Robert Charlebois' sixth LP, Un Gars Ben Ordinaire ("An ordinary guy," from a line in the song "Ordinaire") was released in 1971 by Gamma. It consists of a collection of odds and ends, songs previously released on single A- or B-sides and a couple of leftovers from the Robert Charlebois/Louise Forestier and Québec Love sessions (but it is considered a legitimate album). It contains a couple of essential songs but is otherwise much weaker than the aforementioned two previous LPs. All these songs were intended for radio play. They drop the psychedelic experimentations to focus on conciseness and, in many cases, humor. "Ordinaire," the heart-breaking cry of a fading show business star, and "Mon Pays" have become two of the singer's most popular songs, the latter marking the beginning of a fruitful collaboration with novelist/lyricist Réjean Ducharme. "Down in the South" (sung in English), "Miss Pepsi," and "Mme. Bertrand" all have a slight folkloric accent. "Deux Femmes en Or," an ambitious and highly uncharacteristic orchestral piece, was commissioned for a movie by the same title, while "Solitudine" is an Italian version of "Sensation" (from Québec Love), recorded by Patti Pravo. Filled with hits and misses, Un Gars Ben Ordinaire is already closer to Solidaritude than the psychedelic rock albums of 1968 and 1969. ~ François Couture Un Gars Ben Ordinaire Music Robert Charlebois Un Gars Ben Ordinaire Songs | 1. | Beige Neige | |

| | Masada Quintet Stolas: Book Of Angels Volume 12 CD (2009)
Un Gars Ben Ordinaire CD music
 $12.99  
STOLAS is the 12th volume in John Zorn's BOOK OF ANGELS series of compositions, and it's a welcome and compelling idea that he decided to re-form his stellar Masada quintet for the occasion. In addition to the rhythm section of Joey Baron and Greg Cohen, trumpeter Dave Douglas, and pianist Uri Caine, Zorn enlisted tenor sax giant Joe Lovano to replace him on all but one cut where he adds his alto, making the group a sextet. Here klezmer, Yiddish folk music, bossa nova, and other Latin jazz all come together in a seamless meld of tunes that accent the symmetry of ensemble play as much as they do an extremely advanced sense of ensemble harmonics, rhythmic invention, and, of course, tautly arranged spaces for individual improvisation--check out the album's longest cut, "Tagriel," for evidence as Zorn's composition not only travels genres but centuries. The popping showcase for solos that is "Serakel" is nonetheless a grooving ...

Terra feels like an attempt to move Mariza into the musical mainstream. She's already established herself at the forefront of fado, as one of the leading performers of the emotive Portuguese style, and there's no doubt she possesses a wonderful voice. But the addition of several guests, such as Chucho Valdés, Ivan Lins, and Tito Paris ...

Additional personnel includes: Glen DaCosta (tenor saxophone); David Madden (trumpet); Nambo (trombone); Devon Evans (percussion).
Digitally remastered by Ted Jensen (2001, Sterling Sound, New York, New York)
An interesting collection of singles and posthumously archived material created in the same way as Hendrix's CRASH LANDING and The Beatles "Free as a Bird," (albeit with most of the original musicians), CONFRONTATION is more consistent than one would expect and includes at least one certified classic in "Buffalo Soldier." The record features some very tasty guitar, good vocal performances and the always rock-steady rhythm section of the Barrett brothers. While not absolutely essential, it should certainly be the next purchase for anyone who already owns all of the official Marley albums. While the disc is perhaps ...

Un Gars Ben Ordinaire album
$13.45
A Fela-inspired Afrobeat collective by way of Detroit, Michigan, might provoke suspicions of endless jam-band histrionics, but Nomo is tight, disciplined, and dance-focused, taking as a starting point Afrobeat's swaying rhythms as much as its extended improvisations. Its second album, NEW TONES, combines the experimental reach of Sun Ra with New Orleans voodoo on "Fourth Ward" and laid-back funk on "We Do We Go," while "Sarvodaya" is a ...
