Review by Nicodemus Rusdiyanto

Leonard Feather’s Encyclopedia of Jazz: Jazz of the 60s, Vol. 3 – Voices Traditional and Modern Alright, let’s get into this beast. If you’re a sucker for that raw, unfiltered jazz sound mixed with some bluesy grit, then Leonard Feather’s Encyclopedia of Jazz: Jazz of the 60s, Volume 3 is gonna slap you upside the head in all the right ways. This ain’t no polished pop record—this is straight-up fire from the US underground, brought to life by Exodus Records (yeah, they named their label twice, like it’s so badass they had to say it again). Produced by Sid McCoy and wrapped up in a cover designed by George S. Whiteman, this album screams authenticity. Now, I’m not gonna sit here and break down every track because who’s got time for that? But lemmy hit ya with two bangers that stuck in my brain like gum on a hot sidewalk: “Stool Pigeon Blues” and “Jumpin’ at the Woodside.” First off, “Stool Pigeon Blues.” Man, this one hits hard. It’s got that country blues vibe but with enough edge to cut glass. The vocals feel like they’re coming straight outta some smoky juke joint where everybody’s nursing a whiskey and nursing a grudge. There’s something about the way the singer spits out those lyrics—it’s like he’s telling you a story you don’t wanna hear but can’t turn away from. And the guitar? Damn near weeps. You know when people talk about music having soul? Yeah, this is what they mean. Then there’s “Jumpin’ at the Woodside,” which flips the script entirely. This one’s Big Band energy through and through, man. Horns blaring, drums pounding, and a rhythm section tighter than your grandma’s purse strings. It’s impossible not to move to this track—it grabs you by the collar and drags you onto the dance floor whether you like it or not. Every time I hear it, I picture some sweaty club packed wall-to-wall with folks shaking off whatever crap life threw at ‘em that week. Pure catharsis. What makes this album wild is how it bounces between styles without missing a beat. One minute you’re deep in the blues, drowning in heartbreak, and the next you’re swinging so hard you might pull a muscle. That contrast keeps you on your toes, like walking into a bar fight and accidentally stumbling into a poetry slam. But here’s the kicker—the whole thing feels alive. Like these musicians didn’t just play—they poured themselves into each note, warts and all. These aren’t perfect studio recordings; they’re real moments captured in time. And honestly? That’s what makes it stick. So yeah, if you’re hunting for an album that’ll knock your socks off and remind you why jazz and blues still matter, grab this one. Just be ready—it’s not gonna ask permission before it kicks your ass. Oh, and hey… random thought: ever wonder if George S. Whiteman knew his cover art would end up being dissected by some lunatic on the internet decades later? Probably not. Dude was probably just trying to pay rent. Funny how art sticks around longer than we do, huh?

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: The album *Leonard Feather's Encyclopedia of Jazz: Jazz of the 60s Volume 3 - Voices Traditional and Modern* is a hidden gem for jazz lovers. It blends big band energy with raw country blues vibes, showcasing how jazz evolved in the '60s. Fun fact—George S. Whiteman designed the cover, giving it that perfect mid-century feel. And get this: the track "Until I Met You" appears twice on the album, once as the opener and again as "Till I Met You." Maybe it’s a nod to how love and music can feel like déjà vu. Producer Sid McCoy made sure this mix of styles hit all the right notes. Definitely worth a listen if you’re into soulful, timeless sounds.
