Back in the 60′s there was a smaller jazz subsidiary of the Chicago blues powerhouse we know as Chess Records called Cadet Records. This label released more of the experimental stuff that might reach a smaller audience than its parent company Chess did. One artist in particular on this label that is dear to me is the soul, blues, jazz artist Terry Callier. After a couple of hits in the late 60′s his career mostly faded out and was eventually forced to take a job with University of Chicago. Recently he has enjoyed a fruitful resurgence in his career and continues to tour. This soul jazz blues man speaks right to my heart: he makes me feel human. His music is both sad and uplifting. Check out his definitive 1973 work “What Color is Love”
