| | Cybill Shepherd Mad About The Boy CD Cybill Shepherd Discography of CDs
MAD ABOUT THE BOY is an album featuring the musical stylings of actress Cybil Shepherd. It includes the songs "Triste," "This Masquerade," and "Do It Again."
The Japanese reissue has remastered sound and comes in an LP-style sleeve.
In contrast to most actor/actresses-turned-vocalists, there's nothing to joke about on this album -- no Golden Throats candidates, except maybe the title track. For starters, Shepherd has a solid jazz ensemble backing her up, led by Stan Getz and arranged by Oscar Neves, and gives us a very enjoyable jazz-flavored record. She takes the Fred Astaire approach to singing, not denying that she has a limited range but working carefully within that range and even using those limitations to her advantage. Getz's solos perfectly complement Shepherd's voice, and she stretches out ravishingly on "This Masquerade," "I'm Old Fashioned" is a sexy torch number in her hands, without a trace of campiness, "Speak Low" soars subtly and elegantly, and the opening number, Ginastera's "Triste," is a sophisticated piece of concert music and a triumph for her as well. Peculiarly enough, the title track doesn't hold up as well as the rest, the weakness in her voice coming through at various points in its length, and is the only second-rate number here, although it is fun. Frank Rosolino (trombone), Terry Trotter (piano), and Monty Budwig (upright bass) make up the rest of the core of the band. ~ Bruce Eder

Mad About The Boy songs
$6.75 
A surprise best-seller when it was first released, this mostly improvised pairing of singer/keyboardist/producer Al Kooper with two major guitar heroes of the day sounds fascinating all these years later precisely because of the distance of time--nobody makes records like this any more. The material runs the gamut from folk pop (covers of Donovan and Dylan), to blues ("Albert's Shuffle," "You Don't Love Me"), to heady jams ("His Holy Modal Majesty"), to big-band jazz ("Harvey's Tune").
All the tunes make effective templates for the kind off-the-cuff music-making that in less capable hands might have resulted in simple noodling. In fact, although Bloomfield and Stills don't play together on any of the cuts (Bloomfield played on one side of the original LP, Stills on the other), all three principals get off lots of good licks and producer Kooper has some interesting tricks ...

Boswell's first release for Hearts of Space expands his musical and stylistic palette. Along with the expressive piano and saxophone work that mark his first releases, Count Me In adds touches of folk and jazz elements for an increasingly diverse style. "Do It as a Friend" melds fretless bass and piano with Irish whistle and soprano sax for a Celtic-jazz hybrid, while "Skye Boat Song" explores the Celtic tradition further by adding silky piano and cello to a melody based on an old Scottish folk song. ...

| | Gil Scott-Heron Free Will CD (1972) Remastered
Mad About The Boy CD music
$9.79 
Keyboardist /composer/vocalist Gil Scott-Heron is best known for his politically-charged spoken word cut "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised." But it so happens that he's one heck of a soul singer -- think Billy Preston on a particularly jazzy day. This 1972 session features 12 tunes including the moving "Get Out Of The Ghetto Blues."
Gil Scott-Heron's third album is split down the middle, the first side being a purely musical experience with a full band (including flutist Hubert Laws and drummer Pretty Purdie), the second functioning more as a live rap session with collaborator Brian Jackson on flute and a few friends on percussion. For side one, although he's overly tentative on the ballad "The Middle of Your Day," Scott-Heron excels on the title track and the third song, "The Get Out of the Ghetto Blues," one of his best, best-known performances. The second side is more of an impromptu performance, with Scott-Heron often explaining his tracks by way of introduction ("No Knock" referred to a new police policy whereby knocking ...
| | Popular Songs: The Best Of Wynton Marsalis CD (2001)
Mad About The Boy music CDs
$7.59
Digitally remastered by Mark Wilder & Seth Foster (Sony Music Studios, New York, New York).
In the 1980s and '90s alone, trumpeter Wynton Marsalis produced a huge catalog of music. On this compilation, listeners are treated to 12 of his most memorable recorded moments from this era. "Black Codes" is an early composition from the 1985 album of the same name. Despite the heavy influence of Miles Davis, this tune (not to mention the BLACK CODES album) manages to be imaginative and idiosyncratic, proving the virtuosic brilliance of Marsalis.
Ray Noble's "Cherokee" is another tune that shows off Marsalis's incredible technique. He burns through this chart, with his searing bebop lines harking back to early Dizzy Gillespie. "Double Rondo on the River (Pedro's Getaway)" borrows from the Duke Ellington tradition; cosmopolitan, sophisticated, and highly arranged, this tune morphs back and forth between contemporary jazz and 1940s Harlem swing. Elsewhere, "Root Groove" and "Sunflowers" share the same swampy groove in part, due to drummer ...
| | Essential Dave Brubeck CD (2003) Japan
Mad About The Boy songs
$42.39
Recorded between 1949 & 2002. Includes liner notes by Joel Lewis.
It's hard to summarize the highlights of a career as long and prolific as Dave Brubeck's in a two-CD compilation. If you're going to settle for that, however, The Essential Dave Brubeck is a good job, spanning 1949 to 2002, with 76 minutes of music on each disc. Although a few of these tracks were drawn from his early Fantasy recordings and his later Concord/MusicMasters/Telarc discs, the overwhelming bulk of them come from his days at Columbia from the mid-'50s through the late '60s. "Take Five" is here, of course, as are some of his better- known recordings, like "Blue Rondo a La Turk," "Take the 'A' Train" (a live 1954 performance), "Audrey," and "Some Day My Prince ...
| | Oregon Music Of Another Present Era CD (1972)
Mad About The Boy album
$16.05
MUSIC FROM ANOTHER PRESENT ERA is an important early work by one of the more consistently innovative and groundbreaking jazz fusion ensembles. A quartet comprised of multi-instrumentalists, Oregon fused a chamber-style classical approach with the improvisatory range of jazz and the melodies and rhythms of Indian and African music. As their compositions often tended toward quiet, acoustic, and meditative atmospheres, Oregon seemed to bridge New Age, classical, world music, and jazz all ...
