| | Ray Davies Kinks Choral Collection CD (2009)
Virunga Roots, Vol. 1 CD music
$14.38 
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 guitar riffs are transposed for choir, an audacious idea in concept that's simply goofy in practice. These choral chants hamper the hardest rocking songs here ...

| | Stuff Smith With The Henri Chaix Trio: Late Woman Blues CD (2002) (Import) Denmark
Virunga Roots, Vol. 1 songs
$30.19
Stuff Smith spent the final two years of his life performing in Europe; this previously unreleased Swiss concert from 1965 was finally released some 36 years later. The violinist is accompanied by stride pianist Henri Chaix, young bassist Michel Guillemin, and fellow American expatriate Wallace Bishop (who had resided in Europe since 1950) on drums. Smith is in top form, though the inexperience of the bassist is rather obvious during the awkward introduction to "Perdido"; fortunately, things improve rapidly afterwards. In addition ...
| | Sandi Shoemake Sophisticated Lady CD (2005)
Virunga Roots, Vol. 1 album
$12.95
In too many fields of music the focus is upon young up-and-coming performers, but given the opportunity, seasoned jazz fans will likely prefer to listen to a veteran vocalist like Sandi Shoemake. Her rich voice and superb diction make one wish that she recorded more frequently. Backed by an excellent band with delightful arrangements by her husband, vibraphonist Charlie Shoemake (who also plays piano in spots), she primarily chose songs that were written for Broadway or Hollywood, few of which seem to be done with any regularity by her contemporaries. She masters the sly humor within "A Rainy Night in Rio," a perky bossa nova dating ...
