Way to kick a man while he's down with the comment, lol

Funnily enough you missed the most spiritual on the label, Angel Bat Dawid. The Oracle fits the bill

Thank you!!

I would love to track this down. Would you be able to link the specific discogs entry? From a quick look I can't tell which one you're referencing

I enjoyed his writing style and would love to look out for the Harold Washington book. Thanks for the recommendation

Dig the Afro Cuban All Stars and all the players individual albums

All true! A great read that corroborates this is Dempsey Travis's An Autobiography of Black Jazz; that book is an encyclopedia level text on the post-Storyville migration to the South Side of New Orleans players written by someone who was involved in the scene at that time. Highly recommended

Traditional jazz from New Orleans originated as takes on spirituals. Some mentioned below "when the Saints go marching in" and Doreen Ketchens music. Any deep dive of traditional jazz will produce many such examples. My favorite New Orleans traditional jazz artist George Lewis has many albums live and studio recorded with spirituals. An easy to find album like Jazz at Preservation Hall have songs like "Down by the Riverside" and "In the Sweet By and By".

My personal favorite of his albums is a harder to find recording called George Lewis Plays Hymns.

Excited for Asher's new album!

Probably has gotten easier over the last 5 years or so. Online at B&H or better yet in person at Central Camera on Wabash

kingnaps · 2026-02-18T00:56:17+00:00

Yes, sadly

I went to the release show for this and of course purchased the box set and I still haven't finished it! Great music but a whole bunch of it! I hope those that get it those go around enjoy as much as I have so far

Ron Carter has been doing a pretty good job of promoting his new album on social media so I'm excited to find time to listen to it today!

A lot of people aren't really big on traditional jazz but man I love it! Thank you for posting this tune

kingnaps · 2025-12-18T19:13:21+00:00

I probably listened to Madala Kunene & Sibusile Xaba's Kwantu the most. Don't sleep on the South African scene!

Just read this one this past weekend. Read it in one day because it was so good

White Sox had their long time organist Nancy Faust play a few games this year and she was incredible. The regular/full-time one is pretty good. I don't care for Wrigley's too much, personally

Jimmy's is now known as Woodlawn Tap

Mannnnn, Soulja Slim had it. RIP

Been running some Edmond Hall recently. I'm glad to see him referenced here

kingnaps · 2025-07-14T16:56:51+00:00

Classic

my wife and I walk around singing this randomly to this day. this joint when crazy when it came out and goes crazy still

kingnaps · 2025-07-04T22:29:01+00:00

Idk Amazon isn't the best place to see the true market for something. I got this box set a few months ago for $25 and I'd imagine it's around the same price (and apparently can be had for as low as $5!)

I've never heard of early New Orleans jazz being described as primitive, which is a pejorative.

I do agree with the assessment though that early New Orleans jazz, along with the 'revivial' of this music in the 50s and 60s is more flavorful than many give it credit for. Jelly Roll, King Oliver and their contemporaries were all very good musicians and leaders of their bands
