     Johnny Winter By Don Menn

     Beginning with his great grandmother's hundred-year old Spanish guitar with a neck "all horribly warped like a bow," Johnny Winter -- the Texas blues rocker -- has been stringing guitars since he was eleven. He's worked his way through the years with first a Gibson ES-125, then a white Stratocaster, a couple of Gibson Les Paul customs (one gold, one white), and a '66 Fender Mustang. ... Biography

     As the elder statesman of British blues, it is John Mayall's lot to be more renowned as a bandleader and mentor than as a performer in his own right. Throughout the '60s, his band, the Bluesbreakers, acted as a finishing school for the leading British blues-rock musicians of the era. Guitarists Eric Clapton, Peter Green, and Mick Taylor joined his band in a remarkable succession in the mid-'60s, honing their chops with Mayall before going on to join Cream, Fleetwood Mac, and the Rolling Stones, respectively.

     Trumpeter Chet Baker, accompanied by pianist Michel Graillier and bassist Jean Louis Rassinfosse, covers a lot of emotional ground on this European date. This CD is highlighted by a passionate version of "Love for Sale," and a surprisingly melancholy "Bye, Bye Blackbird," and a relatively upbeat rendition of "Tempus Fugit." -- AMG

     Второй альбом Corey на Alligator'е. Здесь в полной мере проявился его талант к смешению разных стилей. Весьма органично соединяются дельта-блюз с фолк-блюзом и всё приправлено нью-орлеанской духовой секцией. Половина песен - это каверы классических блюзов 30-х годов. Но и собственные песни Corey не уступают. Несмотря на юный для блюзмена возраст (28 лет), получился весьма зрелый блюзовый альбом.

     Corey Harris' second outing for Alligator shows that he's no one-album flash in the pan, with this sophomore effort moving his modern-day acoustic Delta blues vision into even broader territory with delightful results

     AMG rating:

     Benny Golson's debut as a leader was recorded at a time when he was better known as a composer than a tenor saxophonist. This CD reissue, which adds "B.G.'s Holiday" to the original LP program, features Golson in a quintet with fellow future Jazztet co-leader Art Farmer on trumpet, pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Charlie Persip on five selections, and with the same group plus four horns on three other songs. The set is most significant for including an early version of Golson's "Whisper Not" (which soon became a jazz standard) along with "Step Lightly," as well as for the leader's inventive and swinging arrangements; plus, there are some excellent solos from Golson and Farmer. Overall, this underrated gem served as a strong start to Benny Golson's influential solo career. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

     Don Byas on Blue Star is a collection of 23 sides cut in Paris between 1/13/47 and March 1952...The material on this CD is gracious and generally mellow and fans of the mainstream tenor of Byas will have good reason to acquire the material. ~ Bob Rusch, Cadence, All Music Guide
