| | Antonio Carlos Jobim Wave CD Antonio Carlos Jobim Discography of CDs
Perhaps Antonio Carlos Jobim's best-known album, 1967's WAVE was Jobim's first release for his longtime producer Creed Taylor's special CTI imprint at A&M Records. In fact, it was only the label's second release--after Wes Montgomery's A DAY IN THE LIFE--and WAVE went a long way towards establishing both the sound and even the look of the fledging label. Playing guitar, piano and harpsichord on these 10 original instrumentals, Jobim is backed by a small combo and Claus Ogerman's usually tasteful but occasionally overbearing strings. The tracks are brief--over half are under three minutes--introducing a theme, coloring it with a few brief solos and a lot of solid ensemble playing, and then fading. The overall mood is mellow without being sleepy, and as a whole, WAVE is a soothing, almost intoxicating delight. While it's probably not Jobim's best album, it's certainly one of his most offhandedly entertaining. Antonio Carlos Jobim Wave Songs | 1. | Wave | $0.99 | |

Purchase Wave CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Diana Krall Quiet Nights CD (2009)
Wave album
 $13.69   
Diana Krall's first studio outing since she and husband Elvis Costello became the proud parents of twin boys, 2009's QUIET NIGHTS finds the jazz singer/pianist turning in a serene and pleasantly subdued set. Krall breezes through a few bossa nova standards, most notably "The Girl from Ipanema" (here gender-reversed to "The Boy...") and the title track (originally "Corcovado"), both penned by the legendary Antonio Carlos Jobim. QUIET NIGHTS isn't solely a Brazilian-themed outing, however, as Krall also spends plenty of time in the comfortable ...
| | Jeff Hamilton Symbiosis CD (2009)
Wave CD music
$12.59 
Jeff Hamilton's recordings have always been focused as straight-ahead and mainstream as your typical superhighway, with occasional time for rest stops, gassing up, and sleepovers. While always a good listen, Hamilton and his non-stop rotation of up-and-coming pianists and bassists never really pushed the envelope, staying the course set by his mentor, the late, great bassist Ray Brown, and other California-based coolsters. With Symbiosis, though, there's a change in the weather with the addition of extraordinary young talent in pianist Tamir Hendelman and bassist Christoph Luty. This is not at all to say that Hamilton's music had no fire, guts, or glory, but the difference ...

Wave album
$7.59
A TRIBUTE TO JACK JOHNSON was originally conceived as the soundtrack for a documentary on the life of the first African American heavyweight boxing champion, but the album stands on its own as one of the most brilliant, compelling fusion recordings ever made. This is due in large part to the increasing influence of rock and funk on Miles's aesthetic, to the superb musicians (including Davis himself-- who turns in some stunningly vigorous solos), and in part to the production skills of Teo Macero, who collaged the album ...

$12.65 
If you don't like Lite Jazz, Contemporary Jazz, Instrumental Pop, whatever you want to call it; stuff that wouldn't sound out of place in between David Sanborn and Kenny G on your local radio station, you probably shouldn't even be reading this far, because Spyro Gyra are avatars of the style. If their bag is your bag, however, you can feel comfortable diving right in to the sonic tapestry that is ROAD SCHOLARS. The band's synth-driven instrumental assault, ...

AT LAST...THE DUETS ALBUM is something of a departure in terms of what one might expect from a Kenny G album. The mellow saxophonist came to fame as a purveyor of soothing instrumental jazz/pop, but AT LAST marks his collaboration with a bevy of superstar vocalists. The singers that join the man formerly known as Gorelick come from all musical walks; Brian McKnight adds his contemporary R&B touch to the 1980s Wham! hit "Careless Whisper," country/pop siren LeAnn Rimes kicks ...
| | Granian On My Own Two Feet CD (2004)
Wave songs
$12.65
Recent Reviews of "On My Own Two Feet""The slick but jangly songs on his fourth album, ''My Own Two Feet,'' recall the heartachey alternative pop of Matchbox 20, Live and John Mayer. "On My Own,'' ''My Voice'' and ''Ain't That a Shame'' give him a chance to show off his strong but friendly tenor and smarts in the studio. The songs, which build from simple acoustic guitar parts to carefully maintained full-band peaks, are as tuneful, tightly composed and expertly produced as anything with the stamp of a major label."- Ben Sisario, The New York Times"As tuneful as Tonic, intense as Ryan Cabrera, powerful as Switchfoot, commercial as Maroon 5 or Matchbox 20, irresistible as an old Peter Gabriel track and flat out sing-along wonderful as anything Crowded House ever recorded"- Al Muzer, The Aquarian Weekly"Together the group created an album that has soul and passion. Granian belts his heart out and the others complement, rather than compete, with his voice and his lyricism. For a solo project, the debut definitely has potential, showing that he is go in places with a sound, while similar to those before him, which has strength and delight mixed together. The album shows the ability of Granian to make it into the pop mainstream. A powerful sound such as his shows his confidence in himself and his music, which is important. His sound is pleasant to the ear and has a beat that's fun to listen to."- The Badger Herald - University of Wisconsin-Madison"The album is a pop-friendly singer-songwriter effort, and the live show is sure to back that up."- Kari Wethington, cinweekly.com"Those who dig John Mayer and Jason Mraz but want something a little heavier might want to check out Granian. The singer song-writer's music is in the commercial alt-pop/rock vein - only less poppy and more edgy."- Anne Erickson, Lansing State Journal"Here's a chance to say you saw an artist playing the small clubs before he really hit big. The music is soulful and sometimes raw, but also has a seemingly commercial sound. Think early Peter Gabriel."- Lana Mini, Southfield Eccentric"Granian continues to write pop-rock tunes in the vein of Wind-Up Records artists and the late 90's artists that permeated Billboard."- smother.net"Lots of newcomers or lesser-known rock outfits like the boast of being the best band you've never heard, but singer/songwriter Granian can back up the boast."- Arizona Daily Star"Granian is a sensative dude for a post-Dave Matthews/Guster/ John Mayer/ Hootie/Adam Duritz world. And if you really thought that the submission that those fellas bombed the country into was anything besides a complete annihilation, that there was some sorta charred and flattened American landscape left worth exploring to find more of the same and the same of more, then perhaps Granian's sensative acoustic stylings might be just exactly the kinda thing to put on"- Jambands.com"it's one thing to pick up and acoustic guitar and play it for your friends but it's a feat of personal conviction and sheer creative dexterity that allows musicians like Garen to synchronize a live performance like a well oiled clock hammer."- Phreshwater.com"His powerful vocals, aggressive guitar play and intense emotional honesty makes Granian a force to be reckoned with."- Uncle Mike, The Two River ...
