Influential albums in my life #6. These two make quite a pair. Legendary blues artists given the heavy drum / heavy psyche treatment on the sub label of the Legendary Chess imprint: Cadet Concept, a label set up by Leonard Chess’s son Marshall meant to bring a youth element to the roster. They started by experimenting with early Chess signings Muddy Waters and The Howlin’ Wolf before continuing on with The Rotary Connection and some psyche rock bands like The Status Quo known for their cut Pictures Of Matchstick Men. Samples for days if you’re a fan of Cypress Hill, Blackalicious... #vintage #vinyl #chess #cadetconcept #samples #blues #psyche #cypresshill #blackalicious #chicago https://www.instagram.com/p/B_S54WOh7VM/?igshid=118j00jkbv5ne

Dorothy Ashby - "Soul Vibrations" b/w "Lonely Girl" (Cadet Concept cat. 5604) Very early on in my education of Soul, Funk, R&B, Jazz and Soul Jazz I discovered my my love of all things Checker, Cadet and Cadet Concept and anything Chess related. While working for the label Grooovy Sounds Unltd we were considered a comp based on the insane records scattered throughout the catalog. While compiling release information for each cut on, Grooovy Sounds Unltd. & Mr. Fine Wine Present Vital Organs Volume One I had several very lengthy and informative phone calls with Kenneth Higney. I had no idea who he was when I was talking to him. Ken’s experience licensing and packaging the Chess family of labels was invaluable to the release of our compilation. I learned more from him than all my research sources combined. One of our conversations surrounded around our love of Richard Evans and Charles Stepney. At the time my favorite track was Ray Bryant’s “Up Above The Rock,” but a close second was “Soul Vibrations.” Unfortunately the band is not credited on the LP or 45 but I do know Phil Upchurch is the guitarist. Considering Evans’ favored players we can only speculate on the band. The drums pound in a very similar way to the Soulful String sessions so I can assume it is Morris Jennings. There is a mood created between the Harp, guitar and strings that is very spiritual, similar to Alice Coltrane’s “Journey to Satchidananda,” Earth, Wind & Fire - “Bad Tune,” I love the addition of Harp and Kalimba to Funk, Soul and Soul Jazz. This is a stock copy with drill hole. Stock copies seem to be rare as hen’s teeth. Hear this and a ton of new finds at DC’s Tavern for this coming First Thursday - May The 4th Be With You!. #primitivesoundsystem #vinylrules #vinyljunkie #recordcollection #recordcollector #revillagrooves @revillagrooves @cyclotronic @collectorscum #dorothyashby #cadetconcept #richardevans #souljazz @dcstavern #dcstavern @dalepix #MayThe4thBeWithYou #FirstThursday @la_bry @disislim @tfool

Hello Y'all, well, that was fucking awesome. Thank you to everyone who came out to the first Sunday Matinee. Our next Sunday Matinee at Low Fidelity in JC Heights is July 17th. Before my last First Thursday I put together a set that I never got to spin out. I call it the Cadet Set since the songs are based on the sound created by the amazing arrangements and production of Richard Evans and Charles Stepney. There is an aspect of the sound that can be described as an evolution of Phil Spector's Wall of Sound. Like Spector there is a beautiful clarity that cuts through the layer of "fog" created by the lush echos and expansive room tone. Sometimes the effect is simple and others it seems to be just on the edge of overpowering but it never obscures, disturbs, or interferes with the music. Marlena Shaw's "California Soul is a great example. The horns and strings sound almost distant and there is a similar sound to the drums until the snare is isolated. The snare jumps out to the front with a beautiful snap. Then, as Ms. Shaw begins to sing, everything seems to line up behind her but only until she gets to the chorus, then the music swirls around her like a warm embrace. In the outro she seems to slip down inside it and she floats away. Please join us for Sunday Matinee, July 17 from 6 to 10PM at Low Fidelity - 328 Palisade Ave, Jersey City, NJ 07307 #primitivesoundsystem #vinylrules #vinyljunkie #vinyl45s #RareRecords #recordcollection #recordcollector #AllVinylAllTheTime #LowFidelityBar @lowfidelitybar #JerseyCity #JerseyCityHeights #JCHeights #SundayMatinee #Instrumentals #Soul, #Funk, Jazz, #ChessRecords, #CadetRecords, #RichardEvans, #CharlesStepney, #CadetConcept, #MarlenaShaw, #RayBryant, #TheSoulfulStrings https://www.instagram.com/p/CfkCXVrOZeF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
