In April 1965, Bobby Hackett was in England accompanying Tony Bennett at the London Palladium, which allowed his record label, Epic, time to set up some recording sessions. Hackett recorded two albums that month, and they have been combined on this discount-priced CD. Epic was interested in recording projects for Hackett that allowed a showcase for his trumpet playing, featured familiar material, and weren't particularly jazz-oriented. The concept for the first album recorded, Trumpets' Greatest Hits, was to have Hackett record a group of songs that had been hits in recordings prominently featuring the trumpet. It didn't much matter whether that association came because of Bix Beiderbecke (actually, a cornetist, ...

Much marketing ado will no doubt be made over the wonderful dream-come-true nature of the legendary conguero's pairing with jazz piano great Chick Corea, in a setting which brings the latter back to his roots playing with Mongo Santamaria in the '60s. And the two Corea-touched tracks are definite highlights. He wrote the jumpy, heavy-chorded jam title track, which finds him doing call and response with feisty horns as Sanchez pitter patters fancifully in the background; the piano improvisations between these interactions are characteristically mind-boggling, as Corea switches off from bebop to hardcore Latin ivory sweeps. He also tackles the frisky Wayne Shorter piece "Juju," dipping and swooping over and under the horns as, once again, Sanchez works up a frenzy all around him. But Sanchez' vision extends way beyond just the Corea songs, as he creates an exciting travelogue through various ...

Jay Bennett's fourth album is an exuberant fireball of feisty breakup songs, and his most varied and interesting post-Wilco collection to date. Reportedly just a fraction of the songs written and recorded for these sessions, the 13 tracks here brim with inspiration, anger, sadness, and gritted-teeth resignation. Whether soulfully pounding the Hammond B-3, slamming out scorching alt-country rockers, or playing the literate power-popper, Bennett confidently delivers the goods and seems poised for bigger things than his former sideman-underdog status would allow.
Jay Bennett's fourth solo effort, The Magnificent Defeat, is as dizzying and dazzling as anything he and his former bandmates put together, and it's nowhere near as mopey. For one thing, Bennett's records in general -- and this one in particular -- don't sound like his record collection. They sound like he wrote songs, made noise -- and music -- and had a blast doing it. With a bit of help from longtime collaborator Edward Burch, and co-producer and multi-instrumentalist David Vandervelde, The Magnificent Defeat is one strange, quirky, and labyrinthine journey filled with the quark weirdness of growing up ("5th Grade"), broken love songs (the rollicking country-rock of "Wide Open"), and the gorgeously and perversely orchestrated tale of loss and studied rebuttal ("The Palace at 4 A.M."). This latter track has an obvious inspiration: the Elvis Costello of King of America. It's not just the tune or its arrangements, but Bennett even reaches for those same notes with his own little voice. It's a tribute paid blatantly. It adds immeasurably to the drama, warmth, and humor in this set.
"Replace You " is a rocker with plinking high keys from an upright piano, a pumped up organ, and a guitar riff that the glam kings would have fought the biker bands for. When "Out All Night," comes slinking out of the speakers at a volume of ten with throbbing guitar squall, it becomes obvious that Bennett is lyrically obsessed with brokenness in his relationships, but he celebrates it with the grittiness and accessibility of the best rock & roll, rather than just swimming in the emotion. As a result, he comes to accept it all with the words: "Yeah, it was the best that I could do..." Never have heartbreak and loneliness sounded like such a desirable party to attend. In "Overexcusers," a grand, detached, social and political cynicism is sparkled through with pop hooks, bright spangly production, and quaking drums. "Survey the Damage" is a ballad; it's shot through with just enough bitterness to give the listener a degree of empathy rather than pity. ...
