Jazz Hits, Vol. 2 album
 $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 and Dylan), to blues ("Albert's Shuffle," "You Don't Love Me"), to heady jams ("His Holy Modal Majesty"), to big-band jazz ("Harvey's Tune").
All the tunes make effective templates for the kind off-the-cuff music-making that in less capable hands might have resulted in simple noodling. In fact, although Bloomfield and Stills don't play together on any of the cuts (Bloomfield played on one side of the original LP, Stills on the other), all three principals get off lots of good ...

Jazz Hits, Vol. 2 album
$15.09
On FIRST LOVE, contemporary jazz saxophonist and composer Everette Harp moves deeper into the space he addressed on 2007's excellent MY INSPIRATION. Produced by George Duke, the meld of acoustic and electric instruments here is perfectly balanced. Melodic and harmonic structures are much more complex and don't always fit the C-jazz cookie-cutter mold. Check his original "The Council of Nicea," one of the most satisfying things here. Harp's tenor is accompanied by James Genus' acoustic bass, and some spot-on breaks by Terri Lyne Carrington, a beautiful bluesy, hard bop trumpet solo by Michael "Patches" Stewart, and Lenny Castro's hand percussion. Directing the band is Duke ...

| | Very Best Of Oleta Adams CD (1998)
Jazz Hits, Vol. 2 music CDs
$12.15
The Very Best of Oleta Adams primarily consists of material from her first three albums. The big mystery of this 1998 collection is the lack of material from 1990's Circle of One, by far her strongest and more musically varied set of songs. A mere three tunes are included here: "Get Here," the Soul II Soul-styled "Rhythm of Life," and the rousing "Circle of One." Her weaker second album, Evolution, however, is represented by no less than five tracks, and four songs from Moving On also appear. The Very Best of Oleta Adams also includes material that was never previously available on an Oleta Adams album. Tears for Fears' Seeds of Love hit "Woman in Chains" is here, and Adams' pitch-perfect vocal harmonies play off Roland Orzabal's melodramatic bombast surprisingly well. Though a more subtle arrangement may have been more successful, her rendition of "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" (which appeared on the Elton John/Bernie Taupin covers album Two Rooms in 1991) is performed with such gusto Elton John's version pales by comparison. Adams also shows off her astonishing range on the Gershwin classic "Embraceable You" and a nice reading of Jimmy Cliff's "Many Rivers to Cross." Although The Very Best of Oleta Adams lacks two of her ...

| | A Lesser Mensa Dance Squad CD (2001) Extended Play
Jazz Hits, Vol. 2 album
$6.05
There are those who are extremely serious about their experimental music. Po' faced elitists who want nothing to do with music if there's a hook, riff, or even a beat to grasp onto. And then there's Jay Lesser, who, like the academics, is seemingly focused only on pushing the boundaries of what people's ears and attitudes will tolerate. The difference is that Lesser is laughing his ass off. A mini-album to follow-up Gearhound, Lesser's debut for indie/mainstream margin walkers Matador, Mensa Dance Squad, is a perfect fit for the IDM imprint Tigerbeat6, sitting comfortably next to smartass releases by label owner Kid606 and Cex. Yet at the same time, the album's title, along with the statement "Intelligence should be used for the benefit of humanity," printed on the cover, ...
