Cyndi Lauper closed out her Epic Records contract with this holiday album, which consists mostly of original compositions. Lauper seeks the Christmas spirit in some snowless locales, giving a Cajun sound to "Early Christmas Morning" and an appropriately tropical feel to "Christmas Conga." She favors folkie arrangements and is heard playing dulcimer, recorder, and ukulele, among other instruments, which lend a homemade feel to the tracks. Merry Christmas...Have a Nice Life! is an unusual but ultimately winning collection, rendered with Lauper' s typical cockeyed conviction. ~ William Ruhlmann

Merry Christmas... Have A Nice Life CD music
$14.69 While Sun Ra was certainly one of jazz's most bizarre and creative self-mythologizers, he was also one of it's most adventurous and talented keyboard players. THE NIGHT OF THE PURPLE MOON, reissued by Atavistic in 2007, is a relaxed small-combo affair that, interestingly, finds long-time saxophone sideman John Gilmore on drums for all but one cut (he plays tenor on "Impromptu Festival"). The focus, though, is, of course, Ra and his Rocksichord, just one of the many odd synths and keyboards the Saturn native would employ during his career. This is pure, vintage Sunny Ray, as the man grooves, struts, and gets way out on these simple takes. The reissue also includes three bonus demos of Ra jamming on his Wurlitzer, providing yet more evidence of his amazing piano skills.
This one is quirky, even in the Sun Ra catalog. Ra fronts a quartet playing nothing but miniMoog and Rocksichord, along with Stafford James on electric bass, Danny Davis on alto, clarinet, flute, and bongos, and John Gilmore on drums! Gilmore has a skittering approach to the drums, which are curiously mic'ed with the hi-hat being especially prominent. Ra's playing doesn't ...
