I'm Going to That City
Preachin' the Gospel- Holy Blues 1991 via Sony
a note about this track

For 75 Years, Sister Ola Mae Terrell Sang Her Own Gospel Compositions On Street Corners In The South. A Conversion Experience During A Tent Revival At Age Eleven Inspired Her To Learn Guitar And Write Gospel Songs And Sing Them On Vice-RIdden Decatur Street. She Preferred The Life Of An Itinerant Evangelist, Supporting Herself With Her Music From The Depression Years To The Eisenhower '50s. Sister Terrell Had No Interest In The Folk Revival When Discovered In 1960's: Her Minimal Complement Of Recordings Were Reissued During That Time. Sister Ola Mae Terrell Remained Culturally Isolated And Spiritually Insulated Until Her Passing At Ninety-Five Years Of Age In 2006.

a note about this track

'820' Jazz Presents: 'Sugar', Recorded November 1970 By The Stanley Turrentine Septet For Creed Taylor's CTI Label, Following A Long Association With Blue Note. Notice How The Smoldering Groove Is Captured By The Players Early On, With Each Solo Taking A Very Healthy Slice Of The Moment. This Album Is Referred To As A Relic From A Time When Jazz Was Going Through Growing Pains; I Hear It As Another Evolutionary Turning Point For Stanley Turrentine - - - - - - - Pablo Landrum, Congas...Billy Kaye, Drums...Ron Carter, Bass...George Benson, Guitar...Butch Cornell, Organ...Freddie Hubbard, Trumpet...Stanley Turrentine, Tenor Saxophone
