Charles Brown - One More For The Road - 1989.





Review:

One of the first comeback salvos that the veteran pianist fired after suffering the slings and arrows of anonymity for much too long. Typically delectable in a subtle, understated manner, Brown eases through a very attractive program.

Charles Brown - Driftin' Blues, The Best Of Charles Brown 1945 - 1956.

Review
Originally put out by EMI in 1991, this roundup of Charles Brown's 1945-1956 Aladdin sides is essential listening for all R&B fans, and that goes for jazz and pop lovers as well. Sticking mostly to an exquisite after-hours mode, Brown delivers one smooth blues gem after another until this 20-track disc comes to a close. Backed for the most part by guitarist Johnny Moore and his Three Blazers, Brown effortlessly lays down such standouts as the title track, "Black Night," and "Get Yourself Another Fool." Yes, the mood here is evocative of Nat Cole's classic trio sides, but Brown and Moore -- unlike Cole, infuse their lush surroundings with a healthy dose of sophisticated West Coast blues. Capped off with the original version of Brown's classic Yuletide cut "Merry Christmas Baby," Driftin' Blues is the perfect way to get cozy with this venerable blues performer. Stephen Cook

Charles Brown And Johnny Moore's Three Blazers - Recorded between 1945 and 1946, Released in - 1996.

Review
England's exemplary Ace Records label does its usual brilliant job of bringing the truly essential recordings of the late swing bluesman Charles Brown to a single CD. Driftin' & Dreamin' captures Brown with Johnny Moore's under-celebrated but no less influential Three Blazers. "Travelin' Blues" (later released as "Driftin' Blues, Pt.2") is here, as are both parts of the "Warsaw Concerto," "So Long," and a gorgeous reading of Irving Berlin's "How Deep Is the Ocean." This is one packed-to-the-gills, laid-back treat.
