 (2 Customer Reviews)
Despite the fact that all the participants are dead and there's no single or video, EEO-ELEVEN: THE BEST OF THE RAT PACK still managed to make it onto the Billboard album charts. Though the Sinatra fanbase was still wide enough circa 2002, it was the success of the OCEAN'S ELEVEN remake (the original film was a cinematic rat pack tour de force) that pushed the Chairman and his pals to the forefront of the collective consciousness. While there are a couple of discs available of the Sinatra/Martin/Davis "rat pack" performing together, this is basically collection of some of the best-known recordings by the individual artists. While hardcore lounge-heads will already have most of this material, EEE-O ELEVEN provides an excellent entry point into the smoothly self-assured swing and pop of these larger-than-life American icons.
Includes Rat Pack quotes compiled by Bill Zehme.
Digitally remastered by Bob Norberg (Capitol Mastering).

In his short story Billy the Kid, Steve Earle spun the tale of a fresh-faced kid who arrived in Nashville with a handful of brilliant songs, cut a stone classic album, scored a record deal most musicians would give their eye teeth to get, and married the girl of his dreams, all in a few weeks before cruel fate caught up with him. While one can only hope the powers that be have ...

For his second album for Invisible Music, Maine-based, award-winning drummerSteve Grover has once more teamed with longtime colleague clarinet player Brad Terry to collaborate on an appealing set of Grover compositions. Terry, an outstanding contemporary clarinet virtuoso, is relatively unknown in the United States. He frequently performs in Europe, especially in Poland, where he is one half of the Jazz Duo, the other half occupied by Polish pianist Joachim Mencel. Their recordings also feature Terry's other instrument, whistling. His most famous recording session is the critically acclaimed two-CD Living Room Tapes made with another Maine native, influential guitarist Lenny Breau.
In these compositions, Grover has chosen to explore color and harmonies with expansive melodies, abstaining from clunks, bangs, pops, or electronic gimmicks that sometimes afflict modern day jazz recordings. The music and its playing are both introspective and agreeable. Grover has written a book in musical form with each track a chapter and the performers as its characters. Terry's clarinet plays the voice of reason, never losing his cool. Frank Carlberg's piano while restrained is a bit more effusive. Grover assumes the toll of the understanding but firm leader. His drums set the tone and direction for the musical with well-placed and timed accents on snare, trap, or cymbal. Grover never takes advantage as the leader of the group and the composer of the songs to engage in long winded, senseless drum solos. Giving the lion's share of the spotlight to his confreres, Grover waits until the last track, "Dreaming With Thelonious," to do some extended drum work, neither loud nor intrusive, consistent with the overall ...
