Recorded for a television program of the same name back in 1983, In Session bills itself as the only known recording of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Albert King, who was Vaughan's idol and mentor, playing together. That leads to some heavy expectations, which fortunately aren't disappointed, at least if you aren't expecting the customary over-the-top performances Vaughan was famous for. His playing here is much more laid-back and controlled, which is actually a recommendation--the stylistic similarities between teacher and student are that much more pronounced. The songs are mostly King concert staples, with the exception of "Pride and Joy"; highlights include the T-Bone Walker classic "Call It Stormy Monday" and one of King's own, "Overall Junction," which features some excellent guitar solo work. The snippets of recorded conversation between songs are interesting curiosities as well. --Genevieve Williams

Album Description

The recent death of Boots Randolph reminded me of how much I love saxaphone albums, particularly Boots and Ace Cannon, but for some reason I had no CDs of either musician. When I received the albums I ordered, I expected to prefer Boots to Ace but it's just the reverse. "The Best of Ace Cannon" is fabulous - my current favorite CD by far.

I enjoy sax music, this album is excellent for listening, dancing, or background music. The sound is very good, and I would recommend it highly. The cost of the CD is well worth the money. I would be happy to pay more if it had more of the same type of tunes on the album.

5 out of 5 stars Blues that cut like a chainsaw.......2006-12-16

While Albert King never rose to the massive popularity of Stevie Ray Vaughan, as far as blues players go though, he was one of the more familiar to rock fans, thanks to his work being covered by Clapton and Hendrix ("Born Under A Bad Sign").
No modern guitarist was more influenced by King than Stevie Ray Vaughan, whose admiration and praise allowed him to share the stage in a Hamilton, Ontario TV studio right around the time of the release of Vaughan's "Texas Flood". This summit was long overdue, and is absolutely critical for Vaughan and King fans.
Mind you, there are many rehashes, repackagings and other posthumous releases of SRV, most of which are unforgivable, offering nothing new, only capitalizing on the myth and making a fortune off his memory.
"In Session", however, like "The Sky Is Crying", is one CD that does offer a fresh look at both masters.
King is still the star of this show, and his band provides the powerful backing music as the two titans trade off solo after solo, each careful to not overplay, but not hide behind their amps, either.
Vaughan sounds a lot like King, showing us the bedrock of his style. He was a little flashier, and could control feedback ala Hendrix, but when all is said and done, SRV was the best white blues player period. Brit players like Clapton and Page pale in comparison.
Prime cuts include "Pride And Joy" as handled by King's band, and it thumps and grinds mightily. "Overall Junction" is a King jam and indeed it does. Perhaps the best is "Matchbox Blues", with an absolutely wicked swing beat that allows both guitarists to soar, reaching blues nirvana over and over.
SRV fans will delight in this CD when he was probably at his greatest, and will come away King fans as well, after finding out who got this party started in the first place.

5 out of 5 stars Wish I Could Have Been There.......2006-05-27

Albert King and SRV appeared on the Canadian TV show 'In Session' and the result was incredible. The music itself is really good, with two great musicians playing the tunes they loved. But it's the dialogue between Albert and SRV that puts this over the top.

Albert's story about Stevie sitting in with him about 10 years earlier when he was just a skinny kid in Austin was amazing. And while SRV was coming into his own at the time of the session, he was still paying a lot of respect to Albert. There was this aspect of passing the baton from one generation of blues players to another about this session.

Finally if the combination of 'Who Is Stevie' and 'Pride & Joy' doesn't have you smilin' and hummin' along - then you just don't like the blues.

You can't go wrong with this CD. In addition to the good music the recording is also pretty realistic. I keep wondering what it would have been like to be in the studio when this session was recorded...

5 out of 5 stars A Jam Session Well Worth Listening To..........2006-02-15

Albert King was always overshadowed by BB King and thus never received the credit he deserved for the way he shaped how the electric guitar is played. This is true not only in the blues but indeed in all styles of music. Modern guitar players who look back with a sense of fondness for players such as Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Paul Kossof, etc. would do well to consider the man who so strongly influenced their playing as well as countless others. (Including bluesmen Otis Rush and Albert Collins: already distinctive stylists in their own right.) And perhaps no other guitar player was as influenced by Albert King as the young Texan Stevie Ray Vaughan.

To say that Stevie Ray Vaughan idolized Albert King would not be inaccurate nor would saying that Stevie's style was about 80% influenced by the mammoth Mississippi bluesman. On this album, the songs are mainly from King's repertoire but in many cases Stevie had been weaned on them and practiced them in his formative years so there was not much in the way of adjustment for him here generally speaking.

It starts with "Stormy Monday" which King begins with some of his signature mournful phrasing while Vaughan utilizes a tasteful countermelody in return. Albert's comments as the song was starting off indicate that they have played the song together before and the smooth way they played off one another would seem to verify that. From there a bit of dialogue takes place where they reminisce about old times and at Albert's request, Stevie kicks off "Pride and Joy." From there they moved into "Ask Me No Questions." Unlike the previous song where it was King who had to adapt to a new song, this time it was Vaughan and he does so quite well with tasteful vibrato fills and taking the first solo at King's request. They then dialogue a bit more with Albert asking Stevie to never settle but instead to always strive to work and play better.

At that point, Albert kicks off "Blues at Sunrise" and anyone who doubts that a fifteen minute blues song with a shuffle beat can be kept interesting for fifteen minutes needs to hear these two play off of each other as they do here.

From there, it moves (after some dialogue) into the instrumental "Overall Junction" which has a strident pacing to it. Vaughan starts it off and gets his bits in certainly -based on much of what he plays his familiarity with the original tune (as recorded by King in 1966) is evident to this listener. And King shows on the song for those who would question it that he can move around the fretboard nimbly...a feature he usually saved for instrumentals but not always. They then move pretty quickly into "Matchbox Blues" a longtime King concert staple. Stevie's playing in the song is a homage to Albert and he certainly could authentically approach the latter's style better than arguably anyone else. There is then another dialogual interlude prior to the last song "Don't Lie to Me", a song Stevie would recognize as "I Get Evil." Again the dueling is entertaining when Vaughan goes into the lower registers and Albert encourages him further in the process. That concludes the album but not this review.

The essence of blues playing requires soul and you cannot manufacture it by wanking speed riffs on a fretboard. (I note that here for those who think "better blues playing" means faster playing: that is not necessarily so.) Albert King was a master of the blues and Stevie Ray Vaughan was his most loyal disciple. Indeed, I believe Stevie is the only one who could so flagrantly use King's own signature riffs in his playing without the master himself taking offense. And when you consider that Albert did not take such things lightly --because he developed a unique style and by his reckoning owned it-that is no mean achievement.

Clearly on this album King had in mind to some extent a passing of the torch to Vaughan at one point in the recording because he plainly says so after they finished playing "Blues at Sunrise." Stevie laughs and says he does not believe it but the sentiments sounds convincing enough even if King was to continue playing live after Vaughan's passing in 1990 at the tender age of 35. (The former retired and made comebacks in the same fashion as Frank Sinatra: at least in King's case, he retained his form all the way to the end with minimal if any diminishment.) As far as Vaughan's death goes, King would recount in a 1991 interview published before his own passing that Stevie's loss hurt him deeply and if you listen to the way they interact musically and otherwise on this album, it makes sense. What started out as a young boy and his idol grew into a situation where they were contemporaries and there was a genuine affection between them. Albert seemed to view Stevie as his son in the blues and no father wants to see his son go before him. May they both rest in peace and may this recording stand as a testament to them.

4 out of 5 stars Growly Sax & The Bump and Grind.......2005-12-27

Ace Cannon was -- and still is (see acecannon.com) -- the godfather of the saxophone. His funky, gritty style of honking influenced not only generations of similar saxophone stylists but also arguably the whole seamy side of rock 'n roll -- everyone from Questionmark & The Mysterians to George Thorogood (i.e. the anti-Debby Boone orientation).

This compilation sounds a little too clean & stereo (one wonders if it's all re-recordings like the similar Bill Black Combo comp on Hi) but it's still a good budget-priced introduction to a living legend.

3 out of 5 stars I like it...........2004-11-29

....it's a good straight-ahead tenor sax CD. Well notated and pretty good overview of Ace Cannon's career. I like the way he plays melody. Critics have called this "red-neck jazz". I disagree - I listen to it all the time. Love that Memphis - Hi Records sound!

this was the first really exposure that i had with him and his touch on the saxophone with most all of the songs that were among my favorites. his touch,beat and arrangement were all suberb and turned me solidly into one of his fans.
I had heard some of his tunes on the radio and knew of him but had never really listened to his talent and touch.
Thus now I'm going to be on the look out for more of his music as I can sit back and relax to his playing the top tunes of yesterday.

4 out of 5 stars something new.......2006-05-21

Well I must say....the cover art is the reason I bought the album. It looked pretty different to be in the Gospel section at Walmart. I was taken away by the cool blues and warm browns.

Great artwork... now on to the CD

the first three tracks and the last four I can say are good enough to play in a church/worship setting. The other tracks sound borderline "worldly". Don't get it twisted, I am a true music lover and walking chrisitan but If its going to have the title of Gospel..im going to expect to hear about alot of Christ and the worship of him. There is alot of mention of God but I feel that a borderline way to get into the Gospel Industry. If I want to listen to worldly music...im going to go all the way with it. I dont wanna hear tracks that say they are Gospel but sound very border-line.

tracks 1,2 and the last four make me give this project 5 starts. The sound is fresh. Nice for playing in your car on the way home from work or on the weekend or even in the even in the weekend when you're winding down. Shoot...this is a good cd to rock in a freshly washed and detailed car with the sun roof gaurd open and the cool AC blowin' (its all about atmosphere) :)

The fact that he plays acoustic guitar is nice. The last three tracks sound Isreal and New Breed-ish. But Leon puts his own spin on the acoustic guitar sound. Making it his own. I would recomend this to a New Christian who is in transition from their former selves into the new self. and or a Christian who is a music conisuer looking for something different to listen too (but firm enough in the christian walk not to go back into listening to whatever)

4 out of 5 stars Smooth As Ever.......2006-12-12

Love Session is the follow up to the classic Silk alabum Tonight. The group's five part harmony is as strong as it ever was and there are plenty of baby making slow jams on the CD. Fom the opening Love Session intelurde to the first single We're Callin You, Silk delivers the goods. Nursey Rhymes has a melodatic rhythm to it while the group does Smokey Robinson & Rick James justice on it's cover of Ebony Eyes.

3 out of 5 stars Silk - Love Session.......2004-06-26

This album isn't their best. Producers Link and Delite handle most of the songs and some of them sound like their other produced hits ("I Didn't Mean To" sounds like Gerald Levert's "Nothin to Somethin", with the "Bennie and the Jets" piano riff and all). The good news, though, is that this time, all five members get ample time to sing instead of just Lil' G and Jon-Jon. The only really good songs are "I'm Sorry" (which could have used some more original lyrics), "Nursery Rhymes" and the remake of "Ebony Eyes". Actually, that version outdoes the Smokey Robinson/Rick James original! Unfortunately, Silk got dropped from their label because this album went wood and Lil' G went solo. Their new album, Silktime, is not worth checking at all so if you want some vintage Silk, their Best of Silk compilation should satisfy you instead.

5 out of 5 stars LOVE MUSIC AT IT'S BEST.......2003-11-10

This cd is absolutely great. Pretty much every track on the CD is good...I noticed some of the other reviews praised the songs but for some reason said that "Nursery Rhymes" was not so great...I felt that song was very very good, they found a way 2 make otherwise corny child songs sound Sexy and Lucious and perfect for 1 on 1 time with your lady. If you are a true R&B fan you WILL purchase this CD its a perfect investment.

5 out of 5 stars i'm sorry is the best song.......2003-10-11

one song everybody seems to overlook is the phenomenal "i'm sorry". this by far is the best and most beautiful song silk have ever done. this song alone is worth the price of the cd. it will make a grown man cry.

this album is excellent. the highlights are "i didn't mean to," "i'm sorry," "ebony eyes", "treated like a lady," "don't go" and the intro "welcome 2 the love session". "nursery rhymes" is cool.

one thing about this album which makes it stand out from the other silk albums is how the harmonies have been taken to the next level. they always had fantastic harmonies on every album...but on this one there are walls of sound and walls of voices! in this sense love session is the best album silk have done!

what can i say...silk are the best. if you are an r n b fan get all their albums...especially "tonight" from 1999. you need this one though because "i'm sorry" is the best song ever!

5 out of 5 stars silk got it on lock fo sho!.......2003-09-25

i think that anyone who is tryin to get their loved on in any kind of a sensual mood the albums by silk will do the job. silk i think is the best r&b group out there and i think that it is sad that they dont get the charms like any of the other r&b singers do because they are better. i love their music. i go to sleep to it every night and i own all of thier albums and i think if u have any doubt in their music then u need to give it a try and check it out. u will be extreamly impressed!!!

    5 out of 5 stars Unbelievable.......2004-10-10

    I was a raver back in the day and had the honor of seeing Scott Henry every Friday night at Capitol Ballroom in D.C. I bought this cd in '96 when it was first released and was absolutely thrilled with it. I loved and knew every song on it. Listening to the cd now, takes me back to those great times of dancing the night away. I was heartbroken when my cd became too scratched to play, but thank god, I have found it again. For thoses of you who were around in the mid-90's, I also recommend Tetsuo's cd Music From the Techno Club (box set). You should know most of the songs because Scott Henry and others used to spin many of them. Amazon.com also has that cd.
    Smile was the first true techno cd I ever owned and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great mix and outstanding song selection.

    5 out of 5 stars One of the best -ALL TIME!!!.......2004-01-13

    This CD seriously ROCKS!!! It's by far one of the best examples of early techno. Scott Henry rips the tables up on this CD.

    5 out of 5 stars Truly amazing!!!!.......2003-07-28

    This is one of the greatest commercially produced techno mixes of all time. I've owned this CD three separate occassions as it has been taken or given (and never returned)... DJ Scott Henry has had other mixes out, but they pale in comparison. This is good old school rave music... The kind of stuff that makes you wanna strap on your backpack, put on your most comfy kicks, and dance your tail off in a sweaty warehouse until the morning comes... If you partied back when these tracks were produced, you will be reminiscent... If not, take notes, this is a history lesson worth listening to.

    5 out of 5 stars beautiful trancey goodness.......2003-01-31

    i love this cd. my friend has bought this cd three times. once because she lost it, another time because she broke up with a boyfriend and he took it with him, and the third time because she was at a party and ended up giving it to someone in an e'd out stupor of love. "you are so nice, you neeeeed this. this is for you. you will appreciate it." she did the same thing with a few cheap novelty watches and a poetry book, but the point is, everyone who has heard it has loved it. its not monotonous. it moves you. its good. get it.

    5 out of 5 stars Awesome Buy!.......2000-10-20

    You must get this cd!! This is one of my favorite cd's of all time. This is a must have. This cd is up lifting and makes me long for a rave.
