 (1 Customer Review)
Guitarist John Scofield joins forces with the funky-toned tenor saxophonist Eddie Harris for HAND JIVE, a tasty collection of slick, funky grooves that display Scofield at his swaggering best. The guitarist's signature twang gets the full treatment here as intricately rhythmic jaunts like "Dark Blue" find Scofield winding his solos up to frenzied assaults that grind deeper into the grooves with each passing chorus. Harris' featured spots include the tribute track "Do Like Eddie" which finds he and Scofield in perfect alignment with plenty of mutual admiration and spunk. Nowhere is the down-home New Orleans groove felt more dominantly that on the super funky "She's so Lucky," a track that couldn't be more gumbo-drenched if it had been blessed by Dr. John himself. Making significant contributions to the session are Scofield's regular sidemen Larry Goldings, Bill Stewart, and Dennis Irwin, each of who propel the thick grooves with as much authentic spice as they can muster. Organist Goldings, in particular, shines on the rolling "Golden Daze," which finds him in a distinctly Jimmy Smith-like mode with comping and soloing throughout. Other disc highlights include the romping "Whip the Mule" and the groovy swinger "Don't Shoot the Messenger."

John Scofield has turned the corner from journeyman jazz guitarist to become one of the most inventive and witty players on the contemporary scene. This date, his first for the Blue Note label, builds on a discography following several recordings for the Gramavision label, and also progresses this contemporary jazz music into an individualism that can only bode well for his future efforts. Teamed with the rising-star saxophonist Joe Lovano and the bulletproof rhythm team of bassist Charlie Haden and drummer Jack DeJohnette, Scofield is emerging as a player of distinction on the electric ...

This edition of BEST OF BOWIE will only be available 12.2.2003-3.31.2004.
Australian version features nine exclusive tracks: "Starman," "John, I'm Only Dancing," "Drive-In Saturday," "Sorrow," "Wild Is The Wind," "Boys Keep Swinging," "Loving The Alien," "Hallo Spaceboy" (Pet Shop Boys Remix), & "Little Wonder."
Ably serving as a substitute for the excellent but out-of-print collection BOWIE: THE SINGLES 1969-1993, the two-CD BEST OF BOWIE serves as an outstanding career-spanning retrospective featuring material from as recent as 2002. Above all reflecting the visionary aptitude of a restless creative genius who switched into different musical guises the way some people change suits, these 38 cuts trace David Bowie's path from space-rock folkie ("Space Oddity") and glam god ("Ziggy Stardust") to blue-eyed soulster ("Young ...

| | Bohren & Der Club Of Gore Geisterfaust CD (2005)
Hand Jive songs
$14.15
The doom rock card, the lounge jazz card, and the slow crawl card have all been played by various reviewers to describe Bohren & der Club of Gore's unique form of instrumental music. None of them has ever truly fit the band, and now even less than ever with Geisterfaust (Ghost Fist), their fourth effort, released three years after Black Earth. Even slower and more stripped down than before, the music loses its doom-laden atmosphere and becomes something eerily similar to the Necks' then-recent efforts, namely Aether and Mosquito/See Through. The stretches of silence, the resonating chords, the cyclical melodic developments, and the paradoxical atmosphere of tension (what will happen next?) and relaxation (it is, after all, extremely smooth music, no need to be so tense) all point to the Australian trio a thousand times more than anyone on the roster of Ipecac, the label that reissued Black Earth to worldwide attention a year before Geisterfaust came out. Then again, people ...
| | Kevin Waara Horseplay CD (2007)
Hand Jive album
$12.65
Kevin Waara started making records in 1972. He was quite fortunate at this time to meet Don Grashey, a much accomplished and highly respected record producer/ music mogul. Kevin and Don began an artist/ producer arrangement which lasted 10 years harvesting several recording dates. One such session resulted in a single titled "Sweet Lorene" released to Canadian and selected U.S. radio stations. The song earned a Recommended Pick Hit nod in the major U.S. trade publication Billboard Magazine, June 1974. The first ever single Kevin recorded and released was a cover of 2 Elvis Presley nuggets, "Anything That's Part of You" and "One-Sided Love Affair". In 1980 Kevin recorded an album titled Breakthrough at Woodland Sound Studios in Nashville, Tennessee. This resulted in 4 nationally charted singles ...
