“Set Sail,” North Mississippi Allstars (New West Records)
It takes hard work to sound this relaxed.
The North Mississippi Allstars have mastered their métier and pin the meter on “Set Sail.” The 10 tunes from brothers Luther and Cody Dickinson and their casual collective are loose but tight, playful and joyful, high-flying but grounded in a groove.
Paul Cebar Tomorrow Sound, "Fine Rude Thing" (Groovesburg Joys)
Within the narrow confines of 1960s R&B, Paul Cebar throws a lot at the wall. And most of his shtick sticks.
"Fine Rude Thing" lives up to its title from the pickup to the first measure, with Cebar screaming something unintelligible before the baritone sax joins in.
