Act Your Age Music Review

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

5 stars AWESOME!
I have such a hard time choosing which album I love best. Can't go wrong with any of them! This album is packed with energy but can also take a step back and be an easy listen! Love it!

You have a lot of talent there with those Big Phat Winners. Angie O rocks, what a voice. She sings that tune better than Diane Reaves. Awesome sax player too.

Gordon Goodwin XXL CD (2003)

Act Your Age album

$14.39

XXL was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album. "Hunting Wabbits" was nominated for Best Instrumental Composition. "Comes Love" was nominated for Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalists. Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band is a modern big band which successfully blends elements of jazz and rock. Goodwin, who serves as keyboardist, composer, arranger and conductor, has created music that proves to be consistently catchy to the listener and challenging to his musicians. The leader obviously loves a good laugh. The playful staccato brass and reeds are the centerpiece of "Hunting Wabbits" before it transforms into a brisk bluesy vehicle. "Horn of Plenty," his tribute to the late Latin jazz great Tito Puente, features trumpeter Wayne Bergeron, and ...

John La Barbera Band Big Fantazm CD (2005)

Act Your Age CD music

$12.89

A superior arranger, John La Barbera utilized some of the top Los Angeles-based musicians on this big-band date (including his brother, drummer Joe La Barbera), importing his other musical brother, tenor and soprano saxophonist Pat La Barbera from Canada. Along the way one hears one of Woody Shaw's best compositions ("Moontrane"), an organ piece for Bill Cunliffe ("Pythodd Fellows"), the love theme from the film Apache ("My Love And I"), an obscure Duke Ellington number ("Fantaqzm"), the pop tune "Kyrie," Pat La Barbera's "Yours or Mine or Blues," and three originals by the leader. In addition to Pat and Joe La Barbera, key soloists include trumpeters Clay Jenkins and Wayne Bergeron, guitarist Larry Koonse, Bob Sheppard on soprano, altoist Kim Richmond, Bob Carr on bass clarinet, trombonist Andy Martin, and Bill Cunliffe on piano and organ. The writing gives each selection forward momentum and the results are never predictable. Highly recommended. ~ Scott Yanow John La Barbera Big Band - Fantazm"Fantazm," John La Barbera's follow-up ...

Carl Saunders Lost Bill Holman Charts CD (2007)

Act Your Age CD music

$13.25

In the early '80s, saxophonist Ted Richardson, a geologist by day, commissioned Bill Holman to write material for a septet album. After all of the ten arrangements were written, the project never took place and the charts sat in a closet for 20 years. Carl Saunders, lead trumpeter with Holman for many years and a brilliant soloist, unearthed the arrangements, and on this 2007 CD the music was finally recorded. Since Holman is one of the most brilliant arrangers in jazz history, the wait was worth it. While there are many fine solos along the way by Saunders (whose lines on the trumpet seem both effortless and endless), tenor saxophonist Pete Christlieb (showcased on "Dearly Beloved"), trombonist Andy Martin, pianist Christian Jacob, and guest Sam Most (on flute and baritone), it is the written ensembles that are most adventurous and memorable. Whether deconstructing and reinventing ...

Slade Alive! CDs (1972) (Import) England; Remastered

Act Your Age music CDs

$18.39

2006 digitally remastered two CD set, subtitled The Live Anthology, features not only the original Slade Alive! album but also Slade Alive! Volume Two, Slade On Stage and Alive At Reading for a total of 33 rockin' and stompin' Slade performances! The first live album 'Slade Alive!' was recorded at the Command Theatre Studio in London, for just 600, and released without overdubs of any sort in March 1972. 'Vol. Two' was culled from American concert performances in the autumn of 1976 as well as British dates the following spring. The story of Slade's renaissance at the 1980 Reading Festival has long since passed into the realms of rock music folklore. It was a performance that resurrected their flagging career and several tracks were originally ...

Review quotes:"Fascinating music in its construction and surprising in its orchestral dimension (...) An aesthetic approach of a rare elegance et authenticity, partially due to the the sound of the rhythm section, rigorous and inventive (...) A convincing stylistic counterpoint to the too many jazz trios published these last years." - Guillaume Bregeras - Jazzman (F)"In the best moments, something reaches through this music (L'herbe rouge I, Gnossopedie...), something impalpable, something that counts... Perhaps simply beauty." - Marc Sarrazy - Improjazz (F)"Dequidt's playing is constantly vital (...) The music is original, unbridled in its search for various ways and deeply fascinating." - Magnus Eriksson - Svenska Dagbladet (S)"Dequidt's ...
