| | Roy Rubenstein Shout 'Em! CD Roy Rubenstein Discography of CDs
Trombonist Roy Rubenstein's Chicago Hot 6, which has been in existence in the Chicago area since 1979, is an excellent pianoless trad sextet. The repertoire on their Delmark debut includes a few standards, but actually emphasizes little-known numbers -- including "Saratoga Swing," Duke Ellington's "Shout 'Em Aunt Tillie," "S'il Vous Plait" and "Blessed Quietness" -- with plenty of passionate, yet relaxed ensembles (nothing over a medium tempo). Each of the soloists, who include cornetist Bob Nabors and clarinetist Norrie Cox, are excellent within the boundaries of traditional jazz, and Katherine Davis (whose warm voice sometimes recalls Jeannie Cheatham) contributes occasional vocals that fit into the spirit of the joyful style. The music is not flawless -- there are a few hesitant moments, and Cox occasionally slips out of tune -- but overall, this is an enjoyable set. ~ Scott Yanow

Michael Buble's third major US release (including the mostly live COME FLY WITH ME) stays on message--this young Canadian loves the lush, swaying music of his parents' and grandparents' generations. Buble's albums, however, are much more than mere back-in-the-day exercises. The production and arranging of David Foster (Celine Dion, Josh Groban) is eclectic in a way that firmly places the tunes at the dawn of the 21st century, and, more importantly, Buble possesses the chops and sense ...

Shout 'Em! album
$15.29
Most jazz aficionados will rank Anita O'Day as one the very best vocalists that the genre had to offer in the 1940s and 1950s. Her satiny tone, natural sense of rhythm, and improvisational skills placed her alongside the elite voices of the day. Manhattan Transfer's Cheryl Bentyne recognizes O'Day's vocal contributions by paying tribute to the singer on her second Telarc Jazz release, Let Me Off Uptown. For those familiar with both O'Day and Bentyne, the pairing of the vocalists is practically ideal as Bentyne's technical skills, phrasing, and tone are often reminiscent of O'Day's in her earlier and best works. This is most apparent with Bentyne's version of "Pick Yourself Up." The ease with which she playfully recites the lyrics is haunted by O'Day's delivery, but it is not imitation. Bentyne simply, yet skillfully, sings the song unadorned by any vocal acrobatics and the result is a tasteful performance that allows a listener to not only relax and enjoy the vocalist, but also appreciate the melody of this Jerome Kern/Dorothy Fields classic. That natural gift is what O'Day gave to a great song, and Bentyne has acquired the same ability. If there is a difference, it is that Bentyne has a gentler approach to a melody, especially on ballads like "Skylark" or the gorgeous ...

Every track on ZIGGY STARDUST & THE SPIDERS FROM MARS sounds like it was pulled from the rock 'n' roll bible. The album created a mythology that reached beyond the Chuck Berry folklorisms of the everyday rocker to create a new type of rock star. With ZIGGY, Bowie created a viable alter-ego to descend onto the planet and wreak havoc on rock's fertile soil. In doing so, he created the most original rock creation since the music's inception 20 years before.
Musically, the album was as inspired as Ziggy's persona. Mick Ronson's snarling guitar evoked the triumphant power of the late '60s guitar heroes, but added a flash so dynamic fans knew why the Spiders were labelled "glitter rockers." As an album, ZIGGY STARDUST told the story of rock through the eyes of Ziggy, an alien--with a narrative that was equally sensational and intimate.
Any doubts as to Bowie's intentions to take over rock ...
