The Raw Power, The Rugged, Soulful Sound Of DC-T Of BS&T - Uncle DAZZ

I was taking a social studies final exam on a very, very hot June day. The classroom windows were all open, but there was not breeze at all. You cold actually smell the asphalt in the schoolyard as it baked in the sun. All of the sudden, the sweaty monotony was broken by the sound of some neighborhood music addict playing his phonograph at the top volume -- it was echoing -- the song was "Spinning Wheel," the group was Blood, Sweat and Tears, and the first chord (a D7 augmented 9th!!!) was so electrifying that the hair stood up on my neck. Then the bass line kicked in, with that straight 4 on 4 cowbell, and I was mesmerized. I passed the exam (barely).

I give you David Clayton-Thomas, one of your Uncle DAZZ' favorite singers. His voice was not anything like the sweet, jazzy stuff that is tossed into the "blue-eyed soul" genre. He is pure, raw and on fire...especially with some wildly discordant brass accompanying him.

Fabulous songs, screaming powerhouse vocals, brilliant arrangements, fiery brass, and real live harmony, synergy and soul complete. Mmmm.

Your Uncle DAZZ loves you.

David Clayton Thomas and Blood, Sweat  and Tears in a beautifully-arranged version of Billie Holliday's "God Bless the Child." Filling with emotion, dramatic musical pauses, controlled dynamics, powerful drumrolls, horn swell and shakes, and a go-to-church-Hammond organ with a Leslie Speaker system. Beautifully dischordant. Polytonality extraordinaire. An amazing arrangement and performance -- my favorite of theirs. Truly showcases some wonderful jazz musicianship. Done to perfection. Flawless.

Listen to the message in "God Bless The Child" -- at the end, the hair will stand up on your neck when a sweet country harmonica joins David on the last verse.

The song is profound, filled with truth learned of great suffering.
