Harry Partch Delusion Of The Fury CD (1999)

Duke Ellington: Memories Of Duke film

$12.35

Harry Partch is one of music's true innovators. Not only does he ignore most of the traditional rules of composition, he created instruments specifically for his music. He wrote for his own 43 note scale. His originality woke audiences and critics to new possibilities. This recording "Delusion of the Fury" dates to its first performances at the UCLA Playhouse in Los Angeles, 1969. Built upon the timeless theme of life and death, the setting is non-specific, but the music sounds decidedly Asian. Partch prefers ambiguity, as he assigns the singers only a handful of words recognizable in any language. Rhythmic and atonal, the piece has a primal ...

Storm Warning: Philly Original Soul Classics, Vol. 1 CD (1998)

Duke Ellington: Memories Of Duke review

$12.95

Although a couple of the groups on this compilation of Philly soul from 1964-71 are well known (Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, Brenda & the Tabulations), the Fantastic Johnny C's "Boogaloo Down Broadway" and the Tabulations' "Right on the Tip of My Tongue" are the only cuts that will be readily recognizable to general fans. It's a grab bag of odds and ends, most fairly interesting. The Volcanos were one of the first groups that Gamble & Huff worked with, and several members would resurface in the Trammps. The two Harold Melvin cuts were done back in 1964, when John Atkins and not Teddy Pendergrass was the lead singer; "Get Out (and Let Me Cry)" is a nice, murky-fidelity Northern soul-type stomper. "The Touch of You," a substantial soul hit though not a pop one, was one of Brenda & the Tabulations' most exquisite ballads. Daryl Hall was part of the blue-eyed soul group Temptones, whose two 1967 A-sides are here. There are also a couple of rare cuts by Kenny Gamble, working as a solo artist in 1966. Overall, several of the cuts have a lighter dance feel, influenced at times by Motown, than the sweet and swirling sound that most associate with late-'60s and early-'70s Philly soul. Not an anthology you'd direct listeners toward if you want them to hear the typical vintage Philly soul sound, but not ...

Branford Marsalis Romare Bearden Revealed CD (2003)

Duke Ellington: Memories Of Duke film

$14.65

Conceptualized around the visionary paintings of Harlem-born artist Romare Bearden (1911-1988), saxophonist Branford Marsalis' Romare Bearden Revealed celebrates the obvious as well as the less tangible connections between the jazz Bearden loved and the artwork it inspired. Reflectively performing some of the songs Bearden co-opted as titles for paintings, Marsalis also includes original compositions inspired by the bluesy, organic quality inherent in Bearden's art. Featuring his working quartet of pianist Joey Calderazzo, bassist Eric Revis, and drummer Jeff "Tain" Watts, the album also includes appearances by the whole Marsalis family. Brother Wynton Marsalis revisits his post-bop "J Mood" from his 1985 album of the same name, which featured cover art by Bearden. The trumpeter also keeps things bawdy with some brilliant plunger work on a live recording of Jelly Roll Morton's "Jungle Blues." Similarly, "B's Paris Blues" finds Branford turning his trademark soprano sax to the 1961 Bearden work Paris Blues, celebrating the beauty and ennui of American black musicians who expatriated to France for artistic and social freedom. Even Harry Connick, Jr. drops by for a lithe and soulful stride duet on James P. Johnson's "Carolina Shout." Perhaps most compelling, though, is guitarist Doug Wamble's solo turn on "Autumn Lamp." Inspired by Beardens' 1981 rural vision of a blues guitarist playing by himself under the glow of candle lamp, Wamble utilizes a resonator guitar with a slide, ...

Duke Ellington: Memories Of Duke DVD

$11.15
The legendary jazz singer Billie Holiday changed the face of pop music forever during the 1930s and 40s, imbuing her every song with the richness and tragedy of her own life and experiences. With a troubled childhood, and later an equally difficult romantic life, as well as substance abuse problems, Holiday's personal story ensured her notoriety; yet it was just this sense of pathos that made her music so affecting. With a broad range of emotion that was always intense and heartfelt, Holiday deviated from traditional notions of jazz singing to create her own style of singing that was passionate, poignant, and heartbreaking.
