| | Artie Shaw Greatest Hits CD Artie Shaw Discography of CDs
This CD is part of RCA's 1996 Introduction to Jazz series which mostly features swing era recordings. Greatest Hits collects 14 recordings by clarinetist Artie Shaw with his second, third and fourth big bands. His "greatest hits" ("Begin the Beguine," "Frenesi" and the finest version ever of "Stardust") are here, along with some lesser-known tracks and vocals by Helen Forrest and Billie Holiday. Surprisingly, Shaw's Gramercy Five (which had a million seller in "Summit Ridge Drive") is absent and not even mentioned in the breezy liner notes; there is also no personnel listing for the orchestra, and the music is programmed somewhat randomly. There are more definitive Artie Shaw sets easily available, but this CD is OK for beginners if found at a budget price. ~ Scott Yanow

James Ivory directed this quietly moving film set just prior to World War II. On the large English estate of Lord Darlington (James Fox), a disciplined English butler, Stevens (Anthony Hopkins), devotes himself to his duties with rigorous dedication. Like his father (Peter Vaughan) before him, Stevens lives to serve--to bring order and certainty to the estate's minutiae. Though Stevens has the opportunity to break ...

"From the rich percussive grooves of the short opener "Mo Drums," this live set from the Martha's Vineyard-based sextet positively exudes energy and good vibes. The band has a big joyous sound that reflects its underlying flair as reggae, Latin and African rhythms find their way into a myriad of textures. Strong hooks are laced with great vocals and crisp guitar work but it's the band's rhythmic power and vocals that are its strong points. They demonstrate this in the 11-minute "Mother Street," which begins with an almost Bo Diddley beat before sauntering off into more complex textures. Other standouts on this vibrant album are the fast-paced "Dancing in the Light" and the infectious title cut with its jazz-meets-reggae groove."- Mick Skidmore, Relix Magazine Entrain has received tremendous radio airplay of their first single, "Tarbosh (Dancin' in the Light)," from the album Can U Get It, now the music for the current Sylvania Light Bulb commercial running on national television as of 12/04.Over the last few years, Entrain has received regular rotation on over 200 radio stations across the country.

While Rod Stewart has been a wimp for decades, and his latest attempts at being Frank Sinatra are pathetic, the rowdy spirit of the Faces lives on in the tough, bluesy, rock & roll swagger of Ian McLagan. Rise and Shine is his sixth album, and is easily his finest. First there's the band, composed of guitar slingers Gurf Morlix and Scrappy Jud Newcomb, bassist George Reiff, and drummer Don Harvey. Add Mac's rootsy keyboards, and selective backing vocals by Patty Griffin (paying Mac back, no doubt, for playing on her wondrous Impossible Dream album) and what you have is an unbeatable combination. There are 11 tracks here ranging from the strolling pub rock-drenched country soul of "Date With an Angel," the pumped up rock & roll of "You're My Girl," the bluesy piano roll and pop of "Been a Long Time," the shimmering late-night balladry of "Anytime," the Jerry Lee Lewis infused "Your Secret," the bottleneck slide guitar and piano torchiness of "Lying," to the stomping barroom rock of "Rubies in Her Hair," it's all raw, up front, in your face, rollicking greasy good-time music done by a master. Rise and Shine crackles with an energy that once was the lifeblood of all rock & roll. This is an album that belongs on the shelf next to the Faces' material to be sure, but also with Exile on Main St., Sticky Fingers, and Ronnie Lane's (rest in peace) Anymore for Anymore. Mac hasn't lost a degree of his edginess or ragged elegance: this set is smoking hot. ~ Thom Jurek

| | Status Quo Famous In The Last Century CD (2000) Bonus Tracks; England
Greatest Hits songs
$9.79
Status Quo has been one of England's finest rock & roll bands for years. As the groups has grown older and matured, Quo has softened its boogie tendencies and settled into a groove as a consistent rock band with a batch of great songs per album. This, the second Quo covers album in four years, is not one of those albums with great songs. Rather, Famous in the Last Century is an obvious cry for help, a musical suicide note if you will. Something is wrong in the Quo camp and the band needs to be rescued! How else can one account for awful renditions ...
