As of the late 1990s, guitarist and fiddler David Bromberg was in musical semi-retirement, supplementing his day job (making his living buying and selling American-made violins) with the odd club gig. But in the 1970s, he had a thriving career as both a bandleader ...

Charlie "Bird" Parker is one of the giants of 20th century music. Alto saxophonist Parker combined what he had learned from the blues, swing, classical, even country music with a harmonic and rhythmic adventurousness that became known as bebop, becoming one of the greatest soloists in jazz history. Many musicians that played with Parker went on to make jazz/music history themselves: Max Roach, Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, and Kenny Dorham, among others. THE ESSENTIAL gives a wonderful cross-section of the music Parker recorded for Verve Records from 1946 to 1953. ...

Japan's Dir en Grey may have the retained the same lineup since their inception in 1997, but that's it. Musically they don't even sound like the same band. In the early days they associated themselves with Japan's Visual Kei movement, and the music tended to be frantically emotional and experimental; other than calling it "rock," it was unclassifiable. Their first EP, Missa, was followed by a pair of independently issued singles that entered the Top Ten in Japan. By the time they issued their debut album, Gauze, in 1990, they were already headlining the Osaka Music Hall. While still evolving, the band moved its focus toward heavy metal, though metal elements were always in its sound. As their sound changed from album to album, so their popularity grew, and while they engaged the metal form as a base of expression, their experimentalism and unabashedly emotional pop sensibilities remained ingrained as well. They toured Europe and sold out shows everywhere they went based on nothing more than word of mouth. When they played the United States in March 2006 in support of Withering to Death -- their debut American release -- dates at South by Southwest were well attended (aren't everybody's?) but more importantly, the band sold out large venues in Los Angeles and New York as well. Sony issues Dir en Grey's Marrow of a Bone in Japan. Given the package and production, they've invested plenty in the band's growing popularity. (Upon first glance, the package is totally black -- booklet and all -- and with gray-on-black lettering in tiny type, it takes a magnifying glass and bright light to make out the lyrics and production details.)
But there is more risk attached as well. Dir en Grey's vocalist and lyricist, Kyo, may title many of his songs in English (all but two here), but he sees no need to sing in the Yankee tongue all the time and doesn't. The band's sound has embraced tendencies of American metal and nu metal (they participated in Korn's Family Values tour in America), and Dir en Grey bring so many other sonic and musical elements into the mix that they extend not only the reach of their own music, but the boundaries of any music they happen to incorporate into their sound. (This is not to mention their videos, which are more startling than anything by Björk and Matthew Barney -- check out the band's MySpace page.) And that sound is unmistakably their own, no matter what they do. Frontman Kyo, a vocalist as distinct as Bono or Gerard ...
| | Mars Bonfire Faster Than The Speed Of Life CD (1969) (Import) Remastered; United Kingdom
Cool Jazz Collection 2:Modern Classic CD music
$15.59
Mars Bonfire's late-'60s material occasionally bears some resemblance to Steppenwolf, particularly in the use of heavy organs. But in fact this is certainly on the lighter and more pop-flecked side than Steppenwolf, which might both disappointment Steppenwolf fans who seek this out on the basis of the "Born to Be Wild" connection, and make this LP a rather pleasant surprise to those fearing bombastic late-'60s hard rock on the order of Steppenwolf's less impressive aspects. There is a version of "Born to Be Wild" here that is far tamer and less effective than Steppenwolf's hit cover. Yet on about half the album Bonfire favors a pretty airy pop-psychedelic approach (reminiscent of his "Tomorrow's Ship" composition on the single for pre-Steppenwolf outfit the Sparrow, written under his real name of Dennis Edmonton) to both his songwriting and arrangements. Bonfire has a thin, crackly voice that lacks force and precluded any significant success as a solo singer and band frontman, but does have a sincere and likable quality in spite of its limitations. "Lady ...
