Today is the anniversary of Don Sebesky’s passing. His writing is one of the reasons that I’ve always loved CTI records. #music #musicsky #jazzmusic #jazzsky #donsebesky #ctirecords

The vocalist on the title track of #DonSebesky 's "The Rape Of El Morro" was Joan La Barbara. I admit, I didn't know anything about her.
Remarkable, mind blowing, out of this world.
You can stream an interview with her from February 1976 here: archive.org/download/WM_...

Performance: Predictable Recording: Unbalanced If you are looking for range or clarity, you won't find it in the singing voice of Gil Scott - Heron; but, as was the case with Billie Holi- day, Scott -Heron's voice has a prepossessing timbre, and he has the ability to render lyrics with the skill of a good storyteller. Unfortu- nately, he does not have the same talent for writing lyrics, and none of the songs in this al- bum-all with words by Scott-Heron-can compare with The Bottle, his 1973 hit. One problem seems to be that he is locked into a social protest bag. This was considered very hip a few years back, but times have changed, and Scott -Heron's social commentary lacks the sophistication that might get his songs across today. In South Carolina he sings "Whatever happened to the protests and the rage?" Well, I submit that they still exist, but they have taken on new forms, new direc- tions, and Scott -Heron has not moved with them. Brian Jackson's voice has no redeeming qualities that I can hear, and a dull voice sing- ing dull material makes for dull listening, which about sums up my feelings for this album. C.A.
Been going through all the reviews for #DonSebesky 's 1976 album "The Rape Of El Morro". There is one in the Feb issue of HiFi Stereo magazine. I spotted this review of #Gilscottheron and #BrianJackson "From South Africa to South Carolina" album.
Talk about being out of step. Surely not racist?
