Ray Davies Kinks Choral Collection CD (2009)

Glass Room

$14.38

Orchestral and choral arrangements of rock songs have been a curious subgenre ever since the mid-'60s when Andrew Loog Oldham arranged The Rolling Stones Songbook for syrupy strings, but The Kinks Choral Collection stands apart from the pack for the simple reason that it's not the project of some associate or admirer, but rather chief Kink Ray Davies. His very presence as arranger and lead vocal means The Kinks Choral Collection isn't nearly as stuffy and middlebrow as so many of these orchestral rock albums; he manages to inject some semblance of rock & roll by pushing the songs forward with guitar, and letting the rhythms swing instead of plod. This looseness is the first big surprise of the album. The second is its unrepentant but quite possibly accidental silliness, how many of the major guitar riffs are transposed for choir, an audacious idea in concept that's simply goofy in practice. These choral chants hamper the hardest rocking songs here -- "You Really Got Me," "All Day and All of the Night," "Victoria" -- and they're mercifully absent from the slower tunes, songs that benefit from the gentle layered harmonies. In comparison to most orchestral and choral rock albums, these arrangements are subtle and sensitive, providing a nice counterpart for the surprising dose of rock & roll, both things that make The Kinks Choral Collection one ...

Dave Brubeck Time Out CD (1959) Remastered

Glass Room

$6.25

Dave Brubeck's TIME OUT ranks alongside Miles Davis' KIND OF BLUE as one of the few advanced jazz masterpieces to achieve great commercial success. In fact, the widespread popularity of TIME OUT, with its cool-toned ambience, smooth style, and elements borrowed from classical music, helped make modern jazz a mainstream phenomenon. The ubiquitous "Take Five" may be overplayed, but that doesn't diminish the joy of its complex melodic hooks, its perfectly executed solos, or the swinging slink of its 5/4 signature. "Blue Rondo a la Turk" ...

Al Jarreau Christmas CD (2008)

Glass Room

$8.89

For the past few decades, Al Jarreau has established himself as a truly modern jazz singer, one for the post-fusion generation--those who grew up with the sounds of the cordial contemporary jazz of George Benson, Spyro Gyra, and Herbie Hancock. CHRISTMAS is Jarreau's first-ever collection of holiday songs on which he wraps his supple, honeyed vocal chords around some traditional Christmas classics. Jazz vocal combo Take 6 lend their voices for "I'll Be Home For Christmas" and the considered, varied arrangements of Jay Graydon and Jarreau himself keep the proceedings interesting. Arrangers: Chris Walker ; Clare Fischer; Brent Fisher; Joe Turano; David Witham; Jay Graydon; ...

Steve Haines Beginner's Mind CD (2003)

Glass Room

$12.59

Bassist Steve Haines is a well-kept secret -- or at least he had been up until the release of Beginner's Mind. Haines had been a session man for over a decade, and this is his debut. Recording with a fine group of peers in tenor saxophonist David Lown, Chip Crawford on piano, Rob Smith on trumpet, and drummer Tom Taylor, Haines weaves together a fairly magical set of originals and interpretations of standards. Haine's crew is sprightly in approach, whether they are exploring modalism as they do on "The North Shore," or an old gospel tune such as on Tim Young's arrangement of "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child," on which Crawford plays contrapuntal chord patterns on both hands and Haines punches the time out to keep it all mirroring back to Taylor. By the time the horns enter, the tune has become a full-on near-bop blues. "Shoshin," with its Bill Evans-like harmonic explorations of Eastern line and scale, is remarkable in its quiet intensity, and a cover of "Spring Is Here" sets the entire record off in a gauzy yet affirmative dreamscape, with the piano and bass strolling ...
