Tony's Blues Music Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)  Fru's Blues
When you listen to Tony Fruscella, you think of all the might-have-been players of the 1950s--guys like Fruscella, Doug Mettome, Nick Travis and others--you wonder what is was about the instrument, the business, or the psyche of horn players--that killed so much talent so early. The obvious comparison is to Chet Baker, but Fruscella was inventive in a different way than Baker, who also had serious chops early in his career. Francis Davis says these guys were casualties of racial divisions in jazz.
Maybe. Listen for yourself.

Purchase Tony's Blues CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Vince Guaraldi Charlie Brown Christmas CD (1977)
Tony's Blues album
 $14.19   
The fourth of four CD reissues taken from Art Pepper's three nights at the Village Vanguard in July 1977, as with the other releases, adds one selection ("Scrapple from the Apple") to the music of the original LP; all of the performances on this and the other sets have since been made available as part of a massive nine-CD box set. The great altoist was clearly excited to be playing at the famous New York club, and his rhythm section -- pianist George Cables, bassist George Mraz and drummer Elvin Jones -- consistently stimulates his imagination. This release has more variety than ...

Tony's Blues music CDs
$14.99 
A sequel of sorts to Chris Botti's 2006 PBS special, LIVE WITH ORCHESTRA & SPECIAL GUESTS, the September 2008 event LIVE IN BOSTON found the sartorially splendid cool jazz trumpeter accompanied by the Boston Symphony and a collection of celebrity vocalists. Also available as a DVD, the concert delivers an overview of popular music, with jazz standards like "I've Got You Under My Skin" right alongside "Ave Maria" and Sting's "If I Ever Lose My Faith in You." Whether featuring rocker Steven Tyler, AMERICAN IDOL chanteuse Katharine McPhee, or pop-opera superstar Josh Groban, all the tunes are presented in Botti's inimitable, Chet Baker-influenced uber-smooth style.
The trumpeter and special guests performed 2 star-studded concerts at the historic Boston Symphony Hall with Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops on September 18 & 19, 2008. This DVD/CD set includes a 13 song CD plus 2 hour concert DVD, plus a 40 minute behind the scenes bonus.

Tony's Blues songs
$14.15
Vijay Iyer has captured the ears of critics and listeners like only a handful of the most elite jazz pianists since McCoy Tyner, Cecil Taylor, or Misha Mengelberg initially burst onto the scene. There's no other single player who sounds even remotely like him, few who can match his inventive and whimsical sense of play or seriousness, and absolutely nobody ...
| | George Winston Autumn CD (1980) Windham Hill 20th Anniversary Edition
Tony's Blues album
$8.89
Principally recorded on June 19-20, 1980. Includes liner notes by George Winston.
AUTUMN was superstar new age pianist George Winston's first album to sell more than 1,000,000 copies. Listening to these spare, emotionally rich pieces, it's easy to understand why. But it's also clear what sets Winston apart from the hordes of other new age piano soloists: an insistent--occasionally even jarring--gothic sensibility that informs his music.
Like many of his albums, AUTUMN found its inspiration in the seasonal changes wrought upon the Montana landscape that Winston calls home. Though it might be easy to pigeonhole a composition like "Woods" as easy listening, a more careful examination ...

| | From First To Last Dear Diary, My Teen Angst Has A Body Count CD (2004)
Tony's Blues CD music
$11.85 
Since the early 2000s, what's now known as post-hardcore has been consistently codified into something eminently marketable. Screaming bloody murder over churning angular guitars has suddenly salable qualities, as long as the rage is offset by whimpering pianos and heart-flailing harmonies. This systemization isn't necessarily bad, as the groups it affects often make very arresting music. But that doesn't mean the formula itself isn't questionable. In 2004 From First to Last unleashes its first full-length via Epitaph, after debuting with an EP for the tiny New York imprint Four Leaf. And it has the right idea, using dense lyricism and inventively propulsive drumming to separate Dear Diary, My Teen Angst Has a Bodycount from the teeming post-hardcore pack. But like so many of its peers, FFTL tempers its fury with oddly soft-focus introspection. Derek Bloom's incredible drumming drives de facto opener "The One Armed Boxer vs. the Flying Guillotine" through its wildly shifting time signatures, and the clipped guitars flail appropriately. "Note to Self," too, incorporates metal pacing and a flurry of double bass kicks. But the dark energy in these introductory tracks dissipates in the carnival synthesizers and music box effects of "I Liked You Better...," which suggests blink-182's awkward dalliance with its serious side. This isn't a slight on From First to Last's emotional fragility -- after all, everybody hurts. But what happened ...

| | Sunit & Raxstar Fulfilling Ambition CD (2007) (Import)
Tony's Blues album
$14.29
SUNIT & RAXSTAR merged in 2004 creatively to give birth to a new sound amalgamated in 'Keep It Undercover' (inspired by Commons classic I Used to Love HER). Raxstar's lyrical content & Sunit's inimitable sound proves that young talent cannot be pigeon holed into a stereotypical category. The response to the song was overwhelming and led both artists to appreciate that they had something which people wanted and needed to hear.The duo are not afraid to try something new, but are always faithful to their respective arts. Their joint EP is in the works, tentatively titled 'Fulfilling Ambition', and one of the standout tracks, SH1, is sure to mesmerize you with its haunting female vocals, awe-inspiring strings and effortless double-time rap.Although unsigned, it seems that these two artists are biding their time until they are snapped up by the right record company. They have created their own company Dream Warriors and are carving out an independent route to success (for themselves as well as other unsigned acts) under the umbrella of this company. They are slowly gaining momentum and are receiving support from public ...
