Anita O'Day All The Sad Young Men CD (1961)

Finzi & Leighton: Cello Concertos

$12.65

Recorded in New York, New York on October 16, 1961 and at Sunset Recorders, Los Angeles, California from November to December 1961. Originally issued on Verve (8442). Includes liner notes by Dom Cerulli. Digitally remastered using 22-bit technology by Kevin Reeves (Polygram Studios). One of the greatest of jazz singers, Anita O'Day can also be one of the most erratic. When she's on, O'Day is a brilliant improviser, endlessly creative yet shrewdly paring away any extra-musical excess that might obscure her interpretations. On the occasional off day, O'Day's famous vibrato-less instrument would fail her pitchwise. Ever the unromantic "hip chick," her unconvincing ballads can then be mired in low-energy bathos. Happily, ALL THE SAD YOUNG MEN is crisply arranged by the equally creative Gary McFarland. O'Day convivially meets him halfway in a well-chosen set of mostly lesser known bluesy numbers, three of which were written by McFarland expressly for this session. Speaking of the blues, the album opens and closes with breezy trademark O'Day performances of two jazz originals, Gene Krupa's "Boogie Blues," which Anita used to scat in her celebrated Krupa-Eldridge days, and Horace Silver's "Senor Blues." But the highlight here has to be O'Day's knowing take on the title tune, Fran Landesman & Tommy Wolf's well-sketched portrait of '50s bohemia, a likely subject for bathos, sure, but the singer's cool rendition turns all skepticism inside out. Creed Taylor's well-recorded 1961 production has been superbly remastered in another choice addition to Verve's By Request series. This is part of Verve's By Request series. Personnel: Anita O'Day (vocals); Barry Galbraith (guitar); Phil Woods, Walter Levinsky (clarinet, alto saxophone); Jerome Richardson, Zoot Sims (woodwinds, tenor saxophone); Doc Severinsen, Herb Pomeroy, Bernie Glow (trumpet); Willie Dennis , Bob Brookmeyer (trombone); Hank Jones (piano); Mel Lewis (drums).

Et Cetera CD (1976) (Import) Canada

Finzi & Leighton: Cello Concertos

$15.25

The sole album released by this group from Montreal, Et Cetera ranks among the finest items in Quebec progressive rock and remains a sought-after collector's item. The group benefited from a sleek production that enhances its rich arrangements and complex contrapuntal lines. This is as close as any derivative prog rock band got to Gentle Giant. Besides emulating the technique of their illustrious British masters, the Montrealers tapped into the essence of Giant-esque counterpoint and vocal harmony. Mostly detectable in "Et la Musique Tourne," "Éclaircie," and "Newton Avait Raison," this influence is not the only point of reference here. Et Cetera adds a brand of jazz-rock also found in the music of a few other Quebec groups at the time, especially Maneige and Sloche. The music is dominated by Marie Bernard's keyboards and voice. Her soloing ability on the mini-Moog ranks high among her male European counterparts, while her use of Ondes Martenot gives the music a unique flavor. One of the first synthesizers built, the Martenot is operated by a slide, giving it a sound somewhere between a theremin and a singing saw. Having a woman sing lead vocals in a progressive rock group is a treat by itself. Highly cerebral, this music requires many listens before the melodies can have a chance to sink in, but "Et la Musique Tourne" remains anthology material while the other six songs make a very honest album for fans of the genre. Recommended but hard to find. ~ François Couture

Eddie Gale Black Rhythm Happening CD (1969)

Finzi & Leighton: Cello Concertos

$13.79

Love it or hate it, trumpeter Eddie Gale's second Blue Note outing as a leader is one of the most adventurous recordings to come out of the 1960s. Black Rhythm Happening picks up where Ghetto Music left off, in that it takes the soul and free jazz elements of his debut and adds to them the sound of the church in all its guises -- from joyous call and response celebration on the title track (and album opener), to the mournful funeral sounds of "Song of Will," to the determined Afro-Latin-style chanting on "Mexico Thing" that brings the pre-Tommy Dorsey gospel to the revolutionary song style prevalent in Zapata's Mexico -- all thanks to the Eddie Gale Singers. Elsewhere, wild smatterings of hard and post-bop ("Ghetto Love Night") and angular modal music ("Ghetto Summertime," featuring Elvin Jones on drums and Joann Stevens-Gale on guitar), turn the jazz paradigm of the era inside out, simultaneously admitting everything in a coherent, wonderfully ambitious whole. There is no doubt that Archie Shepp listened to both Ghetto Music and Black Rhythm Happening before setting out to assemble his Attica Blues project. The album closes with "Look at Teyonda," a sprawling exercise in the deep melding of African and Latin folk musics with the folk-blues, flamenco, and jazz rhythms. Funky horns (courtesy of Gale, Russell Lyle, and Roland Alexander) moan toward Fulumi Prince's startlingly beautiful vocal. Stevens-Gale's guitar whispers the tune into the field before the saxophones and brass come to get it, and when they do, long open lines are offered slowly and deliberately, as Jones' shimmering ride cymbals triple-time the beat into something wholly Other. Black Rhythm Happening is a timeless, breathtaking recording, one that sounds as forward-thinking and militant in the 21st century as it did in 1969. ~ Thom Jurek Available on CD for the first time, "Black Rhythm Happening" (the second Blue Note album by Eddie Gale) was released in 1969 and includes jazz heavy weight Elvin Jo

The 1995 CD release of this great 1967 Duke Ellington-Billy Strayhorn suite provided an opportunity for reissue producer Orrin Keepnews to correct certain tape speed anomalies which marred the initial LP by going back and remixing the original multi-track tapes. The sparkling result can perhaps be compared to a cleanup of the Sistine Chapel or at least The Last Supper. For THE FAR EAST SUITE is not only one of the Duke Ellington Orchestra's greatest sessions, it is one of the greatest jazz records of the '60s, not bad for a band that made its first significant recordings exactly 40 years before. Sinewy, chromatic, Eastern-flavored compositions like "Isfahan" and "Agra" provide utterly fresh-sounding showcases for veteran Ellingtonians like alto saxophonist Johnny Hodges and the apparently ageless baritone saxophonist Harry Carney. All the Duke's men rise to this special occasion however, especially the fluent and witty clarinetist Jimmy Hamilton and the piano player himself, whose lush ruminations on the 11-minute
