Influential albums in my life #6. These two make quite a pair. Legendary blues artists given the heavy drum / heavy psyche treatment on the sub label of the Legendary Chess imprint: Cadet Concept, a label set up by Leonard Chess’s son Marshall meant to bring a youth element to the roster. They started by experimenting with early Chess signings Muddy Waters and The Howlin’ Wolf before continuing on with The Rotary Connection and some psyche rock bands like The Status Quo known for their cut Pictures Of Matchstick Men.

Dorothy Ashby - "Soul Vibrations" b/w "Lonely Girl" (Cadet Concept cat. 5604) Very early on in my education of Soul, Funk, R&B, Jazz and Soul Jazz I discovered my my love of all things Checker, Cadet and Cadet Concept and anything Chess related. While working for the label Grooovy Sounds Unltd we were considered a comp based on the insane records scattered throughout the catalog. While compiling release information for each cut on, Grooovy Sounds Unltd. & Mr. Fine Wine Present Vital Organs Volume One I had several very lengthy and informative phone calls with Kenneth Higney. I had no idea who he was when I was talking to him. Ken’s experience licensing and packaging the Chess family of labels was invaluable to the release of our compilation. I learned more from him than all my research sources combined. One of our conversations surrounded around our love of Richard Evans and Charles Stepney. At the time my favorite track was Ray Bryant’s “Up Above The Rock,” but a close second was “Soul Vibrations.” Unfortunately the band is not credited on the LP or 45 but I do know Phil Upchurch is the guitarist. Considering Evans’ favored players we can only speculate on the band. The drums pound in a very similar way to the Soulful String sessions so I can assume it is Morris Jennings. There is a mood created between the Harp, guitar and strings that is very spiritual, similar to Alice Coltrane’s “Journey to Satchidananda,” Earth, Wind & Fire - “Bad Tune,” I love the addition of Harp and Kalimba to Funk, Soul and Soul Jazz. This is a stock copy with drill hole. Stock copies seem to be rare as hen’s teeth.
