Summer Knows Music Review

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Golden jazz from a golden summer
Considering Art Farmer has been playing since the Be-bop revolution, his style has remained consistently cool. This album reflects the very best of his ideas on different genres of music. The smoky, clouded tone, combined with his own inimitable phrasing, particularly on Alfie and the title track, plus his own composition Ditty, serve as a timely reminder that his name should be spoken with the same reverence as Davis and Gillespie. Brilliant.

Wynton Marsalis Live At The House Of Tribes CD (2005)

Summer Knows

$13.65

Live at the House of Tribes documents trumpeter Wynton Marsalis performing with his sextet at the intimate community theater space in New York City on December 15, 2002. Apparently an annual ritual of sorts for Marsalis, the performance makes for one of his best live recordings since 1986's stellar Live at Blues Alley. Backed by a slightly altered lineup from his 2005 Blue Note studio debut, The Magic Hour, Marsalis gains first-class support from alto saxophonist Wessel Anderson, pianist Eric Lewis, drummer Joe Farnsworth, bassist Kengo Nakamura, and percussionist Orlando Q. Rodriguez. Special mention must be made of Robert Rucker for his highly energetic tambourine performance on the New Orleans "2nd Line" finale. New Orleans jazz aficionados may recognize this tune as "Joe Avery's Blues" and based on the cheering, clapping, and general rowdiness of ...

Wyclef Jean Greatest Hits CD (2003) (Import) Germany; Limited Edition

$10.05

International edition of 2003 compilation features 24 tracks including 1 bonus track on disc one, 'No Woman, No Cry' (Fugees), along with a limited edition bonus disc, with the first pressing, featuring 7 tracks, 'Gone Till November' feat. Canibus (Remix), 'Guantanamera' (Remix), 'Perfect Gentleman' feat. Xzibit & King Yellowman (Remix), 'We Trying To Stay Alive' (Remix), 'It Doesn't Matter' (Remix), 'No Woman, No Cry' Fugees (Remix) & 'It Doesn't Matter' feat. Jacky & Ben (Ca Ne Me Fait Rien). Columbia. Personnel inlcudes: Wycleff Jean, R. Kelly, Pras, Mary J. Blige, Youssou N'Dour.
Much to his credit, Wyclef Jean is more of a producer in the vein of classic R&B and soul producers than he is in alignment with many of his contemporaries. Where most hip-hop and R&B producers are just focused on making a beat or making the hook as catchy as possible, Wyclef has a vision beyond that with his production style as well as his endeavors as a solo artist. This attention to detail and broad scope of music styles has been evident since his early years as a key member (if not the key member) of the Fugees. In a genre where formulas and playing it safe are the norm, Wyclef is a mad scientist taking constant risks and fusing elements of almost every genre imaginable into an amazing signature sound. And although not every experiment can be deemed a success (his cover versions of Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" and a duet with Kenny Rogers revisiting "The Gambler" immediately come to mind), Wyclef's production skills on his worst day are still better than many producers' finest hour. Greatest Hits covers three solo albums over a period of six years. While the argument can be made that such a short span of time might warrant a greatest-hits compilation a bit premature, Wyclef has enough quality tracks to justify one -- especially if you are just looking to own his most well-known hits. From his commercial successes on the pop chart ("We Trying to Stay Alive" with fellow ex-Fugee Pras and the classic "Gone Till November") to some of his lesser known hits that only made an impact on the R&B charts, every single one of his finest solo moments is contained here. Die-hard fans will already own many, if not all, of these tracks, but those just getting warmed ...
