unveiled to the public in May 1973 and was quickly sidestepped by all but a very few discerning members of the progressive rock-buying public.  TRACKLIST : The Song Of The Sea Goat                          Under The Sky                          Will It Be You                          Wholefood Boogie                          Still
