The first solo album by producer and multi-instrumentalist Camiel is right on the edge of being terminally precious. The largely instrumental tunes were created with the basic building blocks of the most soulless smooth jazz records of the '70s and '80s: twinkling electric piano, electric guitars sent through chorus and/or wah-wah pedals, acoustic guitars fingerpicked Spanish-style, Barry White-style orchestral sweeps, polite Latin percussion that's there mostly for color instead of rhythm. There are even three songs (one of them in Spanish) that feature a Ken Nordine-like voice-over narrating a story about an anonymous bar pickup. In different hands, Sunset probably would have been terrible. What saves the album is Camiel's knack for arrangement, which sets the verging-on-naff elements of the record against subtle electronics and hypnotic rhythm patterns that make the album sound witty and tongue-in-cheek instead of kitschy. More melodic than the average club/dance record and a little too upbeat to serve as downtempo mood music, Sunset doesn't fit neatly into any trends, but it's an oddly charming record. ~ Stewart Mason Camiel Sunset Songs | 1. | Sunset |

| | Dave Grusin 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection CD (2006) Remastered
Sunset
$6.79
This best-of from one of the most ubiquitous pianists of the 1970 and '80s is full of theme you've heard elsewhere--the popular 1980s TV drama series ST. ELSEWHERE, to be precise, as well as the theme from the Oscar-winning ON GOLDEN POND--in addition to the airy melodies usually heard while on hold on the phone, or waiting at the dentist's.
According to Martin Huxley's liner notes, Dave Grusin has released more than 25 albums; only six of those albums are drawn upon for this discount-priced compilation. (Universal Music's 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection best-of CDs are intended to have a retail price of about ten dollars.) Thus, this is, as Huxley puts it, "a sampling of Grusin's prodigious output," and it's one that bears a similarity to earlier, somewhat longer roundups. Five of the ten selections, "Theme from St. Elsewhere," "Serengeti Walk," "Early AM Attitude," "Bossa ...

My Music History 101~I've been making music or other sorts of noises, (I also enjoy howling with our Greyhound) since age 3, when my parents purchased a cheap Magnus Cord Organ. I must have shown promise, because my my mom eventually purchased a wonderfully large upright grand piano she located at a local Salvation Army thrift store. I've been hooked on piano ever since.At age five, I started piano lessons, violin lessons at age 7, and taught myself how to play the guitar at age 9. I composed my first song at age 11. I studied voice with Jack Coleman off and on from about age 10 through 18. (I'm attempting to learn penny whistle and recorder.)Growing up I dearly wanted to make music my profession. Sadly for me, music was looked down upon and considered unsuitable as an avocation. So, while I never stopped playing, I more or less gave up on the idea of a musical career, and concentrated on other things. I was born with severe food and chemical sensitivities, and have been ill, almost since birth. However, rather than get the treatment I needed, I was labeled a "difficult child" and a hysteric. I endured decades of illness, during which time I was told my symptoms were all in my head. It took over 40 years, and a few brushes with death for me to get properly diagnosed.My life has been hard. By age 45 (2000), I was sick, frail and on permanent disability. Late 2001 I underwent surgery, and became so ill afterward I nearly died. That same year I was diagnosed with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS). Interestingly, the same year it was determined my physical symptoms were NOT "all in my head", and the label of mentally ill, removed. By 2003 I was so horribly ill I'd lost all desire to live. That winter, after three hospitalizations, I went home determined to never again see the inside of a hospital room ... irregardless of how ill I became. I told my friends and family I wanted to die at home. My health gradually eroded, until one fateful afternoon I was sure I was dying. As luck would have it, dear friend Cameron Switzer happened to call while I was on my way out (translation: dying). He took it upon himself to drive 30 miles to my home, pick me physically up off the floor (I'm a really big girl), and carry me to his car. He packed some of my things, drove me to his home, and resuscitated me when I went into respiratory arrest early the next morning. ...
