Even as the music industry has leaned more toward pigeonholing artists to fit them into simple categories, listeners are blessed to have a few visionaries who realize that the spirit of truly great music can't always be so tidy and contained. Weckl's fifth Stretch Records release lives up to the promise of its kinetic title, reflecting his ensemble's powerful rhythmic energy and ongoing commitment to melodic invention and improvisational spontaneity. The whirlwind begins with his funky, aggressive drum intro on "Double Up," which leads to a bona fide live jam featuring Brandon Fields' fiery sax, Tom Kennedy's bass throb, Steve Weingart's lively keyboard riffs (including a Fender Rhodes section), and exciting brass flourishes. "Child's Play" shows some of the band's global-minded leanings, opening with a small kids choir and African chanting and delving into a mix of tight jazz fusion and jungly exotica. Weingart's "Mesmer-Eyes" has a similar tribal flavor, with synth vibes, sparse percussion, a moody bassline, and later, staccato sax bursts. The light, swinging, moody soul number "Skipper" is a true showcase for Fields' incomparable sax virtuosity, while also featuring some of Weckl's own wild hi-hat and drum fills. With its distinctive Japanese elements and cool ambience, Weingart's romantic and lyrical "Oasis" seems inspired by the group's various outings in the Far East. ~ Jonathan WidranJazzTimes (4/03, p.105) - "...Weckl powers his fine quartet through a series of rhythmically and harmonically intricate compositions that provide each member with ample opportunities to shine..."

In addition to being perhaps the most famous early rock & roll radio DJ of all, Alan Freed also promoted and presented many early rock & roll concerts, at which a house band was needed to play and back many of the artists. This 24-track CD, though credited to the Alan Freed Rock'n'Roll Big Band, actually features both that group (which performs half the 24 cuts) and a similar outfit called the King's Henchmen (the credited performers on the other dozen selections). The 12 Alan Freed Rock'n'Roll Big Band tracks were all done in November 1957, and used as filler on two various-artists compilation LPs (one on the Coral label, the other on Brunswick). The other 12 tracks, all recorded in February 1958, were issued as a King's Henchmen album titled Alan Freed Presents the King's Henchmen Playing New Orleans Rock'n'Roll. Though it's not known precisely who played on each sessions, it's likely that saxophonists King Curtis, Sam "The Man" Taylor, and Lowell "Count" Hastings played on all of them, as probably did guitarist Kenny Burrell and pianist Ernie Hayes. Getting that discographical confusion out of the way -- and the liner notes do provide a handy discography -- what we have are two dozen early rock & roll instrumentals that, while sounding pretty much like they were thrown together on the spot, are played with great professionalism. Stock early rock & roll/R&B progressions dominate, with plenty of honking saxes. But on the Alan Freed Rock'n'Roll Big Band tracks, there's also a big-band feel to the arrangements (especially in the trumpet parts). As for Freed himself, his participation was minimal; he certainly didn't play any musical instrument, though he introduces a few numbers (and adds a few exhortations here and there) in a hepcat tone of voice. ~ Richie Unterberger

Definitive anthology of the band that brought Sir Bob Geldof the rock prominence. Between 1977 and 1984, The Boomtown Rats scored 14 hit singles in the UK charts, including two Number Ones, and enjoyed five chart albums. With one of the greatest bands to emerge from the musical turmoil of 1976, Geldof and the multi-million selling Boomtown Rats wrote a stack of classic songs that transcended their generation and can still be heard on radio stations across the country every day.
THE BEST OF THE BOOMTOWN RATS is a 19-track collection of songs by '70s and '80s British rockers The Boomtown Rats, featuring Sir Bob Geldof and the songs "I Don't Like Mondays" and "She's So Modern."
Since the breakup of the Boomtown Rats, there have been two prior compilations of their work. The first, released in the U.S. shortly after the band's formal demise, was Columbia Records' 1987 The Greatest Hits, which contained ten tracks and was a reasonable singles collection for the LP era. It is out of print. The second, released in 1994 in the U.K. on Vertigo Records, was Loudmouth: The Best of the Boomtown Rats and Bob Geldof, a 17-track CD containing 11 Boomtown Rats tracks and six solo songs by Geldof, the group's former lead singer. (In 1997, Columbia/Legacy reissued this album under the title Great Songs of Indifference: The Best of Bob Geldof and the Boomtown Rats, trimming one of the Geldof tracks.) So, this set, which contains 19 selections, all by the band, is necessarily the most comprehensive compilation so far. The tracks were chosen by an Internet fan poll, subject to Geldof's approval (it's not clear whether he vetoed anything). It's hard to criticize the fans' taste, although, unlike the previous compilers, they chose to leave out "House on Fire," a U.K. Top 40 hit. Had Geldof or the band chosen the tracks, you can be sure the selection would have been more balanced over the group's six albums, and since their work deteriorated over time, that would not have been for the best. Instead, the fans have properly concentrated ...
