The Jazz Crusade by Big Bill Bissonnette (6957 words)
When they veered from their standard repertoire of blues, marches, and spirituals, it was usually to play jazzed up versions of old sentimental pop tunes or juke box hits for the '40s, the last "new" songs they had learned.
Jazz Crusade represents a meeting of these jazz greats with young whites who were bitten by the music, such as Bill himself, Sammy Rimington and Barry Martyn.
The author participated in the revival of jazz in New Orleans during the 1960s which brought attention to elderly jazz masters, and a dying era of jazz, by tours of night clubs and commemorative recordings.
Cap'n Jazz: Analphabetapolothology: Pitchfork Record Review (0 words)
Cap'n Jazz, a young, volatile Chicago band that broke up in 1995, fits this description perfectly; their only full- length release Shmap'n Shmazz (also known by another title too long to bother writing out fully) is their Holy Grail to the post- emo indie- rock world.
If Analphabetapolothology partially demystifies Cap'n Jazz by making their music more accessible, it makes up for it by proving that the music is well worth all the fuss.
Even the title betrays Cap'n Jazz's need to say everything at once; their songs careen at breakneck speeds with ragged guitars falling all over each other in a race to the finish.
