| | Tone Jansa Dr Chi CD - Import Tone Jansa Discography of CDs
Probably recorded in the mid-'80s, this delightful collaboration between American trumpeter Woody Shaw and the Tone Jansa Quartet works on nearly every level. Jansa shares the front line with the trumpeter, and is a perfect foil for Shaw on each of Jansa's instruments, tenor and soprano saxophones and flute. Jansa's fluid, driving lines fit beautifully with Shaw's concepts. Even more importantly, Shaw is in great form, and there is an electricity in the air that infuses each track. The generous recording time, coupled with an excellent choice of tunes (four winners by Jansa, the outstanding "Dr. Chi," and thrilling "Zoltan" by Shaw) and good recording quality make this a perfectly tuned experience. A strong addition to Shaw's and Jansa's discographies, and a good introduction to the saxophonist's work. Unfortunately, there are no liner notes, or information about the players or the circumstances under which the recording was made, or even the date of the recording. A shame, too, because this is a near-classic session. ~ Steven Loewy Dr Chi Music | List Price | $41.99 (You save $12.00) | | Category | Rock/Pop Albums, Jazz CDs, Jazz Instrument | | Label | Absord | | Orig Year | 2000 | | CD Universe Part number | 6013488 | | Catalog number | 92 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Jan 28, 2000 | | Mono/Stereo | Stereo | | Additional Info | Japan |

Dr Chi
$10.89  
Nearly a decade after Dean Martin's death, the crooner's fans were finally given the definitive Dino collection. While there was already a two-disc summation of Martin's Capitol recordings, as well as several compilations of his Reprise material, the single-disc, 30-track DINO: THE ESSENTIAL DEAN MARTIN contains a generous selection of the best of his work, culling from both labels' vaults. Steubenville, Ohio's favorite son became a singing star in the 1950s, mostly by virtue of his smooth, easy charm, apparent both in his vocal style and his public image. That charm is crystallized here--the South American lilt of "Sway;" the spare, countryish "Memories Are Made of This" (not insignificantly covered later by Johnny Cash); the laissez-faire swing of "Ain't That a Kick in the Head"--it all bespeaks an uncommon coolness that was Martin's to burn. DINO: ...

| | Billy Boy Arnold Boogie 'N' Shuffle CD (2001)
Dr Chi
$14.49
At this point in his career, harmonica legend Billy Boy Arnold could just coast on his Chicago blues laurels, rehashing his old tunes and tricks whenever he decides to cut a new album. But fortunately, Arnold doesn't buy into shortcuts, and neither does his producer for this session, Duke Robillard. On Boogie 'n' Shuffle, Arnold really lets it rip -- not only in the John Lee Williamson tradition he's well-known for, but also in the R&B traditions of Ray Charles and Jimmy McCracklin. Robillard's band is certainly up to the task, seamlessly switching from flashy soul grooves ("Home in Your Heart") to lazy Jimmy Reed-styled boogies ("Come Here Baby") to Delta blues barrelhouse ("Greenville"). As for Arnold, he's still yet to prove himself a singer of much power or range (he gets a bit overwhelmed by the busy arrangements on "Just Your Fool" and "Greenback"), but he makes up for it with classy phrasing that can turn a run-of-the-mill 12-bar shuffle into a masterpiece -- the swinging "Let's Work It Out" being the best example here. While Arnold does show off some nice harmonica riffs, this isn't exactly a blues harp extravaganza; three of the tunes are harpless, and the emphasis is clearly on Arnold's singing and songwriting. The bonus track interview offers a colorful, anecdotal history of the Chicago blues scene according to Arnold, with glimpses of John Lee Williamson, Willie Dixon, and the hallowed '50s Chess sessions that produced the Bo Diddley beat. ...
