Artist: Ben Sidran Title: Nick's Bump Year Of Release: 2003 Label: Liquid8 Genre: Jazz Quality: Mp3 / 320kbps Total Time: 48:08 min Total Size: 109 MB Tracklist ----------- 01. Little Sherry 02. Cryin' Blues 03. Black Jack 04. Blue Panther 05. The Cats 06. Zambia 07. Mean Greens 08. Listen Here 09. Blue Minor 10. Nick's Bump Groove-oriented jazz didn't start with the organ combos and soul-jazz groups of the '60s and '70s; plenty of grooving occurred with Dixieland in the '10s and '20s and swing in the '30s and early to mid-'40s. But soul-jazz did remind the jazz world that it was still OK for an improviser to groove -- that not everything had to be as complex and demanding as John Coltrane's "Giant Steps" or Sonny Rollins' "Oleo." And those soul-jazz and jazz-funk grooves of the '60s and '70s continue to hold up well after all these years, which is why Ben Sidran celebrates that era on this 2003 date. Although Sidran is known for his singing, he favors an instrumental setting on Nick's Bump; this time, Sidran uses the Hammond organ and the electric piano to get his points across -- and he savors the funkier side of post-swing jazz whether he is embracing Sonny Clark's "Blue Minor," Donald Byrd's "Black Jack," or three Eddie Harris compositions ("Listen Here," "Mean Greens," and "Cryin' Blues"). If Nick's Bump sounds dated, it is dated in the positive sense -- dated as in remembering how rewarding a particular era was and being faithful to the spirit of that era. Nick's Bump recalls a time when soul-jazz players realized that jazz was losing more and more listeners to R&B and rock -- and that the only way to win over those Marvin Gaye, Rolling Stones, and James Brown fans was to groove and be accessible. Soul-jazz, unfortunately, didn't restore the mass appeal that jazz enjoyed during the Great Depression and World War II, but it was a noble effort -- one that Sidran happily remembers on Nick's Bump, which falls short of essential but is still an infectious, enjoyably funky demonstration of what he can do in an instrumental setting. ~Alex Henderson http://rapidgator.net/file/7a68b6c9a00569cb989bb50b44e28028/BenSidranBump.rar.html http://ssh.tf/9RQ10VmD7/BenSidranBump.rar http://uploaded.net/file/7zrrdwge/BenSidranBump.rar

Artist: Ben Sidran Title: Dylan Different Live In Paris At The New Morning Year Of Release: 2010 Label: Bonsai Music Genre: Jazz / Vocal Jazz Quality: Mp3 / 320kbps Total Time: 61:30 min Total Size: 138 MB Tracklist ---------- 01. Intro Gotta Serve Somebody 02. Rainy Day Woman 03. Blowin' In The Wind 04. Subterranean Homesick Blues 05. All I Really Want To Do 06. Tangled Up 07. Everything Is Broken 08. Maggie's Farm 09. Love Minus Zero (No Limit) 10. The Times They Are A-Changin' 11. On The Road Again 12. We Are Here But For A Minute Pianist-vocalist Ben Sidran is one of those rare characters celebrated as much for their intelligent pronouncements on jazz as their ability to play it, and his 1971 book Black Talk remains one of the great dissertations to deal with both the music and its wider socio-cultural context. In fact, there has always been something wily and urbane in Sidran's lyric writing and delivery, regardless of whether the subject is lovers, critics, or lovers who criticise. That the smart 67-year-old Chicagoan should tackle the songbook of Bob Dylan, another famously sharp pen in contemporary pop culture, thus makes a certain amount of sense and right from the downbeat Sidran appears to revel in the words as well as melodies of songs that he grew up with and on. Recorded in concert at Paris' celebrated New Morning, Sidran is on chipper form, backed by a European group that features both trumpeter Erik Truffaz and his longstanding bass guitarist Marcelo Guiliani as well as guitarist/vocalist Rodolphe Burger and drummer Albert Malo. They all skip heartily along the most well-trodden of roads in Dylan land - Subterranean Homesick Blues, The Times They Are Changin' (no "a-" on this tracklisting) and All I Really Want to Do - and essentially bring more blues to the folk-blues that underpinned a major part of Dylan's oeuvre. Certainly, the band has the chops to give the renditions the requisite energy that Sidran's gritty, at times snarling vocal delivery requires, and, on the whole, they capture the sense of dissent and defiance that the originals embody. Maggie's Farm, extrapolated into a dark, brooding 10-minute epic in which Giuliani's bass and Truffaz's trumpet improvise sinuously around a jutting two chord vamp that implies electric Miles without the electricity, is a choice cut. It's a shame, though, that the set ends with the sole Sidran original, We Are Here but for a Minute - it's one that really does not highlight his proven songwriting talents to the greatest effect. It's basically a pastiche of Lay Lady Lay with maudlin, faux-thespian spoken word that jars somewhat compared to the preceding ebullience. ~Kevin Le Gendre http://rapidgator.net/file/17c7ad5151dedadb5b52addab84b8a64/BenSidranMorning.rar.html http://ssh.tf/6vcgh7fbZ/BenSidranMorning.rar https://bytewhale.com/7m8bknpb1hdf/BenSidranMorning.rar
