Recorded live at Jack Welch's Kings and Queens jazz club in Pawtucket, Rhode Island on December 7, 1963, this pleasant set features tenor saxophonist Ben Webster doing his thing backed by the house trio (Mike Renzi on piano, Bob Pettrutti on bass, and Joe Veletri on drums). On display is Webster's patented breathy and slurred horn attack, which is sweet as September honey (particularly on the ballads) without ever being saccharine. The recording itself is fair, although there is some tape hiss and crowd noise (at one point you can actually hear an audience member ordering a drink) and the edited cuts between tracks can be a bit abrupt, but as an archival document of Webster playing in a small club with a competent -- if a bit ardent at times -- trio behind him, this set is well-worth checking out. Within a year Webster would leave the states for more sympathetic and enthusiastic audiences in Europe, like many of the veteran jazz players of his generation, and settle in Copenhagen, where he based himself until his death in 1973. ~ Steve Leggett

Ben Webster With The Mike Renzi Trio album
 $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 ...

| | Herb Alpert South Of The Border CD (1964) Remastered; Special Edition
Ben Webster With The Mike Renzi Trio album
$10.49
Herb Alpert/Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass/Tijuana Brass: Herb Alpert (trumpet); John Pisano (electric guitar); Tonni Kalash (trumpet); Bob Edmondson (trombone); Lou Pagani (piano); Pat Senatore (bass guitar); Nick Ceroli (drums).
Herb Alpert was still using an array of SoCal studio all-stars as his Tijuana Brass when South of the Border (1964) began to restore the combo's good name after the modest Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass, Vol. 2 (1963) failed to ignite a fire in listener's ears. In his essay accompanying Shout! Factory's 2005 Signature Series reissue of South of the Border, Alpert comments that the Sol Lake composition "Mexican Shuffle" "opened a new door for me." That passageway meant the loss of the Tijuana Brass' practically forced mariachi style and the rise of Alpert's approach in arranging familiar melodies in fresh, creative settings. ...
| | Les Paul & Friends: American Made World Played CD (2005)
Ben Webster With The Mike Renzi Trio CD music
$11.29
Released in celebration of Les Paul's 90th birthday, AMERICAN MADE WORLD PLAYED pays tribute to the master guitarist and inventor who changed the face of jazz, country, blues, and rock with his recording and guitar-design innovations. While the lineup here is stellar and includes vocalists Sting, Joss Stone, and Mick Hucknall (Simply Red), and guitarists Joe Perry (Aerosmith) and Richie Sambora (Bon Jovi), among others, the album is at its best when it allows Paul to shine in an instrumental setting, as on the slinky rendition of Duke Ellington's "Caravan" and the funky "69 Freedom Special."

The Dividers: "Life's Balcony"This is NOT your kids Rock & Roll BandFinally, finally, finally! Someone is speaking to me! Yes, I'm from the classic rock generation, and I have to admit, the kids today don't know a good tune.Here's what I need: I need NEW tunes from MY era's sound. I need a messages for my age group. I need those classic texures. I miss having the thrill of the era gone by. BUT I need something I can relate to.......and this is it, the 3rd and newest CD from The Dividers, 'Life's Balcony,' answers my every middle age desires. The album's eclectic blend from this over-40 band speaks right to those of us who knew what good rock music was (at a time when it mattered). After one listen, I ask: Who needs today's kids?"Steve Valvano and Robert Moore, the groups writers, take up the challenge of weaving everyday mid-life experiences of love, hope, parenthood, and passing time into 14 upbeat/catchy tunes (just like they use to!). How many of 'today's'(young)rock bands would actually write with the honesty(or insight)of a father giving his son advise on life as witnessed in 'I See A Lot of Me'? The album's title track is about the inevitable pause that all couples take as they contemplate their path, both past and present. The song's joy jumps out while ...
