Principally recorded at Capitol Studio B, Los Angeles, California.

Diane Schuur's first release on Atlantic Records is a stunner. Produced by label founder Ahmet Ertegun, MUSIC IS MY LIFE shows why Schuur is one of the most appealing and powerful female singers on the international jazz scene.

MUSIC IS MY LIFE features standards such as Cole Porter's "You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To," "That Old Devil Called Love," and a gorgeous version of the chestnut "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." True, there's little risk-taking in the choice of material, but Schuur's performances are impeccable.

Additionally, the singer's freeform deconstruction of the pop classic "I Only Have Eyes For You," Rodgers and Hart's "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" and the title track showcases her tremendous vocal range and power. Schuur's singing--often compared with Ella Fitzgerald--is pure perfection of the kind that stands up against any jazz vocalist of any era.

Allman Brothers Band Dreams CDs  (1989) Box Set

Music Is My Life
CD $38.09  4.5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
DREAMS is a 4-CD box set compiling in chronological order tracks by the Allman Brothers Band, as well as tracks by bands featuring one or more member of the Allman Brothers Band and solo performances by Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts. Recorded between 1966 & 1988. Includes a 32-page illustrated booklet and liner notes by John Swenson. Like nearly all box sets, DREAMS has plenty to recommend it-and a few nagging drawbacks. The set's chief shortcoming is its two conflicting goals: providing an overview of the Allmans' history, thus attracting buyers seeking the ultimate hits package, and including enough unreleased tracks and rarities to appeal to the band's most devoted fans. ...

Poco Forgotten Trail (1969-74) CDs  (1990)

Music Is My Life
CD $15.29  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
This compilation contains 38 songs, including many new remixes from original master tapes, 6 previously unreleased songs, alternate versions of 3 others, and a comprehensive 36 page booklet, with historic liner notes and photos. This excellent two-disc collection captures Poco's finest moments from the days when they were laying down the template for all the country-rock music that was to follow. It's hard to remember, but when the Eagles first hit the scene, they were thought by many to be a Poco-wannabe band. Listen to this set and you'll hear why. The Forgotten Trail (1969-1974) culls tracks from Poco's first eight albums, as well as unreleased cuts and singles. From the classic anthem "Pickin' Up the Pieces," which kicks things off, through "You Better Think Twice," "C'mon," "Kind Woman," "From the Inside," "A Good Feelin' to Know," "Crazy Eyes," and on and on, this is wonderful music, ahead of its time ...

Kevin Mahogany My Romance CD  (1998)

Music Is My Life
CD $6.09  Audio Samples
You might say it's the best and the worst of times for jazz singing. On the one hand, the possibilities for an expanded post-standards repertoire have never been greater. On the other, young singers sound overly self-conscious, as if the very lack of a schooled tradition hinders them. Also, the prevalence of gospel-trained virtuosity, at least for the newer black singers, is almost always an encumbrance in a jazz context. The mellow-voiced Kevin Mahogany, a young black singer himself, seems to have bypassed these difficulties from the start. He is a ...

Diane Schuur Swingin' For Schuur CD  (2001)

Music Is My Life
CD $8.19  5 stars Audio Samples
Well regarded as one of our greatest living jazz singers, Schuur seems to enjoy album titles created out of puns of her name -- prior to this there was Friends for Schuur -- but don't let the novelties distract you from this sassy, explosively brassy swing project blending her inventive vocals with Ferguson's blistering trumpet and the ensemble energy of his Big Bop Nouveau Band. Aside from crisp performances by both, the real key to the success here is the unexpected arrangements of standards by various members of Ferguson's band. Two classics generally rendered as intimate ballads -- "Autumn Leaves" and "My Romance" -- are rendered as easy swaying, frisky finger-snapping romps. The interlude after ...

Recorded between 1967 & 1983. Includes liner notes by Jim Ladd. Released to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the release of the first Doors album, THE VERY BEST OF THE DOORS supercedes all former Doors compilations. At two discs and 34 tracks, this is quite comprehensive for a band whose key lineup released only half a dozen albums. In addition to all the expected hits like "Light My Fire," "Hello I Love You," and "Roadhouse Blues," this compilation delves much deeper into the catalogue with ...
