| | John di Martino So In Love CD John di Martino Discography of CDs
New York-based pianist John Di Martino has found a strong audience in Japan after recording for the Japanese Venus label with his Romantic Jazz Trio, which is rounded out by various bassists and drummers available to record, rather than an actual working group. Veterans Ira Coleman and Grady Tate round out the trio for this 2004 session, which kicks off with a stimulating, sometimes humorous, post-bop workout of the standard "Softly, as in a Morning Sunrise." The ballad "Summertime" is an essential part of any mainstream musician's repertoire, and this trio manages to keep it fresh by playing it with lyricism in a reserved manner, while still infusing it with a bluesy air; Di Martino's lush playing, Coleman's inventive bassline, and Tate's superb brushwork are enjoyable. Italian opera composer Ruggero Leoncavallo's Vesti la Giubba is hardly a common jazz vehicle, though it is a compelling discovery given Di Martino's haunting setting with Coleman's melancholy arco bass. The pianist also explores modern pop, including a slightly jaunty take of the Beatles' "Michelle," as well as a relaxing interpretation of Latin composer Electo Chepin Rosell's "Murmullo," another hidden gem. ~ Ken Dryden

So In Love
$13.79 Much like 2001's SONGS I HEARD and 2004's ONLY YOU, 2009's YOUR SONGS finds vocalist/pianist Harry Connick, Jr. coming up with an urbane, passionate set of American popular standards and contemporary pop classics that he both performs and orchestrates. While his previous recordings leaned toward the classicist side--ONLY YOU featured songs of the '50s and '60s--YOUR SONGS features a more eclectic mix of standards and pop songs, with Connick's own lush orchestration lending an overall aesthetic of languid romanticism. To this end, Connick turns Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are" into a kind of Herb Alpert-inspired ...

| | N2DEEP Unreleased Game 1993: Lost Album CD (2002)
So In Love
$9.35 In 1993, when N2DEEP was riding high off of the success of their GOLD album, Back To The Hotel, they stuck a deal and was in the studio recording an album for Capitol Records. That album would never see the light of day until now.Rappers James Trujillo a.k.a. Jay Tee and Tim Lyon a.k.a. T.L. comprise N2DEEP, the Vallejo, California based rap group that debuted in 1992 with the LP, Back To The Hotel. Back To The Hotel would go on to sell an astonishing nine hundred thousand copies earning N2DEEP a GOLD album certification and a PLATINUM single certification and placing them among the ranks of the hip-hop elite.A sold out world tour followed shortly thereafter with other headliners MC Hammer, DJ Quik, and Tag Team. With fame, fortune and critical acclaim, N2DEEP remained successful and did not receive the all too often seen "backlash" against white and Latino rap artists and one-hit wonders (read: Vanilla Ice, Mellow Man Ace). Instead of becoming jokes in the music business and among hip-hop fans, N2DEEP stood for all that was right about hip-hop music and our culture and became respected for their talent, diversity and their determination to succeed.In 1994, N2DEEP returned with their sophomore release 24-7-365 which brought us a more polished and diverse N2DEEP and spawned the hit singles, Deep N2 The Game and California Hot Tubs. Selling over four hundred thousand copies, 24-7-365 proved that N2DEEP did not fall victim to the "sophomore album curse" and could still deliver hits.After a three-year hiatus from recording, N2DEEP returned to the studio in 1997 to create what is said to be one of their best pieces of work, their third album entitled GOLDEN STATE. Instead of a commercial radio feel, GOLDEN STATE gave us a rougher side of N2DEEP that you could tell from their hard line delivery and subject matter, the members had gone through a lot of changes over the years.1998 and 2000 respectively brought ...
