Fans of legendary New Orleans musician Allen Toussaint may at first be surprised that, for his first album in over a decade, the producer, songwriter, and pianist would choose to forgo recording his own stellar material in favor of a collection of cover tunes. The songs here aren't just any songs, however, ...

Although Billy Higgins appeared on literally hundreds of sessions as a sideman, the famous drummer didn't record nearly as many albums under his own name. One of the albums he provided in the 1990s was Billy Higgins Quintet, which was recorded in 1993 but didn't come out in the U.S. until 1997. This time, Higgins is in the driver's seat, leading a cohesive post-bop/hard bop quintet ...

Tupac 2pac Live CD (2004)

Best Of... Ten Best Series

$14.45

Liner Note Author: Rhonda Baraka.
No better than a run-of-the-mill bootleg, and perhaps even worse, the live 2Pac album Death Row released in summer 2004 is a terrible disappointment. Then again, that probably depends on your expectations. By this point, Death Row had become a clearing-house of 2Pac miscellanea: the label had released everything from best-ofs and posthumous double-disc albums to spoken word and remix collections, each release a bit more insubstantial than its predecessor. The previous year's Nu-Mixx Klazzics (2003) was a downright travesty of what a remix album should be -- 2Pac's vocal tracks pasted, as is, over lame backing tracks by Death Row's in-house band -- and just when you would have thought Suge Knight's exploitation of the 2Pac legacy could not get any more blasphemous, along came 2Pac Live. This slickly packaged album is in fact a faceless hodgepodge of spliced-together audience recordings from various club performances by the rapper during his All Eyez on Me heyday. There are some nice liner notes inside from Billboard contributor Rhonda Baraka; unfortunately, her ceremonial rhetoric belies the shoddy nature of the recordings at hand. If you've ever dipped your toe into the sea of bootlegs out there, most of them rock-related, you probably recognize the difference from soundboard and audience recordings -- the former recorded professionally from the soundboard, resulting in a clean, clear sound; the latter recorded amateurishly from the crowd, resulting in a microphone-recorded sound that is anything but clean and clear. Well, these live recordings of 2Pac are all most definitely audience recordings, where the crowd noise and vocals are high in the mix while the straight-from-DAT music is barely audible. Moreover, these recordings are from different shows (undocumented in the liners, though Baraka states that "many of [the songs] were recorded in 1996" and at one point the House of Blues is referenced) yet are spliced together as if this were one complete show -- again, belying the ...
