RIBS TPTD: “This Christmas” - A Baker’s Dozen…
Filed under: A Bakers Dozen, Christmas, Holiday, R&B, RIBS, Triple Play Thurs-Day, Xmas, jazz, podcasts/mixes, soul
Alright, time for Round #2…
The second (of three) “Sounds of the Season” Xmas mixes we’re serving up for you here at Rhythms In Black Satin is called, “This Christmas” - A Baker’s Dozen.
This one is a little different, so let me explain what you will be listening to.
Last year someone asked me what my favorite Christmas song was and without hesitation (as I always do) I answered “Every Year, Every Christmas” by Luther. My second favorite though is the classic “Merry Christmas, Baby” originally done by Charles Brown. Like many of the classic Christmas tunes that have been around for years, there are many, many versions of this song from Blues to Rock and everything in between. Well, my curiosity got the better of me and I decided I would try to put together a mix of 13 (that’s where the “baker’s dozen” part of the title comes from) different versions of the song without it being so boring that you’d run from the room screaming! {smile} Surprisingly (or maybe not so surprisingly) it came out pretty good and a lot of folks really enjoyed it.
Well… since that turned out so well I thought I would go back and try it again with another Christmas favorite of mine. This time I chose Donny Hathaway’s 1970 classic “This Christmas” (number 3 on my personal list of all-time fav Xmas songs) as the subject of our baker’s dozen format.
OK, that’s the explanation. Now let’s get on with the music. It’s RIBS, baby! It’s Xmas RIBS! It’s…

RIBS Archives: Side Effect, Crusaders & Swing Out Sister…
Filed under: R&B, RIBS, Triple Play Thurs-Day, jazz, podcasts/mixes, soul
Time has been tight over here at the RIBS kitchen lately. So this week I thought I’d pull a mix out of the RIBS Archives and replay it for you. Back in November, 2007 we presented to you: Side Effect, The Crusaders and Swing Out Sister. If you were with me way back then, hopefully you’ll enjoy this one again. If you are relatively new to RIBS, then I think you are in for a real treat today…
Man I think we’ve got us a real good one this week!
While it’s always fun putting together a new mix, sometimes the vibe you get from the combination of music selections feels like something special. It’s one of those things that you can’t exactly explain or put your finger on… but it is definitely there. Today’s TPTD is one of those kinds of mixes. Overall, I’d characterize this one as having that “jazzy” feel to it, although I think you’ll find enough toe-tapping rhythms in this one that you’ll be hard pressed t keep still while it’s playing.
This week we present to you:
Side Effect: What do Sylvia Nabors, Helen Lowe, Sylvia St. James, Miki Howard and Elaine Gibbs have in common? They all have, at one time or another, been the lead singer with the group Side Effect. It seems like with every new release there was a new female member of the group (although I believe Sylvia St. James actually recorded on two consecutive albums for the group!). Even with all of the various leads, Side Effect always had, IMHO, just the right mix of soulful rhythms and jazz influences to produce a dynamic, enjoyable sound.
Most of our SE selections are from their What You Need album, their first release on the Fantasy Records label. Helen Lowe is the lead singer on this one. My first taste of the group was the fantastic vocal version of Ronnie Laws’ Always There. Man, just listen to Helen blow it out on that one. Even better though is the final SE track in the mix S.O.S. Wow! I have to admit even though I’ve had this album since it first came out, I completely overlooked this song until now. And speaking of covers, Side Effect’s version of Toto’s Georgy Porgy just had to be included. My second favorite SE song after Always There.
The Crusaders: Joe Sample, Stix Hooper, Wilton Felder and Wayne Henderson. Also known for a time (1961-1970) by the name The Jazz Crusaders, this group is legendary (IMHO). Their jazz-funk style that they adopted in the early 70s right around the time they shortened their name to just “The Crusaders”, produced some of my favorite jazz music that I remember from my college days. Street Life for example (released in 1979, sorry not in this mix; gotta wait for a Crusaders ‘double-triple’ for that one), is a classic that sounds just as good today as when it was first released.
For today’s mix though we have some of my other Crusaders favorites: their fantastic instrumental cover of Carol King’s So Far Away, the funky Put It Where you Want It and Chain Reaction, the beautiful It Happens Every Day and my favorite Crusaders cut, And Then There Was The Blues. You how there are just some songs you never get tired of hearing and you can listen to them over and over and over again? ATTWTB is that kind of song to me. I’m so familiar with it that I tried not to include in the mix. No, really. I really did. Oh well, guess I didn’t win that battle, eh? {smile}
Swing Out Sister: I just love Corinne Drewery’s singing voice. Can’t tell you exactly why, but I just love to listen to her sing. Are they Jazz? Are they Pop? Soul? R&B? Smooth Jazz? The actuality of it is that SOS combines elements of all these genres, plus some others. The other interesting aspect of the group is how time and again they tend to tinker with their production and arrangements, essentially reinventing themselves with each release of new material.
While I love their original hits, Breakout, Surrender and Twilight World, there just wasn’t room in the mix to include them (looks like there may have to be a special SOS ‘double-triple’ in the future also). I did manage to squeeze in Waiting Game, couldn’t have omitted that one! Swing Out Sister also has a knack for producing quality interpretations of other artists’ songs, imbuing them with a freshness that more than does justice to the original. Just check out their versions of Dusty Springfield’s Am I The Same Girl?, the Delfonics’ La La (Means I Love You) and the Fifth Dimensions’ Stoned Soul Picnic.

RIBS TPTD: Earth, Wind & Fire, parts 2 and 3…
Filed under: R&B, RIBS, Triple Play Thurs-Day, jazz, podcasts/mixes, soul
OK, whew! I’m finally finding a little bit of quiet/free time to get the new mixes posted here. Man, lemme tell ya… it really has been ONE OF THOSE weeks around here IRL. But hey, we all go through it every now and then. As I’m fond of telling people sometimes, “but just think of how much more interesting your autobiography is going to be after you get through this”. {smile} And, of course, the other thing I think about during trying times like I’m going through right now are the words from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. when he said:
“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”
And since I have always been one to give others the advice that “failure is not an option” I fully intend to measure up to the trials and tribulations at hand. OK, enough about all of that, I don’t need to burden you with my (when you look at the greater scheme of things) insignificant issues, you came here for some good music. Now on that I can stand and deliver with no problem at all whatsoever! (you know, I think I really need to work on this confidence problem I’ve been struggling with… {smile})
The “Elements of the Universe”, Earth, Wind & Fire! This is the group that is the main course being offered up from the RIBS kitchen this week. Today you have 2 EWF entrees to enjoy as I’m finally completing the 3-part Earth, Wind & Fire mix-a-thon I started last week for the Labor Day holiday weekend. In case you may have missed it EWF, part 1 can be found here.
Now if you’ve been following RIBS for a while you know I like to try to give you a slightly different take on the music when I do a mix dedicated to a single artist or group. My point of view is that anybody can take the popular hit songs from an artist that everybody is familiar with and put together a mix. That’s easy. What I try to do here on RIBS is give you some of the lesser known (but still extremely good) stuff by the artist or group that you might not be as familiar with and mix that in with some of the hits and/or personal favorite songs of mine by them. Additionally, if the artist has written for or produced for other acts I like to spotlight those also since things like that can often go overlooked by the public at large.
The Earth, Wind & Fire, part 2 mix is a perfect example of this philosophy. Except for the short opening intro cut, “Sing A Message To You”, all of the songs on EWF, part 2 are either interpretations (or covers if you prefer that term) of Earth, Wind & Fire songs by other artists or songs by artists that were produced by EWF (meaning founder and leader Maurice White, of course). I think you’ll really enjoy part 2 as it includes artists like Dwele doing his take on “That’s The Way Of The World”, Ledisi doing “Devotion” (simply beautiful IMHO), Kirk Franklin doing “September” and Chaka Khan’s version of “Shining Star” (as only Chaka can!) Additionally there are cuts by Deniece Williams (EWF produced her first two albums This Is Niecy and Song Bird), The Emotions (EWF revived their career in the mid-70s and produced their Flowers and Rejoice albums) and a solo effort from long time EWF member Philip Bailey called “I Know”.
The Earth, Wind & Fire, part 3 mix goes back to the group itself and explores some of their early work (for the most part) from the Last Days And Time, Head To The Sky and Open Our Eyes albums in addition to some favs of mine that you don’t hear much anymore. Oh, and I made sure to include a couple of instrumentals (“Power” and “Africano”) like a certain favorite RIBS fan requested/suggested {smile}.
They say the good stuff in life is worth waiting for, I hope that’s the case with these mixes. It’s music time ya’ll as we present to you…

RIBS TPTD: More Randy Crawford…
Filed under: R&B, RIBS, Triple Play Thurs-Day, jazz, podcasts/mixes, soul
Hey, welcome back, again. Another week (O.K., O.K., it’s actually been 2 weeks) and another edition of RIBS… a.k.a. “Rhythms In Black Satin”… a.k.a. “The Taste of Music to Satisfy Your Soul!” {smile}
Anyway… I have a confession to make, I’m suffering from an addiction. No, not THAT kind! (geez, what kind of a person do you think I am? On second thought, do me a favor, don’t answer that question {smile}) O.K. now, where was I… oh yeah, my confession. Yep, I have to confess I am hopelessly hooked/addicted/over the edge and I’m not exactly sure when it will end.
Actually, maybe some of you fine music lovers have suffered from the same thing I am currently experiencing. As a matter of fact, I’m sure you have. Alright, let me explain. You see sometimes when I’m futzing around in the RIBS kitchen having a good ol’ time mixing up this and mixing up that for the latest recipe, I get hooked on one of the ingredients. And even after the RIBS come out of the oven and are placed on the buffet table for the week, I still have a craving for one particular ingredient I used to make those RIBS with. I just can’t seem to get enough of it, no matter how much I consume.
This is what has been happening to me for the past couple of weeks. If you recall, two weeks ago I cooked up a very tasty batch of RIBS (IMHO) that featured Patrice Rushen, Stephanie Mills & Randy Crawford. Ever since then I’ve fallen in love with Randy Crawford all over again (just like I did when I first heard her on the Crusaders’ smash hit “Street Life” back in 1979!) It got so bad that while listening to the Patrice-Stephanie-Randy mix I found myself skipping over the Stephanie and Patrice cuts repeatedly to listen to the Randy Crawford songs in the mix. Oh boy!
Well, in an effort to cure myself of this addiction or, even better, to get you addicted also so you can “suffer” along with me {smile} this week I just had to cook up a complete mix with just Randy on it. Ahhhhhhh, I just love this woman’s voice and enjoy listening to her sing.
So… as Diana so eloquently put it, “If there’s a cure for this, I don’t want it!” Join me and let us “suffer” along together as I present to you…

RIBS TPTD: Patrice, Stephanie & Randy…
Filed under: R&B, RIBS, Triple Play Thurs-Day, jazz, podcasts/mixes, soul
Hey, welcome back to another edition of Rhythms In Black Satin… a.k.a. “RIBS”! Thank you for stopping by and letting me share some of my musical interests with you.
Life over at the RIBS kitchen has been a little… um, “interesting” (yeah, that’s a good word to use) lately. Not bad stuff mind you, but not entirely good stuff… just “interesting” stuff that has to be dealt with. I’m sure some of you out there know exactly what I mean, the rest of you, well, if you live long enough then you’ll know too. {smile}
Well, it’s been a while but today’s mix is in the traditional RIBS “Triple Play Thurs-Day” format… take three music artists, mix ‘em up, throw ‘em in the oven, bake on low to medium heat over several hours (basting often and liberally, of course) and when the timer goes off we have a nice, tender, tasty mix of RIBS! As we like to say ‘round here, it’s the “Taste of music, to satisfy your soul.”
Our ingredients today are three ladies that were hot back in the late 70’s and throughout most of the 80’s. Unfortunately, like a lot of our great soul music, you don’t here a lot about or from these three today. However, they are still with us and going strong and I thought I would take a look back at their body of work and bring it to your attention.
Our RIBS TPTD trio today is…
O.K., I’ve rambled enough, time to get to the music. Remember, when it comes to the RIBS… eat all you want, I’ll just make more! {smile}

RIBS TPTD: “Send Me An Angel”…
Filed under: R&B, R.I.P., RIBS, Triple Play Thurs-Day, jazz, podcasts/mixes, soul
Whew!
Man, oh man… what a wacky couple of weeks it has been. I mean, I’ve been around long enough to understand that the world is crazy place, no surprise there. But the past couple weeks it seems like the crazy has been on overdrive. We’ve lost so many good people and in such rapid succession, it’s like nothing I’ve can ever remember experiencing before in my lifetime.
Recently we lost:
Koko Taylor (blues singer)
David Carradine (actor [Kung Fu, Kill Bill])
Ed McMahon (TV show host [Star Search] and announcer [The Tonight Show])
Farrah Fawcett (actress [Charlie’s Angels]))
Michael Jackson (singer [Jackson 5/The Jacksons/solo])
Fayette Pinkney (singer [The Three Degrees])
Billy Mays (TV pitchman)
Karl Malden (actor [The Streets of San Francisco])
and on Saturday July 4, 2009 while enjoying the holiday weekend word came down that Steve McNair former NFL quarterback with the Tennessee Titans was found shot to death in an apparent murder/suicide (at least that’s the early word being released at the time of writing this early in the morning on Sunday July 5th)
My prayers go out to the friends, fans and family of all of the above.
{sigh} So… at this time I figured we all could use a break. I figured we all could use some help to try and get us through these difficult days. Sometimes you just can’t (or shouldn’t) handle things all by yourself. It’s at times like this that maybe, just maybe we should turn our thoughts to the sky and ask the Almighty to please…

RIBS TPTD: ‘Sax Appeal’ 5 – Great Sax 2…
Filed under: R&B, RIBS, Sax Appeal, Triple Play Thurs-Day, jazz, podcasts/mixes, soul
Wow, here we are at the end of April already. This month sure went fast. Well, that means that today the RIBS kitchen is serving up the last of it’s ‘Sax Appeal’ entrees that we’ve been cooking up all month long. We hope that you have enjoyed this look at the many different players of this instrument both past and present.
Since most of the sax-a-teers we’ve heard from this month have been culled from the 50s, 60s and 70s, I thought this time around I’d feature some of the "newer" sax players on the scene today. That means that today’s mix will feature:
Eric Marienthal
George Howard
Dave Koz
Kirk Whalum
Kim Waters
Najee
Pamela Williams
Euge Groove
Richard Elliot
Kenny G
Ronnie Laws
Maceo Parker
I have to admit, I’ve really enjoyed focusing on a particular instrument like this and exploring the various artists who play it. I think there will be more explorations like this in the months ahead here on RIBS.
OK! Another round of "great sax" for ya to close out ‘Sax Appeal’ month as we present to you…
