This 72-minute CD starts off with one of the underrated gems of the 1960s, an exciting matchup by tenors Sonny Stitt and Paul Gonsalves. Other than the brief throwaway "Theme from Lord of the Flies" (producer Bob Thiele's idea), this is very much a jam session set, with "Salt and Pepper" being a heated medium-tempo blues and the two competitive tenors stretching out on "S'posin'" and a lengthy "Perdido." Actually, the most memorable selection from the date is the one on which Stitt switches to alto, "Stardust." His beautiful playing behind Gonsalves' warm melody statement raises the session to the classic level. Also included on this consistently exciting CD is a Sonny Stitt quartet set originally titled Now! Although Stitt (doubling on alto and tenor) recorded scores of quartet sessions, he sounds particularly inspired here, especially on such offbeat material as "Estralita," the Dixieland standard "Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone," and "My Mother's Eyes." Highly recommended to bebop and straight-ahead jazz fans. ~ Scott Yanow

Greetings From Cairo, Illinois is a concept/historical album about this obscure, remarkable town. The project is a culmination of five years of research, hundreds of conversations and "countless hours of general hanging around" in what England describes as "the most fascinating town in America, bar none." The CD traces Cairo's history from 1858 to the present through the Civil War, lynchings, the blues years, civil rights struggles and spectacular decline. England is joined on the CD by top musicians from southern Illinois, Los Angeles and Nashville including alt-country legend Jason Ringenberg of Jason and the Scorchers, and Gnashville Sounds label mates Gutter Swans.“Top Ten Albums of 2005”Greil Marcus - THE VILLAGE VOICE CRITICS POLL“Pick Hit”Robert Christgau’s Consumer Guide - THE VILLAGE VOICE“Singer-songwriter Stace England's mesmerizing song cycle about political tensions Downstate ranks right up there with Sufjan Stevens' cult hit disc "Illinois." - CHICAGO SUN TIMES “These eleven audio post cards tell of the rise and fall of one town doomed by floods and prejudice, and proceed to rock us right into the present.” - NO DEPRESSION “All in all, think Johnny Horton's 1959 classic Johnny Horton Makes History, gussied up for postmodern times, and retooled for the 21st century.” - POP CULTURE PRESS "England wasn't just some fly by night troubadour trying to profit from Cairo's woes.

In "The River", harpist Karen Almquist and flutist Jennifer Grady bring you a wonderful inspirational blend of Sacred, Classical, Traditional Folk, and Contemporary melodies which will fill you with peace.

| | Go Team Proof Of Youth CD (2007)
Salt & Pepper
$12.95
The Go! Team: Ninja (vocals); Sam Dook (banjo); Kaori Tsuchida (glockenspiel); Jamie Bell (bass guitar); Chi "Ky" Fukami Taylor, Ian Parton (drums).
Additional personnel: The Double Dutch Divas, Fierce Allstars, Robin Pridy, The Rapper's Delight Club, Amina N., Niya F., Jolyn C., Felton A., Gary Kavanagh, DJ Manipulate, Ben Somers, Myriam Megharbi, Marina Vello, Bob Dowell, Joe Auckland, Elisabeth Esselink, Chuck D.
PROOF OF YOUTH took nearly four years to complete after the Go! Team's brilliant, genre-splicing 2004 debut, THUNDER LIGHTNING STRIKE, and it sounds as if the British indie-dance collective was working away at it the entire time. The Go! Team's music on PROOF OF YOUTH, as on its predecessor, is an instantly intoxicating blend of Phil Spector-style pop, Stereolab-derived Krautrock, bossa nova influences, scrappy indie guitar rock, and R&B diva vocals out of the Kanye West production playbook. Highlights include the electro-pop pastiche "I Never Needed It Now So Much" and the irresistible dance frenzy of the first single "Grip Like A Vice." Hugely entertaining.
The Go! Team burst onto the indie scene a couple years ago like the proverbial breath of fresh air. Their music, built on samples of schoolyard chants and TV theme rockers, made most everything else sound gray and a little timid in comparison. Thunder, Lightning, Strike, their debut album, was a brilliant record and Proof of Youth can't help but suffer when stacked up against it. Indeed, it might take a spin or two before you can shake the feeling that you're listening to outtakes from Thunder, Lightning, Strike, but once you do, the album reveals itself to be another, though slightly lesser, stroke of greatness. Rather that relying heavily on samples this time out, bandleader Ian Parton goes with a live band approach with samples blended in. It results in a slightly more organic sound, but one that's still recognizably the Go! Team. Meaning that the master tapes were dragged behind a car for a couple of miles, then dipped in wool, and left out to melt in the hot August sun. The resulting tinny and muddy mess may be enough to give audiophiles the hives, but to anyone ...
