Although the theme of this CD is ostensibly supposed to be nostalgia for Harlem, the music (which includes the "Amos N'Andy Theme") actually has little to do with the subject. However Bartz (who is heard on alto and soprano) is in fine form playing with a top-notch quartet that also includes pianist Larry Willis, bassist Buster Williams and drummer Ben Riley. The hard-bop oriented music includes a few standards (including "Tico Tico" and "Crazy She Calls me") and three originals by either Bartz or Willis. It's not essential but enjoyable. ~ Scott Yanow
Personnel: Gary Bartz (alto & soprano saxophones); Larry Willis (piano); Buster Williams (bass); Ben Riley (drums).

Long one of the top arrangers in jazz, Bob Florence contributed seven inventive charts to five of his originals and two standards on this swinging, yet often complex, set and also takes "Never Let Me Go" as a sensitive piano solo. "Dukeisms," a lengthy piece commissioned to celebrate Duke Ellington's 100th birthday in 1999, has quotes from five Ellington pieces. Other selections include the cooking blues "Nerve Endings" (highlighted by Carl ...

First off, these "Lost Sessions" were never actually lost. The music here was supposed to be released as the Stan Getz Quartet's first issue on A&M, and for the usual record company reasons, it was shelved instead. The tapes were in the vault and catalogs, so it's not like they were found in someone's closet. The bottom line ...

What does a bass player do when he's recording an album as a leader? Surely not an hour's worth of bass solos! Ray Brown solved the bass player's dilemma with a series of recordings under the Some of My Best Friends Are... heading. This 1998 release is the third in the series, following the earlier Some of My Best Friends Are...Piano Players and Some of My Best Friends Are...Sax Players, and it's a gem. Featuring a sextet of fine vocalists, ranging from the well-established ...

Episode One Children Of Harlem CD music
$12.49
There is a dreamy-eyed wonder about Herb Alpert's debut album. Within its Latin-esque affectations, the album is a moodily romantic concoction of easy listening and progressive sounds. "El Lobo" is a portrait of love's sorrow, tenderly painted with trumpets, guitars, and ghostly vocal choruses. "The Lonely Bull" is cinematic, with imagery of bullfights vividly implied by the opening sound effects of a roaring crowd. The deep electric guitar sounds like the Ventures, a popular 1960s instrumental rock group.
Even at the outset, Alpert's style has the elements that he carried with him over the succeeding years. There's a preference for solid and dominant percussion and tempos, making all his work specifically geared for the dancing set. The Mexican melodies lend a cross-cultural vitality that was to persist in the trumpeter's work.
The colossus that is A&M Records starts right here with the first album by the 1960s instrumental juggernaut known as the Tijuana Brass. True, there was no "Tijuana Brass" per se at this time; just Herb Alpert and a coterie of Los Angeles ...

Episode One Children Of Harlem CD music

Spinning Lucy is a Philadelphia-based pop/rock group that got its start in the fall of 2004. Will Roberts, a recent transplant from Northern Virginia, posted a musicians wanted notice on a local website looking for musicians who shared the same passion for writing and performing original music. The group formed quickly around Roberts with Doug Johns on drums, and after a short bout of trial and error became a unit with the addition of Brian Pylant on guitars and vocals and Dave Lash on bass. Armed initially with songs from Roberts’ previous band, Spinning Lucy began gigging incessantly around the Philadelphia area. In the following months and years the group began to combine their individual influences into a coherent sound that the band could call its own. Influences from the ’70s such as Big Star and Cheap Trick abound as well as modern day influences such as Fountains of Wayne and Jimmy Eat World. But the cohesive sound of the band is Spinning Lucy’s alone. As the primary lyricist of the group, Roberts’ lyrics tackle topics from love to ...
