Glenn Miller - Best Of Army Air Force Band CD

Best Of Army Air Force Band songs Recorded in July, September and October 1961. Includes liner notes by Dom Cerulli and Joe Goldberg. Digitally remastered using 20-bit technology by Chris Herles (Polygram Studios). A year or two shy of his bossa nova success, Stan Getz set his mind to improvising against a backdrop of darkish yet scintillating string charts. The orchestral muscle was provided by arranger Eddie Sauter; the heady and fluid horn lines, of course, came from Getz. The jazz star might have been all airy samba fog to some, but on this classic date he really showed his expansive horn talents: whether leaping and yelping on such galvanizing sides as "I'm Late, I'm Late" or ingeniously responding to the many shades heard in a grand ballad like "I Remember When," Getz is never short on ideas or panache. Admittedly Getz's most challenging date and arguably his finest moment, Focus roams the vast jazz landscape outside of bop and boogaloo to fabulous and memorable effect. [The 2003 Japanese reissue is identical to the original release. It does have dynamically remastered sound and an exact miniature replica of the original gatefold cover in thick cardboard with a rice paper sleeve.] ~ Stephen Cook This is part of the Verve Master Edition series.

Best Of Army Air Force Band CD music Ace drummer Ben Perowsky (John Scofield, Dave Douglas, Mike Stern, Lost Tribe) teams with his father, Frank (tenor sax and clarinet) and organist Sam Yahel (currently touring with Josh Redman). The trio serves up a mix of standards and jazz classics, inc Drummer Ben Perowsky has worked with many musicians, but none on more intimate terms than his father, saxophonist Frank Perowsky. Here, father and son unite for the first time on record, bringing along organist Sam Yahel for a spirited set of bop-oriented classics. The elder Perowsky is in excellent form on both tenor sax and clarinet, with a laid-back yet advanced approach to harmony and phrasing. In order to highlight the family ties, Yahel sits out the last two cuts, "Donna Lee" and "Four" (the former a smoking clarinet feature). The Bird-and-Miles theme resurfaces often, and satisfying renditions of "My Foolish Heart," Horace Silver's "Quicksilver," and Fats Waller's "Jitterbug Waltz" round out the program. Well worth hearing. ~ David R. Adler Personnel includes: Ben Perowsky (drums); Frank Perowsky (tenor saxophone, clarinet); Sam Yahel (organ).

Best Of Army Air Force Band album for sale Pianist Armen Donelian and tenor saxophonist Marc Mommaas perform duets on three originals and two standards. Their improvisations are relaxed and often lyrical yet quite explorative. Mommaas has a flexible sound and shows versatility while Donelian provides both a rhythmic foundation (even when playing out of tempo) and a strong solo voice. The closer, Donelian's "Stargazer," is the most memorable performance and the challenging piece deserves to become a jazz standard. This is intriguing music that holds one's interest throughout. ~ Scott Yanow Recording information: New School University Jazz Performance Space, New York, (04/03/2003).

Best Of Army Air Force Band buy CD music This compilation includes 20 of the sultry songs by France's ultimate sexpot: Brigitte Bardot. After scaling the heights of international fame as a '50s movie pinup, Brigitte Bardot marked the shifting terrain of the '60s with a plunge into the music world. Like many French singers of the time, she updated the jazz-inspired chanson tradition of Trenet and Piaf with a healthy dose of pop and rock & roll. This 20-track sampler covers the period from her eponymous 1962 debut to the early '70s and such last hurrahs as her cover of Stevie Wonder's "You Are the Sunshine of My Life." A superbly selected mix, Best of BB hits all the heights, including early beat-style numbers like "L'Appareil a Sous" and "Je Danse Donc Je Suis" and several Serge Gainsbourg collaborations (their infamous duet, "Je T'Aime...Moi Non Plus," being one of them). Other Bardot-Gainsbourg highlights include such pop-culture landmarks as "Bonnie and Clyde," "Harley Davidson," and "Contact." A fabulous place to start your Bardot collection. ~ Stephen Cook 20 classic recordings from the various labels sherecorded for between 1962 - 1973.

Best Of Army Air Force Band songs Shankar Mahadevan is a versatile, contemporary Indian singer whose music has as much (probably more) to do with Western dance beats and pop styles as it does with the Indian classical tradition or typical Bollywood. Mahadevan first attained significant fame in India in 1998 when he scored a hit with the appropriately titled "Breathless," sung at a breakneck pace in a manner not unlike Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues" or R.E.M.'s "It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)." But his history goes back further than that -- he spent more than a decade working with the Swedish group Mynta and also collaborated with jazz guitar legend John McLaughlin on the latter's Remembering Shakti tours and Industrial Zen album. Mahadevan's grounding in both native Indian music and modern jazz and pop has served him well. This two-CD compilation is filled with urgent-sounding, pumped-up dancefloor blasters, devotional pieces with a classical base, romantic pop, film music (some written by the Bollywood icon A.R. Rahman), straight-ahead jazz, and semi-traditional songs that would more than satisfy a world music purist. Mahadevan is something of a one-stop, one-man tour of modern Indian music, a sign of what's ahead that still manages to pay its respects to what's come before. ~ Jeff Tamarkin

Best Of Army Air Force Band CD music Drop a quarter into the antique Wurlitzer in an off the beaten path honky-tonk, then sit back while the whimsical, dynamic and always musical songs from Wil Forbis and The Gentleman Scoundrels debut album "Shady's Jukebox" fill the air. It's a collection of music that may seem ambitious; after all, it flirts with a wide variety of styles and genres. "Shady's Jukebox" is rooted in country music --- as exemplified by the opener "Let's Get High on Jesus" --- but it's an album with musical muscles that are eager to stretch. Dixieland horn breaks, hillbilly bebop instrumentals and traditional bluegrass will tickle the ears of listeners used to the straight and narrow. What prevents the album from ever becoming a mere sampler platter of diverse but ultimately unsatisfying appetizers is Forbis's allegiance to the craft of songwriting. "Shadey's Jukebox" contains a gamut of radio ready hooks. Legendary Lazy Cowgirls front man Pat Todd remarked on two of the album's catchier cuts, stating, "The Better Man Won" b/w "How Am I Supposed to Feel" could have been one of those great, out of left field hit singles on AM radio circa 1970-72." The well-crafted songs are complemented with sterling musicianship. Muscular guitar playing abounds. Dave Alvin sidemen Steve Mugalian pounds out unrelenting grooves on the drums. Prominent guest musicians from the Los Angeles alt-country scene spice things up with fiddle, pedal steel and percussion. Atop the music, Forbis stamps a unique lyrical identity. He avoids not only the cliche ridden pablum that dominates much of the "Hot Country" market but the overdone angst of alt-country crooners who seem too intent on crying into their whiskey. Forbis is willing to wear his heartache on his sleeve, but he's also not afraid to boast, to fantasize and to use humor to find the sweet spots in life. Even a melancholy tune like the album closer "Old Before My Time" contains appropriate amounts of optimism and whimsy. All the ingredients are in place for an album that demands repeated listens.

Personnel: Wil Forbis (vocals, guitar, banjo); Shaun Mason (guitar); Peter Kavanaugh, Shaun Mason (guitars); Cliff Kane (pedal steel guitar); Eddie Murphy (fiddle); Dan Weinstein (trombone, sousaphone); Mike Brady (bass guitar); Steve Mugalian, Kevin Kearney (drums, percussion); Matt Bosson (background vocals).
