| | Dianne Gire Simple Life CD Dianne Gire Discography of CDs
"The Simple Life" is singer/pianist Dianne Gire's debut release. This CD is a great blend of old jazz standards, dynamic performances, and outstanding vocals. Sometimes swinging, sometimes sultry, but always tasty, Dianne leads a dynamic combo ranging from 3 to 6 pieces through original renditions of some of her favorite standards. Dianne is a veteran performer but has only now had the opportunity to share her music through a commercial CD release. Her ability to assemble a fantastic group of musicians and capture their talents live makes her songs feel fresh and real. "It's almost as if the band is sitting right in front of you!" Fans of Diana Krall and Norah Jones should find Dianne Gire a new and exciting voice in the world of the female pianist/singer.

Simple Life
 $6.75   
A surprise best-seller when it was first released, this mostly improvised pairing of singer/keyboardist/producer Al Kooper with two major guitar heroes of the day sounds fascinating all these years later precisely because of the distance of time--nobody makes records like this any more. The material runs the gamut from folk pop (covers of Donovan and Dylan), to blues ("Albert's Shuffle," "You Don't Love Me"), to heady jams ("His Holy Modal Majesty"), to big-band jazz ("Harvey's Tune").
All the tunes make effective templates for the kind off-the-cuff music-making that in less capable hands might have resulted in simple noodling. In fact, although Bloomfield and Stills don't play together on any of the cuts (Bloomfield played on one side of the original LP, Stills on the other), all three principals get off lots of good licks and producer Kooper has some interesting tricks up his sleeve, as in the over-the-top phasing he lavishes on "You Don't Love Me." The only real disappointment here is that Stills, a far better singer than Kooper, never opens his ...

| | Stanley Turrentine On A Misty Night CD (2002)
Simple Life
$9.59
Two former LPs are completely reissued on this single CD. The first set, Have You Ever Seen the Rain, was recorded in 1975 shortly after tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine left the CTI label, and it is a rather commercial effort despite a couple appearances by trumpeter Freddie Hubbard. Mr. T. plays well, as always, but the arrangements by Gene Page for an expanded rhythm section, strings, and voices are quite forgettable and Turrentine is unable to uplift the music much. The second album, 1980's Use the Stairs, has Turrentine with a big band arranged by Wade Marcus, and is more jazz-oriented, with the highlights including "The Lamp Is Low," "On a Misty Night," and "Jordu." But one should acquire Stanley Turrentine's earlier Blue Note and CTI recordings first, for those let him cut loose much more than most of his Fantasy albums. ~ Scott Yanow

Simple Life
$9.59
Reverse Priorities BioVancouver's own Reverse Priorities believes in doing things right. Emerging from the underground hip-hop community high off the smoke of their first two independent releases, R.P. is set to build on that success with a new collection of compelling songs. Add to the mix R.P.'s undeniable stage presence and diverse cultural appeal and you see a group that is set to blossom into full color and rise out of its underground roots.The 5 members of Reverse Priorities have all been friends for close to 10 years. Fayaz Bardai (28), Lee Edmondson (25) and Greg Labine (26) are rappers/lyricists, J.T. Edmondson (27) is a rapper/lyricist and producer and Marvin Merisca (28) is the resident DJ. On stage the 5 crew members go by the names Dlux, Illucid, Spokes, J.T. and M.V. respectively. M.V. is also a member of "The Dream Team", a well-known local DJ team and spins vinyl at clubs throughout Vancouver and his hometown of Montreal.For the past two years, R.P. has been receiving positive feedback and favorable reviews alike. Their first single "Straight High" has had consistent airplay on Vancouver radio giant 99.3 The Fox during their independent hours and is a favorite of local radio host Trace Ventura. "Straight High" has also been heard in several prime time slots on The Fox and is receiving "much love" from listeners as well.Reverse Priorities have been tearing the roofs off venues for quite some time now. As one of the few independent hip-hop groups that can pack the house and keep the honeys "shakin their booties" every night, R.P. has also shared the stage with a wide range of acts. Shocore, Organik, Sweatshop Union, Rhymes With Orange, Ten Ways From Sunday and Crop Circle are just a few of the killer groups that have performed alongside of Reverse Priorities. In 2001, Reverse Priorities were semi-finalists in 99.3 The Fox's BandFEST ...
