 (1 Customer Review)
Violinist Billy Bang is equally at home whether performing heady, modern-jazz-style improvisation or when churning out a straightforward swing vibe within mainstream contexts. Here, saxophonist/flutist Sonny Fortune, pianist John Hicks, and others lend their wares to this generally invigorating 2001 production. Based upon his Vietnam War experiences, Bang and associates meld Southeast Asian modalities with Western scales and bouncy swing vamps amid a few tenderly executed ballads. The violinist and tenor saxophonist Frank Lowe engage in some heated dialogue during the hard-driving "Saigon Phunk," while the venerable Lawrence "Butch" Morris conducts the septet on "Bien Hoa Blues." Hence, this program is fabricated upon interweaving Asian undertones, groove-laden rhythms, and the instrumentalists' strong soloing. However, some of the compositions are less memorable than others, although the violinist's steadfast commitment to this deeply personal undertaking cannot be compromised. ~ Glenn Astarita

$12.65
For all that the previous album was called Vini Reilly, Obey the Time was in fact Durutti's most specifically Reilly-only release yet. Even percussion stalwart Mitchell only appeared on one track this time around, the fine, subtly uplifting punch of "Art and Freight," partially due to where Reilly's head was at this time around. Inspired by the late-'80s acid house revolution in England, with his native Manchester firmly at ground zero, Reilly aimed to combine that with his usual guitar approach to see what would happen. Where in nearly any other hands this would have been a pathetic crossover disaster waiting to happen, the end results are gratifyingly like what his compatriots in New Order did the previous year with Technique, synthesizing up-to-date styles to create something distinctly different. Even a title like "Spanish Reggae," which sounds like something out of world music hell, turns out to be both accurate and not a nightmare, with light flamenco snippets and other electric guitar work from Reilly fed through heavy dub echo over a slow, just ...

Vietnam-The Aftermath CD music
$10.05
Sphynx, Melechesh's third full-length, finds the band further illustrating its disinterest in the clichés often associated with the Norse, Swedish, and American metal scenes. The speed-obsessed trappings of debut As Jerusalem Burns...Al'intisar were relegated obsolete by second album Djinn, which found the Israeli group refocusing its intentions with a well-executed hybrid of death and thrash metal. On its heels came Sphynx, a startlingly powerful effort that improves upon that formula on all fronts. Main songwriter, vocalist, and guitarist Ashmedi masterfully and logically arranges every track on Sphynx with his ear tweaked for maximum metallic devastation, and he ...

Wayne Horvitz Gravitas Quartet: Peggy Lee (cello); Wayne Horvitz (synthesizer); Ron Miles , Sara Schoenbeck.
Way Out East presents the debut of Wayne Horvitz Gravitas Quartet, with trumpeter Ron Miles -- who you'll wish you heard more from as a leader -- cellist Peggy Lee, and bassoonist Sara Schoenbeck. Horvitz plays piano and employs electronics some of the time. The music here alternates between structured improvisation for ensemble, modern composition, jazz, and the "other path" that Horvitz often takes that is just plain unclassifiable. One place they seem to meet is in the sound of the jazz tradition that is in everything Miles plays. Note the title track on which he comes from out of time itself and lays the blues (subtly) down on a gorgeous little melody cello, while the bassoon carries the piece harmonically and Horvitz weighs in with his own contrapuntal song. Horvitz and this group are not above meandering to find their way inside a written piece either (yes, that's a good thing). There are not ...
