Knowledge of Spanish isn't a prerequisite for enjoying Sara Valenzuela's solo debut, any more than it was necessary to know whatever fairyland language Elizabeth Fraser sang in the Cocteau Twins. That comparison isn't made lightly, because while Lado Este (East Side) isn't nearly as amorphous as the Scottish trio's reverb-heavy neo-psychedelia, there's a similarly hazy, floating aspect to these languid arrangements. (Other convenient touchstones include Suzanne Vega's later albums, Aimee Mann's grown-up pop, and the Sundays' soft-focus folk-rock.) A popular radio personality in her native Mexico, as well as the former lead singer of popular ska-tinged rock en español act La Dosis, Valenzuela has gone in a more mature direction on this album, blending layers of acoustic and electric guitars with some glitchy electronic textures (especially on the clattering "Tócame," a languid neo-psychedelic ballad decorated by a rhythm box with the energy of a hyperactive puppy) and overlaying the results with her rich, sultry vocals. Although the production is occasionally just a little too subtle and classy for its own good, slightly blunting the impact of a dreamily sexy tune like "Para Qué?," Lado Este is an appealing, solid debut. ~ Stewart Mason Lado Este Music | List Price | $12.97 (You save $2.62) | | Category | International Albums, Latin CDs, Regional Mexican, Mexican, Latin Pop | | Label | Nacional | | Orig Year | 2005 | | All Time Sales Rank |  125008  | | CD Universe Part number | 6878515 | | Catalog number | 63841 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Jul 26, 2005 | | Studio/Live | Studio | | Mono/Stereo | Stereo | | Producer | Dougie Bowne; Francois Lardeau; Dougie Bowne; Francois Lardeau; Sussie 4 | | Personnel | Jane Scarpantoni - cello

Full title: Collectables Presents The History Of Rock Vol. 8.
Liner Note Author: Al Fichera.
Collectables' ten-volume History of Rock series doesn't have the decades-spanning scope that the title implies; instead, it pretty much stops at the mid-'60s and covers rock's early years, with a few inclusions from the latter half of the '60s. While each disc contains 14 songs that are smartly chosen, it's the type of series that only truly appeals to ...

DIVERSITY best describes the artistry of guitarist, bassist, and producer Jack Jezzro. His recordings and productions have sold well into the millions, and he surely ranks high in formal education, knowledge of his instrument, and sheer musicality. But even more than that, Jezzro has a style and taste that are all his own—qualities that are a breath of fresh air to the music of today and qualities that breathe new life into the music of yesterday. ::: The Early Years Jazz is a natural expression for this West Virginia native, who seems to have been born musical. Jack Jezzro grew up in the small town of Rivesville, starting on piano and accordion when he was very young. "I would go to the piano and start banging out tunes when I was four or five," he recalls. His remarkable skill at simultaneously fingering melody and chord changes came naturally to him as a young listener. "I had a stack of Chet Atkins records, and that’s how I learned to play," Jezzro reports. "As a kid, I’d want to play all the parts. I’d listen to a tune by James Taylor, The Doobie Brothers, Simon & Garfunkel, or whomever. I’d play the bass part, the piano, the vocal—and I’d want to do it all right there on the guitar." ::: Education For his bass-playing skills, Jezzro earned a scholarship to West Virginia University in nearby Morgantown. "I still kept playing guitar, but they didn't have a guitar program," he says. "I wanted to go to school there because it was close by, so I picked the bass and really got into it." The year was 1976. "That fall, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra came to Morgantown, and I got to meet the principal bass player, Sam Hollingsworth. We immediately hit it off." Hollingsworth took Jezzro under his wings, preparing him for a professional career. By 1978, Jack knew that if he wanted to become a professional, it was time to move on. So he took the year off from school and began playing in the Charleston Symphony Orchestra (CSO). After a year with CSO, Jezzro won a scholarship and sailed into the sophistication of the prestigious Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York. While a student at Eastman, he won an audition for and subsequently played in the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra for two years. Meanwhile, he continued developing as a guitarist by absorbing the sounds of George Benson, Joe Pass, and Jim Hall. After graduation, "it was either New York, ...
