| | Frank Strazzeri Wood Winds West CD Frank Strazzeri Discography of CDs
Pianist Frank Strazzeri, who composed seven of the 11 pieces on this CD and arranged all of the music, put together an impressive group of West Coast all-stars in 1992 that included tenor saxophonist Bob Cooper; baritonist Jack Nimitz; Bill Perkins on soprano, alto, and flutes; bassist Dave Stone; and drummer Paul Kreibich. The colorful charts swing, make inventive use of the three saxophonists (who play a total of eight reeds), and are both unpredictable and logical. This underrated disc is easily recommended. ~ Scott Yanow

$6.75   
A surprise best-seller when it was first released, this mostly improvised pairing of singer/keyboardist/producer Al Kooper with two major guitar heroes of the day sounds fascinating all these years later precisely because of the distance of time--nobody makes records like this any more. The material runs the gamut from folk pop (covers of Donovan ...

This double-CD set is not only the best of Bill Chase's output but -- comprising all three of their albums -- virtually their complete finished studio work, before the plane crash that killed Chase and much of the group. The mastering on this Wounded Bird reissue is excellent, with a full solid bass sound topped by soaring highs on the brass and no compression to speak of. It's not as though this catalog has been overused, in terms of its master tape library -- apart from the hit "Get It On" -- but it's still good to know that the stuff has been well handled in terms of being digitalized. Additionally, the producers have reprinted Nat Hentoff's original ...

| | Jon Hassell City: Works Of Fiction CD (1990)
Wood Winds West CD music
$13.85
Several tracks on Jon Hassell's City: Works of Fiction feature dense electronic textures that are more fragmentary and aggressive than his prior work. However, the many polyrhythmic grooves on City are clearly reminiscent of Power Spot and point to the upcoming hip-hop of Dressing for Pleasure. Throughout City, Hassell's unique brand of exoticism prevails as he weaves his processed raga trumpet amidst a dazzling array of digital samples and electronic percussion, electric bass and guitar, and Masai voices from Kenya.
"Voiceprint" is densely packed with fragments of ...
