Byrd In Hand Music Review

Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars) 4.5 stars

5 stars Byrd's Best
This is Donald Byrd's best album if you ask me. Unlike many blue notes from this period, this one is much more than a blowing sesison. It is apparent that alot of care went into it. Often the sidemen influence my decision to get something as much as the headliner..the appearence of Charlie Rouse is what really makes this album special. Great tunes, great playing, good recording..about all any jazz fan could ask for. I had tried a few of the "RVG mastered" titles when they first came out and was not impressed...this one is very good. There are a number of mediocore blue notes in the cataloge, due as much to the sheer volume of titles than anything else, this one is among the cream of the crop. review by Chris Henrici

Sergio Mendes Timeless CD (2006) Digipak

Byrd In Hand

$14.39

The phenomenon of legendary older musicians working with younger contemporary artists to broaden artistic and commercial possibilities had almost become its own genre by the mid-2000s. Sergio Mendes's 2006 release TIMELESS keeps that trend alive and kicking. In a full-scale collaboration with Black Eyed Peas, Mendes updates the Brazilian pop he mastered in the 1960s by infusing it with R&B and hip-hop.
The synthesis should come as no surprise. Amid the reggaeton craze of the 2000s, who better to lay down Latin-flavored tracks for MCs than Mr. Brazil 66 himself? But the real clincher here is the roster of guest stars which includes Stevie Wonder, John Legend, Justin Timberlake, the Roots, and the aforementioned Black Eyed Peas, among many others. The odd, yet surprisingly successful combos (Timberlake and underground MC Pharoahe Monch anyone?) mix Mendes's bossa nova and samba with equal doses mainstream pop, funky soul, and hard-edged rap, revealing the polymorphous possibilities in the master's sound, and creating an album that is certainly timely, if not timeless.
It's easy to think that since Santana made his big comeback using a lot of contemporary pop stars it would become the formula for the artists of yore to edge their way back into the limelight. Sergio Mendes, the best-selling Brazilian recording artist of all time, hasn't made a platter in eight years. He plays piano on a Black Eyed Peas track -- "Sexy" from Elephunk -- and the jam's a smash. Will.i.am of the Peas decides to hook up for a full-on collaboration with Mendes, because he's a huge fan. Being the hotshot producer of the moment, will.i.am recruited everyone from Q-Tip, Justin Timberlake, and John Legend to Jill Scott, Black Thought (the Roots), and Stevie Wonder (just to name a few) to sign on. Recorded in both Brazil and the House of Blues in Encino, the set revisits many Mendes and Brazilian songbook classics and reworks them in the modern beat-driven idiom. ...
