Sk1Bum 9,860 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Jennie Lena, Analog Girl In a Digital World was released on April 10, 2020. The first track is a cover of Aretha Franklin's Respect Yourself, and in my opinion, no one should ever cover Aretha's work. All will pale in comparison. That said, the rest of the album is entertaining. Jennie has a soulful voice, and her energy reminds me of Janis Joplin. Overall, this is a good album, and it gets a 7.5 on Sk1Bum's 10 point scale. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sk1Bum 9,860 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Clairdee, A Love Letter to Lena was released on February 19, 2020. A 2018 winner of the Bay Area Jazz and Blues Artist Lifetime Achievement Award, San Francisco based internationally renowned jazz and R&B driven singer Clairdee grew up admiring not only the musical genius of Lena Horne, but also the legendary performer’s commitment to civil rights and dignity for all people. Yet in creating her exquisite, deeply heartfelt, sensual and rhythmically energizing and soul empowering homage A Love Letter to Lena, Clairdee does more than pay homage to a personal cultural hero. She waited until the sociopolitical climate was just right to use Horne’s inspiration to create a visionary masterwork that would draw on and build from her classic catalogue to fashion an impactful, relevant statement for our time.

Sk1Bum 9,860 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Jazz Sabbath, Jazz Sabbath was released on April 10, 2020, with one of the most interesting stories I've come across. I have no idea if it's true or not, but they make an interesting claim: THE STORY Formed in 1968, Jazz Sabbath were considered by many to be at the forefront of the new jazz movement coming out of England at the time. The eagerly awaited debut album, scheduled for release on Friday 13th February 1970, was destined never to be released. Until now. The album was cancelled when news broke that founding member and pianist Milton Keanes was hospitalised with a massive heart attack which left him fighting for his life. The record company took the decision to shelve the album and cancel the scheduled release out of compassion and the financial uncertainty of releasing a debut album from a band without its musical leader. When Milton was finally released from hospital in September 1970, he found out that a band from Birmingham, conveniently called ‘Black Sabbath’, had since released two albums containing metal versions of what he claims were his songs. Milton tried to contact his record label, Rusty Bedsprings Records, only to find out it didn’t exist anymore and the label owner was in jail. All recalled Jazz Sabbath albums had been destroyed when the warehouse burned down in June 1970; which turned out to be a case of insurance fraud by the label owner, leaving only a few bootleg tapes of Jazz Sabbath’s live performances between 1968 and 1969 as proof of existence. The album masters were said to be lost in the fire, but were actually misplaced and gathered dust in the basement vaults of the recording studio for many years, destined never to see the light of day. In late 2019, nearly 50 years later, the man who bought the building where the recording studio had been located (in order to turn it into a vegan pet shop) found the master recording tapes, which contained the original masters from the 1969 recording sessions and the slides containing the original album cover. These tapes have now been remixed and will finally be heard. The album proves that the heavy metal band worshipped by millions around the world are in fact nothing more than musical charlatans, thieving the music from a bedridden, hospitalised genius.
