| | Tak Matsumoto Hana CD - Import Tak Matsumoto Discography of CDs
The prominence won by Matsumoto as lead guitarist with B'Z earns him an all-instrumental solo showcase on Hana. His influences are apparent; "Little Wing" is essentially an offering placed at the altar of Jimi Hendrix, complete with lo-fi, Mitch Mitchell-like snare timbre, and a somewhat watery wah-wah. On most other tracks, though, Matsumoto's plangent melodies, written and improvised, are as ambient as restaurant music, with a pentatonic tendency that has little to do with blues. This is especially apparent on his cover of "Romeo & Juliet," whose ponderous spoken intro, dripping sentimentality, and incongruous collisions of skipping 6/8 figures and squalling rock clichés could only have derived from a Japanese pop sensibility. Clearly, Matsumoto can shred; more often, he puts his music together carefully, which explains why, like arranged flowers, Hana is beautiful, balanced, and ultimately static. ~ Robert L. Doerschuk

Hana music CDs
$9.19  
Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (1991, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California).
Philly Joe Jones certainly didn't take a conservative approach to his first solo album. Instead, he chose to use his love of horror movies as the backdrop for this 1958 release. The opening track, "Blues for Dracula" commences with several minutes of Jones's ad lib impersonation of the horror-film icon Bela Lugosi, certainly an unexpected beginning.
The rest of BLUES FOR DRACULA is more straight-ahead. For example, "Tune Up" features a burning cornet solo from Nat Adderley and a virtuosic cadenza-style drum solo from Jones himself. Jones really takes his solo to the edge here, experimenting with a variety of abstract rhythmic motifs. On the final track, "Ow!," Jones employs a variety of fancy rolls (and other snare-drum rudiments) before orchestrating his ideas around the rest of the drum kit. The other five musicians shine on this session too, especially trombonist Julian Priester, whose improvisations are not only inventive but clean and articulate, a real feat for a slide trombonist. Overall, this is a hard-swinging disc filled with some bluesy horn solos and lots of imaginative stick work.
Recorded at Reeves Sound Studios, New York, New York on September 17, 1958. Originally released ...

| | Thee More Shallows History Of Sport Fishing CD (2002) (Import) Digipak; United Kingdom
Hana album
$15.19
Thee More Shallows' debut, 2002's A History of Sport Fishing, is a subdued affair, focused on precise arrangements and emotive songwriting rather than the studio-as-instrument bombast of their incredible 2005 follow-up, More Deep Cuts, which became the model for their subsequent releases. They hadn't yet delved into the lo-fi but huge-sounding dynamics that make Cuts such a unique and powerful album. But the tension, paranoia, and despair that characterize the Shallows' modus operandi are readily present, perhaps in their formative stages, even if you have to read between the lines to see them (as in the barely restrained anguish of "The 8th Ring of Hell"). Gentle melodies, hypnotic rhythms, deliberate pacing, and whispered/mumbled vocals create an atmosphere of ennui that's constantly teetering ...

Twelve 43 came together in late 2005 and hails from Metcalfe County, Kentucky. Their goal remains the same today as it was in the beginning: to create simple, entertaining music that will stand the test of time. All members live within minutes of each other along the rural stretch of Highway 1243, and that led to the unusual name: a name that serves as a constant reminder of the bond the members share. Each member has been influenced by a distinct genre of music and that is what gives the band such fun-loving, interestingly-styled songs. From Lynyrd Skynyrd to the Del McCoury Band, Nirvana to Garth Brooks, Steve Earle to Seether, Hank Sr. to Hank III, and everything in between, Twelve 43 has found inspiration.In 2007, the band recorded their first self-titled cd. They also set out locally to promote the cd and continue in 2008 to promote their music and their story. They currently receive limited radio play on numerous local rock stations. They've played with several local bands including blues bands, rock bands, and ...
