| | Stan Getz Imported From Europe CD Stan Getz Discography of CDs
After marrying Swedish aristocrat Monica Silfverskiold in late 1956, Stan Getz spent the remainder of the decade living and working on the Scandinavian Peninsula. Recorded in 1959 with local players including pianist Bengt Hallberg, tenor saxman Erik Nordstrom, baritonist Lars Gullin and trombonist Ake Persson as well as expatriate American trumpeter Benny Bailey, Imported from Europe channels the frosty ambience of its geographic origins to create one of Getz's most evocative efforts -- a decisively modern and cerebral session, it's nevertheless humanized by the warm, rich tone of Getz's tenor sax. While the majority of the music spotlights standards including "They Can't Take That Away from Me" and "Like Someone in Love," it's the two originals -- Lars Gullin's "Stockholm Street" and Bengt Hallberg's concluding "Bengt's Blues" -- that prove most impressive, boasting a style and sophistication that are inextricably tied to their Swedish DNA. ~ Jason Ankeny

How a good-looking Jewish boy from Brooklyn discovered the secret of success in an updated form of mariachi music is perhaps beyond our scope. Then again, it might not be such a mystery after all. Aside from the obvious example of exotica, much easy listening depends upon more than a touch of ethnicity to maintain its musical roots. What Herb Alpert found in Mexican street bands was a previously untapped source of south-of-the-border melody and rhythm. With its unlikely combination of Alpert's cool Chet Baker-like trumpet and the blocky cadences of a marching band, the Tijuana Brass produced a lively, colorful mix that ...

| | John Sheridan Dream Band, Make Me Dream Some More CD (1999)
Imported From Europe music CDs
$13.39
Every one of the 17 tracks from pianist Sheridan and his little big band refers to the REM state whilst sleeping, and the images one's brain conjures. But don't think this is sleepy time music, it's swing era-styled jazz done in the now. Sheridan is joined by brassmen Randy Reinhart and Dan Barrett, reedmen Brian Ogilvie and Ron Hockett, guitarist Reuben Ristrom, bassist Phil Flanigan, drummer Jeff Hamilton, and on five tracks vocalist Rebecca Kilgore. Some of the more outstanding instrumental music heard here occurs on the upswung, counterpoint drenched "Dream a Little Dream of Me," and the short solo laden "When My Dreamboat Comes Home." These exemplify the band having as much fun with these tunes as possible. Sheridan arranged the pieces, and he somewhat modifies a few, taking the lead himself on "I'll See You in My Dreams" while the punchy horns follow, adopting an Ellington jungle stance for "Sleep, Come on and Take Me," again with Dixie type rapport with the horns, and adding lilt with clarinet and sax to "I've Got a Pocketful of Dreams." Many ensemblites get a feature, as guitarist Ristrom does for his solid block chords and arresting solo on "Dreamsville," Ogilvie's tenor joining Sheridan for the ballad "Deep in a Dream," and Reinhart's trumpet brimming with colors on "I Had the Craziest Dream," ...

| | Cowboy Nation Cowgirl A-Go-Go CD (2002)
Imported From Europe album
$8.89
Although Cowboy Nation has received good press, it isn't the type of band that calls a lot of attention to itself. Instead, Chip and Tony Kinman have followed their low-key muse, singing old cowboy songs with spare accompaniment, crafting a sound that evokes the past without seeming passé. Like the band's first two albums, Cowgirl A-Go-Go features Tony Kinman's deep, straightforward lead supported by a steady bass and mostly acoustic guitars. Chip Kinman adds harmony and lead guitar work. The slow, steady pulse of "Dollar a Day" and "Good Old Days" is mesmerizing, ...
