One can sympathize with Freddie Cole's plight. The younger brother of Nat King Cole, Freddie has spent most of his life in his brother's shadow, even though Nat died in 1965. The problem is that Freddie is also a pianist/vocalist and sometimes performs similar material. In fact, the title of this CD is a bit absurd, since Cole is heard playing in the same type of group that Nat made famous (a trio with guitarist Ed Zad and bassist Eddie Edwards) and his repertoire includes such songs as "Home Fried Potatoes," "To Whom It May Concern," "The Best Man," and a ten-minute, six-song "Nat Cole Medley." Add to that such originals as "He Was the King" and "I'm Not My Brother, I'm Me," and one is not allowed to forget for a moment that Freddie was Nat's brother. Actually, Freddie has an older and raspier voice (which is natural, since he has outlived Nat) and his piano style is more tied to 1950s jazz (such as Red Garland) than to swing. This fairly definitive CD from Freddie Cole does give one a strong sampling of his talents. ~ Scott Yanow

| | Wynton Marsalis Magic Hour CD (2004)
I'm Not My Brother, I'm Me CD music
$11.59 Additional personnel includes: Diane Reeves, Bobby McFerrin (vocals).
In some ways, THE MAGIC HOUR marks some major changes for Wynton Marsalis; after what must seem like a lifetime on Columbia, it's his first record for Blue Note. He's also working with a group of younger musicians in a new quartet. And after a series of conceptual pieces, classical performances, big-band outings and the like, it's a return to the small-group format. At the same time, listening to Marsalis's precise-but-effortless trumpet elocution and natural swing, it's easy to feel like nothing has changed in the trumpet doyen's musical heart of hearts since his first recordings in the early 1980s.
Things start off with a blues that reaches back to Marsalis's New Orleans roots, with the leader making saucy interjections in and around Dianne Reeves's guest ...
| | Terry Gibbs 52ND & Broadway: Songs Of The Bebop Era CD (2004)
I'm Not My Brother, I'm Me music CDs
$15.19 Terry Gibbs has left an indelible mark on the jazz world since 1947. With more than 65 albums to his credit and as the creator of over 300 compositions, the vibist continues to impress his fans with the addition of 52nd & Broadway: Songs of the Bebop Era to his repertoire. Gibbs pays homage to the jazz artists and their timeless standards with the accompaniment of an excellent rhythm section, a string section, and guest soloists James Moody, Nicholas Payton, Sam Most, and Tom Ranier. The 12-track recording opens with Monk's "Round Midnight," which Gibbs treats as a bossa nova. With two superior solos and sublime call and response from Gibbs on vibes and Payton on trumpet, this song is both reflective and buoyant. On Lester Young's blues "Jumping With Symphony Sid," tenor ...

| | Fess Williams 1926-1930 CDs (2003)
I'm Not My Brother, I'm Me CD music
$30.89 Kentucky-born saxophonist, singer, and bandleader Fess Williams (1894-1975) oversaw the recording of more than 75 sides for Gennett, Vocalion, Brunswick, and Victor during the years 1925-1930. In 2003, the mighty and majestic Jazz Oracle label reissued 37 titles and 13 alternate takes dating from 1926-1930 for a whopping total of 50 vintage tracks, far more Fess Williams than anyone had ever managed to assemble in one package. Had they dispensed with the alternates and opted instead for the missing earlier titles (which just happen to add up to 13), this marvelous collection would have been even more comprehensive. Fess Williams & His Royal Flush Orchestra (one can only hope in earnest that the band's name referred to playing cards rather than plumbing) was a lively hot jazz band that paralleled, at its best, bands being led at that time by Luis Russell, King Oliver, Charlie Johnson, and Bennie Moten. Some ...

I'm Not My Brother, I'm Me CD music
$16.59 Weave of K. is an electronic/experimental project of K. Durr. Presently, he has been experimenting with video games sounds of the Atari 2600, the Nintendo Gameboy and 8-bit handheld games. K Durr is also an avid circuit bender and incorporates it "musically" in his songs. Circuit bending is the creative short-circuiting of electronic devices such as low voltage, battery-powered guitar effects, children's toys and small digital synthesizers to create new musical or visual instruments and sound generators. Emphasizing spontaneity and randomness, the techniques of circuit bending have been commonly associated with noise music, though many more conventional contemporary musicians and musical groups have been known to experiment with ...
