WILLIAM WARFIELD – “Something Within Me” Delmark, 2004 This is a unique document. William Warfield, famed singer of African-American spirituals (best known for his work in “Showboat” and “Porgy and Bess”), teamed up with Bill Carter’s dixieland band in 2000 for a special concert in San Francisco. The day before, they recorded this great set of old-time gospel tunes and New Orleans jazz. Warfield, aged 79 at the time, played piano and sang with Carter’s septet on 9 tracks, then the band added 8 more (some in a separate session). It's a fine tribute to Warfield, who passed away in 2002. Fo’s picks: vocal – 3, 8, 13, 14 inst – 4, 5, 6, 15, 16 1. nice instrumental shuffle, midtempo 2. churchy bounce: solo voice & piano 3. slow hymn, good clarinet, trumpet 4. upbeat march, nice clarinet, trombone 5. lazy intro, then a sweet sloooow drag 6. another slow drag, clarinet feature 7. powerful vocal + piano stride 8. slow and soulful solo, much feeling 9. upbeat stroll, good rhythm section 10. celebration: strong voice + full band 11. low & easy: solos for trumpet, guitar 12. gentle gospel, simple & heartfelt 13. excellent: deep and powerful solo 14. solo hymn starts gentle, gets strong 15. a swinging celebration, solos for all 16. N.O. funeral march, slow then fast 17. “Amazing Grace”: beautiful dignity [ Fo ] – 5/14/2004 | ||
