Jhelisa New Single ‘Oxygen’ Out Now On Dorado Records
She’s back. Released today on Dorado Records, musical maverick Jhelisa returns with a triumphant masterpiece, “Oxygen,' a breath-taking, expansive, unapologetic 11-minute opus. Underpinned by her glorious, deeply seductive voice, remarkable in its power and spiritual force, the richly nuanced track journeys through sections of hypnotic rhythms, infectious hooks, probing jazz lines, African chanting, blues-drenched harmonica, pacey ...
'Light Fantastic' and 'Joanna'
Lately, I've been looking at mid-1960s films and their soundtracks. I'm particularly curious about barely known and forgotten movies, experimental in some cases or low-budget, but keenly scored. The world changed dramatically during this period and almost overnight. The pre-teen and teen market started to gain commercial value and power, and young adults felt at sea. ...
Clark Terry's Big Bad Band, 1979
Trumpeter and flugelhornist Clark Terry had a long career. His first recording session was as a leader, in 1947, with his Section Eights for V-Discs, a label started during the American Federation of Musicians recording ban of 1942-'44 that allowed music to be recorded for the Army provided the masters were destroyed. Soon V-Discs was provided ...

The Jazz Side of Dan Ingram
If you grew up in New York in the 1960s, you often found yourself glued to the radio after school. Hoping for your favorite songs, you bounced back and forth between the city's two big Top-40 stations—WABC at 77 on the dial and WMCA, at 520, “home of the Good Guys." On WABC, Dan Ingram was ...
Backgrounder: Brother Jack's 'Heatin' System"
Between 1968 and 1974, organist Brother Jack McDuff recorded seven albums for Chicago's Cadet label. One of the most interesting of the bunch was The Heatin' System. What made the 1972 double album special was its hip Chicago soul-jazz flavor and the band behind him: Bobby Alston (tp), Don Myrick and David Young (ts,fl), Brother Jack ...
Backgrounder: Burrell With Brother Jack
Guitarist Kenny Burrell recorded four albums with organist Brother Jack McDuff in late 1962 and '63. The one I'm sharing with you today is Crash!, the last of the bunch that was recorded by Burrell for Prestige in February 1963. It featured Burrell with Harold Vick (ts), Brother Jack McDuff (org), Joe Dukes (d) and Ray ...
Documentary: The Beach Boys
For those growing up in the U.S. in the early 1960s, no other group better expressed the essence of summer than the Beach Boys. Their music and the smell of Coppertone suntan lotion still takes me back. Surf rock pre-dated the group, having been launched in 1960 by the Ventures' Walk—Don't Run. A surge of surf bands ...
