Vocalist Jewel Brown has had a career spanning over 65 years that has included stints with the likes of Lionel Hampton, Earl Grant, Louis Armstrong, Arnett Cobb and Dizzy Gillespie and veteran guitarist Milton Hopkins. This set, recorded in Japan last year, shows that her voice has lost none of its range or suppleness, and her spirit remains strong she attacks everything with the gusto of a hot-blooded chanteuse in her prime, and she has the chops to pull it off. As she told Living Blues' Roger Wood, "I don't do gimmicks ... I give it all my soul".

Not many 78-year-olds could tackle material like the antic torch song That's a Pretty Good Love; the hot-to-trot soul sister's anthem One Monkey Don't Stop No Show; the jubilant wronged-woman's declaration of triumph Goody Goody or the lushly romantic Don't Go to Strangers and sound convincing, but Ms. Brown does. Her timbre is supple, clear and astonishingly youthful; her melodic and rhythmic sense are unerring yet loose enough to allow her to embellish her lines with subtle but eloquent improvisational colorations. This is no retro-chic 'swing-revivalist' outing but an in-the-moment celebration of timeless music, delivered with the self-confident brio of a veteran both savvy and ebullient, life-toughened yet exuding the kind of soul nourishing joy that cannot be faked.

The band comport themselves with a balanced combination of hard-swinging earnestness and gonzo-fueled R&B anarchy, most notably tenor man Koda 'Young Corn' Shintaro's bar-walking sax honks and trombonist Coh's joyfully irreverent tailgate blats. And speaking of irreverence, Jewel Brown has the last word with her remake of Ain't Nobody's Business, in which she finally redeems the song's notorious references to domestic violence by changing the protagonist into the singer herself. It's a perfect sign-off by Ms. Brown, for whom the blues remains a celebration of strength, dignity and survival which is to say, life. /David Whiteis, Living Blues Magazine

Bloodest Saxophone is a horn driven R n’ B band, from Tokyo Japan. They were formed in 1998 by Koda Shintaro, who formed the band “to rule the world with the saxophone”. They have played with the great sax icon Big Jay McNeely and also with vocalist Jewel Brown. They have eleven previous recordings.

The six piece band is a Japanese version of Roomful of Blues. The band includes Koda “Young Corn” Shintaro, tenor sax; Coh “Colonel Sanders”, trombone; Osikawa Yukimasa, baritone sax; Shuji “Apple Juice”, guitar; The Takeo “Little Tokyo”, upright bass; and Kiminon “Dog Boy”, drums and congas. Don’t you love those nick names. Nick Connolly (who has played with Gary Primich, Long John Hunter, W.C. Clark, R.J. Mischo and Omar Dykes among others) is added on piano and organ. The album was conceived and produced by Dialtone Record’s Eddie Stout and recorded at the Wire Recording Studio in Austin, Texas. The idea was to record the retro band with some big Texas voices; so they named the album “Texas Queens 5”.
