Diana Krall's first studio outing since she and husband Elvis Costello became the proud parents of twin boys, 2009's QUIET NIGHTS finds the jazz singer/pianist turning in a serene and pleasantly subdued set. Krall breezes through a few bossa nova standards, most notably "The Girl from Ipanema" (here gender-reversed to "The Boy...") and the title track (originally "Corcovado"), both penned by the legendary Antonio Carlos Jobim. QUIET NIGHTS isn't solely a Brazilian-themed outing, however, as Krall also spends plenty of time ...

| | Stan Kenton Merry Christmas! CD (2003)
Sanctuary: 20 Years Of Windham Hill CD music
$9.39
When bandleader Stan Kenton was approached to record an album of holiday music in 1961 he agreed, on one condition -- no songs about singing snowmen or flying reindeer. The resulting album, A Merry Christmas, is a polyphonic masterpiece that is at once progressive and traditional. Included are such well-known classics as "O Tannenbaum" and "The Twelve Days of Christmas" as well as lesser known gems like "The Holly and the Ivy" and "Once in Royal David's City." Featuring Kenton's idiosyncratic style of arranging piercing trumpets over a wooly blanket of trombones and mellophones, this is beautiful, forward-thinking and angular music that addresses both complex classical harmony and ...
| | Dennis Mitcheltree Transformation CD (1998)
Sanctuary: 20 Years Of Windham Hill music CDs
$15.25
There have been original tenor saxophonists coming out of the spell of John Coltrane who are not Michael Brecker clones. Mitcheltree, with his full robust, literate, tuneful sound which slightly echoes 'Trane-Sonny Rollins-Joe Henderson-Yusef Lateef, is one. With music in the modern mainstream, Mitcheltree penned the majority of these nine selections backed by two different bands of equal talent. Pianists Johannes Wallmann and Brian Sharron, bassists Jesse Crawford and Jeff Hamann, and drummers Bill McClellan and Andy Algire split duties. Mitcheltree exudes not a quiet fire, but one that is stoked by post-bop tradition and tempered by the desire to move forward. This kineticism is quite evident on the opening cut "Absentikate" where a rambling progressive bop motion and complex but solid melodic and harmonic ideas are offered. "Gumbo" of course sports New Orleans shuffle trappings tacked onto hard bop. Mitcheltree's tenor is soulful, swinging, and street smart. A more contemporary 4/4 timing informs the cool swing funk of "Perspective," simultaneously nonchalant and on edge, with a tactful piano-drum workout from Wallmann and McClellan. The title track has a rhythm that seems as if it's waiting to swing, an up and down head dynamic, and a bluesy bridge section with Sharron's ...

| | Liza Minnelli Tropical Nights CD (1977)
Sanctuary: 20 Years Of Windham Hill album
$10.19
If Liza Minnelli never had much success as a recording artist, the reason may have been that she was too busy to give that aspect of her career sufficient attention. In the minds of both her audience and the record companies for which she recorded, the other areas of her career actively competed with her recording role. Consider her 1977 album Tropical Nights. Though she had been recording for Columbia Records since the Top 20 success of the Liza with a "Z" TV soundtrack in 1972, the release was her first non-soundtrack, non-cast studio album in four years, since 1973's Liza Minnelli, The Singer. It was sandwiched between her appearances in the movie musical New York, New York (which opened in June and had a soundtrack album on United Artists), and the stage musical The Act (which opened in October and had a cast album on DRG). Minnelli had no time to promote it, and Columbia had little incentive to do so for her. But even if they had, it's ...

The back cover of Antichrist proudly declares, "The sin of Satan is the sign of Gorgoroth." For most extreme metal bands, such a claim would be nothing more than entertaining rhetoric dreamed up by a publicist, manager, promoter, or A&R person. But Norway's notorious Gorgoroth is a rare example of an extreme metal band that really can be genuinely disturbing (as opposed to ironic, campy, or dark-humored) in a recording studio. And like Slayer on the death metal side of extreme metal, these black metallers have a long history of providing CDs that sound like the real deal; Antichrist is one of them. This 25-minute disc was recorded in late 1994 and early 1995; by that time, Gorgoroth ...
