Rudy Stevenson

Rudolf "Rudy" Stevenson (born 1929 in Berlin, Germany ) was an American blues , soul and jazz guitarist , flutist , music producer and composer .

Life [ Edit | Edit Source Code ]

Stevenson first played the saxophone and turned to the rhythm guitar due to the limitations of the local Cabaret Law . [1] At the beginning of his career he joined Lloyd Price . In the 1960s, he played for five years in the backing band of Nina Simone , with whom he recorded a total of nine albums (including I Put a Spell on You or My Baby Just Cares for Me ) and her repertoire of his compositions like Is not No Use and I'm Gonna Leave You . He also worked with Sheila Jordan , Wynton Kelly (for whom he wrote Out Front ), Cedar Walton ( Soul Cycle , 1969) and Dexter Gordon .

His compositions were recorded by George Benson , Dexter Gordon, Jocelyn B. Smith, and Joe Zawinul . Herbie Mann took "Comin 'Home Baby" in 1966; Another famous song was Do not Cha Hear Me Calling to Ya , the back of the 5th Dimension -Hits Aquarius . In the early 1980s he was a member of the Duke Ellington Orchestra , led by Mercer Ellington , with whom he contributed to the RCA album Duke Ellington's Sophisticated Ladies (1981). [2] In 1988, he moved to Berlin, where he has since worked as a composer and producer (with Tayo Awosusi, among others ) and has directed various bands. He worked for several years with Lia Andes, a radio and soloist, and wrote songs for her and recorded several albums ( This Masquerade ). He also made his own albums (like Blues March, Vol. 1 ) on his label RSI, [3] regularly appeared in Yorckschlösschen in Berlin, including Rudy Stevenson All-Stars , including Bobby Durham .

AS YOU CAN SEE HE WAS QUITE A PROLIFIC COMPOSER 

CONTRIBUTING COUNTLESS TUNES TO MANY VERY NOTABLE PERFORMERS

SUCH AS NINA SIMONE & THE FIFTH DIMENSION

AND HAD AN ILLUSTRIOUS CAREER. 

THIS DISC IS UNPLAYED SO I CAN'T TESTIFY 

TO HOW IT SOUNDS OR WHO IS PLAYING. 

 FROM IT'S CONDITION AS DESCRIBED ABOVE UNDER "CONDITION DESCRIPTION" 

 IT SHOULD PLAY BUT POSSIBLY WITH LIMITATIONS.

THE GROUP PLAYING MAY BE CALLED "IN FIVE FOUR". 

I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO LOCATE INFO REGARDING THAT. 

OR MAYBE IT'S A REFERENCE TO THE TIME SIGNATURE. THAT WOULD BE COOL.   

HERE'S A LINK TO A YOU TUBE VIDEO OF NINA SIMONE SINGING THIS TUNE.

IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S IN 5/4 SO MAYBE I'M CORRECT IN MY ASSUMPTION.

GOOD LUCK & THANK YOU.
