Rob Wasserman has a well-deserved rep as bassist extraordinaire, so it's more than fitting that Rounder should issue his three distinct albums in a package titled Trilogy. The simple title also evokes the simple names of the originals, Solo (1983), Duets (1988), and Trios (1994). The first disc is the easiest to praise without reservation for its virtuoso performance, but perhaps the most difficult to sit back and enjoy. In a way, it's like listening to a jazz bass solo for nearly half an hour (occasionally interrupted by the presence of a bow), which makes it a musician's effort for other musicians. Duets, on the other hand, allows -- from the average listener's perspective -- a more balanced approach, with Wasserman being joined by Lou Reed, Jennifer Warnes, Rickie Lee Jones, and others. This disc would be worth it if for no other reason than to hear Reed turn "One for My Baby (And One More for the Road)" into a half-baked bit of proto-punk. Better, though less curious, are Warnes' simple "Ballad of the Runaway Horse" and Jones' "The Moon Is Made of Gold." Musically speaking, the last disc is the busiest and perhaps the most interesting because of the all-star lineup. Two Wilsons -- Brian and Carnie -- kick off Trios with "Fantasy Is Reality/Bells of Madness," but this is just a warmup for Elvis Costello's jazzy take on "Put Your Big Toe in the Milk of Human Kindness." There are also appearances from Grateful Dead alumni, including Bob Weir on "Easy Answers" and Jerry Garcia on "Zillionaire." Trilogy works well as a package, with each album feeding into the next and then circling back around again. For Wasserman fans, and anyone who ever wondered about the role the bass played in acoustic jazz, Trilogy will satisfy. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford Jr.

Purchase Trilogy CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Dirty Three In The Fishtank CD (2004) Extended Play
Trilogy album
$9.65 In late 1999, the Dutch label KonKurrent invited Minneapolis band Low into an in-house studio to record one of the label's near-legendary In the Fishtank sessions; bands have two days to record between 20-30 minutes of all new material of their choosing. Also touring at the time were Low's pals, the Australian instrumental dynamos the Dirty Three. Low invited them in, and in the same collaborative spirit as another In the Fishtank session involving Tortoise and the Ex, this half-hour session is the document. What is truly amazing about this hookup is how natural these two bands sound playing with one another. Low has been striking out lately, playing different kinds of material while keeping its signature slower-than-slow approach to songwriting. The Dirty Three has taken a more melodic ...
| | Doors Live At The Aquarius Theatre: The First Performance CDs (2001)
Trilogy CD music
$26.69 From the Doors' own Bright Midnight Records comes this double-disc package featuring the first of two sets performed on July 21, 1969, at the Aquarius Theater in Hollywood. The evening was billed as " Elektra Records Showcase Concert Series Presents..." and, as lead vocalist Jim Morrison announces at the outset, these homecoming performances were done for the express purpose of gathering material for a live album. Indeed, this was only the fifth concert appearance that the Doors had been able to secure in the wake of what is referred to as "the Miami incident." While at times pensive, the band members ultimately rise to the occasion as they wind through a set of hits and fan favorites, as well as a few compositions that ...
| | Doors Live At The Aquarius Theatre: The Second Performance CDs (2001)
Trilogy music CDs
$28.15 As the title suggests, this set contains the second of two complete shows from the Doors at the Aquarius Theater in Hollywood, July 21, 1969. Both were professionally documented, anticipating enough material for a stopgap concert album as the band simultaneously composed and arranged new sides for their subsequent Morrison Hotel and LA Woman studio releases. With over three decades under the bridge and the blessings of the surviving bandmembers, Live at the Aquarius Theater: The Second Performance provides a real-time recreation of the entire two-and-a-quarter-hour performance from the sonically superior multi-track tapes. Initially the interaction between the band and audience ...
| | Ike & Tina Turner Nutbush City Limits/Feel Good CD (2006) Bonus Tracks
Trilogy songs
$17.79 Raven's 2006 two-fer Nutbush City Limits/Feel Good combines two of Ike & Tina Turner's last albums together and adds five bonus tracks, three of which were taken from other Ike & Tina albums from the early '70s, one taken from a Tina solo record, and one disco mix of "Nutbush City Limits." The album that arrives first on this two-fer was actually the last of these two to be released: Nutbush City Limits appeared in 1973, a year after Feel Good, but its title track is one of Ike & Tina's best-known songs so it's an appropriate choice to kick off this disc. Besides, the two records are so similar in tone and approach, it'd be easy to assume that Feel Good arrived before Nutbush, but that isn't to say they're interchangeable. Both records are hard day-glo funk, overloaded with fuzz guitars, wah wahs, clavinets and horn sections, but of the two, Nutbush City Limits is a bit closer ...
| | Raga For Peter Walker CD (2006) Digipak
Trilogy album
$11.09 Many of the legends of acoustic guitar in the 20th century have already passed on -- John Fahey, Robbie Basho, Ali Farka Toure. Due partially to his spare recording career, Peter Walker's own reputation has not always been as well known as those of said giants, but his own influence has been considerable. A Raga for Peter Walker -- a tribute album that, in a nice touch, not only consists of work composed by its contributors rather than simply offering up covers but also features some original work by its subject in question -- helps to demonstrate this while he is still here to receive acknowledgement of it. Walker's four originals, all new tracks, bookend the collection, each brief but demonstrating that Walker's ...
