Whisper album
 $18.05 
An epic modern suite deeply rooted in Iranian musical traditions, Night Silence Desert seeks to unite East and West, past and present, to create a new sound for the country's future. Composed by multi-instrumentalist Kayhan Kalhor, the album features a stellar ensemble of Iranian folk and classical musicians supporting the soul-stirring melodies of legendary vocalist Mohammad Reza Shadjarian, whose lyrics juxtapose the centuries-old poetry of Baba Taher with contemporary lyrics. This fusionist approach is especially effective on songs like "Saz Va Avaz," where haunting droning notes that create an air of unrest are offset by Kalhor's hypnotic solos and Shadjarian's passionate ode to an enticing woman "whose unmade eyes vie with kohl-rimmed ones." On instrumental numbers like "Desert Night" and the intro to "Rain," soloists like santur master Ardavan Kamkar and ney virtuoso Behzad Forouhadi step forward, their dazzling melodic runs thrusting their talents into the spotlight. Together, they help to create a transcendent sound that perfectly evokes the ...

There is something particularly captivating about Vilayat Khan's sitar voicings. His alluringly playful style is thick with deep and subtle variations. His rendering of the much recorded late-morning raga Bhairavi combines the tranquil depth of classical interpretations ...
| | Bill Frisell Blues Dream CD (2001)
Whisper music CDs
$14.79  
BLUES DREAM is another in a series of guitarist Bill Frisell's painterly, roots-inflected explorations of American music. Here, Frisell is joined by a horn section which includes trumpeter Ron Miles and trombonist Curtis Fowlkes (of the Jazz Passengers), and the sound of hard brass in the mix crisply offsets his idiosyncratic, bent-note, impresssionistic techniques. Actually, the guitarist gets off more than a few rock-licks on the R&B jam "Ron Carter," a tribute to the bassist that, interestingly, sounds nothing like the elder jazzman's own music. Frisell returns to a more familiar pastures on "Pretty Flowers Were ...

Whisper album
$14.89
The Persian and Kurdish musical traditions are neighbors, but rarely meet. But in this case they've come together spectacularly in the hands of two Iranians. Kayhan Kalhor (Ghazal, Master of Persian Music) is a remarkable performer on the kamancheh, or traditional spike fiddle, while Ali Akbar Moradi is a master of the lute-like tanbur. While the tanbur has long been associated with the Yarsan people of Western Iran, and its Ahl-e Haqq faith, Moradi has given it secular exposure. Here, in fact, with Kalhor, he explores the traditional tanbur repertoire of the Yarsan, the two (along with drummer Pejman Hadadi) fashioning wonderful improvisations on Yanbur themes. There's an instinctive communication between the musicians that creates a tension and a palpable magic (just listen to the filigree that's "Gel-e Darreh-foroud," for example). Both have the technique and imagination to carry this off in style. It's more than full of Eastern promise; it's an absolute delight to ...
| | Bebo & Cigala Lagrimas Negras CD (2004)
Whisper CD music
$8.99 
Lágrimas Negras (Black Tears) is a collaborative effort between the octogenarian Cuban piano master Bebo Valdés and the reigning Spanish flamenco cantador, Dieguito El Cigala. Recorded for Fernando Trueba and Nat Chediak's Calle 54 label, the sessions took place in Madrid between September and December 2002. Maestro Valdés (born in 1918), the father of the jazz pianist Chucho, has a long history as an innovator in Cuban music. He recorded the first Afro-Cuban jazz session in 1952, and was a tutor to the great bandleader Beny Moré, writing early charts for him. Valdés is also a world-class arranger. Dieguito El Cigala was born in 1960, and has become the undisputed king of Spain's flamenco singers. This recording features nine tracks that meld together cooking son, jazz, Afro-Caribbean, and flamenco rhythms, in tunes by composers such as Lolita de la Colina, Virgilio and Homero Expósito, Ramón Perelló, the grand team of Tom Jobim and Vinícius de Moraes, Caetano Veloso (who makes a guest appearance), Maria Teresa Vera, Miguel Matamoros (who composed the title track), and others. Most are Cuban ballads. Guests such as Veloso, Paquito D'Rivera, Pancho Terry, Tata Güines, and El Niño Josele fall by on different tracks. And while the tunes are top-shelf and the guests make this a very special and historic occasion, it is the unusual dynamic and the integrity with which it is employed that makes this set so unique. Valdés' style ...

Not every song on Sony Music Special Products' Rock Classics qualifies as a "rock classic," but most of the songs fit squarely into the "classic rock" tradition -- really, that's the only thing tying Blood Sweat & Tears ("And When I Die"), the Edgar Winter Group ("Free Ride"), the Byrds ("Turn! Turn! Turn!"), Carlos Santana ("Them Changes"), Mott the Hoople ("All the Young Dudes"), Mountain ("Mississippi Queen"), Electric Flag ("Groovin' Is Easy"), Poco ("A Good Feelin' to Know"), Argent ("Hold ...
| | Joe Cocker! CD (1969) Reissue
Whisper album
$12.35
As on WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS, it is the more restrained material that revealed most about Cocker's interpretative talents; sensitive readings of Cohen's "Bird On A Wire" and John Sebastian's "Darlin' Be Home Soon" are particularly impressive. But thanks to the dense, chunky production by Leon Russell, the rockers satisfy as well, making JOE COCKER! one of Cocker's best and a precursor to the popular pub rock of the '70s.
Still riding high on the American success of his debut album and show-stopping appearance at the Woodstock festival, Joe Cocker hastily ...
