| Review: The title might lead you to believe that you're going to hear a jump blues collection, but many listeners wouldn't find that categorization strictly accurate. It would be better to say that these 22 songs, all recorded for Bluesville and Prestige between 1959 and 1964, concentrate more on the upbeat, uptempo face of the blues experience, rather than the more downbeat aspects that have more visibility in popular culture. (In fact, they're given more visibility on compilations such as this one's direct predecessor, The Bluesville Years Vol. 11: Blues Is a Heart's Sorrow.) Most of the names here are mid-to-upper-level blues icons ? Otis Spann and James Cotton (playing together), Sonny Terry, Lightnin' Hopkins, Memphis Slim, Willie Dixon, Billy Boy Arnold, Roosevelt Sykes, and Jimmy Witherspoon ? though rather more obscure performers like K.C. Douglas, Homesick James, and Mildred Anderson are here too. Both rural and urban styles are represented, but urban styles are more in evidence. Sometimes, the blues is not just urban but urbane, with a jazzy feel on cuts by Little Brother Montgomery, Witherspoon, and Anderson (the last of whom has a band including tenor saxophonist Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis and organist Shirley Scott). A more hard-hitting brand of brash electric blues, however, is on board via cuts by Arnold, Homesick James, Spann, and Cotton. The Spann-Cotton duet on 'Lightnin' (with Muddy Waters on guitar) is the high spot of the disc, although the recording quality isn't so hot. Like all of the volumes in this series, this is a decent sampler of the Bluesville/Prestige catalog, though too loose in its thematic and musical groupings to rate among the better blues compilations. |  |

| Reviews:
In the liner notes of this CD producer Joel Dorn laments about how the
flute struggled to be accepted as a jazz instrument until the mid-50's.
He went through the vaults of Atlantic Records and put together this
collection of flute performances. As the subtitle suggests, these are
funky flute grooves from the 60's and 70's. While that may be an accurate
description, it doesn't really help Dorn's argument about the flute.
Most of these songs are of a quiet nature, as evident on the opener,
Herbie Mann's 'Comin' Home Baby', which has Mann solo- ing over a blues
vamp. "Fathead" Newman's 'Thirteenth Floor' has a 'Mission Impossible'
feel to it. Yusef Lateef plays long lines on 'Nubian Lady', and Hubert
Laws gets into a Latin feel with the pleasant 'Let Her Go'. Rahsaan
Roland Kirk gets into a soulful mood on the Bill Withers' classic 'Ain't
No Sunshine'. Leo Wright finally gets things swinging with his 'Wiggler'.
But the highlight of this set has to be Kirk's 'One Ton', where he just
gets crazy on the flute, with his singing and grunting. A very spirited
performance! Mann returns to end the album with his classic 'Push Push',
where Herbie plays an outstanding solo throughout. This is a rather
quiet affair. It seems if Dorn wanted to really promote the flute as
a jazz instrument, he could've gotten better material. This stuff is
okay, but hardly a collection to turn people on to the flute. Maybe
he should have looked in other places than Atlantic's vault. There's
great flute music out there, you just have to know where to look. -- |

| A collection of flute pieces from some of the most influential names in jazz, Heavy Flute often relies on material from the '70s. Featured artists include Yusef Lateef, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Hubert Laws, and Herbie Mann (who opens the album with 'Comin' Home Baby' and closes it with his rendition of 'Push Push'. Herbie Mann's playful 'Comin´ Home Baby' starts off the set, followed by the near-classical arrangement of 'The Thirteenth Floor', by David 'Fathead' Newman. Yusef Lateef's 'Nubian Lady' is as sexy as a 19 year-old Phoebe Cates (or insert name of whoever does it for you), and is the top track here. Leo Wright's 'The Wriggler' wriggles itself to the same neighborhood as Mann. Hubert Laws', 'Let Her Go' and Lateef's 'Eboness' are the closest to straight-forward jazz. Rahsaan Roland Kirk sputters, skwonks, gulps and even vocalizes while playing on 'Ain't No Sunshine' and 'One Ton'. The latter can get a little monotonous to my ears, but you sure have to admire the versatility and energy of a man who plays tenor sax, flute, nose flute, gong, and whistle virtually (and sometimes literally) simultaneously. Charles Lloyd puts on the Latin jazz with 'Sombrero Sam' and Mann's 'Push Push' pushes you back to the dance floor as he bookends the set. The liner notes by co-producer Joel Dorn (who originally produced much of the material) make a case for the flute in jazz. "Along with Herbie, there's Rahsaan, Yusef and Hubert Laws, who I think collectively did for the flute what Trane did for the soprano". He doesn't need to make his case, however. Once you have heard this album, all else is redundant. | I could hardly imagine a more appropriate title for Joel Dorn’s compilation of jazzy flute tracks culled from a variety of LPs issued on the Atlantic label between 1962 and 1972. The funky Dorn refers to in the subtitle of this enjoyable collection has more to do with the original intent of the word when used to describe soulful, blues-based, largely acoustic jazz à la Horace Silver, Grant Green, Jimmy Smith, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, and Les Mc Cann. All of the music on Heavy Flute predates the advent of slap bass and the widespread use of synthesizers (there is, however, plenty of Fender Rhodes piano!), though the early 70s tracks by Yusef Lateef (Nubian Lady) and Herbie Mann (Push Push) certainly edge toward a more contemporary feel. I think this collection accomplishes just what Dorn set out to do: it presents the listener with a set of accessible-but-not-totally-lame, funky jazz tunes with the flute out in front. Leo Wright’s 'The Wiggler' (with guitarist Kenny Burrell) is the closest thing to a pure jazz track on the CD, and it is probably the least familiar. I hate to split hairs, but Hubert Laws’ track is actually played on piccolo, though it has an appealing Latin lilt. The tracks by Lateef, Kirk and Charles Lloyd are all classics, and many jazz fans my age (early 40s) will know them well. For example, Lloyd’s groovy Latin jaunt, 'Sombrero Sam', has been covered by Gabor Szabo, El Chicano, and Harvey Mandel to name just a few. Both Kirk tracks feature his oft-imitated, never equaled, fervid, aggressive flute playing. Both of the Lateef tracks, by contrast, highlight his cooler, more intellectual side. I´ve never been a big fan of Herbie Mann, and his inclusion here next to the likes of Lateef, Kirk, and Hubert Laws highlights his limitations as an improvisor. That said, 'Push Push' might well be the hardest-grooving track on the CD, and features a riveting solo by the late Duane Allman to boot. | ||

| 'Kush' was named after a historical African city and was a featured part of Dizzy Gillespie's live shows. Dizzy's recording featured a brilliant performance by flutist Leo Wright, who, billed as "Lion Wrong", also lends his talents to this big band recording. From the ultrarare record 'Eso Es Latin Jazz, Man !', Diaz Mena leads this polished orchestra in a beautiful rendition of a jazz classic featuring two helpings of chocolate: the leader on congas, and the marvellous ubiquitous trumpeter, Alfredo "Chocolate" Armenteros. |  |

| Ralph Gleason's Jazz Casual was an early attempt to document jazz on public television during the 1960s. After their initial broadcasts, the programs were set aside until someone at Rhino obtained the rights to issue them on video, with Koch issuing audio-only CDs. Dizzy Gillespie's set is the more explosive of the two, with pianist Lalo Schifrin, alto saxophonist and flutist Leo Wright, bassist Bob Cunningham, and drummer Chuck Lampkin. The trumpeter's interaction on his exotic-sounding tribute to his wife, "Lorraine," focuses on the interaction of his muted horn with Wright's flute, while the opener, "Norm's Norm," is more in-your-face bop. Benny Golson's "Blues After Dark" has more of a soft-shoe sound, accented with Lampkin's brushes in a relatively long workout. The excerpt of Schifrin's "Gillespiana" is interrupted by the host's closing comments and then faded since time was up. All of Art Farmer's quartet recordings with guitarist Jim Hall merit attention, and this discovery is no exception. With bassist Steve Swallow (prior to his switch to electric bass a few years later) and drummer Walter Perkins, the subtle flugelhornist leads his group through an enjoyable set, starting with a snappy take of Irving Berlin's "Change Partners," a beautifully understated waltz treatment of "Sometime Ago," and a foot-patting take of "My Kind of Love." |

| Many bossa nova compilations are capable of startling even educated listeners because so much quality music was recorded in Brazil during the mid- to late '60s. Bossa Nova Lounge: Corcovado, one in a series, is no different. Compilers Leonel Pereda and Ronaldo Bastos are very knowledgeable sources, and they keep to the first rank of bossa artists even while they choose performances unfamiliar to many (and, for the sake of continuity, also restrict the inclusions to a narrow period of time). This has the best lineup of any in the series, including excellent performances from nearly every great Brazilian artist of the '60s and '70s, such as Jobim, Jorge Ben, Joyce, Sylvia Telles, Wanda Sá, and João Donato. Highlights occur throughout a compilation of this caliber, but Sá's version of "Agua de Beber" stands out, far more beguiling than Astrud Gilberto's better-known version. Roberto Menescal's "Surfboard" is one of the lightest, most playful versions of any Jobim song, while Donato's delight at toying with the melody on "Só Danço Samba" follows close behind. |  |
