One tends to think of Lewis as a junior amongst the ranks of Bechet, Johnny Dodds and ... more
Noone, but in fact he was born in New Orleans in
1900, the year when Louis Armstrong was supposed
to have arrived. Although Lewis didn't come to the
attention of the fans until the 1940s, he had
begun playing in 1919 and his keening, woody sound
went back to Piron and Bacquet rather than to the
more musically emancipated clarinettists like
Bechet, Noone and Barney Bigard. This was because
Lewis stayed in New Orleans whilst the others went
up river to Chicago and New York where
sophisticated leaders like Ellington and Earl
Hines demanded more elaborate skills from them.
But there is a pristine quality that stayed with
Lewis and his partner here, trombonist Jim
Robinson, which seemed to form a direct link with
the period of Buddy Bolden and the legends. It is
to them that we turn for the essence of New
Orleans jazz. These recordings were made in 1966,
two years before Lewis's death. Eleven of them
benefit from the fine piano playing of Don
Ewell--it has to be owned that he makes little
difference to Lewis, who goes his own way, but
it's good to hear Ewell's expert solos and
accompaniment. --Steve Voce

A triumph of ideas....
Review of Heroes [Remastered] - David Bowie by Miles13

Advantages: It's Bowie
Disadvantages: None come to mind

...After creating new musical ideas and inspirations for “Low” and refining them while recording and producing Iggy’s Pops album “The Idiot” Bowie returned to the Hansa studio’s in Berlin in the Summer of 1977 to begin work on his own recording called “Heroes”, for this album he assembled a small but powerful cast of musicians which where as follows: - Carlos Alomar (rhythm guitar) George Murray (bass) Dennis Davis (drums) Brian Eno (keyboards and guitar treatments) Tony Visconti production and on lead guitar ex-King Crimson member Robert Fripp. The reason that Eno had brought Fripp along he later recalled was that he would best respond by being surprised into action, Eno said “ We put the songs on, these songs he’d never heard, he didn’t know what the chords where going...
