Impressed with Gilles Peterson Vol 2

CD-Charts > Music > Northern Soul
by: Various Artists

Release Date June 21, 2004
I thoroughly enjoyed this album and bought CDs by Neil Ardley, Mike Westbrook and Amancio D'Silva on the strength of it. I will probably buy stuff by Garrick and Carr (who died in '69).

I am a little perplexed about never having heard of most of these people before buying this CD. There is genius in some of this music.

I have been collecting jazz records since '73, and the only British jazz I own from this era is by McLaughlin, Wheeler, Dave Holland, Ian Carr / Nucleus, Stan Tracey and Mike Gibbs. If I had been aware this talent existed I would not have wasted my time buying all those sterile ECM and silly Keith Jarrett records (especially the ones with Dewey Redman, but also the solo piano stuff).

After Hours 2 - More Northern Soul Masters

CD-Charts > Music > Northern Soul
by: Various Artists

Release Date July 28, 2003
As the title suggests the second in a series of Northern Soul from the Vaults of Atlantic, Atco, Loma, Reprise, and Warner Brothers from 1964-72.

Compiled by Richard Searling and Rick Conrad and good liner notes on all the tracks by Mr S.

Standout tracks for me are the Joanie Sommers stomper Don’t pity me, The Embers-where did I go wrong which has some great horns on it, Deon Jackson – That’s what you do to me and Bobby Sheen’s Something new to do.

This compilation is as good if not better than the first After Hours and highly recommended 4 stars.

Non-Stop Northern Soul All-Night Party

CD-Charts > Music > Northern Soul
by: Casino Soul Orchestra

Release Date September 01, 2003
I bought this one a while ago and soon returned it. It's just a cheap compilation of instrumental tracks, not even by the original artists. It doesn't tell you this on the front cover!! Don't waste your money.
