- Lyhyt kuvaus The âMellow CatsânâKittensâ series has been a pleasure for me to work on during the past few years. Iâd always admired my late friend and colleague Ray Toppingâs work on the Modern catalogue and Iâve tried to maintain and build on what he started. While I donât pretend to have Rayâs dedicated appreciation of discographical minutiae, Iâd like to think that, with this and a host of other projects, Iâve also done my bit to keep alive the wonderful productions of the Modern Music Companyâs founder, Jules Bihari. For the fifth volume in the series, weâve taken the opportunity to complete the digitisation of the Modern discographies of several artists who have appeared on previous volumes, such as the Three Bits Of Rhythm and Felix Gross. Weâre also premiering tracks by mainstays of the Modern catalogue that were previously thought lost (Jimmy Witherspoonâs first solo Modern track, âMotelâ) or were undiscovered until relatively recently (our Hadda Brooks track, located on the back of a Smokey Hogg acetate). There are quality cuts by past contributors such as Sylvester âBig Dukeâ Henderson, the equally âBigâ Jim Wynn, Herb Fisher and Johnny Alstonâs Orchestra â all fine purveyors of the kind of music that lit up Central Avenue in the decade immediately following the end of WWII. Our other points of call include Houston, Texas, where we take in selections from Gory (sic) Carterâs lone Modern session, before heading south west to New Orleans for a cut by the George Alexander band that was originally disguised as the work of Ramp Davis. Back on the west coast we feature the great boogie pianist Pete âP.K.â Johnson rollinâ âem just as he did for so long with Big Joe Turner, and jazz guitar/vocal group legend Teddy Bunn jamming with a hot trio led by Kansas City piano king Jay McShann. For those who, like me, couldnât experience the era personally, or the venues from which music like this poured seven nights a week, itâs the next best thing to being there. As ever, deeper research has allowed us to include a copious amount of previously unissued recordings to add further spice to what is already a potent mix â 9 in total. Although this is the fifth instalment of âMellow CatânâKittensâ, the contents are as strong as on any previous volume â and thereâs still plenty of quality vintage Modern repertoire slated for reissue in the next few years. Jump you some boogie? We certainly can, man! By Tony Rounce (Ace Records)
