| | Stephane Wrembel Gypsy Rumble CD Stephane Wrembel Discography of CDs
French guitarist Stephane Wrembel clearly emulates fellow countryman and musician Django Reinhardt. Yet Wrembel's Reinhardt-influenced playing doesn't lose charm for its easy-to-spot inspiration. Instead, GYPSY RUMBLE, recorded with Wrembel's trio and special guest David Grisman on mandolin, fuses the gypsy jazz of Reinhardt with various world music influences and postmodern flourishes in fresh and exciting ways. The album comes highly recommended to fans of Reinhardt, gypsy music, or acoustic classical guitar.

Dirty Linen (p.60) - "Wremble is paired with another longtime student of Reinhardt, mandolinists David Grisman, and the inspired interaction between the two reflects both their virtuosity and their keen knowledge of the Reinhardt canon."

$12.29 Conte Candoli (trumpet); Victor Feldman (vibraphone); Emil Richards (marimba); Keith Mitchell (bass); Earl Palmer, Stan Levey (drums).
Originally released on Reprise (6019), Reprise (6049) & Reprise (6073).
This double CD is more about Barney Kessel the studio player than Kessel the jazz guitar legend. Still, this compilation of three LPs originally released between 1961-1963 has some good music, and Kessel the jazz man is not entirely absent, even though the settings do not call for him to stretch out.
Breakfast at Tiffany's is Kessel's handling of Henry Mancini's music from the classic Blake Edwards film with Audrey Hepburn. With a number entitled "Moon River Cha Cha," listeners pretty much ...

Gypsy Rumble music CDs
$13.09 Diana Krall's first studio outing since she and husband Elvis Costello became the proud parents of twin boys, 2009's QUIET NIGHTS finds the jazz singer/pianist turning in a serene and pleasantly subdued set. Krall breezes through a few bossa nova standards, most notably "The Girl from Ipanema" (here gender-reversed to "The Boy...") and the title track (originally "Corcovado"), both penned ...

| | Screamin Jay Hawkins Best Of The Bizarre Sessions: 1990-1994 CDs (2000)
Gypsy Rumble music CDs
$18.69 This 18-song compilation is taken from three albums that Screamin' Jay Hawkins recorded in the early '90s for Bizarre/Straight Records: Black Music for White People, Stone Crazy, and Somethin' Funny Goin On. While these albums contain some spirited performances, including the hysterical operatic version of "Ol Man River," they do not contain the fire or spontaneity of his classic '50s recordings. Some of the material may have been too sincere for Hawkins' style, such as the two songs penned by Tom Waits: "Ice Cream Man" and "Heart Attack and ...
| | Angela DeNiro Swingin' With Legends CD (1998)
Gypsy Rumble songs
$14.79 Recalling memories of those halcyon days when a hard-driving, swinging band featuring a vibrant, vivacious "girl" singer was a major force in popular music, the wife and husband team of Angela DeNiro and Ron Aprea have put together this exciting big band, vocal program. Featuring tight arrangements by Aprea and Frank Foster, a band of monster players with the added bonus of great guest artist solos by Foster, Lionel Hampton, and Lew Tabackin, it's understandable why this album was nominated for a Grammy. There's not a bad cut in sight, making it difficult to single out any for special praise. Lionel Hampton, young at 90, solos on "Midnight Sun" and reprises the solo at the end of the album after his conversation with an admiring DeNiro. Foster's tenor is unmistakable on a very high-powered version of "Avalon," on John Coltrane's "Naima," Antonio Carlos Jobim's "How Insensitive," and on his composition "Bring on the Raindrops." Tabackin and DeNiro do a Cleo Laine/John Dankworth scatting, solo sax call-and-response on "The Song Is You." Bandmembers get plenty of opportunity to stretch out. There's outstanding ensemble reed work on "Avalon," complementing Foster's solo. The band and DeNiro burned so hot on this one that there was a spontaneous outburst of cheering at the end (which wisely was kept on the CD). Mike Fahn's trombone sparkles on "Travelin' Light" and "A Ballad for Matthew," a celebration of DeNiro's love for her son. Glenn Guidone's tenor is featured on "Will You Still Be Mine," while Derrick Gardner's trumpet dazzles on "Don't Talk About Love." Virtually every song is kicked off by the Butch Miles-influenced drumming of Jim Young. Not all the songs are barnburners: DeNiro shows her tender side on "I'll Close My Eyes" and "Ill Wind." Possessing great range, perfect pitch, and good diction, and backed by a big band chock full of outstanding performers playing scintillating arrangements, this CD is a reminder of how exciting a big band can be. ~ Dave Nathan
Liner Notes from Swingin' With Legends:From the first time I heard Angela sing, one of my dreams was to produce her in this exact setting. What a thrill it has been for me to have my arrangements, along with Frank Foster's and Dennis Wilson's, performed on such a high level with such great talent. I think you, the listener, will feel the love and sincerity ...
