This is Lester Bowie's first album credited to his ensemble Brass Fantasy. The nine-piece group opens with its reinterpretation of the title song, a pop classic, which serves as a wonderful introduction to the five originals that follow. Bowie's music and playing has always matched impassioned soulfulness with knee-slapping humor, and this set is no exception.
The bottom end is provided by tuba player Bob Stewart, his parts often combining subtly and beautifully with the trombones and French horn (in fact, Stewart's own composition, "Nonet," specifically explores these low register possibilities). Bowie himself wrote the syncopated "Come Back, Jamaica" and the reverential "When the Spirit Returns." I ONLY HAVE EYES FOR YOU is a wonderful introduction to this outfit, which went on to make a name for itself based primarily on its bright and inventive covers.
Recorded at Rawlston Recording Studios, Brooklyn, New York in February 1985.
Lester Bowie's Brass Fantasy: Lester Bowie (trumpet); Stanton Davis (trumpet, flugelhorn); Malachi Thompson, Bruce Purse (trumpet); Craig Harris, Steve Turre (trombone); Vincent Chancey (French horn); Bob Stewart (tuba); Phillip Wilson (drums).

I Only Have Eyes For You CD music
$11.89
This final outing by Lester Bowie's pet project, the Brass Fantasy, was recorded in 1997 as the second of two albums to come from six days of studio sessions. As is typical of Bowie, he chose -- via the critical and aesthetic sensibilities his 15-year-old daughter -- a program of pop, jazz, and R&B hits, most of them coming from the artists of the era: Notorious B.I.G., Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, Bob Marley, Babyface, India Arie, and others. The Brass Fantasy manifesto was always to record popular music as part of the historical notion ...
| | Tomasz Stanko Suspended Night CD (2004)
I Only Have Eyes For You music CDs
$14.59  
When Tomasz Stanko first started working with a trio of Polish teenagers in 1994 -- Marcin Wasilewski, piano; Slawomir Kurkiewicz, bass; Michal Miskiewicz, drums -- on film projects and live gigs inside his native land, he might have glimpsed, but surely never fully conceived of, the sound that the quartet's relationship would offer a decade later. Suspended Night, on ECM, follows the ...

| | Enrico Rava Tati CD (2005)
I Only Have Eyes For You CD music
$14.99
Enrico Rava's restrained trumpet playing has been regarded in modern times as perfectly reflective of the ECM sound. It is wrapped in European classical music while displaying a lyricism that goes beyond strict tonality, reaching for a soulful arena that only he can claim in the post-Miles Davis era. The emerging pianist Stefano Bollani joins Rava and veteran drummer Paul ...
| | Keiko Matsui Dream Walk CD (1996) Bonus Tracks
I Only Have Eyes For You music CDs
$8.99 
Derek Nakamoto (keyboards, synthesizer, bass, programming); Bernie Dresel (drums, percussion); Rob Chiarelli (programming).
Taking a stroll through Keiko Matsui's musical hypnotherapy session Dream Walk is like entering a funhouse where all previous definitions of contemporary jazz are strikingly distorted, and invention walks on the wild side of East meets West. Crisp melodies have always been at the heart of the keyboardist's best work, only here they come at you as part of the mood, rather than the central theme. Only a handful of the keyboardist's tunes follow conventional linear melodic patterns throughout, and even these are so beautifully enhanced by sweeping orchestral and percussive invention that atmosphere and throbbing, raw twists ultimately win out over predictability. Equal credit for the newly aggressive approach goes to husband/producer Kazu Matsui, whose sonic wizardry surrounds Keiko's silky jazz and new age ...
