You know, one would think the year 2000 could've meant something. Instead of letting pent-up hostility toward a coddled, brutalized, and raped music culture burst out into another revolution of violent excess, listeners get the likes of fourth-rate Manic Street Preachers impersonators going through calculated motions as if Richey Manic was a "4-Real" Elvis, or worse, a steady flow of Jeff Buckley worshippers, metaphorically digging up the singer's body and feasting on his yellow, rotten flesh. Ireland's The Prayer Boat is such a grave-robber, and it's about time to take some militant action. "Soon the Stars Will Steer Me," "Dead Flowers" -- these are the track titles given. Emmett Tinely's voice shoots through these AOR songs of limp passion, ranging from a whispering Reamonn ("Saved") to a rather startling Natalie Imbruglia sibling ("Dark Green"), demanding about as much attention as a volume of Dostoyevsky gets in a Monday morning frat house. This is John Cougar Mellencamp, not Jeff Buckley, and there's going to come a time when the revolutionaries will lace their boots, cock their guns, and force 2000's disasters like this to start eating their own flesh. For starters, anyway. ~ Dean Carlson

| Polichinelle Music Review Purchase Polichinelle CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Houston Person Mellow CD (2009)
Polichinelle
$13.59 Not all mellow, Houston Person's tribute to the softer side of jazz has its moments based on the laid-back timbre of his soul rather than a program consisting of only ballads. The tenor sax he wields certainly reflects the tradition established by Ben Webster in its soul-drenched tone, but is not as vocally pronounced or vibrato driven. The quite capable pianist John DiMartino is the one whose more enunciated notions are harnessed, while tasteful guitar by the underrated James Chirillo ring out in acceptance of Person's embraceable hues. A program of standards and two blues jams, Person rounds into shape this quintet of true professional to render themes that are harder to play slow than fast. ...
| | Diana Krall Quiet Nights CD (2009)
Polichinelle
$13.69 Diana Krall's first studio outing since she and husband Elvis Costello became the proud parents of twin boys, 2009's QUIET NIGHTS finds the jazz singer/pianist turning in a serene and pleasantly subdued set. Krall breezes through a few bossa nova standards, most notably "The Girl from Ipanema" (here gender-reversed ...
| | Al Jarreau This Time CD (1980)
Polichinelle
$6.15 Al Jarreau finally found success in the U.S. after 1975's We Got By. The later albums that followed ,like 1977's live Look to the Rainbow and 1978's All Fly Home found him attaining the all-important cult status and accolades from the jazz community. Those facts made his switch to pop/R&B on This Time even more surprising. For This Time, Jarreau is paired with producer Jay Graydon. Despite ...
| | Jeff Hamilton Symbiosis CD (2009)
Polichinelle
$12.59 Jeff Hamilton's recordings have always been focused as straight-ahead and mainstream as your typical superhighway, with occasional time for rest stops, gassing up, and sleepovers. While always a good listen, Hamilton and his non-stop rotation of up-and-coming pianists and bassists never really pushed the envelope, staying the course set by his mentor, the late, great bassist Ray Brown, and other California-based coolsters. With Symbiosis, though, there's a change in the weather with the addition of extraordinary young talent in pianist Tamir Hendelman and bassist Christoph Luty. This is not at all to say that Hamilton's music had no fire, guts, or glory, ...

$7.99 | | Ray Charles Genius Loves Company CD (2004) Digipak; Enhanced CD
Polichinelle
$10.45 Though Ray Charles, one of the greatest singers of the 20th century, was never in need of vocal assistance, he was no stranger to duets either (one of his finest records is a duet album with Betty Carter). For as much of a musical giant as he was, Brother Ray knew how to share the spotlight, as evidenced by GENIUS LOVES COMPANY, his final project before his 2004 passing. In keeping with the eclectic nature of Charles's artistry, he partners with a wide assortment of performers here.
Charles is joined by Elton John on a soulful exploration of the latter's "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word," and sidles up next ...
| | Bright Eyes Letting Off The Happiness CD (1998)
Polichinelle
$10.85 The second full-length release from Omaha wunderkind Conor Oberst is a fascinating coming of age for a singer/songwriter whose respectability is chiseled in stone through his musical abilities. This ten-track outing is a lo-fi bonanza of heartfelt tunes that features musical contributions from members of such critically acclaimed groups as Neutral Milk Hotel, Of Montreal, and Lullaby for the Working Class. Special guests aside, it is Oberst's acoustic guitar and wavering emotional vocals that turn songs like the opening "If Winter Ends" into fragile masterpieces. There are also full-on rock numbers like "The City Has Sex" that help to push the envelope, and others like the Dylan-esque "June on ...

| | Patrick Lamb Sunshine Alley CD
Polichinelle
$11.39 Saxman Lamb comes out like a lion - The Oregonian Review by marty Hughley, January 11, 2002From the time he began making a name for himself in the Portland music scene more than a decade ago, saxophonist Patrick Lamb-just out of Oregon Episcopal School, fresh-faced, earnest, and ambitious- has explored a variety of styles. He's worked on his straight-ahead jazz chops in quintets, jam sessions and the like. He's worked with contemporary jazz stars and blues veterans.The main direction of his career though, has been toward smooth jazz, which not only holds the best commercial prospects for a contemporary saxophonist but fits with Lamb's crowd-leaser musical personality. But that genre never seemed to spur Lamb to develop his artistic voice beyond the polishing of surfaces; even his gutsiest blowing could come across as facile (as eveidenced on "The Closer I Get," his album from about a year ago).But now out comes "Sunshine Alley," a bright, welcome sign that Lamb's decade of hard work and eclecticism have really paid off. Taking on the time-honored tradition of the organ trio, Lamb teams up with Hammond B3 player Louis Pain, best known for his work with Paul deLay's great blues band, and completes the circle alternately with Mel Brown or Jason Carter on drums. Steeped in the soul-jazz approach of the 1960's, this is music that proves you can be direct and accessible without ingratiating your way toward the lowest common denominator. And it takes advantage of the tonal warmth and openhearted phrasing at the same time that it pushes Lamb to dig ...
