The music of California-born composer Harold Budd has little in common with the hypnotic Eastern-influenced pulsing of fellow minimalists like Philip Glass or Terry Riley. Instead, his sometimes atonal but often pastoral and lulling compositions for piano most recall the influence of Erik Satie. For their second collaboration, THE PEARL, Budd and co-writer/producer Brian Eno eschew the lengthy explorations of their previous album, THE PLATEAUX OF MIRRORS, in favor of 11 brief miniatures between two and five minutes each. Given evocative, imagistic titles like "Late October" and "Lost in the Humming Air," Budd's watery, occasionally jazz-inflected piano solos are subtly supported by non-obtrusive layers of synthesizers, tape effects and other instrumentation by Eno and co-producer Daniel Lanois. Less trance-inducing than Eno's full-fledged ambient works, THE PEARL is nonetheless a gentle and quiet record as accessible to fans of Satie and Bill Evans as it is to minimalist and ambient enthusiasts.
Personnel includes: Brian Eno (various instruments); Harold Budd (piano).

| | Monty Alexander Rocksteady CD (2004)
Pearl album
$10.85
Prior to becoming an ace mainstream jazz pianist in the U.S., native Jamaican Monty Alexander played on countless sessions at Studio One in Kingston -- well before reggae, rocksteady, and even ska crossed the seas. Since 1998, secure in his jazz credentials, he has been reminding listeners of those roots, cranking out album after album and managing to unite jazz and reggae in a sometimes irresistible fusion. This time, Alexander reaches further back to pre-reggae Jamaican pop from the late '60s/early '70s, bringing along a guitar-slinging friend from the old days, Ernest Ranglin. On previous Jamaican-accented albums, Alexander sometimes sounded as if he was making an effort to hold back his prodigious technique in order to keep things simple. But here he sounds more comfortable paring down his playing to the basics while still throwing in an occasional sly quote or monster lick, now going more and more to his evocative melodica playing. Ranglin brings a brittle, staccato touch to everything he touches, and the rhythm section careens gently along, with only rare hints of a ska feel and without the overpowering dub-flavored bass of previous Alexander Jamaican outings like "Meets Sly and Robbie" and parts of "Goin' Yard." Desmond Dekker's "Israelites," one of the first genuine Jamaican hits in the U.S., moves and grooves much like the original while allowing for some jazz licks. Less well-known in America, perhaps, are some other choices like Ken Boothe's "Freedom Street" and the Congos' "Row Fisherman." Moving up a bit on the time scale, Alexander and Ranglin include the Burning Spear signature tune "Marcus Garvey" and with heads bowed, they close the album with a dignified duo rendition of the Hon. Robert Nesta Marley's "Redemption Song." The six-channel surround mix on this hybrid SACD is simple and strikingly consistent, with Quentin Baxter's drums and Junior Jazz's ...
| | Jackson Sisters CD (1976) (Import) Japan
Pearl CD music
$26.29
The eponymous 1976 soul release from the Jackson Sisters includes "Miracles."
This incredibly rare record from the Jackson Sisters is highly sought-after for the mid-'70s soul classic "Miracles." One listen to that track will tell you why as it is funky soul at its finest, sounding like a Jacksons cut from the same era. The youngest of the Jackson Sisters takes most of the lead vocals on the song. She sounds uncannily like a young Michael Jackson. It truly lives ...

Pearl music CDs
$18.99
T.K. Blue composed the suite Follow the North Star to honor Solomon Northrup, a free black man during the slavery era in the United States who was kidnapped, taken South, and enslaved for a dozen years before finally being rescued. With terrific collaborators such as pianist James Weidman (Onaje Allan Gumbs spells him on one track), trombonist Steve Turre, bassist Essiet Okon Essiet, drummer Willie Martinez, and percussionist Kevin Jones, Blue (who alternates between alto and soprano saxes, plus flute and African thumb piano in the introduction) musically conveys many of the emotions Northrup likely experienced in his life, including love of his homeland, terror, sorrow, despair, and finally, joy. Blue effectively sets up several of the pieces with separate brief introductions played by just one or two instruments. The music never fails to be moving and T.K. Blue has clearly created an extended jazz work that will stand the test of time. ~ Ken Dryden
In 2007 TK Blue received a grant from the NYSCA and Transart Inc to write a suite based on the early african-american presence in the hudson valley area of upstate New York.Solomon Northup was a free man living in upstate NY during the time of slavery.He was a farmer and musician who played the violin.
