| | Charlie Ventura Live At The Three Deuces, 1947 CD Charlie Ventura Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
Charlie Ventura and Bill Harris made their mark among fellow jazz musicians but both died in obscurity. The reappearance of these historic live performances from 1947 are important parts of their discography, most of them transcribed by collector Jerry Newman during gigs at the Three Deuces. Unlike 78 rpm discs of the era, the musicians get a chance to stretch out at length. Ventura's boppish tenor sax shows the influence of swingers like Coleman Hawkins and Ben Webster, yet he is clearly speaking a new language on the instrument. Harris is a bit more economical with his notes but no less effective an improviser. The rhythm section features pianist/arranger Ralph Burns, bassist Bob Leininger and the tragic but gifted drummer Dave Tough. While this isn't a complete compilation of their material from this period, it represents most of the highlights. Highly recommended. ~ Ken Dryden

Singer/composer Michael Gira's 1980s band Swans, with their considerable darkness/bleakness quotient, were perhaps the only outfit that could make Joy Division and Leonard Cohen sound practically jolly. Gira's Angels of Light project, however, is another matter entirely. While the Angels' music is still somewhat grim in lyrical content and vocal timbre, the overwhelmingly intense Swans-like approach has largely given way to a bittersweet melodic presentation. The autumnal, reflective tone is enhanced by Gira's neo-folk proteges Akron/Family, who serve as the backing band.
The title THE ANGELS OF LIGHT SING "OTHER PEOPLE" refers not to other songwriters, but rather songs about particular people who've inspired/affected Gira in one way or ...

Recorded between 1965 and 1967. Includes liner notes by Bob Blumenthal.
This compilation focuses on an often-overlooked aspect of the legendary Brazilian composer's career: his own recordings. Jobim changed the face of Brazilian music, and pop music in general, by pioneering bossa nova, a genre that fused the Brazilian samba with a jazzy harmonic sensibility and the melodic constructions of American pop composers like Cole Porter and George Gershwin. His songs have been recorded by such American giants as Frank Sinatra and Stan Getz, as well as Brazilians like Astrud & Joao Gilberto. Jobim's own recording career has garnered far less attention than his songs. But these mid-'60s sides show that ...
| | Heart Dreamboat Annie (1st LP) CD (1976)
Live At The Three Deuces, 1947 songs
$8.85
All songs written or co-written by Ann Wilson and Nancy Wilson.
This is a limited edition "Album Replica" CD of DREAMBOAT ANNIE specially packaged to simulate the original LP design with gatefold sleeve.
Heart's 1976 album, DREAMBOAT ANNIE, is easily one of the '70s best rock debuts. Led by two sisters, singer Ann and guitarist Nancy Wilson, who combined the mystical folk of Joni Mitchell with the heavy metal stomp of Led Zeppelin, the album spawned several hits that have become classic rock radio staples over the years.
Both "Magic Man" and "Crazy on You" are red hot rockers (the former is an autobiographical tale from Ann), while the title track is more subdued. DREAMBOAT ANNIE showed the largely male-dominated '70s rock world that the Wilson sisters could rock every bit as hard as ...

Live At The Three Deuces, 1947 music CDs
$13.85
Drummer T.S. Monk, whose original background was in R&B, recorded a series of high-quality hard bop releases with his sextet in the 1990s, plus tributes to his father, Thelonious Monk. Higher Ground, his initial release for his Thelonious label, is a bit different. He still utilizes a combo (in this case a septet with percussion) and some of the numbers are hard bop (most notably Kenny Dorham's cooking blues "Philly Twist"), but the music is also open to funk, R&B, and more modern jazz styles. Despite the diversity, the performances stay at a consistently high level, with fine solos from all the principals. Guest singer Miles Griffith takes a particularly crazy scat vocal on Cedar Walton's "Mosaic." All in all, Higher Ground finds T.S. Monk staking out his own musical ...
