I was so intrigued this morning when I saw an Asian American, like me, talking about vinyl. On KZread. In the 70’s it seems like so many of us gravitated towards RnB, though I think we embraced all forms of music. Wasn’t unusual to put The Ohio Players funk on right after Led Zeppelin’s rock. Then in the 80’s the albums you showed from your collection. One thing is true, your (our) knowledge from liner notes made the experience that much richer. Thanks for sharing! I’ll be sure to checkout the rest of your channel.

Yes, good taste with Gene Dunlap with the Ridgeway Sisters. That Quiet Storm sound isn't really talked about that much now but is absolutely my favorite. I guess there's really not much that's mega rare in that style. Sweet soul harmony which is between doo-wop and Quiet Storm can get rather rare with certain 45 only groups. Discogs refuses to recognize Quiet Storm as a style and replied that it was a marketing gimmick. It is a style because it brings out jazz elements to elongated soul ballads with strong harmonies and vocals. I group together when you really can't separate out the artists like James Brown, JB's, Maceo Parker, and Fred Wesley. Same way with Fleetwood Mac and their member's solo albums where multiple members would reappear. Then there's the Buckingham/McVie album and the Buckingham/Nicks album. Those are tough not to group together because it's a continuum. Jazz Shepherd has a unique way of filing by label and then by catalog number which isn't a bad way to do jazz. It lets you know where the gaps are! I guess it could be tricky when they release older works a decade or two later. I prefer by artist and then chronologically by recording date.

@retromusings

Жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching and commenting. I never realised "Quiet Storm" could possibly be categorized as a jazz genre. Gene Dunlap played with Earl Klugh. Both are from Detroit as are the Ridgeway Sisters. Klugh introduced Dunlap to Capital Records. The Ridgeway Sisters are amazing. The 2 tracks on the record, Before You Break My Heart and Should I Take Her Back or Let Her Go featuring Earl Klugh are really wonderful. The piano solo on Before You Break My Heart is pretty awesome. Greg Moore plays on the lp too. I generally organise my records by genre and then alphabetically by artist. I'm looking forward to giving all these records a proper clean and listening to them.

@@retromusings If you played Smokey Robinson's "Quiet Storm" for somebody today, they'd say that's jazz. Sax solos, live instrumentation, and a more loose feel of the beat have been lacking in music for at least 30 years. In current R&B, those traits are not present. Furthermore, WHUR in Washington DC created the Quiet Storm format and they were mostly a jazz station during the day run by Howard University. I just got done playing Mandrill's "Love song" and it's like a fusion of soul, jazz, and even a bit classical. There's a lot of ideas in this music being explored but it's down tempo and palatable unlike the freer forms of jazz. In order for music to get to this level, you need musicians and writers that know theory. Norman Connors, Michael Henderson, and even Burt Bacharach all used jazz chords and harmonies and this music is an extension of that.
