| | Herbie Hancock Blue Note Years, Vol. 20 CD Herbie Hancock Discography of CDs
BLUE NOTE YEARS V. 20 is a digital remastering of ten songs from jazz pianist Herbie Hancock's tenure with the Blue Note label. Among the cuts are "Watermelon Man," "Eye of the Hurricane," and "I Have a Dream."
This Japanese audiophile compilation is a solid if incomplete representation of the musical development of Herbie Hancock during his seminal Blue Note period. Tracks are included from each of his albums, though all the choices are obvious. In America, this set would be suitable only for those completists who have everything and are looking for a mixtape from the Blue Note years, or for the utter novice, though the price tag would be prohibitive for the latter group. Solid hard and post-bop with modal flourishes and a little self-indulgence are what mark this music as timeless. The set's most notable cuts are "Speak Like a Child," "Cantaloupe Island," and "Watermelon Man," though everything here is top-notch. ~ Thom Jurek

Blue Note Years, Vol. 20 album
 $15.05   
With The Fall, Norah Jones completes the transition away from her smooth cabaret beginnings and toward a mellowly arty, modern singer/songwriter. Jones began this shift on 2007's Not Too Late, an album that gently rejected her tendencies for lulling, tasteful crooning, but The Fall is a stronger, more cohesive work, maintaining an elegantly dreamy state that's faithful to the crooner of Come Away with Me while feeling decidedly less classicist. Some of this could be attributed to Jones' choice of producer, Jacquire King, best-known for his work with Modest Mouse and Kings of Leon, but King hardly pushes Norah in a rock direction; The Fall does bear some mild echoes of Fiona Apple or Aimee Mann in ballad mode, but its arrangements never call attention ...
| | Harry Connick, Jr Your Songs CD (2009)
Blue Note Years, Vol. 20 CD music
$10.99   
Much like 2001's SONGS I HEARD and 2004's ONLY YOU, 2009's YOUR SONGS finds vocalist/pianist Harry Connick, Jr. coming up with an urbane, passionate set of American popular standards and contemporary pop classics that he both performs and orchestrates. While his previous recordings leaned toward the classicist side--ONLY YOU featured songs of the '50s and '60s--YOUR SONGS features a more eclectic mix of standards and pop songs, with Connick's own lush orchestration lending an overall aesthetic of languid romanticism. To this end, Connick turns Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are" into a kind of Herb Alpert-inspired '60s pop nugget and, conversely, the Beatles' 1964 classic "And I Love Her" gets a kind of '70s Latin lounge feel with classical guitar flourishes. However, ...

Cat Power's (Chan Marshall) disarmingly naive music hits you in the gut with its bare simplicity. Her hurt, vibrato-less tone is pure, velvety, and completely understated. In its simplicity, it seems to convey all the sadness of the world--like a leafless tree silhouetted against slate-gray sky heavy with rain clouds. Marshall accompanies herself on guitar, piano, or autoharp. Her arrangements are minimal--hypnotic, repetitive riffs with chords that barely change. When she hits a bass note, the impact is jarring. Cat Power's ...
