Ray Davies Kinks Choral Collection CD (2009)

NL908

$14.38

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 admirer, but rather chief Kink Ray Davies. His very presence as arranger and lead vocal means The Kinks Choral Collection isn't nearly as stuffy and middlebrow as so many of these orchestral rock albums; he manages to inject some semblance of rock & roll by pushing the songs forward with guitar, and letting the rhythms swing instead of plod. This looseness is the first big surprise of the album. The second is its unrepentant but quite possibly accidental silliness, ...

Franz Jackson Night At Red Arrow CD (2005)

NL908

$25.35
Franz Jackson blew up a storm until age 95. One of the last survivors of the pre-Swing era, and one of only a handful of his contemporaries still playing into the 20th century, the tenor saxophonist/clarinetist/vocalist was, quite literally, a living jazz treasure. He left us on May 6, 2008 to join the other greats who went on before him.Jackson was one of the last musicians to have learned Chicago jazz from its originators. His first professional gig in his 70-plus year career was with stride pianist Albert Ammons in 1929; he was 16. His career continued through the 30’s and 40’s with such jazz luminaries as Albert Ammons, Carroll Dickerson, Jimmy Noone, Walter Barnes, Roy Eldridge, Fletcher Henderson, Benny Carter, Earl Hines, Fats Waller, Cab Calloway and James P. Johnson. He replaced icon Ben Webster in Henderson’s and Eldridge’s bands and also won attention for big band compositions and arrangements for Benny Goodman, Cab Calloway and JackTeagarden for CBS.Between tenures in Chicago, Jackson lived in New York and Sweden, performing, composing, arranging and directing bands. Beginning in the late 40’s, Jackson embarked on tours entertaining U.S. troops abroad with his USO band. In 1957, he formed his own successful band, the Original Jass All-Stars, which had a 10-year stint at the Red Arrow nightclub in Stickney, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. Jackson had become one of Chicago’s most popular bandleaders and recorded seven albums during this period on his own record label, Pinnacle Recordings. As his popularity grew, Jackson began touring the world with his band.A hearty soloist in the Chicago tradition as well as a charismatic singer, Jackson’s emphasis was always less on decorative or frivolous playing and more on the depth and sincere feeling of the music. He continued to appear regularly at venues and festivals in Chicago and other Midwest cities well into his 90’s. Jackson held a black belt in Tae Kwan Do, which he achieved at the age of 76, and studied Oriental philosophy. In an interview done with him in his 80’s, he noted that his music was what sustained him these days: “That’s how I’m existing. I’m not giving in to rock and roll and I’m keeping my standards. People like what I’m doing and nothing’s really old if it’s done well. I’m not satisfied with today’s ...

Laurie Bordonaro Jazz Songbook CD (2004)

NL908

$12.65
Quality-something not always valued in contemporary culture-- is synonymous with the Great American Songbook. The standards, along with a small but impressive group of jazz songs written during the 20 years from 1945 to 1965, were crafted in a manner that exudes perfection, and in our time that results in both pleasure and knowledge. For the listener to be impressed with that musical excellence, the melodies and lyrics need to be performed by an artist whose skills are at a commensurately high level.Laurie Bordonaro is that vocalist. In a career that has covered jazz studies at the Berklee School of Music, the Los Angeles pop-rock scene in the 1980's, and the delights and challenges of many private parties, she has now reached maturity as a jazz singer that belies comfort with the repertoire. ...
