Review Miss Rhythm:By the time she left Atlantic Records in 1963, Ruth Brown could look back on 24 R&B hits dating back to her first, "So Long," in 1949. Raised in the church, her chops honed in Lucky Millinder's Big Band, she could deliver technique and attitude to burn, breaking hearts with smoky ballads and raising the roof with brash jump-blues numbers. Over the years her reedy, delicate voice evolved into a deep, full-bodied instrument, more expressive in its varied colors than it was early on, and she used it to devastating effect, especially on her double-entendre workouts ("Wild Wild Young Men"). The 40 tracks on this 2 CD set chart all the early, towering entries, as well as some interesting non-hits (among these a scintillating foray into gospel-based pop, "I Can See Everybody's Baby") and three previously unreleased cuts. In recent years Brown has delivered exemplary work on the Fantasy and Bullseye Blues labels, but Miss Rhythm is the rock the legend is built on. -David McGee.

Review King of Hi-De-Ho: 1934-1947 / Cab Calloway:Calloway has become a role model. Without him, sartorially at least, there'd have been no Kid Creole or Lou Bega. The supreme showman , clad in zoot suits containing enough fabric to clothe a fair-size village, Cab led one of the most popular big bands of the swing era. This release demonstrates some of the reasons why. Included are jazz classics such as "Ghost Of A Chance", Louis Jordan-styled jivers that include "A Chicken Ain't Nothing But A Bird" and "Oh Grandma" and even a hint of things to come in "I Want To Rock", which stems from 1942. Cab's vocals vary from showtime ("Minnie The Moocher") through to the dreary "San Francisco Fan", a performance that makes the listener realise why one-time band member Dizzy Gillespie once pulled a knife on his leader. As all-encompassing as they come. -Fred Dellar.
