| | Herbie Hancock Gershwin's World CD (1998) Sacd Hybrid
DVD Space Spectacular film
$15.89 
GERSHWIN'S WORLD won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Performance, Individual Or Group. "St. Louis Blues" won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance and Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocal(s).
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
The epitome of a 20th Century musician, Herbie Hancock has always traversed wildly divergent stylistic paths, finding his way easily into jazz, funk, fusion, dance-pop and more. His ability to make valid individual statements in all these genres is part of what makes his compositions and performances so rich. So it doesn't seem at all incongrous for Hancock to interpret the work of George Gershwin, redefining much of the Gershwin canon in the process (with assistance from some world-class compatriots). Hancock's stated aim for GERSHWIN'S WORLD is to get inside the pieces, illustrating their essence rather than knocking off rote versions of these standards. Towards that end, "St. Louis Blues" is transmogrified by the soulful vocals and funky chromatic harmonica of Stevie Wonder; "It Ain't Necessarily So" becomes an ominous, angular jazz vamp, with saxmen James Carter and Kenny Garret trading arch, sly interjections. Another genre-buster, Joni Mitchell, makes a case for a potential career as a jazz vocalist via her performance on "The Man I Love" and "Summertime."
Personnel: Herbie Hancock (piano, organ); Stevie Wonder (vocals, harmonica); Joni Mitchell, Kathleen Battle ...
| | Mike Oldfield Tubular Bells CD (1973)
DVD Space Spectacular review
$12.79  
The 19-year old Mike Oldfield played virtually everything on the mostly instrumental TUBULAR BELLS. Employing fugue-like classical patterns and wildly eclectic instrumentation, which included the flageolet, the mandolin, and the Farfisa organ, Oldfield created an intricately shifting web of musical phrases that overlapped and interlocked to generate a seemingly endless variety of textures. Oldfield achieved this effect, in large part, by overdubbing hundreds of times during the recording process (Rolling Stone magazine quoted the number of overdubs at 2300).
The resulting album was a revelation, a densely layered, richly textured tapestry of sound that put "minimalist" musical ideas in a pop music context, and also presaged New Age instrumentals. The first album to be released on the Virgin label, TUBULAR BELLS was highly successful, in part because the ominous, tingling intro to the album was used in the film THE EXORCIST. A single version, sometimes called "Theme From The Exorcist," became a Top 10 hit, and the album hit #1 on the British album charts. Years later, the album still holds up, unveiling hidden, layered delights with each listen.
Q (9/00, p.126) - 5 stars out of 5 - "...The most incident-packed of his '70s releases: you're never more than 2 minutes away from a crescendo or a beautiful interlude..."

in London, England, and Alexander Digital Suite in Miami, Florida.
Sarah Brightman is an example of the kind of artist that Duke Ellington would have described as "beyond category." Coming from a theatrical musical background, she combines the traditions of Broadway show-tunes (Andrew Lloyd-Webber's ex, she starred in his 'Phantom of the Opera,' among other things), opera, art song and pop to produce a fresh, unusual amalgam that is showcased to fine effect on TIME TO SAY GOODBYE. Brightman reaches into the Latin tradition here (she sings in Spanish on such tunes as 'Tu Quieres Volver,' offering a glimpse of yet another area of her talent. One of the brightest spots of the album ...
