THE RONNIE KOLE TRIO Crucial New Orleans SMALL COMBO LOUNGE FUNK Paula 2209 '70

Description: THE RONNIE KOLE TRIO – “NEW ORLEANS… TODAY” LP. PAULA RECORDS LPS-2209 / STEREO / FIRST PRESSING / RELEASED IN 1970. PERSONNEL: RONNIE KOLE (PIANO), RICHARD TAYLOR (PERCUSSION), EVERETT LINK, JR. (BASS). CRUCIAL NEW ORLEANS NIGHT CLUB JAZZ AND SMALL COMBO LOUNGE FUNK… YOU NEED THIS FOR THE TRIO’S VERSION OF GEORGE HARRISON’S “MY SWEET LORD” WHICH, WHILE NOT AS DANK AND BADASS AS THE OVERTON BERRY TRIO’S VERSION OF “HEY JUDE”, IS STILL SERIOUSLY FUNKY AND IN ALL WAYS DOPE… OVERALL, THERE’S PRETTY MUCH A VERITABLE PANTS-LOAD OF KILLER BEATS AND POTENTIAL SAMPLES ON THIS THING… TOTALLY JAKE FROM START TO FINISH, IN MY OPINION… ALSO, THE KOLE TRIO’S VERSION OF JOE RAPOSO’S “SESAME STREET THEME” IS IN YOUR FACE. THE “CHILL SIDE” OF THIS SET (SIDE ONE) IS BOSS, TOO, THOUGH DEFINITELY MORE ‘COCKTAIL LOUNGE-Y’, NOT SO FUNKY… SWEET VERSION OF THE CARPENTERS “CLOSE TO YOU” AND EVEN ON VERSIONS OF TIRED OLD NIGHTCLUB STANDARD WARHORSES LIKE “EXODUS” AND “ON A CLEAR DAY YOU CAN SEE FOREVER” KOLE’S PLAYING IS TOUGH AND IN CHARGE... RICHARD TAYLOR ILLUSTRATED AND DESIGNED THE CHARMING JACKET… MARLENE BLACKWELL WROTE THE BACK COVER NOTES. I DON’T KNOW WHO RECORDED IT, BUT IT’S WARM AND UP-FRONT… SOUNDS GREAT! OH, DID I MENTION THAT THE LP IS INSCRIBED AND AUTOGRAPHED BY KOLE? I DIDN’T? WELL, DIG IT, BROTHER… IT IS! WHOOP! VG+/VG+. ALL REASONABLE OFFERS ENTERTAINED! DON’T BE SHY!
