Joao Gilberto Amoroso/Brasil CD (1993)

Observations album

$11.99

Joao Gilberto is perhaps forever destined to be lesser known to casual jazz fans than his occasional collaborator Stan Getz (whose GETZ/GILBERTO albums introduced the United States to bossa nova) and his ex-wife Astrud Gilberto (whose shy, delicate voice made her one of the most distinctive and beloved jazz vocalists of the '60s). However, true fans of Brazilian music recognize that Gilberto is second only to Antonio Carlos Jobim as a writer and interpreter of traditional Brazilian music and Brazilian-influenced ...

Stan Getz Getz/Gilberto CD (1963)

Observations music CDs

$10.79

The record that started the bossa nova craze of the mid-'60s, GETZ-GILBERTO is a justly recognized classic. The disc's success is attributable to its spectacular personnel: the man who basically invented bossa nova, Antonio Carlos Jobim; the man who defined and perfected the genre, Joao Gilberto; his charmingly waifish-sounding wife, Astrud Gilberto; and American tenor saxophonist extraordinaire Stan Getz. Jobim plays guitar and piano; Getz provides remarkably lyrical, complementary lead lines, and Joao Gilberto plays and sings in Portuguese with the most understated, romantic, and artful vocal delivery imaginable. It's a hard combination to beat. Opening ...

Shirley Horn I Remember Miles CD (1998)

Observations album

$12.39

I REMEMBER MILES won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Performance. This stunning album is Shirley Horn's loving tribute to her friend and colleague, the legendary late Miles Davis. Davis was so taken by Horn's first album EMBERS AND ASHES that he forced The Village Vanguard to let her virtually-unknown trio open for him during his 1961 run there. Their friendship and admiration for each other's music lasted through the years, and Shirley Horn's 1991 recording YOU WON'T FORGET ME, was one of the last recordings Miles Davis made. Horn selected mostly ballads from Davis' Columbia Records catalogue for her ...

Onyx All We Got Iz Us CD (1995)

Observations songs

$11.99

All songs written or co-written by members of Onyx. Samples include "Love Lips" (as performed by Bob James and Earl Klugh), "Love Is My Life" (as performed by Jimmy McGriff) and "Wherever You Are" (as performed by Isaac Hayes). Interpolations include "Trying To Get The Feeling Again" (D. Pomeranz). ALL WE GOT IZ US is the sophomore effort from Onyx, the group responsible for introducing the world to a horror-filled rap music. Their screaming hardcore style transformed these often misunderstood, gun-slinging outlaws into the most unlikely hip-hop crossover of the '90s. Now rolling three deep (Big D.S. having fallen by the wayside), Onyx continue to vent large doses of anger towards society, with a do-or-die attitude that jumps off the album's title. Obviously not suffering from the dreaded sophomore jinx, ALL WE GOT IZ US is as strong--if not stronger--than its predecessor, BACDAFUCUP. The songs are comparable ("Shout" being the obvious 1995 equivalent of "Slam"), but the production, provided mostly by Fredro Starr (now known as Never), is far more complex than the average boom-bap laid over a sample. "Betta Off Dead" not only contains angry lyrics that manage to stay on beat, but also mixes in a dragged scream of "Onyx" and a whistle as part of the background sound effects. Each song or skit mysteriously segues into the next without a clear distinction, adding fire to the already lit flame. A gun-shot at the end of Sticky Fingaz' opening "Life Or Death" skit sets off the album's most haunting cut, "Last Dayz," which describes the disintegrating world as Onyx see it from the streets of South Suicide (Jamaica), Queens. Some say their messages promote violence, but Onyx, who speak on behalf of the U.S.G. (United States Ghetto), are on an entirely different level than the gangsta/murder-everybody rap groups they get compared to. A close listen to ALL WE GOT IZ US proves it. The second offering from Queens' Onyx is another fix of dark and psychotic microphone marauding. Unlike their debut album Bacdafucup, the trio's 1995 sophomore project contains no MTV-friendly cuts like "Slam." Rather, All We Got Iz Us is strictly the dark side, espousing basically one emotion: rage. This is a primal album of raucous wailing over sparse, rumbling beats. It is the sound of what slithers ...
