Tying in with his cameo appearance in Steven Spielberg's film The Terminal, saxophonist Benny Golson returns with Terminal 1. Featuring more of his sophisticated and swinging tunes, the album finds Golson in top form on some of his best compositions in years. Joining him on the front line here are esteemed trumpeter Eddie Henderson, deft pianist Mike LeDonne, bassist Buster Williams, and drummer Carl Allen. The title track is a mid-'60s-sounding angular piece designed to bring to mind the hustle of airports. Similarly engaging is the gorgeous ballad "Park Avenue Petite," which allows for some burnished melodicism from Henderson. It is also nice to hear Golson and company dig into the under-recorded standard "Cherry." Calling to mind the best Blue Note-era recordings, Terminal 1 is one flight of fancy not to be missed. ~ Matt Collar

| | Dennis Brown Stone Cold World CD (1999)
Terminal 1
$9.69 Two months after Dennis Brown's untimely passing in July 1999, STONE COLD WORLD was released. Billed as his last work, that designation may have set off alarms that STONE COLD was one of those hastily compiled albums hoping to capitalize on a tragedy. However, that's not the case. Although this is a very poppy, mostly lovers' rock album, it is well-crafted by celebrated producer Augustus "Gussie" Clarke.
The 13 tracks are done in Gussie's dub-flavored, bubbly-sounding ...

| | Billy Joel Greatest Hits III CD (1997) (Import) Japan; Remastered; Mini LP Sleeve
Terminal 1
$29.79 In his own inimitable fashion, Billy Joel has crafted some of the catchiest pop hits of the '80s and '90s, and most of them--17, to be exact--are on this disc. The jaunty, nostalgic "Keeping the Faith" opens things up, and we cruise right down memory lane with Billy: through the pop-soul of "A Matter of Trust," the brash, rocking "I Go to Extremes" and "All About Soul" (remixed here to good effect). Joel has grown over the course of his long career, and you can trace his maturity as an artist through these later songs. The tone is a bit darker, a bit edgier than on his earlier tunes. This is an artist who has always been about making pop music, but he's also lived and learned: "You gotta get tough/but that ain't enough/it's all about soul." Fans will probably agree, and will enjoy this collection immensely.

| | Patricia Adams With Our Compliments CD (2004)
Terminal 1
$6.69 BACKGROUND: "I met engineer, Nick Joyce in November 2003 at a benefit my band played at Boston's World Trade Center. Nick worked for the event's sound company and it turned out, engineered at his own studio in Weymouth, MA. For a few years, I had been wanting to record a piano/vocal album. "I wanted to capture - - document, if you will - - the sheer glee of vocal soaring with piano. Including drums was a sentimental afterthought. "Multiple variables challenged our studio sessions. Nick and I started talking about what might be possible. I got out of the way and Nick cuddled up with the music. With Our Compliments is the result." Patricia Adams, bandleader & vocalist ABOUT NICK . . .Nick's experience includes work with Miles Davis as production manager/monitor engineer between 1982 and 1987. He was studio technician for Decoy, You're Under Arrest and Tutu, Grover Washington Jr. (FOH engineer 1990) and John Scofield (FOH engineer/broadcast engineer/tour manager 1989-1996). These are the most notable. Nick has been Audio Designer and FOH engineer for the Litchfield Jazz Festival for the past 3 years. Read more about Nick on his website, www.npstudios.com. ABOUT "WITH OUR COMPLIMENTS!"Be Careful, It's My Heart was composed by Irving Berlin in 1942. It is one of those standards that might be termed not-so-standard, just because it's not often played though the melody sounds familiar. Something Cool was composed by Billy Barnes in 1957. As he mixed each tune, Nick emailed comments. About Something Cool, Nick emailed, "the emotional performance of Something Cool is so strong, I think it needs to be pushed into #2 . . . . i went for a more theatrical feel, reaching into the drama and melancholy of the tune. I envision hearing this as if in a medium sized theatre, a scene from ...
