King of Cool.......2007-05-12

Isaac Hayes...what can ya say, "Barry White" didn't even come close... other than steal this mans whole act. This show is fantastic, my only regret is that it's not on DVD.

The epitome of early 70's progressive R&B/soul.......2006-09-06

I pulled this set out for the first time in a while and it has lost NOTHING with the passage of time.

I remember I was fascinated with this grown folks' music back when I was 3 years old (when it was released!) and it still sounds good.

If you want to know why so many artists sample Black Moses' music ... if you want to know where Barry White and countless others around the world "went to school" for their funk/lounge/disco/R&B/soul/jazz musical ideas and film/TV scores ... if you want to know why Isaac has been so revered for his countless talents, this would probably be the best place to start.

Just one example: Isaac's take on Carole King's It's Too Late proves he's a genius. The way he weaves in musical elements of Spooky and We've Only Just Begun is amazing ... and when you consider the irony of the lyrical subject matter with those songs being mixed with It's Too Late ... man, this brotha is deep. (Literally, considering some of those low bass notes he works with.) He is a musician beyond compare and bonds vocally with the tunes like only a musician can. And his sense of humor is second to none, lol.

LIVE AT THE SAHARA TAHOE is truly the epitome of everything that was fantastic about soul music from the early 70's. An indispensable work from one of the world's greatest musical talents.

Get On Down!!....Isaac.......2006-08-05

About 33 years ago on a special night at the Sahara Tahoe.A man is standing in front of a vibraphone and as he begins to play the instrument.A female voice from the audience calls out 'Get On Down!!..Isaac'.The man is Isaac Hayes the Black Moses of soul himself.And the song he is about to play is Ellie's Love Theme.The years 1968 thur 1973 were good years for Isaac Hayes recording on the Enterprise label.During that time he came out with the ciassic soul albums Hot Buttered Soul,To Be Continued,The Isaac Hayes Movement and Shaft.Making him a superstar.And bringing us to Isaac Hayes 'Live At The Sahara Tahoe' this was not only a show it was a event.Hayes gives us a perfect bringing together of r&b,rap,smooth jazz,blues and some comedy.Along with songs by Bacharach and David,Bill Withers and original songs by Hayes himself.The highlights of the album to me is a new version of Ellie's Love Theme,Theme From The Men'(Hayes only tv score),the down home blues feeling of Rock Me Baby and Stormy Monday Blues,Type Thang(I think this tune came from the second Shaft movie) and a new version of the Bill Withers classic 'Ain't No Sunshine'.On this tune Isaac Hayes picks up the alto sax and turns the song into a entertainment masterpiece.This is one show the audience seems to really enjoy.The only downside of this album to me is the songs left off like By The Time I Get To Phoenix,Walk On By and I Stand Accused.But I still think this is one of Isaac Hayes best albums.I only wish this show was on DVD.

Awesome piece of history............2005-08-04

Until seeing THE EAGLES in concert in 2003, this was the greatest concert I had ever attended. In between 1973 and
2003 there have been hundreds of concerts that took my money
but never entertained me more than Black Moses himself. You
can feel the electricity of audience, even though it is in
the Sahara Hotel, and not in an arena of 12,000. The music and
rap is very tight and great. I am happy to see this on CD.. I wore out the double LP set..

Phenomenal--the best!.......2005-04-17

This is one of my favorite albums. It is electric. A must have!

One of Conniff's best live tour albums!.......2002-03-16

This album was recorded in 1969 at the Sahara Tahoe hotel in Lake Tahoe, Nevada. It was released when Conniff was at the peak of his popularity and is probably the best selling of his live tour albums.

The repertoire varies from Conniff's old instrumental hits such as Smoke Gets In Your Eyes and On The Street Where You Live to contemporary songs of that period including Love Me Tonight, Honey, and Mrs. Robinson, performed by the Conniff Singers.

Unfortunately, the CD reissue does not include the original credits and liner notes. The listener may not be aware of some of the big name musicians Conniff had in his orchestra, such as Johnny Guarnieri on piano (from Artie Shaw/Benny Goodman bands), Panama Francis on drums (Cab Calloway), Skeets Herfurt on clarinet (Dorsey Brothers Orchestra), and Johnny Best on trumpet (Glenn Miller Orchestra). Conniff himself was an arranger and trombonist for Bunny Berigan, Bob Crosby, and Artie Shaw among others.

Conniff was never afraid to share the limelight with the musicians and singers. Several solos are performed on this set but perhaps the best is when Ray gathers the above mentioned musicians to perform authentic Dixieland favorites: Muskrat Ramble and South Rampart Street Parade.

The CD packaging is missing most of the photos from the original Lp set. However, it does include a well written article by Ray's daughter Tamara which discusses Ray's entire career from first learning how to play the trombone through the present day.
