The Jam Factory - Sittin' In The Trap (1970)

The track "It's Your World" is a true Lost Underground Gem...with it's hints of Blood, Sweat, & Tears or Chicago Transit Authority. Also the rhythm section flavors early Sly & The Family Stone at times. The proliferation of Musical changes within this one track epitomizes what experimental Music was all about in the 70's. Did I mention that this track's lyrics are some of the most righteous, social, and DEEP that you will Ever find on vinyl...?!
I most definitely rate this group above B.S. & T. and Chicago (except C.T.A. & Chicago I). They were much tighter, and their individual talent was proven a short while later. Tracks #A5 and #B2 are fine examples of that tight groove. Additionally, track #A3 is as mellow as one can get for that time period & genre. This song has a vocal flavor reminiscent of a Larry Graham ballad.
I've seen/heard the Wolfgang's Vault live concert, but it's not for sale or download at this time. However I prefer this studio album anyway...by a LONG shot! - DJ Baltimore Boogie Man

Jam Factory Concert [AUDIO]Richmond Coliseum (Richmond, VA) Dec 12, 1971
http://www.wolfgangsvault.com/jam-factory/concerts/richmond-coliseum-december-12-1971.html
CONCERT SUMMARY:Mark Hoffmann - guitar, vocalsKent DeFelice - bass, vocals Gene McCormic - keyboards, saxophone, vocalsJoe English - drums, percussion, vocalsSteve Marcone - trumpet, flugelhornEarl V. Ford, Jr. - trombone, vocals
At the dawn of the 1970s, the Columbia Records label was enjoying monumental commercial success from their signings of Blood, Sweat & Tears and Chicago Transit Authority, two North American bands that had integrated horn sections into a modern rock context. The widespread appeal and chart success of these groups led the label, and its partner label, Epic, to actively pursue other groups which were following a similar path, which led Epic to the horn infused rhythm and blues/funk sextet, Jam Factory. Based out of Syracuse, NY, Jam Factory formed in 1968 and established their reputation as a popular regional band over the next few years. They eventually opened concerts for many high profile national and international acts, picking up fans along the way, many of them fellow musicians.
Epic released Jam Factory's debut album, Sittin' In The Trap, in 1970 and the band took to the road for the next several years performing on the same bill as many of the greatest groups of the era. They became friends with members of The Allman Brothers Band and soon relocated to Macon, becoming active within the thriving Southern Rock scene then revolving around the Allmans and the other talented artists involved with the fledgling Capricorn label.
Other than Jam Factory's obscure Epic album, and a rare single featuring two non-album tracks, recordings of the band are virtually non-existent, which makes this live recording somewhat of a holy grail for fans. Recorded in 1971, when Jam Factory opened for Rita Coolidge and The Byrds at the Richmond Arena, this set not only captures the group near the peak of their powers, but also features most of the original material destined for a second album. With the exception of the set-closing "Mr. Slow," which they perform by request, Jam Factory's set consists entirely of material yet to be recorded.
The set kicks off with the funky rocker "You're The One," beginning with the core quartet establishing the groove and the horns easing in shortly thereafter. Stylistically, the closest comparison may be to the great west coast band, Sons Of Champlin, who were pursuing a very similar path as the Jam Factory takes here, both vocally and instrumentally. "The Ballad Of Maxine," a deep grooving vamp about an aging prostitute, follows. The centerpiece of the set is an epic modular piece, possibly titled "Bright Blue Trips On Sailing Ships." Recalling early Chicago, here Jam Factory ventures into more psychedelic territory, featuring compelling horn arrangements and a hot instrumental break. The rhythm section of Joe English and Kent DeFelice are particularly tight and propel the group through this lengthy composition and throughout the remainder of this set.
Joe English's powerful drumming kicks into the short celebratory number, "I'm You're Friend," featuring a southern-flavored vocal arrangement and swirling organ from Gene McCormic. This sounds right at home with the early stages of Southern Rock, sounding not unlike a precursor to Sea Level, the band formed by keyboardist Chuck Leavell several years later, of which Joe English eventually joined. "Doctor Freeze," which follows, returns to the funky rocking that kicked off the set and transitions into a dramatic speed-jam near the end.
An audience member requests "Mr. Slow" and the band obliges to close their set. The only non-original performed here, this song was featured as the closer to their Sittin' In The Trap album. Written by John Houston, a friend from the band's Syracuse days, the storytelling lyric builds into a hot jam that showcases the various factions in the band. It begins with bass and horns. The guitar and drums join in and slowly build up the momentum. Following the bridge, with its lyric of "take off for the moon," the group launches into a fiery jam, featuring propulsive drumming and blazing guitar runs. Eventually this high-powered jam shifts into a bluesy framework that fades into the ether as the tape stock ran out.
That flaw aside, this is an excellent example of Jam Factory in their prime, performing before an appreciative audience. The band would soon evolve into the Tall Dogs Orchestra of Macon, before the extraordinary drummer, Joe English, would be recruited by Paul McCartney to join Wings. With McCartney, English recorded several hit albums and toured extensively, before joining Sea Level and eventually pursuing a career under his own name.

Blue Six - Beautiful Tomorrow (2002)

In my mind this amazing recording was well ahead of its Time in 2002, and is just now becoming "acceptable" to the indiscriminate ear of The Masses. However the Discriminating Listener has (I'm certain) already exposed himself to the magic sound of Blue Six.

I recall informing a client for an office retirement party that I would include some "Naked Music" in the playlist, not realizing how ill-informed the general public was at the time (and even now) to this genre-busting publisher that I could not quite categorize properly. All I knew was that this was the best Music that I had heard since sliced bread, and it would blend perfectly in a "lounge-type atmosphere". Of course, Beauty is in the ear of the beholder, so if one disagrees then so be it...just as long as the dissent originates from the Listening Experience, and not from word-of-mouth or pre-conceived notions. This particular client was so brainwashed that she became hostile because she assumed that Naked Music involved lewd or vulgar lyrics that would offend her precious guests. 
She was on the verge of removing me from the action. I had to impress upon her that fact that my Reputation was on the line at each and every gig, so I wasn't about to compromise it by introducing inferior music to new clientele.

As it turned out, the function was in a banquet room being shared by another host who was partitioned off. Quite a few of the guests from the other party stuck their heads inside of our function to see what was going on. They were attracted by the Music...which was of a higher caliber than what was being presented across the partition. Not only that, I was offered an opportunity to dj a New Year's Eve party by one of the other party's guests!

This anecdote serves to illustrate just how critical the Music aspect of a party can be...and just how valuable a resource top-shelf Music such as Blue Six really is. "Beautiful Tomorrow" sounds like what Nu or Neo Soul should REALLY sound like - SMOOTH and sultry with a groove for a beat. Add jazzy elements (including a Miles-influenced trumpet passage & a flute that "floats like a butterfly") with original arrangements and the result oozes with Uniqueness...
"Music And Wine" is my track-of-choice. - DJ Baltimore Boogie Man

Abbey Lincoln, Jazz Singer and Writer, Dies at 80

Abbey Lincoln, a singer whose dramatic vocal command and tersely poetic songs made her a singular figure in jazz, died on Saturday in Manhattan. She was 80 and lived on the Upper West Side. Ms. Lincoln’s career encompassed outspoken civil rights advocacy in the 1960s and fearless introspection in more recent years, and for a time in the 1960s she acted in films with Sidney Poitier. She was married to Jazz icon Max Roach from 1962 to 1970. Her singing style was unique, a combined result of bold projection and expressive restraint. Because of her ability to inhabit the emotional dimensions of a song, she was often likened to Billie Holiday, her chief influence. But Ms. Lincoln had a deeper register and a darker tone, and her way with phrasing was more declarative. - New York Times
