WINDOWS contains PORTRAIT OF MARIAN MCPARTLAND (1979) and AT THE FESTIVAL (1979).
Most NPR listeners have heard of Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz, which has been on the air for over 25 years. As wonderful as the radio program is, however, her close association with the show has made it difficult for jazz fans to remember her full contribution to the genre. Though many McPartland recordings exist, Windows is a fine repackaging of two of her best, Portrait of Marian McPartland from 1979 and At the Festival from 1980. Both feature the pianist in snug quartets, the first featuring alto Jerry Dodgion, drummer Jake Hanna, and bassist Brian Torff, the latter with Torff, Hanna, and alto Mary Fettig. A quick glance at both set lists identifies McPartland as a player comfortable in a number of styles, from standards like Rodgers & Hart's "It Never Entered My Mind" and Duke Ellington's "Cotton Tail" to the post-bop of Chick Corea's "Windows" and Herbie Hancock's "Tell Me a Bedtime Story." Everything clicks on Portrait, with a special nod going to the atmospheric "Wind Flower," highlighted by Dodgion's flute. At the Festival is fine live recording, captured on August 11, 1979 (and thus recorded about three months after Portrait). From the opener, Cole Porter's "I Love You," to the bouncy closer, Sonny Rollins' "Oleo," McPartland and friends turn in first-rate work. Windows only dips into two recordings from McPartland's extensive catalog, but nonetheless offers an excellent place to familiarize oneself with a fine jazz pianist. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford Jr.

Purchase Windows CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Allman Brothers Band Dreams CDs (1989) Box Set
Windows album
 $38.09   
DREAMS is a 4-CD box set compiling in chronological order tracks by the Allman Brothers Band, as well as tracks by bands featuring one or more member of the Allman Brothers Band and solo performances by Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts.
Recorded between 1966 & 1988. Includes a 32-page illustrated booklet and liner notes by John Swenson.
Like nearly all box sets, DREAMS has plenty to recommend it-and a few nagging drawbacks. The set's chief shortcoming is its two conflicting goals: providing an overview of the Allmans' history, thus attracting buyers seeking the ultimate hits package, and including enough unreleased tracks and rarities to appeal to the band's most devoted fans. As a result, DREAMS is neither the definitive Allman Brothers collection nor the gift to hardcore fans that, say, THE BOOTLEG SERIES is to Dylan-philes.
DREAMS' strengths are considerable. First and foremost, the box contains nearly ...

Arguably the last great Crosby Stills and Nash album, CSN was recorded before drugs and interpersonal squabbles wreaked irreparable damage to the group. This creative swan song is probably the trio's darkest, most introspective record, full of ...
| | Stacey Kent Boy Next Door CD (2003)
Windows songs
$14.35 
What strikes the listener about the American expatriate contemporary jazz singer Stacey Kent is, for all her obvious traditionalism, how utterly fresh she sounds. THE BOY NEXT DOOR (released originally in 2003 and reissued in 2008 with two extra tracks) boasts a song list that WW-II-era songbirds such as Jo Stafford or Margaret Whiting would have been comfortable with, including note-perfect versions of Irving Berlin's "Say It Isn't So," "The Trolley Song," and the winsome title track. To be sure, there is an up-to-date bossa nova treatment of "Que rest-t-il de nos amours?" (the original French lyric of "I Wish You Love), which sports a smooth Stan Getz-like solo from Kent's husband, the British tenor saxophonist Jim Tomlinson, as well as some '60s pop gems like "What The World Needs Now" and "You've Got A Friend." Still, Kent's tart, light ...

Fans of modern dub and experimental electronica may know the Israeli-born Raz Mesinai mainly for his work (with John Ward) as one half of Sub Dub, an influential duo of the late 1990s. Sub Dub was lots of fun, but it is on his, own under the Badawi moniker, that Mesinai has taken the most chances and pushed hardest at the boundaries that separate musical genres. A percussionist trained in a number of Middle Eastern styles, Mesinai brings together an impressive roster of New York's downtown scenesters to create a fascinating ...

"combining nineties guitar-driven indie rock like Throwing Muses with the experimentation of last-century's Simple Machines bands (Retsin, Liquorice), Donahue's vocals soar over Cheadle's single-note lines and Trammell's tribal rhythms, creating a beautiful maelstrom of sound that is well informed of Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine without resorting to the slavish parroting that many bands who tread noisier musical paths exhibit. The Love ...
