Purchase You CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Mike Bloomfield Super Session CD (1968) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
You album
 $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 mouth.
Those familiar with the Live Adventures album these two recorded at the Fillmore West know how brilliant they could be on stage, and here's another gem, ...

You music CDs
$16.05 
COME AWAY WITH ME won the 2003 Grammy Awards for Album Of The Year, Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Engineered Album (Non-Classical).
"Don't Know Why" won the 2003 Grammy Awards for Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
Arif Mardin won the 2003 Grammy Award for Producer Of The Year (Non-Classical).
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
A direct descendant from the pedigree of one of the 20th century's virtuosos, Norah Jones might not be on such a lofty artistic level as her dad Ravi Shankar, but certainly inherited some musical intuition from him. With nary a sitar nor raga within earshot, the young newcomer sounds very much an assimilated, western, 21st century pop-jazz singer. One thing that separates her from the pack is Ms. Jones' own piano stylings--not flashy, but deftly doubling or echoing her voice--that discreetly act as the glue holding together these airy, delicate, and beautiful arrangements.
But the centerpiece is certainly the 22-year-old's confident-beyond-her-years vocal delivery in addition to a precise diction and velvety tone. Shades of Nina Simone, vintage Phoebe Snow, and a less beatnik Rickie ...

You CD music
$10.49 
Following LOST & FOUND, an album that earned Ledisi a pair of Grammy nominations, TURN ME LOOSE partially roots itself in the singer's past work and otherwise branches out from it. The album's title, as well as its cover, indicates a new, brash direction--one that makes up only a portion of the set. Throughout the opening "Runnin," "Knockin'," and stretches of a couple other songs--not to mention a charging, howling cover of Buddy Miles' "Them Changes"--Ledisi and her band deliver rocking funk that cooks as hot as Labelle's "Messin' with My Mind" ...

| | Jaco Pastorius Big Band Word Of Mouth Revisited CD (2003) SACD Hybrid
You album
$16.05
This is a Hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
Back before he turned everyone's idea of bass playing inside out, Jaco Pastorius spent five years on the bandstand with the Peter Graves Orchestra at Bachelors III, a swanky spot in his hometown of Ft. Lauderdale. Nearly three decades after the future star's departure in 1975, and 16 years after his brutal murder, Graves got the guys back together, christened them in their former colleague's name, and invited the most prominent bass guitarists of the early 21st century down to join them in a project dedicated to Pastorius' legacy. Throughout these polished performances, the bass parts testify to how profoundly Pastorius altered that instrument's role. Bottom line (so to speak): he gave them the option of playing from a soloist mentality and blowing all over the beat, as fast and free as any saxophonist, as long as he or she had chops and didn't subvert the groove. The guest bassists on this collection absorbed this lesson long ago. Each can scatter quick licks, some of them even faster than Pastorius himself. So why does a vague disenchantment haunt these performances? Perhaps it's because these players, great as they are, are still emulating more than discovering. Some imitate even the nuances of the Pastorius tone and phrasing, as does Richard Bona on "Punk Jazz" -- which, of course, may be a form of tribute in this context. On an opposite extreme, the light-speed, staccato hailstorm unleashed by Victor Wooten on "Teen Town" is fundamentally unmusical, focusing on the player more than the material being played -- which is, come to think ...

| | Miggs Insomnia CD (2005)
You music CDs
$12.49
From the Barenaked Ladies to the Goo Goo Dolls to Toad the Wet Sprocket to the Rembrandts, Gavin MacKillop is a producer/engineer who has shown a fondness for the more melodic, hooky, tuneful bands in alternative pop/rock. An album that MacKillop produces or engineers won't necessarily fit that description, but there is a good possibility that it will -- and the Miggs' second album, Insomnia, won't hurt MacKillop's reputation for embracing the melodic, hooky, tuneful side of alternative pop/rock. This is alternative pop/rock that has a lot of power pop and arena rock appeal -- nothing abstract, dissonant, or angular takes place -- and the Miggs have an attractive, easily likable sound that draws on alternative influences such as the Replacements, R.E.M., Live, and the abovementioned Goo Goo Dolls. In other words, the Miggs are very much the sort of band one would expect MacKillop to produce given his history. Nothing groundbreaking occurs on Insomnia, but the Northern Californians' material ...
| | Gato Barbieri Impulse Story CD (2006)
You songs
$9.95
Gato Barbieri may be one of those saxophonists whose sound is so closely associated with smooth jazz -- and has been since the late '70s -- that it's hard to imagine he was once the progenitor of a singular kind of jazz fusion: and that's world fusion, not jazz-rock fusion. Barbieri recorded four albums for Impulse! between 1973 and 1975 that should have changed jazz forever, in that he provided an entirely new direction when it was desperately needed. That it didn't catch certainly isn't his fault, but spoke more to the dearth of new ideas that followed after the discoveries of John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, and Miles Davis. Barbieri, a Coltrane disciple, hailed from Argentina and sought to bring the music of Latin America, most specifically its folk forms, into the jazz arena. He was wildly successful aesthetically and critically if not commercially -- though the first album, Chapter One: Latin America, sold well enough (it is currently available as half of a two-disc set called Latino America [IMPD 236-2], which includes Chapter Two: Hasta Siempre, restores all cuts to their original lengths, and adds bonus material). But there's more to it than his adding folk musicians -- not studio pros -- to the mix. Barbieri's volume of The Impulse Story is one of a ten-disc series by individual artists that fleshes out the four-CD box called The House That Trane Built, supporting Ashley Kahn's book of the same name -- the author chose all the selections on these volumes and wrote biographical notes to each package. Barbieri appears here with small and large folk groups -- which include fellow Argentine bandoneonist Dino Saluzzi to name just one -- recorded in both Rio and Los Angeles. The disc's first five cuts come from Chapter One and Chapter Two, and the complete versions of both "Nunca Mas" and "Econtros," as well as the stomping "Gato Gato," come from those sessions. The next phase of the Impulse!/Gato saga took place in 1974 on Chapter Three: Viva Emiliano Zapata -- which remains out of print -- and the next three cuts, "Cuando Vuelva a Tu Lado (What a Difference a Day Makes)," the title tune, and Barbieri's own "El Sublime," are included. These tracks feature the saxophonist fronting Cuban bandleader and arranger Chico O'Farrill's big band, and were recorded in New York. Barbieri's amazing ...
| | Bob Dylan Love Sick CD (1997) (Import) Japan
You album
$37.55
This double-CD features eight cuts, including two versions of the title track, by the singer-songwriter.
For anyone who witnessed a Bob Dylan show during the late '90s, two things were clear. One was the obvious fact that the singer's glory days were well past him. He seemed a ghost of the man who, at his peak, recorded Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited, Blonde on Blonde, The Basement Tapes, and John Wesley Harding (a string of albums to rival anything in popular music before or since) in just three years. But the surprising thing was what a consummate performer he was so late in his career. On the best nights, there was an undeniable passion in his voice. Live Dylan performances both before and after Time Out of Mind (1997) found him embracing his phenomenal back catalog while digging up traditionals from blues, bluegrass, folk, and country music à la Good as I Been to You (1992) and World Gone Wrong (1993). The two discs of this Japanese import Love Sick single collect seven live tracks that present an accurate cross section of the type of material you may have heard on any given night. The sound lies somewhere between quality bootleg and a more professional soundboard transfer. Disc one has a reworking of Time Out of Mind's "I Can't Wait," which has an unexpected reggae influence and a new guitar hook that charge the song beautifully. The band's traditional repertoire is represented by "Roving Gambler," a tour highlight. In this acoustic setting, Dylan's strengths as a singer (even in 1997) become more apparent. Lastly, there is a version of the legendary Infidels outtake "Blind Willie McTell." Disc two is less satisfying. Lacking a strong melody, "Cold Irons Bound" wears out its welcome over almost seven minutes. Dylan's deficiencies are too evident. The best performance is reserved for what may be the weakest song. The pleasant "Born in Time" (from Under the Red Sky) is given an affectionate, understated performance. Dylan's previous live outing (MTV Unplugged from 1995) was heavy on his most familiar material, so the song selection here is refreshing. Dylan fans will surely be more than happy to get ahold of this tour document. If you are a more casual listener, however, this import might be a little too expensive. ~ Nathan Bush
Bob Dylan CD singles started appearing around the world in 1994 and 1995 for the revived Oh Mercy outtake, "Dignity," which became a well-played hit on radio stations across the globe. Columbia also released various CD singles for Dylan's MTV Unplugged album, and the singles usually included a handful of field recordings from various stages in Dylan's career. After Time Out of Mind was released to critical and commercial success in the fall of 1997, Sony-Columbia issued CD singles for "Not Dark Yet" and two different versions of "Love Sick." The cover art on these singles features contemporary pictures of Dylan, along with a retro Columbia design on the discs, making them pretty slick items. Not only visually pleasing, the CD singles are labeled as "viva-tonal" recordings and include recent concert performances of songs from the recently released Time Out of Mind. Also included are live renditions of some of the traditional acoustic material that Dylan was peppering his live sets with during this time. On the ...
