Bon, la machine à remonter le temps, vous en êtes où les scientifiques ?

Incroyable programmation de l'Ellis Auditorium de Memphis, le 6/8/1965, avec en vedette #HoulinWolf.
L'homme du boogie #JohnLeeHooker arrivait en seconde position sur l'affiche au-dessus de son co-labellisé chez Vee-Jay Records, #JimmyReed, et le guitariste de soul-blues #LittleMilton. Le positionnement en bas d'affiche de #BigJoeTurner et de #TBoneWalker montre bien qu'ils n'avaient pas encore produit de hits. #blues

Count Basie/Joe Turner - The Bosses

Another late-period gem from Pablo (like you couldn’t tell, given the Pablo-esque cover), with Basie and crew backing up Turner in fine form. Blues front to back.

Band includes Zoot Sims & Eddie Davis (tenor), JJ Johnson (trombone), Harry Edison (trumpet), Ray Brown (bass), Irving Ashby (guitar), and Louie Bellson (drums).

Joe Turner was the father figure for all of the 1940s and 1950s rhythm & blues shouters. He honed his craft in the bars and night clubs of Kansas City during the late 1920s and early 1930s, and by the time he appeared in the 1938 "From Spirituals to Swing" concert at Carnegie Hall and made his first records with pianist Pete Johnson, he was already at the peak of his powers.

Turner achieved his greatest commercial success in the 1950s when he joined the roster of Atlantic Records and recorded a lot of contemporary material penned by writers like Jesse Stone, Doc Pomus and Leiber & Stoller. Although he was already in his forties, he became an unlikely rock'n'roll star and recorded a a few teen-oriented songs. But like just about all of his Atlantic releases, even these were excellent records.

Turner's wife, Lou Willie Turner (real name: Luella Brown) was credited as the writer of "Oke-She-Moke-She-Pop" (1953). As the song was released on the flip side of "TV Mama", one of Turner's major hits, it did not make the R&B charts on its own, but it is still a very entertaining record, with Turner fully in charge even in this live video version from 1954:

Big Joe Turner, Rhythm & Blues Years, 1986 on Atlantic

Although this compilation was put out by Atlantic in 1986 (Turner died in late 1985), the recordings come from the 1950s. Turner met the Erteguns at the Apollo Theater in 1951 and made five albums plus many singles and EPs on Atlantic during those years.

Great 2xLP with a gatefold and liner notes including contributions by Ahmet and Nesuhi Ertegun, Bob Porter, Jerry Wexler, Doc Pomus, and Herb Abramson. As the liner notes point out “these are not Joe’s biggest recordings, but they are some of his best performances” – they reissued the biggest hits on another compilation.

Joe Turner, Singing the Blues, 1967 on BluesWay / ABC

“Big” Joe Turner here with Buddy Lucas, Patti Bown, Wally Richardson, Thornel Schwartz, Bob Bushnell, Panama Francis, and Herbie Lovelle. This was his debut album on BluesWay though he was already ~30 years into his career.

This then is Joe Turner with a voice a little more mellow than of yore, but still uniquely alive in the blues idiom and very aware of what’s happening musically. His shouting is hup to the times and still full of sudden surprises. – George Hoefer
