504 and Then Some
Spring 2008 CD #28
We’ve waited a long time to be able to share WWOZ CD #28 with you, and oh, what a CD it is.
There are some blues to start with from perennial Piano Night participant and longtime Howlin’ Wolf sideman, Henry Gray. Bettye LaVette’s up next, and she’s not shy singing about her man. We have also included some wonderful jazz sides from percussionist Bill Summers, bassist Roland Guerin, and pianist Peter Martin.
Dan Dyer kicks out a great version of Dr. John’s masterpiece, “Walk on Guilded Splinters,” and David Torkanowsky and George Porter Jr., take on the Earl King classic, “Big Chief.” We finish up with some fine funk from Joe Krown and go back to our roots with saxophonist and Mardi Gras Indian Chief Donald Harrison’s version of “Shallow Water.” All in all, it was well worth the wait.
