Tenderfoot is a beautiful album from Without Gravity, full of slow, loping rural grooves and spectrally pretty vocals from lead singer Kalli (just Kalli). On this debut LP the Icelandic group explores the same expansively ethereal, uncluttered terrain that Irishman Damien Rice explored on his debut, O, but with a bit more of an alt-country bent at times. In "Beautiful Son" -- which moves along at a laid-back acoustic groove, Kalli's gorgeous, jazzy vocals floating atop it all -- the prettiness is in the hushed spaces. "Country," with its bright peals of acoustic slide and (relatively) upbeat shuffle, could be an outtake from Ryan Adams' Heartbreaker. In fact, the aforementioned albums, Heartbreaker and O, are good reference points for understanding the hushed beauty of the aptly monikered Without Gravity; it's all about acoustic grooves, barely grazed percussion, and pretty, pretty vocals on this enchantingly atmospheric album. This LP, recorded primarily live in the studio -- with few alterations -- is packed with tunes for the beautifully downtrodden. ~ Erik Hage

The soundtrack album to Rick Ray's stirring documentary about the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader befits the subject matter. Revered new age pianist Peter Kater creates 10 beds of synthesizer lushness, over which hovers cello (from the equally respected David Darling), flute (R. Carlos Nakai), and genuine Tibetan lama Tulku Orgyen's chanting. The music haunts, even without the film's inspiring visuals

Combining jazz and European classical music is not something new. Duke Ellington, James P. Johnson, and Louis Armstrong were influenced by classical music in the 1920s, and the third stream movement of the 1950s was all about fusing jazz and classical. Nonetheless, jazz/classical fusion still has many possibilities in the 21st century, and acoustic pianist Simon Mulligan examines some of them on The Piano Music of Alexis Weissenberg. Recorded in 2001, this excellent CD finds Mulligan turning his attention to the work of composer Alexis Weissenberg. The age difference between Mulligan and Weissenberg is sizable; while Weissenberg was born in 1929, Mulligan wasn't born until the 1970s. In other words, Weissenberg is old enough to be Mulligan's grandfather. But the age difference didn't prevent the musicians from enjoying one another's company. Weissenberg was present in the studio when this album was recorded, and Mulligan obviously has a strong feeling for his music. Mulligan plays with a great deal of emotion on Weissenberg pieces such as "Le Regret" and the 30-minute "Sonate en Etat de Jazz," both of which remind us just how appealing a combination jazz and classical can be. Mulligan's haunting, evocative performances are not aimed at purists -- not jazz purists, not classical purists. Rather, The Piano Music of Alexis Weissenberg favors a musical hybrid that has one foot in jazz and the other in European classical. It is a combination that offers considerable rewards, but only if you are broad-minded enough to realize that jazz and classical -- for all their differences -- are equally valid. Anyone who has spent a lot of time savoring the Modern Jazz Quartet or the experiments of Gunther Schuller should not have a problem absorbing The Piano Music of Alexis Weissenberg. ~ Alex Henderson
