The previously unreleased music on the eighth of nine CDs in the valuable Storyville series features pianist Art Tatum during the last year of his life. He passed away on November 5, 1956 but, on evidence of these performances, he was still playing pretty well near the end of his life. Tatum is heard on the third of his three broadcasts on Steve Allen's Tonight Show and on five radio programs. In three cases he is joined by guitarist Everett Barksdale and bassist Slam Stewart, two of the airchecks have Bill Pemberton in Stewart's place and there are also three unaccompanied solos. There are not any revelations to be heard and, compared to Tatum's many other recordings, this set is not essential. But pick it up anyway, for Art Tatum still plays quite brilliantly while always keeping the melody close by. ~ Scott Yanow Volume 8: Live 1955-1956 Music Art Tatum Volume 8: Live 1955-1956 Songs Volume 8: Live 1955-1956 Review

Trent Reznor's And All That Could Have Been album was a very average mixed bag of his biggest songs live. The video and DVD that accompanied the album was supposed to be the whole package, where you could see the things that the album simply couldn't. Well this is just like the album: a mixed bag with some yummy treats hidden throughout. The band dressed themselves up like mid-'80s Alien Sex Fiend, covered in makeup, dirt, and leather. To their credit, they are extremely animated on-stage, running around and interacting with each other and generally putting on a good live show. But the difference between being in the front row and watching it on video starts to creep in around the fifth song. The first few tracks are all high-energy, savage attacks on some older songs that really make it seem like the video is going to be something special. But when "Piggy" kicks in, the relaxed tempo and jazzy bass part bring down the energy level, and Reznor takes the slow-build approach to getting the audience back. The video stays interesting for a few songs after, but by "Gave Up" it becomes obvious that not being there live takes away the effectiveness of the increasingly bizarre lighting and background videos. And when the videos start up in the background, the band seems to move around a lot less. The tracks they perform after this (which are mostly from The Fragile) are mostly their brooding, headier tracks. The camera begins to linger on the video screen, where at least something is happening, even if it is mostly footage of people hanging upside down and other weird stuff. Reznor does his best to seem like the mad carnival barker on his stage, but there just isn't enough going on to keep it interesting. The lights go crazy, the band jumps around, the screen shows something ...
