Constantly underrated during their '40s prime -- though respected by jazz fans including Miles Davis -- the Claude Thornhill band paved the way for the softer-toned cool jazz of the '50s with a set of arrangements (by Thornhill himself or Gil Evans). The Rare Columbia Recordings collects some of the orchestra's more obscure charts, though not the experimental titles that a Gil Evans fan would relish. After slotting a pair of early chart favorites ("Harbor Lights," "Ebb Tide"), the compilers include Thornhill versions of several novelties made famous by other leaders -- "(Ting-a-Ling) The Bad Humor Man" from Kay Kyser, "Orange Blossom Lane" from Glenn Miller, "If You Were the Only Girl in the World" from Perry Como, "Rose O'Day (The Filla-Ga-Dusha Song)" from Kate Smith. Other selections fare better, usually soft-toned standards such as "Night and Day," "Something to Remember You By," or "Yours Is My Heart Alone." ~ John Bush

Escapist treats abound from this mysterious, tongue-in-cheek collective from the Southern United States. Man or Astro-man? have an ear for yesterday's sounds of tomorrow, as they decorate their mostly instrumental tracks with obscure sound bytes from out-of-date sci-fi movies and forgotten TV shows. Silly, dangerous, occasionally sloppy, but never boring, their album Is It Man...or Astro-Man? is the answer for everyone ...

Rare Columbia Recordings music CDs
$14.65
Digitally remastered using 20-bit technology by Erick Labson (MCA Music Media Studios).
This Deluxe Edition of COLTRANE includes a bonus disc of previously unissued material.
McCoy Tyner (piano); Jimmy Garrison (bass); Elvin Jones (drums).
John Coltrane's albums, especially the ones he recorded in the 1960s, can usually be assessed as either groundbreaking or "ground holding" (that is, Coltrane would develop trails he'd previously blazed). COLTRANE (1962) may fall into the latter category, but that doesn't make it any less satisfying. Featuring the great saxophonist's legendary quartet (pianist McCoy Tyner, drummer Elvin Jones, and bassist Jimmy Garrison), COLTRANE is packed with spectacular playing, especially on the lengthy, winding "Out of This World," the pulsing, Eastern-tinged "Tunji," and the hard bop-flavored "Miles' Mode."
Recorded one month after DAKAR, COLTRANE explores many similar directions, and again features the tenor saxophonist as part of a three-horn front line, albeit with baritone saxophone and a trumpeter. It also showcases Texan Red Garland on the first three cuts, while DAKAR pianist Mal Waldron is featured on the final three.
The rhythm team of Albert Heath and Paul Chambers gives COLTRANE a more centered rhythm feel than its predecessor, as the bass player's huge beat and elegant harmonic sense set the pace on both ballads and hard hard-driving swing pieces. Drummer Heath introduces "Bakal" with an African rhythm motif supported by bass and baritone counterpoint, as Coltrane and trumpeter Johnnie Splawn essay the chanting melody before breaking into a swinging bridge that is pure Max Roach-Clifford Brown in its steely articulation and sweet voicings. Garland's spacious, laid-back statement sets the stage for Coltrane's swaggering solo, in which he constructs long melodic refrains from splintered thematic scraps.
Again, Coltrane's balance of ruminative and expressive materials is a sign of his growing maturity as an improviser. "While My Lady Sleeps" is given a haunting treatment, sleepwalking between an Arabic-flavored vamp and a dancing two-beat release, while "Violets For Your Furs" is a classic, one of Coltrane's most sumptuous and tender performances. "Time Was" ...
| | Marcus Printup New Boogaloo CD (2002) (Import) Germany
Rare Columbia Recordings songs
$20.39
The title The New Boogaloo has a strong soul-jazz connotation; it makes one think of the type of groove-oriented, R&B-drenched jazz that improvisers like Lou Donaldson, Pucho, Jack McDuff, and Charles Earland provided in the '60s and early '70s. It brings to mind an era in which the soul-jazz organists who were coming out of Philadelphia (the capitol of the Hammond B-3), Chicago, and New York didn't hesitate to let you know that they held Sonny Rollins and the Temptations in equally high regard. Recorded ...
