During the mid- to late '40s, pianist Claude Thornhill led an orchestra that specialized in accessible instrumental mood music, sweet pop vocals, and (largely thanks to the creative sensibilities of arranger Gil Evans) beautifully orchestrated compositions associated with the latest developments in modern jazz. The Hep label has dedicated more than half-a-dozen CD compilations to Thornhill's musical legacy. Released in 2003, The 1946-47 Performances, Vol. 1 is almost entirely devoted to the sweet strata with vocals by Fran Warren, Buddy Hughes, and Gene Williams. Instrumental treats include Richard Addinsell's "Warsaw Concerto" and extended treatments of "La Paloma" and the "Arab Dance" from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite. Those itchy for a taste of the big-band bop aesthetic should go directly to The 1946-47 Performances, Vol. 2. ~ arwulf arwulf

| | Keith Jarrett Rarum I: Selected Recordings CDs (2002) Digipak
1946-1947 Performances Vol. 1 songs
$21.65 
The object of ECM's handsomely Digipak-aged Rarum series is to have its roster of artists -- past and present -- select their favorite performances on the label. Which leads to the next question: Is the artist always the best judge of his or her own material? With that in mind, Keith Jarrett's choices for his two-CD set, the first volume of this series, are sure to be some of the most interesting, wide-ranging, surprising, and controversial of the whole lot. Listeners have had fair warning -- ECM's previous Jarrett sampler, ECM Works, was also gleefully unpredictable -- but Rarum, Vol. 1: Selected Recordings gives you a much better idea of the staggering variety of Jarrett's interests over a 21-year span than the earlier disc. In his brief liner notes (it would have been nice to have had more memories about each of these selections), Jarrett confesses that he deliberately went for the esoteric; clearly the man is supremely confident that his fans will hear him out. Jarrett opens his treasure chest in a really eccentric way with three excerpts from his clavichord album Book of Ways -- two neo-Baroque, one a bit wearisome. There are no less than five rather engaging swatches from Jarrett's overlooked experimental Spirits album, where he overdubs himself on soprano sax, recorders, piano, and percussion. There is more from Jarrett's piping, edgy soprano saxophone in two excerpts from Invocations -- first in a cloud of reverb, then in a cloud of pipe organ -- and listeners hear one ferociously dissonant excerpt from ...

1946-1947 Performances Vol. 1 album
$17.15 
Losing a lead singer can be incredibly disruptive for a band. Some bands will bounce back -- AC/DC, for example, sounded better than ever when it hired Brian Johnson after Bon Scott's untimely death -- while others will suffer a creative decline. Sepultura experienced a major loss when former lead singer Max Cavalera left to form Soulfly in 1996, but thankfully, Derrick Green proved to be a highly capable replacement. If 1998's mildly uneven Against -- Sepultura's first album with Green -- found the band struggling with the transition, Green was filling Cavalera's shoes much more confidently on 2001's Nation. And if there are still any lingering doubts about the Green/Sepultura match, 2003's excellent ...
