Tracks recorded in New York, New York in 1956. Includes liner notes by Samuel Charters.
Digitally remastered by Marshall Morgan using 24-bit technology.
This is part of Vanguard's John Hammond Jazz Showcases series.
These recordings, produced by John Hammond, were originally released on a series of discs. For the sessions, Hammond placed the two fine players in a simple setting; the outcome is excellent. Braff's New Orleans-style cornet playing is well-suited to Larkins' stride piano. The result is some wonderful music, particularly on standards like "Pocket Full of Dreams" and "I Could Write a Book." ~ Tim Sheridan

| | Ray Davies Kinks Choral Collection CD (2009)
Duets, Vol. 2 songs
$15.05 
Orchestral and choral arrangements of rock songs have been a curious subgenre ever since the mid-'60s when Andrew Loog Oldham arranged The Rolling Stones Songbook for syrupy strings, but The Kinks Choral Collection stands apart from the pack for the simple reason that it's not the project of some associate or admirer, but rather chief Kink Ray Davies. His very presence as arranger and lead vocal means The Kinks Choral Collection isn't nearly as stuffy and middlebrow as so many of these orchestral rock albums; he manages to inject some semblance of rock & roll by pushing the songs forward with guitar, and letting the rhythms swing instead of plod. This looseness is the first big surprise of the album. The second is its unrepentant but quite possibly accidental silliness, how many of the major guitar riffs are transposed for choir, an audacious idea in concept that's simply goofy in practice. These choral chants hamper the hardest rocking songs here -- "You Really Got Me," "All Day and All of the Night," "Victoria" -- and they're mercifully absent from the slower tunes, songs that benefit from the gentle layered harmonies. In comparison to most orchestral and choral rock albums, these arrangements are subtle and sensitive, providing a nice counterpart for the surprising dose of rock & roll, both ...

Spiky semi-experimental post-rock from Italy, the debut full-length by Diane and the Shell mixes spoken word passages and bits of airport-related found sound into an angular guitar-based aesthetic. Although some quieter passages can be found, like the antiphonal piano and guitar interplay in the last of three tracks named only with a half-dozen or so backslash ...
