| | Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas Soundtrack CD (1 Customer Review)
Another in a series of wildly eclectic compilation soundtracks (see THE BIG LEBOWSKI). It's not often that one can sample Bob Dylan, Tom Jones and Perry Como all on one disc. Yet the effect is not all that disparate, thanks in part to the brief spoken excerpts from Hunter Thompson's gonzo screed on which the film is based. Given the drug-drenched nature of the narrative, the selections are skewed to tried-and-true hippie psychedelic classics ( "White Rabbit", "Expecting To Fly"), except for Como's "Magic Moments" and Debbie Reynolds' "Tammy," which veer towards the surreal.
Of course, Tom Jones ' "She's A Lady" is a little more appropriate, given the Las Vegas setting. Composers Tomoyasu Hotei and Ray Cooper also provide "A Drug Score," an effective 3-part acid freak jam scattered throughout the disc. The whole goofy trip ends with The Dead Kennedys' thrashing cover of "Viva Las Vegas." Given the proto-punk ethos of Hunter Thompson's writing and its roots in West Coast psychedelia , this surprise appearance by San Francisco's witty homegrown punks makes a twisted kind of sense.

Interestingly, Horn rarely takes a solo, but repeats the songs over and over, slightly changing the phrasing and continuously building on the piano to change the emphasis. Every cut is a masterpiece, but the stand out is the title cut. Drummer Steve Williams sets up a strange, repetitive ...

I REMEMBER MILES won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Performance.
This stunning album is Shirley Horn's loving tribute to her friend and colleague, the legendary late Miles Davis. Davis was so taken by Horn's first album EMBERS AND ASHES that he forced The Village Vanguard to let her virtually-unknown trio open for him during his 1961 run there. Their friendship and admiration for each other's music lasted through the years, and Shirley Horn's 1991 recording YOU WON'T FORGET ME, was one of the last recordings Miles Davis made.
Horn selected mostly ballads from Davis' Columbia Records catalogue for her tribute because, as she explains in the liner notes, Davis liked her to sing ballads, and ballads are Horn's specialty. She can slow down time in a unique and spellbinding way. Her sultry and smoky vocals are intimate and conversational, relying on odd metered timing and silence, rather than volume, to make an emotional point.
This album's knock out punch is the epic ...

The title of this television-advertised compilation may be arrogant, but then the tango is not a dance for the shy and retiring. Whether or not it is, as it claims, The Best Tango Album in the World, Ever!, the two-disc set, containing 30 tracks and running a little less than an hour and a half, does feature some major performers of the music, notably Carlos Gardel, renowned as the father of the tango, heard performing "Volver" and the concluding vocal version ...
