Today's listening takes us straight to the dawn of the blues. More than creating the blues (whose roots, as is known, are lost in the centuries and in the routes of slaves between Africa and the New World), William Christopher Handy (1873 – 1958) is one of the first to have cleaned the blues from the mud and dust from which it arose, giving it a veneer of acceptability to those who really didn't want to see that mud and that lament. The classic we propose today is the version of Handy's pieces by Louis Armstrong, released in 1954 for Columbia.
Credits:
Bass – Arvell Shaw
Clarinet – Barney Bigard
Drums – Barrett Deems
Piano – Billy Kyle
Trombone – Trummy Young
Trumpet, Vocals – Louis Armstrong
Vocals – Velma Middleton

For more in-depth information, I recommend the great page by @[odradek] on Delta blues, from which Handy drew abundantly: Founder Of The Delta Blues 1929-34 - Charlie Patton - Recensione di odradek

Appendix of the Baroque Corner of Radiocapish ("at the court of the Capish King”) and clarification to be noted at the bottom of my page: Goldberg-Variationen (BWV 988) - Johann Sebastian Bach - recensione

Let’s dot the i’s as only a capish can (and must) do. Regarding the interpretations of the Goldberg Variations (Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis 988), I would dare to say that, as beautiful and personal as Glenn Gould’s version is (doubly beautiful, both in his impetuously youthful 1955 recording and his mature 1981 one; quite different from each other, as is obvious), the principal instrument on which this paradigm of “variations on a theme” best reveals its essence is the harpsichord. Both in the ancient (1933/'34) and magical recording (which practically coincides with the rediscovery of the instrument itself) by Wanda Landowska, and in Keith Jarrett's inspired rendition (1989). Although it is textually precise, the famous recording by Gustav Leonhardt (1978) feels a bit cold and mannered, while I prefer to refrain from commenting on others (there are options for all tastes). Unique, however, is the performance for string trio published in 2007 by Deutsche Grammophon, featuring Mischa Maisky on cello. For more on Maisky and the soaring suites for solo cello, refer to @[odradek]'s extensive page: Suites Per Violoncello 1-6 - Johann Sebastian Bach - Mischa Maisky - recensione

Therefore, if you really like baroque music played on the piano (a notion that’s hard to understand, except for the exception of G. Gould, which proves the rule), stick to Gould, because the others (I might be mistaken, but this is an opinion carefully formed after mooooooltiple listens) completely betray the spirit of the composition. And if you have to choose between the two Goulds, the mature one (in my taste) is the best. If you truly love Bach, first listen to W. Landowska's version (obtain it digitally or, even better, in analog; the one on yutub is quite poor). You will likely not be disappointed.

Best regards,
*

Given our Sire @[lector]'s penchant for baroque music, Radiocapish brings you a new weekly appointment titled “Baroque Mondays: at the court of the Capish King.”
This first Monday of September, to kick things off, we offer you the listening of the “Livre premier de clavecin” by Jacques Champion de Chambonnières (1601? - 1672), the initiator of the French harpsichord school, whose most renowned representatives are undoubtedly Louis Couperin and his nephew François.
The compositions of the “harpsichordist of the king” Champion de Chambonnières, although often constructed on counterpoint, do not employ forms such as fugues or ricercari; forms that instead enjoyed widespread use between the late 1500s and early 1600s in the Italian school, as well as in the German school at the end of the century. Shaped by the musical structures of dance, his works are mostly in the form of Gigue, Sarabande, Courante, and Chaconne. This characteristic will strongly influence the entire subsequent French school.

Index:

Suite No. 1 in A [A] MINOR (12’32’’)

Suite No. 2 in C [C] MAJOR (7’43’’)

Suite No. 3 in D [D] MINOR (16’03’’)

Suite No. 4 in F [F] MAJOR (8’27’’)

Suite No. 5 in G [G] MINOR (14’34’’)

On harpsichord: the Canadian Kenneth Gilbert (1931 – 2020).

Enjoy your listening.

Ein Kessel Buntes, Friedrichstadtpalast Berlin, 27.09.1975 (Karel Gott, The Rubettes, Peter Albert)

Ein Kessel Buntes ("A Cauldron of Colors") was a sort of Top of the Pops in the GDR. But it aired much less frequently: just six episodes a year, featuring the crème de la crème of German and international artists. Obviously, only those who WERE DOING WELL. It was nonetheless a top-notch show, so much so that even West Germans (who could receive the signal) watched it, despite having Musikladen.

In this East Berlin show from '75 we have: at minute 1, the Czechoslovak nightingale Karel Gott, at minute 20 the Polish trio 2 + 1 (Dwa plus jeden) with their folk-pop still appreciated in the West, at minute 45 the little Norwegian singer and trumpeter Eivind Løberg, at minute 58 the schlager of Erfurt's idol Peter Albert, at 1 hour and 12 more bucolic folk with the duo Sandra Mo & Jan Gregor (the Sonny & Cher of Dresden), at 1 hour and 22 finally the rock moment with the (still harmless and super-sweet) Rubettes, at 1 hour and 45 Karel Gott returns for an encore to cheers, at 1 hour and 49 a trio of divas from the ČSSR (Jitka Zelenková, Vlasta Kahovcová & Jarmila Gerlová), at 1 hour and 52 Karel Gott, who you must have understood was quite appreciated, for the third time.

In between: sketches, folk dances, and - I note - dancers doing tricks with hats at 1 hour and 08.

Kid Blue - Louise Goffin
Oh My God (feat. Van Dyke Parks)

Chapter DAUGHTERS OF-.
There’s no need to specify whose daughter she is, both by surname and because she is the spitting image of her mother.
She resembles her in voice as well, and in her debut album (recorded as a teenager), there was some effort to emphasize this resemblance.
As much as possible, because that album was actually closer to certain AOR than to her mother's "classic" style.
The production and the involvement of certain names (Steve Lukather, David Paich, Mike Porcaro) speak for themselves. But it was a nice album for a nineteen-year-old who, with the right - inevitable - connections, should have made a certain career.
However, I later deduced that she likely didn’t care about becoming the new Pat Benatar or the new Stevie Nicks of the '80s, and I would say: fortunately.
So, few (relatively) albums in over forty years of activity, always away from the limelight, a few appearances opening for her mother’s concerts, zero opportunistic maneuvers to live off past glories.
Until the latest album, self-produced and self-promoted through her Facebook page, with a cover that is an old drawing by a certain Joni Mitchell, a family friend.
Among others, a piece orchestrated by a certain Van Dyke Parks, also a family friend, who doesn’t even have a Facebook page.

Which quirky world can Cat Stevens and Can walk hand in hand? It's in one of the most beautiful films of the '70s: "Deep End" (beautifully translated as "La ragazza del bagno pubblico") by the Polish Jerzy Skolimowski, which features, in the soundtrack, "But I Might Die Tonight" by Cat Stevens and "Mother Sky" by Can. For those curious, in another very beautiful film by Skolimowski, "Le Départ" (1967), starring a young and obnoxious Jean-Pierre Léaud, the original soundtrack, composed by Krzysztof Komeda, was performed, among others, by Gato Barbieri and Don Cherry. While I'm at it, I'll add this one too.

The HU - Wolf Totem (Official Music Video)

The Hu is a Mongolian folk-metal group. They use traditional Mongolian instruments and their lyrics refer to Mongolian traditions, horses, wolves, the steppe, and battles. However, all of this is fused with modern sounds and a singing style that often transforms into a chorus with guttural tones, reminiscent of the typical traditional Sardinian singing.

Not to brag about owning it, mind you...
After all, it's an album that is far from rare. If you search for it, you'll find it, and you might even come across it without looking.
It is indeed particular, though, and not just because it's a soundtrack.
I’d say it's a bit underrated. It was unfortunate enough to be released between Night and Day and Body and Soul.
How much I've appreciated it, you can infer from the condition of the cover. I'm just sorry I've never seen the film (with Debra Winger).
For which - what a pity - it seems they only used a minimal part of Joe's music, replacing it with some anonymous theme by John Barry.
It needs to be listened to because it’s a work in full Joe style (the Moonlight theme is beautiful, vaguely derived from A Slow Song but I don’t see that as a flaw; Cosmopolitan has great energy; and eleven minutes of Latin instrumental that would make quite an impression even on a fusion record).
He plays the sax, but that's the most obvious detail.
