| | Gavin Bryars Sinking Of The Titanic CD (1995)
Bernstein On Jazz
$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 character as the image of an undersea orchestra takes form. ...
| | Audience With Betty Carter CDs (1980)
Bernstein On Jazz
$18.75 
For Betty Carter, songs are vehicles for her talent. If something doesn't fit her conception of how her performance should be, then she changes it. Nothing is sacred; and yet, somehow, nothing is profaned. Standards from the Great American Songbook are reworked with seemingly dismissive ease.
The album title is significant: woe betide any audience that risks not being "with" Betty Carter. In command, on display, this ...
| | Eddie & Ernie Lost Friends CD (2002)
Bernstein On Jazz
$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 for the first time here). It's difficult to say exactly who will ...

Bernstein On Jazz
$9.99 
Over the course of seven albums, Trace Adkins mined a musical territory between new traditionalism and contemporary commercial country. 2006's DANGEROUS MAN finds him leaning toward the latter part of that equation, with no loss of his down-home, 10-gallon bite. The album's lead-off single, "Swing," is a case in point. Fueled by boogie-rock electric guitar, a thumping backbeat, and sing-along choruses, the tune is glossy and anthemic, owing more to Lynyrd Skynyrd than to Hank Williams.
When not flexing his rock muscles, Adkins shows his skill with emotive, mid-tempo balladry ("Words Get in the Way") designed to fit seamlessly on MTV playlists. But where Adkins's music leaves tradition behind for the mainstream, its country heart beats in the right place: baseball, patriotism, and good-ol'-boy pastimes like drinking, driving, and loving are the themes on hand. Adkins also has a way with an infectious hook, and he carries these beautifully with his resonant baritone. Fans of Adkins, and of contemporary country in general, won't be disappointed with DANGEROUS MAN.
