What vintage car has a long low nose starting with the letters Sp possibly?
Saw a cream colored (which I assumed to be vintage) car yesterday. I stalked it for about 10 miles before it turned off. It was so sunny I couldn’t really read the back with the model name (due to it being written in silver), but it looked like Spector or Special – something beginning with “Sp” possibly, and with a roman numeral 2 after, as in “II”. This car was so unusual looking – sort of like a bat mobile with a long long low hood. Another unsual characteristic was the placement of the spare tire. It was mounted in front of the cab on the driver’s side. Can anyone tell me what I saw?
Could it have said Spyder?

American Folk Blues Festivals 1963-1966: The British Tours [DVD] $15.99 Like the previous three volumes of this superb series, American Folk Blues Festivals 1963-1966: The British Tours presents about 75 minutes of mid-’60s European television performances by blues legends. The only real difference is that all of these were filmed in England (hence the subtitle “The British Tours 1963-1966″), where appreciation of the blues was really taking off and, of course, making a big impression on the U.K. pop scene via artists like the Rolling Stones and Eric Clapton. While the word “legends” is thrown around a lot in reviewing vintage blues compilations, this is one instance where it’s not overhyping the case. Every single performer here is legendary. Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, and Sonny Boy Williamson were Chicago blues giants,; the more rural and rawer side of the form is caught by Lightnin’ Hopkins and Big Joe Williams; R&B is represented by Big Joe Turner, and soul by Sugar Pie DeSanto; and the blues’ roots in jazz and gospel are captured by Lonnie Johnson and Sister Rosetta Tharpe respectively. Every single performer here is caught, in well-preserved black-and-white footage, at or near the peak of his or her form, sometimes with some of their very most famous songs, whether it’s Waters doing “Got My Mojo Working,” Williams playing “Baby Please Don’t Go,” or Williamson singing “Bye Bye Bird.” That’s not even mentioning the top talents that can be seen as accompanists at various points, including bassist Willie Dixon, guitarists Hubert Sumlin and Otis Rush, and pianists Sunnyland Slim and Otis Spann. As for the most unusual and colorful performances, perhaps Williamson wins on that account — though not by much — by playing one end of a harmonica without holding it, as if he’s chewing a cigar. Also novel is Junior Wells’ 1966 performance of Ray Charles’ “What’d I Say,” delivered (and danced through) in modified James Brown fashion; it might not be the song you most associate with classic blues (or even Wells’ blues), but it’… |

Gershwin for Lovers $11.98 This trio date (which features pianist Marcus Roberts, bassist Reginald Veal and drummer Herlin Riley) is a bit unusual in that Roberts, although he is heard interpreting vintage George Gershwin songs, gives the tunes fairly modern interpretations. There is no striding or James P. Johnson licks. Instead, the talented pianist transforms such songs as “A Foggy Day,” “Our Love Is Here to Stay,” “It Ain’t Necessarily So” and “But Not for Me” into modern hard bop. A typically excellent effort. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi |

USED: American Folk Blues Festivals 1963-1966: The British Tours [DVD] $10.99 Like the previous three volumes of this superb series, American Folk Blues Festivals 1963-1966: The British Tours presents about 75 minutes of mid-’60s European television performances by blues legends. The only real difference is that all of these were filmed in England (hence the subtitle “The British Tours 1963-1966″), where appreciation of the blues was really taking off and, of course, making a big impression on the U.K. pop scene via artists like the Rolling Stones and Eric Clapton. While the word “legends” is thrown around a lot in reviewing vintage blues compilations, this is one instance where it’s not overhyping the case. Every single performer here is legendary. Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, and Sonny Boy Williamson were Chicago blues giants,; the more rural and rawer side of the form is caught by Lightnin’ Hopkins and Big Joe Williams; R&B is represented by Big Joe Turner, and soul by Sugar Pie DeSanto; and the blues’ roots in jazz and gospel are captured by Lonnie Johnson and Sister Rosetta Tharpe respectively. Every single performer here is caught, in well-preserved black-and-white footage, at or near the peak of his or her form, sometimes with some of their very most famous songs, whether it’s Waters doing “Got My Mojo Working,” Williams playing “Baby Please Don’t Go,” or Williamson singing “Bye Bye Bird.” That’s not even mentioning the top talents that can be seen as accompanists at various points, including bassist Willie Dixon, guitarists Hubert Sumlin and Otis Rush, and pianists Sunnyland Slim and Otis Spann. As for the most unusual and colorful performances, perhaps Williamson wins on that account — though not by much — by playing one end of a harmonica without holding it, as if he’s chewing a cigar. Also novel is Junior Wells’ 1966 performance of Ray Charles’ “What’d I Say,” delivered (and danced through) in modified James Brown fashion; it might not be the song you most associate with classic blues (or even Wells’ blues), but it’… |

USED: IN WITH THE OUT CROWD 898 $4.99 Though Grant Geissman achieved his greatest genre success focusing on acoustic guitar and its synergy with the sax, he’s also never backed down from great challenges that took his fingers elsewhere. His 1993 classic Rustic Technology was a stylistic departure featuring violin and all acoustic instruments, and his Higher Octave jazz debut In With the Out Crowd (which draws stylistically from the era of Ramsey Lewis’ ’60s funk-jazz heyday) mixes his gutsy electric edge with raw hip-hop and acid jazz production, hypnotic Crusaders-styled keyboard riffs (with Tim Heintz approximating Joe Sample’s Fender Rhodes style), mandolin, steel string and even unusual spiritual touches like chanting and a rolling sitar melody on the mystical, moody “Lost, but Found.” For the first time, Geissman also goes sample happy, mixing in alternating koto and muted trumpet riffs above the urban shuffle and universalist chant on “World as One.” Clair Marlo also peppers laid-back pieces like “Heartbeat” with a soothing scat-style which balances Geissman’s tendency to improvise off his top-notch melodies. Those longing throughout all these unique departures for vintage smooth jazz-Geissman are rewarded with the lively, Acoustic Alchemy-like cruise “Highway 60’s Revisited” (which alternates steel string and classical guitar) and “Life…And Stuff,” the theme from a short-lived Pam Dawber TV series which draws guitar inspiration from the Byrds and symphonic production ideas from the Beatles. Safe to say that Geissman is one of smooth jazz’s leading time-travel navigators. ~ Jonathan Widran, All Music Guide |

USED: RAGTIME 0494 $6.99 This LP is actually split between William Bolcom playing five Scott Joplin rags and William Albright performing five James P. Johnson songs. The two solo pianists show that they know their material very well. The Joplin pieces are a bit unusual, for two were originally collaborations with Arthur Marshall while the remaining three were co-written by Joplin and Scott Hayden. These numbers include “Swipesy Cake Walk,” “Sunflower Slow Drag,” and “Something Doing.” The Albright portion of the album has such piano solos as “Mule Walk Stomp,” “Eccentricity Syncopated Waltz,” and the old showpiece “Carolina Shout.” This is classic music that is played with respect and an understanding of the vintage styles. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |
