0427 Jimmy Witherspoon ['Spoon Sings And Swings] FLAC 11(42.31)

Contributed by grumpy, who writes:-
Great atmospheric live gig. Dick Morrissey is on fire. Phil Seamen too.

David Illingworth ~ Jazz Journal Vol20 No2, February 1967
Undoubtedly the best Witherspoon album for many a year, though perhaps my pleasure was enhanced by the memory of several performances by Morrissey and Spoon. It is in fact a Quintet on this record; a complete whole, singer and backing. South and Bates create a solid background, and Seamen blasts the session along like an after-burner. The boy from Sutton County Grammar School gives Spoon the best tenor backing he has had since Ben Webster was behind him. On occasions he comes on like the old Fats Domino man Herb Hardesty—a direct rhythm-and-blues attack, but not vulgar. Those who have heard this combination over the past year or so will need no encouragement to buy this LP—the recording has been well done, despite the limitations the warm little room at Barnes may have suggested in this respect. Spoon is in fine form, and this is perhaps, his best recording ever—uncluttered by an all-star backing. The less interesting spots are the fast / Gotta Girl and Kansas City and Percy Mayfield's over-sentimental Someone To Love. But the word is less not least. Buy it.

0324 Dick Morrissey [Love Dance] FLAC 7(1.16.12)

Contributed by azule serape, who writes:-
This recording was made as part of a Save The Children Event in 1989 and issued in the UK on cassette only  - presumably just for local consumption (the recording was made in a pub). It was issued later on cd on the obscure Japanese Norma label from which this was taken. One track which was on the cassette (Too Close For Comfort) is not on this cd - presumably too long to fit.
The oddly titled 'Sisyfan' is, in fact, Cedar Walton's 'Holyland' and I wonder whether this came about because of some mis-heard announcement. Somebody certainly says the word after the tune is finished. Sounds Welsh - any thoughts?
Dick was 'lost' to jazz for a number of years in the 1970s and 1980s although he had a very successful jazz-rock partnership with Jim Mullen during that period but he broke free now and again and this is one such outing. He is on fine form.
It is ripped in FLAC from the cd but my audio checker says it is of MP3 origin.  Only the front and back of the booklet is provided as the insert is in Japanese.
