This LP has a particularly strong all-around set by the Modern Jazz Quartet. While John Lewis' "Versailles" and an 11-minute "Fontessa" show the seriousness of the group (and the influence of Western classical music), other pieces (such as "Bluesology," "Woody 'N You" and a pair of ballads) look toward the group's roots in bop and permit the band to swing hard. ~ Scott Yanow
Modern Jazz Quartet: John Lewis (piano); Milt Jackson (vibraphone); Percy Heath (acoustic bass); Connie Kay (drums).

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Fascinating
As a firts impact, the music of MJQ can even sound cold, but it is not. on the other hand, it is meticulous, scrupulous, minute, and, at last, fascinating.

Purchase Fontessa CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Faith Hill Breathe CD (1999)
Fontessa
 $9.89   
Faith Hill won the 2000 CMA Award for Female Vocalist Of The Year.
BREATHE won the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Country Album. "Breathe" won the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance. "Let's Make Love" won the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals. "Breathe" was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award in the categories of Best Country Song and Song Of The Year. "The Way You Love Me" was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Country Song.
With her third album, FAITH, Faith Hill tasted pop crossover success--and she evidently liked the taste. BREATHE, Hill's fourth release, takes the pop/country stylings of FAITH to the next level. It's an appealing collection of pop, gospel, R&B, rock, and ballads, with just a bit of country thrown in. The production, featuring Hill's big voice surrounded by booming drums and screaming guitars, is so slick you could skate on it.
Love is the subject of nearly every song, from the exuberant "I Got My Baby," to the soulful "Love Is a Sweet Thing," to the cutesy "The Way You Love Me," with its Beatlesque backing vocals. But while Hill can obviously handle a wide range of material, she sounds best on the ...

| | Santana Moonflower CDs (1977) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Fontessa
$15.85
Santana, which was renowned for its concert work dating back to Woodstock, did not release a live album in the U.S. until this one, and it's only partially live, with studio tracks added, notably a cover of the Zombies' "She's Not There" (number 27) that became Santana's first Top 40 hit in five years. The usual comings and goings in band membership had taken place since last time; the track listing was a good mixture of the old -- "Black Magic Woman," "Soul Sacrifice" -- and the recent, and with the added radio play of a hit single, Moonflower went Top Ten ...

| | Willie Nelson Stardust CD (1978)
Fontessa
$6.75
Includes liner notes by Mickey Raphael, Booker T. Jones and Willie Nelson.
Digitally remastered by Chris Athens (Sterling Sound, New York, New York).
15 years before Tony Bennett made the Great American Songbook safe for the MTV generation, there was Willie Nelson's STARDUST, one of the greatest "crossover" albums in history. The concept was simple: Willie singing a select group of familiar standards by composers such as Carmichael, Berlin, Weill, Ellington, the Gershwins, all in his familiar and inimitable style. Yet the result is not a quite a country treatment of these tunes. For one thing, the great R&B organist Booker T. Jones produced the session in addition to performing with Nelson's superb band featuring the estimable Mickey Raphael on harmonica. One of the enduring pleasures of STARDUST is the interplay between hushed organ, keening harmonica and Nelson's own stately gut-string guitar as well as his beautifully measured, plaintive singing.
At the height of outlaw country, Willie Nelson pulled off perhaps the riskiest move of the entire bunch. He set aside originals, country, and folk and recorded Stardust, a collection of pop standards produced by Booker T Jones. Well, it's not entirely accurate to say that he put away country and folk, since these are highly idiosyncratic interpretations of "Georgia on My Mind," "All of Me," "Moonlight in Vermont," and "Don't Get Around Much Anymore," blending pop, country, jazz, and folk in equal measures. It's not that Willie makes these songs his own, it's that he reimagines these songs in a way that nobody else could, and with his trusty touring band, he makes these versions indelible. It may be strange to think that this album, containing no originals from one of America's greatest ...

| | Acquiesce Creating An Atmosphere Of Luck CD (2007)
Fontessa
$11.39
Any band can make noise, and some can even make music. But a rare few can pool their creative resources to make art … art that can touch the heart as easily as dent an eardrum … art that lingers long after the tour bus has headed off to the next gig ... art that makes an impact. Crunching power chords, sharp song writing, and an endless supply of catchy riffs are at the core of New York's Acquiesce. The band's attack comes via its five-headed sonic monster: Brett Kohart (vocals) and Dan "Lil Angus" Sweeney (lead guitar) man the helm, while ably supported by Justin Lizama (rhythm guitar), James Kluz (drums) and Nate Meng (bass guitar).The diverse musical background each member possesses has resulted is an amalgamated sound for Acquiesce. Incorporating the best aspects of classic '60s and '70s hard rock, with the lyrical grandeur of '80s college radio fare, the band has staked its claim in the crowded New York City scene. Boasting a resume highlighted by a fanatical fan base, the Big Apple quintet has garnered critical acclaim from mainstream publications PopMatters.com, the Village Voice, Time Out New York and Newsday, while staying at the forefront of Gotham's ...
