Poco, Live At Columbia Studios Hollywood 9/30/71
Just released in The States (on Collector’s Choice label), a live CD from the band Poco, Live At Columbia Studios Hollywood 9/30/71.
Poco first made their reputation as a live act—it’s no accident that their 1971 live album, Deliverin’, was the band’s biggest seller until 1978’s ‘Legend’.
The discovery of this crystal-clear recording from 1971, then, is cause for rejoicing for Poco fans; it was actually recorded a year later than ‘Deliverin” was, with the high-flying line-up of Richie Furay,Timothy B. Schmit, George Grantham, Rusty Young and (making his first live appearance with the band) Paul Cotton, and boasts a set list that departs significantly from the one on the previous live album.
Live At Columbia Studios Hollywood 9/30/71 includes ‘Introduction—I Guess You Made It; A Man Like Me; Ol’ Forgiver; Hear That Music; Hurry Up; You Are the One; Bad Weather; Medley: Hard Luck/Child’s Claim to Fame/Pickin’ up the Pieces; Hoedown; What a Day; Railroad Days; What If I Should Say I Love You; Just for You and Me’, and C’Mon’. One hour of great country rock… 16 tunes!
The VOCAL SOUND OF JAZZ began airing on 89.5 FM (now WHRV-FM) on January 4th 1980. Originally a 30 minute program that aired on Friday evenings, the program expanded to it current 60 minute format and moved to Saturday evenings during the 90s. It was also aired over WUOM in Ann Arbor, Michigan for a five-year period in the late 1980s.
Produced and hosted by Jack Frieden since its premiere broadcast, the program has always attempted to spotlight both jazz vocal music’s post 1950s history, as well as the new singers and songs that will continue to play an increasingly prominent role in the music’s future. With the internet’s ability to attract and entertain jazz vocal fans globally, Jack looks forward to broadening the mission and reach of the “Vocal Sound of Jazz” in coming years.
