Misterioso
$10.89  
Nearly a decade after Dean Martin's death, the crooner's fans were finally given the definitive Dino collection. While there was already a two-disc summation of Martin's Capitol recordings, as well as several compilations of his Reprise material, the single-disc, 30-track DINO: THE ESSENTIAL DEAN MARTIN contains a generous selection of the best of his work, culling from both labels' vaults. Steubenville, Ohio's favorite son became a singing star in the 1950s, mostly by virtue of his smooth, easy charm, apparent both in his vocal style and his public image. That charm is crystallized here--the South American lilt of "Sway;" the spare, countryish "Memories Are Made of This" (not insignificantly covered later by Johnny Cash); ...

When this came out in 2003, it marked the first studio release by the Yardbirds in 35 years. In that time, of course, the personnel had changed quite a bit. Even those inclined to get excited by reunions of great bands should know right off that it includes just two original members, drummer Jim McCarty and rhythm guitarist Chris Dreja (though Jeff Beck plays guest guitar on one number, "My Blind Life"). Rounded out by three "new" members (including bassist John Idan, whose lead singing sounds fairly close to original Yardbirds vocalist Keith Relf in style and tone), the record also features guest lead guitar cameos by Jeff Baxter, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, and Brian May, with Johnny Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls singing lead on "For Your Love." The instinct is to make cruel, sardonic jokes about how the absence of Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and (for the most part) Jeff Beck doesn't matter, as guitarists were always the weak links in the Yardbirds anyway. Yes, the non-presence of these fabled guitar heroes, as well as Relf (who died in 1976), does mean that this can't be compared in any way to the group's classic 1960s output, even if it's billed to the Yardbirds' name. For all that, however, this is a lot better than you'd expect, and certainly far more respectable than most reunion/comeback efforts by decimated lineups of classic outfits. The production is straight-ahead without the usual sellouts to modern technology, putting the sleek guitar work to the fore. Half the record has remakes of old Yardbirds staples like "For Your Love," "Shapes of Things," and "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago," but they're not done badly, though you feel as though you're listening to a really good Yardbirds tribute band rather than the real deal. The original material, though not as good as those old Yardbirds tunes, actually sounds -- whether as a result of conscious or unconscious effort -- in the Yardbirds style, with plenty of irregular tempos, minor-keyed melodies, metaphysically questing lyrics, and Gregorian vocals (as on the Relf tribute "An Original Man (A Song for Keith)"). ~ Richie Unterberger

$20.89 | | Sun Ra Jazz In Silhouette CD (2008) (Import) Spain
Misterioso
$14.85
This compilation concentrates on late 1958, during which time Sun Ra and his various Arkestras were taking up residency at El Saturn Studios in Chicago. As the title indicates, Jazz in Silhouette and Sound Sun Pleasure!! make up the bulk of this release, while rounding out the package are two cuts considered to have been recorded around the same time frame. According to the documentation, Ra on keyboards is supported throughout by Hobart Dotson (trumpet), Marshall Allen (alto sax/flute), James Spaulding (alto sax/flute), John Gilmore (tenor sax), Pat Patrick (baritone sax/flute), Charles Davis (baritone sax), Ronnie Boykins (bass), William "Bugs" Cochran (drums/percussion), and/or Robert Barry (drums). This phase in Ra's musical development reveals that the Arkestra, while still working out singular remakes from the Great American Songbook, were increasing the number of Ra originals in their repertoire. Ra's unrelenting innovation is exemplified by his skills as a writer, arranger, player, and bandleader. The very early reading of the venerable Ra classic "Saturn" is essential listening, while the dense and multifaceted "Velvet" offers Hobart Dotson (trumpet) an opportunity to unleash his talents. Ra's fascination with music from his ancestors comes to fruition on the extensive "Ancient Aiethopia." To a similar extent, the dozen-plus-minute "Blues at Midnight" allows the combo's soloists a chance to stand out, particularly John Gilmore, Ronnie Boykins, Pat Patrick (on baritone sax), and Marshall Allen (on alto sax), all of whom interact with Ra's fundamental melodic and rhythmic banter. Parties familiar with Evidence Music's stellar reissue of Sound Sun Pleasure!! will note that none of the "bonus tracks" can be found here. Once again, the time frame is 1958 in the Windy City. Joining the band on a couple of these tunes is Hatty Randolph. Her contributions to "'Round Midnight" and "Back in Your Own Backyard" raise the question as to why Ra so rarely worked with vocalists again prior to June Tyson's 1970s and '80s stint. The best of the lot, however, is the empathy she brings to "You Never Told Me That You Care" -- co-written by Ra and Hobart Dotson. The catchy instrumental "Great Balls of Fire" bears no apparent relationship to the Jerry Lee Lewis song of the same name. The song was initially pressed by Saturn Records on a 45-rpm disc b/w the Jazz in ...
