This is a fairly typical Mike Stern fusion date, featuring his rocking guitar on seven of his pieces. Stern is joined by his usual sidemen -- tenor saxophonist Bob Berg, keyboardist Jim Beard, electric bassist Jeff Andrews, either Peter Erskine or Dennis Chambers on drums and percussionist Manolo Badrena -- and plays with plenty of fire, yet a good amount of restraint. Michael Brecker is a guest on "Chief," jamming on his fairly anonymous-sounding EWI. A decent effort, easily recommended to fans of the more adventurous rock guitarists. ~ Scott Yanow
Personnel: Mike Stern (guitar); Bob Berg (saxophone); Jim Beard (keyboards); Jeff Andrews (bass); Peter Erskine (drums).

Jigsaw CD music
$6.39  
With BIRTH OF THE COOL, Miles Davis distilled a new tonal palette for jazz. As early as 1954, Miles reacted to the escalating chordal complexity of hard bop by fashioning an evocative blues based on a simple scalar pattern ("Swing Spring"). KIND OF BLUE was the ultimate fulfillment of this approach, with Miles providing his collaborators little more than outlines for melodies and simple scales for improvisation. By emphasizing the blues and the improvisor's melodic ...

Jigsaw music CDs
$8.19
This 2-for-1 CD packs together two early-1970s countrified albums by ex-Monkee Michael Nesmith, AND THE HITS JUST KEEP COMING and PRETTY MUCH YOUR STANDARD RANCH STASH. The compilation includes "Different Drum," a hit for Linda Ronstadt, on whose version he appeared.
After leaving the Monkees, Michael Nesmith recorded a handful of superb country-rock albums for RCA Records in the early '70s, and this two-fer CD reissues his two final albums for the label -- which were also two of his best. And the Hits Just Keep on Comin' was recorded in 1972 by Nesmith with just a single accompanist, pedal steel guitarist Red Rhodes, after Nesmith suffered a falling out with the rest of his band. Nesmith turned this challenge into a triumph; the album boasts an uncommon warmth and intimacy, and the interplay between Nesmith's vocals and Rhodes' steel is a wonder to behold. Nesmith was back to working with a band on Pretty Much Your Standard Ranch Stash, but he did so without robbing the album of the empathy and subtlety that made Hits so special; highlights include the lovely "Winonah" (about as close to a straight country ballad as Nesmith would ever get) and a fine bluegrass medley, "Back Porch and a Fruit Jar Full of Iced Tea." Michael Nesmith often had a hard time shaking off the image he picked up in the Monkees, and his solo career suffered as a result, but if his albums for RCA didn't sell very well, ...

| | Everly Brothers Sing CD (1967)
Jigsaw album
$10.29
Coming at what seemed like the low ebb of their commercial fortunes, The Everly Brothers Sing was neglected even by many fans at the time, and was overlooked for the next 38 years, until its reissue by Collectors' Choice Music in 2005. Actually, it represented some of the duo's most ambitious music of the late '60s, if not their most successful, and was as forward-looking musically as its immediate predecessor, The Hit Sound of the Everly Brothers -- released in February of 1967 and heavily laden with covers of '50s rock/R&B standards and '60s songs that were already identified as "oldies" -- was retro; the most interesting and challenging song from that record's sessions, "Even If I Hold It in My Hand (Hard Luck Story)," was left in the can, but not so with this, their next album. The duo had proved with the summer 1966 Two Yanks in England that they could hold their own with the Hollies doing Hollies' originals, and -- after the brief hiatus of Hit Sounds -- plunged into the swirling psychedelic waters of 1967 with new confidence. Their upbeat yet nostalgia-laced, country-flavored single "Bowling Green," recorded in late March of 1967, reached the U.S. Top 40 in July, and the accompanying album The Everly Brothers Sing came out the following month. The results, if overproduced (and who wasn't overproduced in 1967?) and sometimes over-ambitious (and there was a lot of that going around, too), were unique in their history. On top of "Bowling Green" -- their first U.S. hit in over three years -- we got the ornate, upbeat ballad "I Don't Want to Love You," on which a Jay Migliori's woodwinds offer a haunting minimalist accompaniment over the middle-eight (and if that detail sounds more like it belongs in the description of a Beatles or a Hollies record of the era, it was no accident, because the duo was fully versed in what was going on in London and elsewhere production-wise); and the spacy, trippy "Mary Jane," complete with fuzz guitars in the foreground and multiple layers of rhythm guitars being strummed -- by James Burton and Glen Campbell, among other notables -- and lots of percussion behind them, as a pretty and unthreatening harmonized declaration of hipness. In all honesty, the latter was a misfire as a followup single, and not all of the rest worked -- ...
