The combination of trumpeter Shaw's unique gift and untimely passing make him one of jazz's great should've-beens in the eyes of many. This and the other posthumous Shaw releases on 32 Jazz show '90s listeners that the achievements he managed in his too-short life were plenty on which to base a legacy. Known for his progressive approach toward improvisation, Shaw turns his inventive ear and chops to standards on IMAGINATION. The results are predictably illuminating. Shaw's individualistic sense of phrasing and distaste for wasted notes invests these old chestnuts with new life. A listener stumbling across the delicate, simple beauty of the title tune could be forgiven for pegging it as a Shaw original, such is the trumpeter's power of revivification. Trombonist Steve Turre matches Shaw phrase for phrase on this 1987 date, and the two men's ensemble phrasing on "Dat Dere" and elsewhere helps give IMAGINATION its distinctive flavor.

Digitally remastered by Gene Paul (1999, DB Plus Digital Services).
The late Woody Shaw was one of the best jazz trumpet players from the late '60s to the early '80s. Perhaps he wasn't better known because he had one foot planted in the hard-bop tradition (he played with Art Blakey, Max Roach and Horace Silver) and one in the avant-garde ...

Imagination songs
$29.79
Arriving just at the end of Hall & Oates' phenomenal streak of success in the early '80s, 3 Hearts in the Happy Ending Machine, Daryl Hall's second solo album, was viewed as the first overture in a solo career but, in retrospect, its kinship with his first solo effort, 1980's Sacred Songs, is apparent. There is some indication that Hall had to make, or wanted to make, some concessions to bring it onto the charts -- ...

| | Univers Zero Uzed CD (1984)
Imagination CD music
$14.25
Regarded by some as the least successful recording of Univers Zero's early years, Uzed is still well worth hearing. The CD starts quite impressively with "Présage," which has one of those haunting Univers Zero themes, equal parts lyrical and dramatic, and is certainly the equal of anything else in the Univers Zero oeuvre. Subsequent tracks, though, are rather nondescript. One problem is that the band, with only drummer Daniel Denis and bassist Christian Genet left from the original lineup, is beginning to move away from the acoustic chamber music of prior releases (especially those immediately preceding Ceux du Dehors) and toward a more contemporary progressive rock sound, with electric guitars and prominent synthesizers. All compositions are penned by Denis, and the usual Univers Zero precision is ...
| | David Benoit 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection CD (2005) Remastered
Imagination music CDs
$8.09
The "best-of" concept is more suited to pop musicians than to jazz players, if only because pop stars' more highly regarded works often have quantifiable markers of success, e.g., making the Top 40. Of course, the world of smooth jazz has its charts, too, even if they are only radio charts for industry tipsheets, and over the years musicians learn which tunes their audiences respond to most in concert. Still, the compiling of a highlights disc such as this one, part of Universal's discount-priced 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection series, remains somewhat subjective. Pianist David Benoit has been with Universal's GRP label since 1987, and compilation producer Mike Ragogna, choosing 12 tracks from ten albums released over 16 years, seems to have gone as much for familiarity and variety as anything else in his ...

Imagination songs
$11.39
Quarantine is:Jason Ourso - VocalsRusty Laughlin - GuitarRandall Stephens - BassJon Maher - DrumsQuarantine started about 1997. Two years later in March of 1999, "Decay" was recorded. Quarantine became KNEVER around the year 2000. What became of Knever did not come from just one source, it came from almost two different worlds which came together making a strange but tight/heavy style. Around 1996 the knever's singer Jason Ourso had helped form a band called No Sane Ways(formerly Decent). After playing shows around the Baton Rouge area for almost two years Corey Tisdale (Bass) left the band to go to school out of town. The band struggled for a while until Jason suggested bringing ...

| | Frank Morgan Night In The Life CD (2007)
Imagination CD music
$13.85
Frank Morgan's final release while still alive stands as a testament to his gentle, unassuming soul, his fluid drive playing the bop music born from the seeds and stems germinated by Charlie Parker, and his ability to touch a live audience with music. This third volume of club dates at the Jazz Standard in New York City falls along the lines of the previous issues, with pianist George Cables, bassist Curtis Lundy, and drummer Billy Hart in capable, empathetic, and friendly support. There's nothing new or earth-shattering about the six standards and bop chestnuts heard here, but the pure love injected by Morgan, well into his seventies, is as heartwarming as it is impressive. Morgan may miss a note here or there, as on the intro number, Parker's tricky "Confirmation," but that's nitpicking. It seems his ideas flow for days and weeks instead of the eight- to ten-minute average tune he interprets. The alto sax master is truly involved with these melodies and plays them in an unhurried fashion, but seemingly can't wait to start his solos, where ...
