Steve Reich: Tehillim
 $10.89 
Selections recorded in Le Château d'Eau, Borges, France; Westleton Church, Suffolk, England; and DAT Studios, Cricklewood, London.
One of the two works for which composer Gavin Bryars is best known (the other being "Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet"), his epochal "The Sinking of the Titanic" had been recorded three times in the 25 years since its creation. The first, for Brian Eno's Obscure label, was a landmark recording, but went swiftly out of print and became a much sought after collector's item, while the third, a relatively bland performance on Point, was widely distributed in the late '90s. In between, on the independent Belgian label Les Disques du Crepuscule, Bryars recorded what is possibly the definitive version though again, it is a difficult disc to locate. The composition is an attempt to metaphorically replicate the disaster of 1912 utilizing various elements associated with it, including the songs and hymns reported played on board that evening both before the iceberg was struck and as the ship was sinking. It's structured as an "open" piece, in that material subsequently uncovered may be added and information that becomes discredited may be discarded. The overall mood is, befittingly, sub-aqueous with long sustained tones on the strings, bass clarinet, and horn written to give the impression of sounds traveling great distances beneath the sea. This album was recorded in a large, abandoned water tower that adds enormously to its reverberative nature. The hymns used (particularly "Autumn," which modern listeners will recognize as being very similar to "Amazing Grace") take on a remarkably plaintive and ethereal ...
| | Eddie & Ernie Lost Friends CD (2002)
Steve Reich: Tehillim
$15.15 
Includes recordings originally released on Eastern, Columbia, Buddah, Checker, and Revue.
Eddie & Ernie's discography is quite a diaspora, spanning about a decade, 15 singles, almost as many labels, and some releases under names other than Eddie & Ernie. This CD does an admirable job of pulling together 24 tracks (seven of them previously unissued) from their disperse output, forming a good though not great collection of punchy period soul with good harmonizing. It doesn't matter a great deal, but a few of the cuts weren't billed to Eddie & Ernie: there's a 1963 Eddie & Ernie single, both sides of a 1967 single by Ernie Johnson, one side of a 1967 45 by Eddie Campbell, a 1964 side they did under the name the New Bloods, a previously unreleased early-'70s number by their early-'70s group Phoenix Express, and a 1962 single by Little Worley and the Drops on which the pair sang backup. Unsurprisingly, the stylistic range is wide enough that it's difficult to summarize. Eddie & Ernie sang deep soul-styled songs that might appeal to fans of Sam & Dave, but they also did some lusher, poppier close-harmonized duos that wouldn't have been alien to the studios of Detroit, Chicago, or Philadelphia. They lacked a stunning or distinctive style, but they were good at what they did, particularly when they emphasized the downcast side of soul music, as on the agonized laments "Falling Tears (Indian Drums)," "I'm a Young Man," "Lost Friends," or the only slightly brighter mid-tempo brooder "I'm Gonna Always Love You." They also did fairly accomplished, riff-driven pop-dance-soul on "We Try Harder" and "That's the Way It Is," early-'70s sweet soul on their 1971 Buddah single "Standing at the Crossroads," and even a credible if unlikely soul cover of Bob Dylan's "Lay Lady Lay" (issued ...
| | Paul Motian Bill Evans: Tribute To The Great Post-Bop Pianist CD (1990) (Import) Japan
Steve Reich: Tehillim
$16.55 
BILL EVANS is a tribute to drummer Paul Motian's early 1960's employer, one that highlights Bill Evans--one of the most lyrical, impressionistic pianists in jazz history--as composer. Featuring guitarist Bill Frisell at his most straight-ahead, former Evans bassist Marc Johnson, and the hearty tenor sax of Joe Lovano, BILL EVANS is an affectionate but inventive homage. It's a brilliant, inspired, and subtly swinging collection.

| | Ginger Baker's Air Force CD (1970)
Steve Reich: Tehillim
$13.09 
Reissue of the acclaimed drummer's 1970 post Cream project, recorded live at the Royal Albert Hall. He is joined by many special guests here including, Steve Winwood, Rick Grech, Chris Wood, Denny Laine, Graham Bond & more.
For a change, the late 1960s yielded up a supergroup that lived up to its hype and then some. Ginger Baker's Air Force was recorded live at Royal Albert Hall in January of 1970 -- in fact, this may be the best-sounding live album ever to come out of that notoriously difficult venue -- at a show that must have been a wonder to watch, as the ten-piece band blazed away in sheets of sound, projected delicate flute parts behind multi-layered African percussion, or built their songs up Bolero-like, out of rhythms from a single instrument into huge jazz-cum-R&B crescendos. Considering that this was only their second gig, the group sounds astonishingly tight, which greatly reduces the level of self-indulgence that one would expect to find on an album where five of the eight tracks run in excess of ten minutes. There aren't too many wasted notes or phrases in the 78 minutes of music included here, and Steve Winwood's organ, Baker, Phil Seamen, and Remi Kabaka's drums, and the sax playing by Chris Wood, Graham Bond (on alto), and Harold McNair, all stand out, especially the sax trio's interwoven playing on "Don't Care." Additionally, Denny Laine plays louder, flashier, more virtuoso-level guitar than he ever got to turn in with the Moody Blues, bending notes in exquisite fashion in the opening of Air Force's rendition of the Cream standard "Toad," crunching away on rhythm elsewhere, and indulging in some more introspective blues for "Man of Constant Sorrow." The original CD reissue, which sounded pretty good, was deleted in the early '90s, but this album has been remastered again and repackaged ...
