Newport Folk Festival: Best of the Blues 1959-1968
: :These three CDs document some of the greatest moments of culture shock in American music. Most of the bluesmen who first came to Newport had never played before audiences so attentive, large, or white. And those listening had never experienced anything like Skip James's blood-chilling whine, Reverend Gary Davis's furious testifying, or Mississippi John Hurt's twirling melodies. Most of the audience, in fact, assumed the bluesmen were dead. As a cinematic sweep of just what made those countercultural gatherings so exciting and diverse, this set is an unqualified success (though the rather arbitrary ...

Complete Blue Note 45 Sessions
: :Ike Quebec was one of the great tenor saxophonists to emerge from the swing era with a sound and drive that came straight from the early giants of the horn, Coleman Hawkins and Ben Webster. Like Webster, he had a multi-hued sound, with a thousand gradations from honk to gruff aside to breathy sweetness. A featured soloist with Cab Calloway before slipping into obscurity, Quebec renewed an association with Blue Note in 1959, recording extensively with the label until his death in 1963. His singles are elemental music, much like those of Gene ...

And This Is Maxwell Street
: :On Sunday mornings at Chicago's famous Maxwell Street open-air market, busking bluesmen would battle with hawkers, preachers, and dancers for coveted space. In 1964 filmmaker Mike Shea chronicled this bubbling scene for his landmark documentary And This is Free; in the process, he preserved stunning examples of raw, informal, gritty, undeniably urban blues, the best of which is included on these two revelatory CDs. Amazingly, legendary figures like Robert Nighthawk and Carey Bell were as likely to show up as any number of local gospel singers and blues pickers. Nighthawk's tenacious saw-toothed guitar ...
