| | Introducing: The Sampler CD - Import
A great way to discover the artists and the music from the "Introducing" series.
Introducing: The Sampler is a seemingly random assortment of cuts that represent Warner Jazz/Rhino's middling-to-decent Introducing series. It's the kind of disc that would normally be pressed up and shipped out to retailers for in-store play rather than sale. Its appeal beyond that is very, very limited, since it bounces between decades and styles -- from the three-minute edit of Charles Mingus' "Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting" to David Sanborn's overstuffed recording of Marcus Miller's "Slam," made over 30 years later -- in a way that doesn't benefit anyone who is discovering jazz. The volumes representing John Coltrane, Herbie Mann, Joe Sample, Ornette Coleman, and several others are also represented. ~ Andy Kellman Introducing: The Sampler Music Introducing: The Sampler Songs | 1. | Foolkiller - Mose Allison |

Many people think of smooth jazz as something that didn't start until the 1980s, but arguably, smooth jazz started around 1966-1968 with the overtly commercial, pop-drenched albums that guitarist Wes Montgomery recorded during the last few years of his life. Love it or hate it, Montgomery's more commercial output had a major impact on Peter White and many other guitarists who have contributed to smooth jazz (including George ...

Introducing: The Sampler music CDs
$14.49
The ebullient beat of the street can be heard on the Treme Brass Band's CD Gimme My Money Back. One of the nouveau brass bands to come up in the city of New Orleans under the encouragement of the late, great Danny Barker, the Treme Brass Band embodies the un-self-conscious joy of their neighborhood. The Treme is an area known for its vibrant people, full of fun and music. The Treme Brass Band's first CD exemplifies that spirit in their renderings of both original and traditional compositions. Led by maestro Lionel Batiste on drums and vocals, the band features such luminaries as Kermit Ruffins and James Andrews on trumpets, along with lesser-known but very talented musicians. Together, they put together a sound that can only come from the Big Easy. The music centers on that syncopated beat for which the city's music is known. In brass band fashion, that beat is created not only by the drum, but the tubas as well, here played by Jeffrey Hills and Kirk Joseph. Alto, soprano, and tenor saxophones; trumpets; and trombones trade out licks to create the unique dissonance of the brass band idiom. The title cut of the CD is a perfect expression of the streetwise sensibility of the band, as Andrews -- known as the Satchmo of the ghetto ...

Until it was issued on CD by Ace in 1999, the existence of Eramus Hall's Your Love Is My Desire was debated. Recorded in late 1978 by the soul/funk group -- the artwork and the artist name lead one to believe this a solo work, but Eramus Hall took its name from a historical ...

| | Lullabye Arkestra Ampgrave CD (2006)
Introducing: The Sampler CD music
$12.89
Lullabye Arkestra are a bass-and-drum vocal duo that is, in practicality, anything but. Drummer Justin Small (from Do Make Say Think), and bassist Katia Taylor are Canadian soulsters who understand what deep distortion-drenched soul music is all about. This is deep white Canadian soul that packs a wallop -- especially when considered in light of the pair adding a three-piece horn section, a Hammond B-3, and a violin that is sometimes overdubbed to sound like a string section. Taylor can sing like a midnight gutter canary who has heard the intensities of both Carla Thomas and Otis Redding, but doesn't have the vocal chops necessary to pull that off, so she relies on pure guts, piss, and vinegar. With Small's less overwrought singing style (though he gets to needle-in-the-red gospel shout levels as well -- and makes Jack White doing the same thing sound like he's wearing a sterile lab coat), the duo pulls it off just fine, though the Lullabye Arkestra sound like a bar band in a horror film more than a Goldwax soul singles act. But the soul thang isn't the only trick in ...
