| | Duke Pearson Phantom CD Duke Pearson Discography of CDs
After his big band experiment, Duke Pearson returned to a smaller group setting, but he didn't scale back his ambitions. The Phantom finds Pearson writing an ambitious set of post-bop that expands the boundaries of the music with Latin percussion and complex harmonies derived from the avant-garde. His supporting band is fairly large, featuring Jerry Dodgion (flute), Bobby Hutcherson (vibes), Sam T. Brown (guitar), Alexander Gafa (guitar), Bob Cranshaw (bass), Mickey Roker (drums), Carlos "Patato" Valdes (conga), and Victor Pantoja (conga), but they're agile, bringing a spark and energy to the difficult arrangements. The results aren't always successful, but they are intriguing and worth investigating. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

| | Ray Davies Kinks Choral Collection CD (2009)
Phantom CD music
$15.05 
Orchestral and choral arrangements of rock songs have been a curious subgenre ever since the mid-'60s when Andrew Loog Oldham arranged The Rolling Stones Songbook for syrupy strings, but The Kinks Choral Collection stands apart from the pack for the simple reason that it's not the project of some associate or admirer, but rather chief Kink Ray Davies. His very presence as arranger and lead vocal means The Kinks Choral Collection isn't nearly as stuffy and middlebrow as so many of these orchestral rock albums; he manages to inject some semblance of rock & roll by pushing the songs forward with guitar, and letting the rhythms swing instead of plod. This looseness is the first big surprise of the album. The second is its unrepentant but quite possibly accidental silliness, how many of the major guitar riffs are transposed for choir, an audacious idea in concept that's simply goofy in practice. These choral chants hamper the hardest rocking songs here -- ...
| | Larry Coryell Lady Coryell CD (1969)
Phantom music CDs
$10.65 
This 1968 set is for anyone who felt let down when the early '70s promise for a truly creative, genre-busting fusion of jazz and rock swiftly disappeared in a wave of vapid, show biz values and disco frippery.
On Lady Coryell, the 25-year-old Larry Coryell already possessed a virtuoso's technique and a rich harmonic and melodic imagination. He uses these gifts here to build swirling, multi-tracked, oftentimes intensely psychedelic performances that range seamlessly across the jazz and rock landscape. The most important tracks are "Treats Style" and "Stiff Neck." On the former, the guitarist is teamed with jazz masters Jimmy Garrison (bass) and Elvin Jones (drums) in a power trio of cool swagger and screaming blues. "Stiff Neck"is a furious duet between Jones and the guitarist. Coryell begins in a driving, post-bop vein, segues to a raw, ...

| | Doug Ferony I'm In Love With A Girl CD (2008)
Phantom CD music
$16.45
Doug Ferony continues his determined effort to bring fresh renderings of the great standards to public notice. This time around he has thrown in some captivating originals, including the title tune which appeared on the soundtrack of the film, Mr. Vincent. Also unlike his previous release, where he was joined by Dena DeRose on piano, Ferony has enlisted the services of the Clark Gault Big Band to work with for most of the cuts. Unfortunately, the names of these fine musicians are not included in the liner notes except for soloists. Those getting front and center attention are Gault on trombone, Gary Pack on trumpet and Tim Ries on alto sax. Pack provides an especially telling performance on “It Had to be You” as does Ries on the “The Very Thought of ...
