Brand new, sealed. No. 1475
Renowned archivist and “jazz detective” Zev Feldman has no less than 10 new titles he’s produced for this year’s RSD festivities, including previously unreleased performances from such titans as Art Tatum, Cannonball Adderley, Sun Ra and Yusef Lateef, among others. Yet the jewel of this year’s bounty is a newly discovered concert from gospel legend and electric guitar groundbreaker Sister Rosetta Tharpe, lovingly known as The Godmother of Rock n’ Roll.
Discovered by Feldman while he was researching for potential material at the INA France, this concert – recorded at the Grand Theatre in Limoges, France, on Nov. 11, 1966 – finds Sister Rosetta at her soulful best. Armed with only her superhuman guitar skills and powerful, compassionate voice, this gorgeous capture from French television finds Tharpe enrapturing her audience with the strength of a symphony orchestra as she glides through a 21-song set kissed by such Sunday service staples as “This Train,” “Jericho” and “Two Little Fishes, Five Loaves of Bread.”
