| | Gary Windo Anglo American CD (2004)
Ritual Fires Of Abandonment
$14.59 Never a big name and seldom a group leader, tenor sax man and bass clarinetist Gary Windo nonetheless played with everyone from NRBQ, the Psychedelic Furs, and Suzi Quatro to the Carla Bley Band and Chris McGregor & the Brotherhood of Breath. Windo left a huge legacy of goodwill and musical memories when he died unexpectedly in 1992, but not much in the way of recorded music -- or so it appeared. Cuneiform put together His Master's Bones in 1997, which was a retrospective of Windo's (largely unreleased) work, purportedly from a box of tapes that Windo had resurrected back in 1983. But confronted with yet another Windo retrospective on Cuneiform, the listener might naturally wonder if the pickings are getting a little slim -- especially when, judging from the dates of the performances, this new material could well have been gleaned from the same box of tapes. (In fact, the liner notes indicate that five of the pieces on this CD were tentatively targeted for the earlier retrospective, but didn't make the cut -- perhaps in some cases because they were alternative versions of the same song.) However, suspicions are soon allayed when the CD is inserted into the player. This turns out to be another fine collection of rarities and demos, perhaps a little more ragged that its predecessor ("Take Off," which Windo recorded with a Brotherhood of Breath sub-group, just stops, unceremoniously, after five-minutes-and-26-seconds). But "Anglo American" is still a treat from start to finish. In large part, this is due to Windo, who seems to go flat out, all the time -- but almost always with a sense of humor. Windo's humor is a key to his uniqueness, for while most free jazz blowers are intense (almost by definition), few have Windo's childlike sense of play and jump-up-and-down exuberance. When Windo heads into the upper register (as he often does) and starts squealing and squeaking like a tea kettle on high boil, he does not seem to be expressing humanity's suffering, or his rage, or a desire for transcendence (all of which are quite valid musically, of course). Rather, he just seems to be so full of bonhomie and effervescence that he can't contain himself. It's an infectious quality, and it definitely pulls the listener in. The other reason for the quality of this music is the nature of the music scene in the 1970s, particularly in the United Kingdom, where people got together spontaneously in various impromptu settings, with a great mingling of styles and sensibilities. Windo and Robert Wyatt worked together on a variety of projects. Other past ...
| | Metal Church Weight Of The World CD (2004) (Import) Japan
Ritual Fires Of Abandonment
$35.49 WEIGHT OF THE WORLD is the 2004 release of the Seattle heavy metal band Metal Church and features the tracks "Leave Them Behind," "Hero's Soul," Sunless Sky," and "Bomb To Drop."
Ah, Metal Church. Once one of America's most promising heavy metal bands, originally colleagues (rivals, even) of the mighty Metallica -- has any other band's career been as marked by internal chaos, confusion, and, let's face it, commercial indifference, as that of these Seattle natives? The odds are slim, and yet, conversely, has any metal outfit proved as doggone persistent at the same time? Surely that must count for something, and with the realization that 2004's The Weight of the World amazingly celebrates the group's 20th anniversary (even though it's only their seventh studio ...

Ritual Fires Of Abandonment
$16.69 Ted Weems is best known for having the hit "Heartaches" and leading a fine sweet-based big band during the 1930s and '40s that during one period featured the vocals of Perry Como. However, in the 1920s, Weems' orchestra was the definitive dance band, performing everything with a strong jazz flavor and concise solos, yet always being melodic and accessible to a wider audience. This two-CD set expertly sums up Weems' prime jazz period, starting with his 1923 hit version of "Somebody Stole ...
