Clarinetist Pete Fountain designed this CD as a romantic and very danceable ballad album and even such songs as "Rose Room" and "I Can't Believe That You're in Love with Me" are taken at slow tempoes. Accompanied by an inflexible rhythm section that probably regarded jazz as a second language and a dull trombone section, Fountain still sounds enthusiastic. His tone is the only reason to acquire this disappointing set. ~ Scott Yanow

Cheek To Cheek Music Review Average Rating: (3.8 out of 5 stars)   Annoying ticking
All songs had an annoying ticking sound. The ticking seemed to follow the beat, but it was mechanical as opposed to something one would get from a musical instrument.

For me this is the best pete fountain CD that I have. (I don't have them all yet). Pete just concentrates on playing the tune without too many frills and the tone is great. I wish he would have made more like this. "Just a closer Walk" was played like the tracks on this album and if you liked that then you will like this .

A Pete Fountain Must Have
This album is an absolute must for fans of Pete Fountain. It's not the Dixieland style music that he his best known for. These are standards such as Cheek to Cheek, Smoke Rings, You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby, I Let a Song Go Out of My Heart, and my fav selection, Unforgettable. Each of the songs is a delight. Pete plays at ease with his veteran style of making a tune come to life. Everything swings the way he plays. You can count on enjoying every note on every song. Whenever I listen to this album I cannot help but tap my toe and hum along.
The arrangements are excellent and all call for an ensemble of trombones and piano bass and drums. The trombonists all play their parts superbly. I do not care to much for the rhytm section. The drummer is uninspired and sounds like a rhythm machine. Pete and his trombone pals really make this worth hearing.

True to its title, the split album Working Class Heroes features the street-level fist-in-the-air anthems of N.Y.C. hardcore stalwarts Agnostic Front and Dutch street punks Discipline. Recorded live at a 2001 gig together in Belgium, the record is pretty much as one would expect -- the sonic equivalent of a sweaty, teeming mosh pit of dudes with shaved heads and wife beaters pushing and stomping their way through a never-ending assault of fiery hardcore. The first part of the album is basically Roger Miret furiously barking out lyrics of politics and scene solidarity, even going so far as to tell people to disregard the rappers supposedly invading his hometown turf since their music is nothing but "fucking bullshit" that doesn't interest hardcore. You can practically see his vitriol-filled spit fly. As the packed crowd responds with throaty yells at every belted note, it's quite obvious that Agnostic Front's reach from atop the N.Y. hardcore heap goes far beyond the Bowery's cracked sidewalks on the Eastern Seaboard. Their set is fine for fans who can't get enough of the group (though they'd probably be just as well served by the band's 1989 Live at CBGB album), but the real highlight comes on the record's second half with the more Oi!-leaning hardcore sounds of Discipline. Maybe it's because you can't beat the incensed backing "Oi!s" filling ...

$21.65 | | Paul Brown City CD (2005)
Cheek To Cheek album
$11.69
In 2004, when longtime smooth jazz producer Paul Brown unleashed his more personal guitar artistry via his solo debut, Up Front, and its hit airplay track "24/7," he created an interesting future dilemma for himself: he might someday be competing for radio time and sales against some of the superstars he'd helped to the top. The oft-imitated but never equaled producer, composer, and arranger has been the primary architect of the genre's urban sound for close to 15 years, scoring over 40 number one airplay hits for genre stars like Boney James (who duets with Brown on "Old Friends" and the title track), Rick Braun, Peter White, Kirk Whalum, Euge Groove, Norman Brown, Patti Austin, Larry Carlton, and legendary labelmates Al Jarreau and, in a cool full-circle career twist, Brown's chief jazz guitar influence, George Benson. Opening with the quirky and infectious "Cosmic Monkey," which features wordless vocals by Jeffrey Osborne, Brown gets even looser and funkier on this brilliant follow-up, inviting you into a whole new type of grooving playground. It's refreshing to hear tunes in this genre that sound so organic and uncontrived; the strutting, jamming, and funk-drenched "Las Vegas," written with guitarist Chuck Loeb and featuring the blistering sax of Michael Paulo, was created specifically for a New Year's Eve gig he did in Sin City. ...
