Delmark New Releases

Deep Blue Organ Trio
Going To Town: Live at the Green Mill
Delmark DVD 1569 / DE 569

Here's what the critics said about Deep Blue's first CD Deep Blue Bruise (Delmark 556):

Organist Chris Foreman's “insistently swinging, blues-drenched solo lines are dripping with churchified soul and show a fertile imagination. Foreman stands to advance to the front ranks of the elite B3 burners on today's scene"--Jazz Times “Whether the groove is moody, funky, or briskly swinging, guitarist Bobby Broom plays a crisp, articulated attack and wraps his spiraling lines in timbres that glow like burnished copper"-- Guitar Player

“Rockingham again proves to be one of the steadiest and most reliably swinging drummers around"--Jazz Times

Going To Town takes us direct to the Green Mill where Deep Blue created their sound and have been exciting crowds Tuesday nights for the last three years. DVD also contains interview special feature.

Ernest Dawkins' New Horizons Ensemble
The Messenger: Live at the Velvet Lounge
Delmark DVD 1570 / DE 570

AACM saxophonist/composer/bandleader Ernest Dawkins brought his NHE into the Velvet Lounge on July 14, 2005 for this live DVD/CD, knowing it would be one of the groups' last performances at the historic “old" Velvet Lounge. The club is now closed (the last night was April 1, 2006) though the new location is supposed to be open in May. Trumpeter Maurice Brown has been gaining much critical acclaim and popularity in the last two years. He's been working with Dawkins whenever possible since his relocation to New Orleans and then New York. His return to Chicago for this gig is a wonderful addition to Steve Berry, trombone; Darius Savage, bass and Isaiah Spencer, drums. Other Delmark albums by Ernest Dawkins' NHE include Mean Ameen (559); Capetown Shuffle (545); Jo'burg Jump (524).

Kansas City Frank Melrose
Bluesiana
Delmark DE 245

Pianist Frank Melrose was the younger brother of music publishers and agents Walter and Lester Melrose, who ran Melrose Brothers music store in Chicago and were very involved in the business end of the Chicago jazz and blues scene of the '20s and '30s. Melrose was a big fan of Jelly Roll Morton who did business with his brothers. Morton and Frank were reputably friends and jammed together occasionally in clubs on the south side of Chicago. Frank settled in Hammond, Indiana. He recorded in the '20s solo and with Wingy Manone, Bud Freeman and Johnny Dodds. His last session was in '41 as he was found dead that Labor Day. This previously unissued session was recorded in 1940 and features quintet sides with trumpeter Pete Daily, trio and solo material.
