Music reviews of Deacon John's Jump BluesMusic Review: Deacon John's New Orleans R&B Tribute Jumps All Day Long
Deacon John Moore is a veteran of the New Orleans music scene including a period when he was one of the regulars in the studio band at the legendary Cosimo's studio. More recently he has worked as a guitarist, vocalist and bandleader. A few years back, there was cd of him performing live at JazzFest doing fiery renditions of songs associated with B.B. King, Elmore James and others. He has a new recording, "Deacon John's Jump Blues, Music From the Film" (Vetter Communications)? that is also accompanied by a dvd of a live concert and a documentary film. This project has him perform a number of classic numbers with the assistance of pianists Davell Crawford, Dr. John, Henry Butler and Allen Toussaint, bassists Chris Severin and Deacon John's brother Charles Moore, drummers Herlin Riley and Shannon Powell, saxophonist Amadee Castanell and legendary arranger Wardell Querzegue. There are featured spots for the Zion Harmonizers and vocalist Teedy Boutté. From the opening notes of Ray Charles' aptly named "Jumpin' in the Morning," where Deacon John's ebullient vocal captures the sound of the classic fifties' Genius to the closing solo piano feature for Davell Crawford, "Nobody Knows You When Your Down and Out" (which Deacon John sings strongly on the second track)? this is a joyous celebration of the New Orleans musica. Deacon John's spirited covers of The Spiders "I Didn't Want to Do It", Smiley Lewis' Someday and a medley of "Hook Line and Slinker" with "Go On Fool," and Jimmy Liggins' "Going Back to New Orleans" are sung with conviction and joy. Even more impressive is his tribute to Johnny Adams, singing the Tan Canary's "A Losing Battle" (written by Dr. John)?. With Teedy Boutté he does a medley of Shirley and Lee songs ("Let the Good Times Roll" and "Feel So Good")? and then she does a marvelous rendition of "Piece of My Heart" based on the classic original Erma Franklin recording. The Zion Harmonizers contribute a stirring "Jesus is on the Main Line" and Dr. John does a lovely solo rendition of "Tipitina." This music is wonderful as Querzegue has produced wonderful arrangements for this session, the studio bands are terrific with special kudos directed at the rhythm sections and the vocalists show their love for the music with these performances. The only possible quibble might be the relatively short playing time but I have repeatedly listened to this since I bought it.
