Oh what joy to have discovered again the very special talent of Ottilie! As a teenager I went to listen to her in London with The Chris Barber Band - at the time I realised what an amazing voice and talent I was listening to but only later did I realise just how good. High up there with the greats of jazz singers, and certainly with a strong hint of Bessie Smith. ENJOY!

I've often wondered just what it must have sounded like the day the ODJB was first heard in England.Imagine the genteel drawing room with its Victrola for playing the new fangled 78s of ballad singers like John McCormack,Peter Dawson or Dame Clara Butt.Suddenly on goes a 78 by a new American band who the audience think is going to be some brass band playing a March.
The needle hits the record and the Sound of Hell opens up!!! Yes it was Livery Stable Blues complete with farmyard impressions and what to the audience sounded like hideously discordant music or maybe the phonograph had broken down! Shortly after the ODJB appeared in England to support a comedian called George Robey who is alleged to have said "either they ... Read More: >>More Details |

Since George Melly died earler this year, I have tried to buy up some of the recordings that made him famous and brought back memories of the two occasions when I was lucky enough to see him perform live. Of all the available albums, this one may not have the most recognisable standards (though Frankie and Johnny are present and correct) but it perhaps sums 'Goodtime George' up best - the title really does say it all.
Even the more bluesy numbers feel quite swinging and up-tempo (check out Send Me to the 'Lectric Chair) and fun numbers like Mississippi Mud and Abdul Abulbul Amir - not one you could get away with singing these days, I should think! - transport you to a night at Ronnie Scott's just before Christmas, the booze flowing ...

Melly croons his way through over a dozen well-known and lesser known songs with his jazz chums on this very fine record. His version of 'September Song' starts off bizarrely and then settles down while 'Anything Goes' and all the others are beautifully performed. He sings well, the musicians are all excellent and the production outstanding. This is real swinging stuff.

I bought this CD after being impressed by the Naxos disc of `John Rutter's Requiem. That was something of a revelation, and probably the strongest recording of that work available. This disc is far less impressive.
The Mass of the Children is a fine work. As when recording the Requiem, this Naxos version uses the chamber ensemble version of the work rather than the full orchestral version. As with the Requiem the performance is top notch, both musicians and voices. No one should expect a piece called `Mass of the Children' to be as deep or searching as a Requiem and this is indeed a lighter work. John Rutter was inspired by his experience of singing in Benjamin Britten's War requiem in 1963, but it is a lighter side of Britten's choral ... Read More: >>More Details |
