| | Tom Lehrer Elements (Video) CD Tom Lehrer Discography of CDs
"What good are laurels if you can't rest on them?" Verily opines master satirist, gold record performer, and universityprofessor Tom Lehrer, who by all rights could stay content with hismagnum opus "The Remains of Tom Lehrer" [Rhino Archives R2 79831]. Yet, what have we here? Nothing less than a Gilbert & Sullivan revue transplantedto the local karaoke bar and techno-rave light show. It'sMTV-meets-chemistry-class ... Our star of stage now makes it to the big screen, with anauthorized vision destined for cult ephemera collections,academic conference settings, and laughing gas parties alike! "The Elements" is a 100-second DVD animation designed to enliven ye olde periodic table with Lehrer's blistering 88-key self-accompaniment synchronized with a follow-the-bouncing-ball, visual paint-by-numbers libretto gone haywire. Wherein, the rapid-fire stanzas of Lehrer's 1959 studio performancehave survived yet further transuranic discoveries, international nomenclature wars, the U.C. Berkeley Element 118 scandal, andDr. Demento. Very chemical (read psychedelic), a bit Ivy League, and shamelessly interdisciplinary.--Retiarius Elements (Video) Music | List Price | $23.97 (You save $5.02) | | Category | Jazz Albums, Comedy CDs | | Label | Retiarius Laboratories | | Orig Year | 2004 | | CD Universe Part number | 7179700 | | Catalog number | 90604 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | May 18, 2004 | | Studio/Live | Studio | | Mono/Stereo | Stereo |

Orchestral and choral arrangements of rock songs have been a curious subgenre ever since the mid-'60s when Andrew Loog Oldham arranged The Rolling Stones Songbook for syrupy strings, but The Kinks Choral Collection stands apart from the pack for the simple reason that it's not the project of some associate or ...

Article by Jo Anne Disney - Independent WeeklyNovember 9 - 15, 2006Hector Contreras has always had a love for music. At the age of 5 he began playing the piano and composing songs. His parents would ask him what he was playing and he would say, "My song."Contreras is a native of Los Angeles, moving to Pasadena 5 years ago with his wife, Emilie. She is not only his biggest fan and supporter, but is in charge of their music production company, Emilies Garden.Contreras admits that practicality overshadowed his dream for a time. He felt he needed to concentrate on his education, making sure he had a steady job with benefits. So Contreras obtained his Bachelors degree in Accounting from Cal State, Los Angeles and a Master Degree in Education from San Francisco University. He became a teacher with the Compton Unified School District. He worked there for 20 years and left to work with the County Juvenile Court System for almost another 10 years.However, through the years his passion for music remained strong. He studied music composition at the University of Southern California and advanced studies with Dr. Albert Harris. And this year, Contreras' lifelong dream has become a reality! He has produced 2 CD's; one is AfroCuban/Jazz and the other is New Age Music. All of the songs are composed by Contreras. ...

"THIS IS REALLY A GREAT BOOK!!!! A powerful sight reading, ear training, swinging, improvising jazz tool. Perfect for the student of jazz. Wish I had it when I was growing up. Glad I have it now." --Michael Brecker "This is one of the most concise and easy to digest collection of solos over standard tune chord changes that I have seen. All the elements of good voice leading, passing notes and common scale usage are here. Very enjoyable!!" --Dave Liebman"I wish I had material like this when I was coming up. These etudes are little masterpieces. There is such a wealth of material to learn from here. Great line construction and great conceptual ideas. Having the rhythm section continue after the etude is a great idea! I will be using these with virtually all my students from now on. Greg Fishman ...
| | Karl Latham Resonance CD (2007)
Elements (Video) songs
$16.45
Jazz drummer Karl Latham is an inventive powerhouse whose influences are many but whose ideas are his own. On Resonance, his second album as a leader, Latham hooks up with guitarist John Hart, acoustic bassist Kermit Driscoll, and trumpeter Vinnie Cutro for a set of interpretations of rock, pop, and jazz classics from the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Wonder, Björk, and U2 that reinvent the source material while paying respects to it. Both Hendrix and Wonder turn up twice as composers, with the former's "Manic Depression" serving as the album's most far-reaching, avant exercise. Each of the bandmembers is a virtuoso, but it's Hart who drives this particular jam, taking it to free-form places that Hendrix himself would no doubt have admired. Wonder's "Pastime Paradise" is a chill samba-esque reading that allows Latham an opportunity to make use of subtleties on his kit and his mates to swing softly. The Björk tune, "Pagan Poetry," is handled with a light, moody touch that practically places the leader into the background and conveys the song's atmospheres smartly, but U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," while also a smooth acoustic ballad that amply displays the band's chops, never quite delivers fully. Of the remainder of the tracks, Thelonious Monk's "Bemsha Swing" is thrown into modern dance club territory with angular twists and a tight, ever-shifting rhythmic emphasis, and Hart's original "Tadpole" is a bit of '70s-era Miles Davis funk that pushes each player to the edge. ~ Jeff Tamarkin
Drummer Karl Latham is a classic Gemini who has performed around the globe in almost every musical genre imaginable; with jazz masters Claudio Roditi, John Lee, Slide Hampton, Jon Faddis and Clark Terry, modern jazz masters Mark Egan, Michal Urbaniak and Don Braden, rockers Johnny Winter and Edgar Winter, as well as, European jazz artists Wolfgang Lackerschmid, Hendrik Meurkens and Johannes ...
