Guitarist Barney Kessel's string of recordings for Contemporary in the 1950s included some of the finest work of his career. The unusual repertoire on this set -- which includes "Louisiana," "Indiana," and "12th Street Rag," along with four Kessel originals and more usual standards -- would by itself make this bop/cool set noteworthy. Add to that a very interesting lineup of players (trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison, Georgie Auld or Bill Perkins on tenor, pianist Jimmy Rowles, the rhythm guitar of Al Hendrickson, bassist Red Mitchell, and Shelly Manne or Irv Cottler on drums) and some excellent showcases for Kessel, and the overall result is a CD highly recommended to fans of straight-ahead jazz. ~ Scott Yanow

Brewed by Noon blends modern jazz and African tribal rhythms seamlessly. They bring to life a truly novel conception of art and folk-tradition that is like nothing you have ever heard. "Brewed by Noon is one of the most unique and impressive records we've heard this year--They're on fire." -New York Press "Brewed by Noon is the best kind of genre-defying album. Here are four musicians coming from different directions (jazz, folk, American and Senegalese rock, among others) and melding those directions without the resulting sound being based on contrast. They speak to each other in different musical languages....." - All about JazzThierno Camara (Vocals/Bass): Thierno Camara was born in Senegal. After playing the piano and flute as a child he started to play bass at fourteen. His first foray into African music was with the group Sora.

| | Grupo X Food For Your Latin Soul CD (2007) (Import)
To Swing Or Not To Swing
$11.15
When Grupo X broke through in 2001 with their debut album "X-Posure", and much acclaimed single "Brand New Love", their individual and unique London blend of salsa, soul, bugalu and descarga won them many friends worldwide. From latin and jazz radio stations across the USA to a host of international club DJs (Louie Vega, Gilles Peterson, Osunlade, Patrick Forge, Bobbito Garcia, Rainer Truby, Nicola Conte, Jazzanova, Snowboy), "X-posure" was much loved and played extensively. With a busy live schedule, including being house latin band at London's legendary Jazz Cafe backing people like Jack Costanzo, Dave Pike, Jimmy Bosch, Bobby Matos etc, bandleader Jonny Enright took his time with the second album. Well, they say good things come to those who wait, so in 2006 here it is. "Food For Your Latin Soul" continues where "X-Posure" left off but with an even more adventurous musical dialogue. The true spirit of Nuyorican latin music is alive and well in the old-school analogue and live-band recordings, with heavy descarga, salsa dura, latin jazz, latin soul and bugalu still present. But Jonny and the band have added extra musical colour to the picture - Brasilian samba, Puerto Rican bomba, Afro-Cuban bata drums, ska, Afro-Peruvian rhythms, Salsoul style string arrangements. A musical pot-pourri that blends perfectly and naturally. The tightness and exceptional playing come from a band that's been together nearly a decade. Once again, soul diva Lisa Millett is back on lead vocals - a superstar in the house music scene having worked with Paul Oakenfold, All Seeing ...
