Dar Williams's sixth studio album finds the acclaimed Massachusetts-based singer/songwriter applying her thoughtful brand of folk/pop to a handful of covers, along with her potent original tunes. Here Neil Young's "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere" gets a chiming, uplifting treatment (with help from Marshall Crenshaw), and Ani DiFranco joins Williams for an atmospheric version of Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb." Aided by Patty Larkin, Williams closes MY BETTER SELF with one of her finest songs, "The Hudson," a gentle, resonant tune that perfectly caps the record.
Personnel: Dar Williams (vocals, guitar); Ani DiFranco (vocals, guitar); Patty Larkin (vocals); Stewart Lerman (guitar, keyboards); Ben Butler (guitar); Julie Wolf (organ, glockenspiel); Michael Visceglia (bass guitar); Steve Holley (drums); Eric Bazilian, Marshall Crenshaw (background vocals).

This compilation is taken from the masterful and wondrous box set issued late in the year 2000. It is assembled with the kind of care only producers such as Bob Belden and Michael Cuscuna could muster. Featuring nine selections, it begins with the first recorded appearance of the new Miles Davis Quintet in 1955 that featured the two principals, Red Garland, Paul Chambers, and Philly Joe Jones. Aside from an alternate take of "Straight, No Chaser" and the inclusion of "Dear Old Stockholm" ...
| | John Phillips Phillips 66 CD (2001)
My Better Self music CDs
$8.99
PHILLIPS 66 contains new songs and newly recorded versions of "California Dreamin'" and "Me And My Uncle".
Amazingly, pop auteur John Phillips only made three solo albums after the breakup of the Mamas & the Papas. The first was the masterpiece WOLK KING OF L.A., which mixed country-rock with California folk-pop. The second an ill advised knock-off years later backed by the Rolling Stones. PHILLIPS 66 gets it's title from the age Phillips would have been around the time of its release; sadly he never made it. Both a statement of continued artistic validity and a wistful look back, the ...

Peter Sprague BioBorn in Cleveland, Ohio on October 11, 1955, Peter Sprague was raised in Colorado until 1963, when his family moved to Del Mar, California. Inspired by his father's love of jazz, he took up the guitar when he was twelve. By the age of fifteen he was devoting all his time and energy to learning music. He studied with San Diego jazz guitarist Bill Coleman, played in his high school stage band, and formed his first group, the Minor Jazz Quartet.Following a year's study at the Interlochen Arts Academy, Sprague studied privately and performed around the San Diego area until 1976. That year found him moving to Boston to study with many notable musicians including Pat Metheny, Madam Challof and Albin Czak ( a classical guitarist). Peter returned to San Diego in 1978 and formed a jazz group called The Dance Of The Universe Orchestra that featured Kevyn Lettau, John Leftwich, and Peter's brother, Tripp Sprague on saxophone.Peter has recorded many of his own albums on the Concord, Xanadu, and SBE record labels and has been a guest artist on many other records. Chick Corea, Hubert Laws, David Benoit, and Sergio Mendes are only but a few of the many great artists Peter has worked with. His debut with the Chick Corea band was a series of concerts at Disneyland on Memorial Day weekend. In a review the following day in the Los Angeles Times, Leonard Feather called Peter "...One of the emergent great guitarists." Peter also worked with Chick on the film score to the movie "The Cat Chasers", starring Kelly McGillis. Peter is active in the music book world having self-published nine of his own books, (The Sprague Technique, SpragueSongs, Soliloquy Songbook, Blurring the Edges Songbook, BrazilJazz Songbook, Soliloquy Songbook, Jazz Solos of Charlie Parker, Jazz Solos of Sonny Rollins, Jazz Solos of McCoy Tyner, and Assorted Jazz Solos).

| | Marcus Shelby Harriet Tubman CDs (2008)
My Better Self CD music
$16.49
Bassist Marcus Shelby has carved out a substantial career as a leader after the dissolution of the group Black/Note. For his sixth CD, Shelby presents his magnum opus, a two act musical opera based on the life of famed African-American slave turned suffragette, abolitionist, and freedom fighter Harriet Tubman, who was also a well-known music lover. Tubman's celebrated emancipation sojourn from Maryland to Delaware is documented by Shelby's 15-piece jazz orchestra complemented by a four-voice choir and a load of soloists from Shelby's native California. New York City drummer Kenny Washington is included in the vocal group as soloist and team player. The story of Tubman's procession is well known. From oppression to liberation, Tubman led a group on a trek up the Eastern Seaboard with stopovers in emancipation houses along the way. Shelby has detailed and supplemented this trip with a great musical backdrop and expanded story line. Only the Pulitzer Prize-winning epic of Wynton Marsalis Blood on the Fields is a tone parallel. Perhaps Duke Ellington's The Drum Is a Woman comes close in terms of sheer dramatic effect. A "'Round Midnight" type prelude ballad starts the story, followed by a free up and down 6/8 bop "Ashanti Stomp," a classic blues ballad "I Will Not Stand Still," and a paean to Tubman's mother Rit from husband Ben. The four-voice modal chant and the spiritual prayer "Over Here Lord" provide inspiration before the late-night escape -- an interactive choral "North to Delaware" in stealth waltz time, setting the wheels in motion. The second act/CD depicts the journey with the very hip instrumentals "Stampede of Slaves" and "Freedom Trail" both with ...
