Purchase Synopsis CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Norah Jones Fall CD (2009)
Synopsis album
 $14.54    
With The Fall, Norah Jones completes the transition away from her smooth cabaret beginnings and toward a mellowly arty, modern singer/songwriter. Jones began this shift on 2007's Not Too Late, an album that gently rejected her tendencies for lulling, tasteful crooning, but The Fall is a stronger, more cohesive work, maintaining an elegantly dreamy state that's faithful to the crooner of Come Away with Me while feeling decidedly less classicist. Some of this could be attributed to Jones' choice of producer, Jacquire King, best-known for his work with Modest Mouse and Kings of Leon, but King hardly pushes Norah in a rock direction; The Fall does bear some mild echoes of Fiona Apple or Aimee Mann in ballad mode, but its arrangements never call attention to themselves, the way that some Jon O'Brien productions do. Instead, the focus is always on Jones' voice and songs, which are once again all originals, sometimes composed in conjunction with collaborators including her longtime colleagues ...
| | Harry Connick, Jr Your Songs CD (2009)
Synopsis CD music
$10.99  
Much like 2001's SONGS I HEARD and 2004's ONLY YOU, 2009's YOUR SONGS finds vocalist/pianist Harry Connick, Jr. coming up with an urbane, passionate set of American popular standards and contemporary pop classics that he both performs and orchestrates. While his previous recordings leaned toward the classicist side--ONLY YOU featured songs of the '50s and '60s--YOUR SONGS features a more eclectic mix of standards and pop songs, with Connick's own lush orchestration lending an overall aesthetic of languid romanticism. To this end, Connick turns Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are" into a kind of Herb Alpert-inspired '60s pop nugget and, conversely, the Beatles' 1964 classic "And I Love Her" gets a kind of '70s Latin lounge feel with classical guitar flourishes. However, Connick isn't only concerned with reworking tunes in unexpected ways; on the ...

| | Ella Fitzgerald Ella Wishes You A Swinging Christmas CD (1960) Remastered
Synopsis album
$9.99
ELLA FITZGERALD WISHES YOU A SWINGING CHRISTMAS is a charming, warmly humorous--and yes, swinging--set of classic Christmas tunes. The program is familiar, from bouncy singalongs like "Jingle Bells" to slinky ballads like a downright sexy "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," but Fitzgerald treats each song with exactly as much respect as it deserves. And so Frank Loesser's "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve" is wistfully romantic and Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne's "Let It Snow" is kittenishly enticing. As always, Norman Granz's production avoids the schlock that drowns some holiday sets. This is as good as jazz Christmas albums get.
This is a delightful Christmas jazz reissue featuring Ella Fitzgerald in prime form. On most selections she is backed by Frank DeVol's orchestra. The original dozen selections have been expanded with the addition of three alternate takes plus three selections only out previously on samplers, including "Christmas Island." Fitzgerald clearly had a fun time ...
| | Evan Parker House Full Of Floors CD (2009)
Synopsis CD music
$12.78
On an inside panel of the booklet for House Full of Floors, Evan Parker's second release for John Zorn's Tzadik imprint (and his third album of 2009), he writes simply of the session as if framing a poem: "The plan was to / record the trio. / Aleks Kolkowski / came to make some / wax cylinder recordings / and he stayed / to play some / quartet pieces." The truth of the matter is, this is hardly disingenuous. The recording actually sounds exactly like its description. Parker, guitarist John Russell, and bassist John Edwards are featured on the majority of this beautiful set in a series of trios and duets that are knotty, subtle, and deeply intuitive improvisational pieces. Kolkowski joins them on a Stroh viola, the saw, and wax cylinder recorder on two tracks as well. Parker's signature as an improviser is immediate. Whether it's a series of single-note lines and phrases or tonal clusters rushing out of his tenor or soprano, the control is total. A prime example is "Ca-la-ba-son," an 11-minute trio piece where we first hear Russell's acoustic guitar before some breathy elongated tones on Parker's tenor. Edwards is hammering ever so lightly on the strings of his bass as an empathic rhythmic force. Parker's sense of "melody" quickly asserts itself and Russell is then coloring the spaces between. It's a very fast shift, ...

By the time Erasmo Catarino Gonzalez Delgado had taken first place in Mexico's popular American Idol-esque La Academia 4, he had fans eagerly waiting for his debut record to hit the shelves. Programs like La Academia tend to favor artists that lean towards a North American look and pop marketability over Erasmo's strong Mexican identity and traditional ...

Synopsis songs
$13.85
Choro is a uniquely Brazilian style, popular there in the 1930s, but now, in many ways, lost to history as musical trends march on. There's a strong resemblance to American jazz, although choro is more demanding with melody and asks for more detail in its solos. For several years the New York-based Choro Ensemble has been playing weekly gigs in the Big Apple, honing and perfecting its sound, and Nosso Tempo is the result. The mix of classic tunes like "Ingenuo" by the legendary Pixinguinha sits alongside other vintage material and originals such as "Bolo de Fuba." The mix of clarinet, the four-string cavaquinho ...
