Tony Monaco, an excellent organist who is happy to acknowledge the influence of Jimmy Smith (who he pays tribute to on his "I'll Remember Jimmy"), also has a personal sound and a swinging style of his own. Teamed with the fine bop guitarist Bruce Forman, drummer Adam Nussbaum, and occasionally saxophonist Byron Rooker, Monaco romps through a variety of jazz standards and a few basic originals. Although it seems odd that he performs both "Indiana" and "Donna Lee" (the latter is based on the former), both versions are enjoyable. Fans of swinging and soulful jazz organists will find much to enjoy in Tony Monaco's music. ~ Scott YanowJazzTimes (p.121) - "Monaco knows all the organ tricks....He pounds away with a clarity that shows off his precision instead of sounding like mere grandstanding."

Originally from Germany, guitarist/ vocalist /composer/ orchestrator LENI STERN is a formidable woman: uncompromising artist, businesswoman, cancer survivor and social advocate.She is also one of the foremost female musicians performing today.In her 15-year recording career, Leni has been recognized five consecutive times as the Gibson Female Guitarist of the Year and her new album, Kindness of Strangers - released on her own label - may be the work that catapults her to well-deserved recognition as one of the most complete, affecting musicians performing today. "(the) balance of music and lyrics heard on Kindness of Strangers impressively illustrates how she continues to hone and deepen an already-impressive body of work" - (National Public Radio "All Things Considered")"Stern has developed into one of the most interesting fuses of pop songwriting and jazz instincts since Joni Mitchell." - (Boston Phoenix)"Although some unfortunate audiences still don't know it, Leni Stern has distinguished herself as one of the preeminent composers on the modern scene matched only by ...

East To West
$12.79
English version includes the bonus track "Let's Do It" (explicit).
Method Man's third solo work, following 1998's uneven Tical 2000 (and released a month after Ghostface's superior-in-every-aspect Pretty Toney Album), arrived with many conflicting rumors and circumstances attached to it. On the M2 program Spoke 'n' Heard, Meth informed journalist/host Touré that Tical 0 is his best record, and alluded to being boxed in when working with one producer and one sound. Around the same time, the official Wu-Tang website reported that the MC was not pleased with the version Def Jam opted to put out, due to its scant number of RZA productions -- one single cut, when an entire record's worth was allegedly put together throughout the past couple years. Whatever the circumstances might be, there's no doubt that Tical 0 is even less penetrating than Tical 2000, a record that at least had its ambitions to retain interest during the lulls. At its best, this one offers brief bursts of okay-to-decent tracks. The most energizing moments typically come when Meth's supported by the likes of Busta Rhymes ("What's Happenin'") and Ludacris ("Rodeo"), but the productive conveyor belt of guest spots -- which chucks out well over a dozen of them, including Missy Elliott, Raekwon, Kardinal Offishall, Chinky (not Chingy), and soon-to-be fellow sitcom star Redman -- also weighs down the whole process. Likewise, the list of producers comes pretty close to being lengthier than the list of guest MCs; this makes the record seem unfocused and disjointed, not diverse and well rounded. Meth seems more clear-headed than ever, possibly a result from his cleaned-up, family-oriented lifestyle. (The lyrical matter, however, does nothing to reflect this change.) His throaty rasp isn't nearly as doped out as it was a decade prior, but his personality remains an attraction. As an MC, he's had nothing to prove for quite some time. Give or take a couple hot tracks, this release is not likely to play a significant role in his legacy. ~ Andy Kellman

Celebrating, as the title hints at, ten years of work together, 808:88:98 makes the brilliant case for 808 State's place as a modern techno pioneer. Time has shown that while a rougher breakbeat approach ended up defining much of dance in the broad public eye during the '90s, 808 State's own slightly cleaner approach was no less energetic and instantly compelling. Starting with the hyperactive shimmer ...
