Shock Treatment album
 $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 by the legendary Antonio Carlos Jobim. QUIET NIGHTS isn't solely a Brazilian-themed outing, however, as Krall also spends plenty of time in the comfortable realm of the Great American Songbook, offering up elegant orchestral renditions of "I've Grown Accustomed to His Face" and the Bacharach/David gem "Walk On By" that ...

How a good-looking Jewish boy from Brooklyn discovered the secret of success in an updated form of mariachi music is perhaps beyond our scope. Then again, it might not be such a mystery after all. Aside from the obvious example of exotica, much easy listening depends upon more than a touch of ethnicity to maintain its musical roots. What Herb Alpert found in Mexican street bands was a previously untapped source of south-of-the-border melody and rhythm. With its unlikely combination of Alpert's cool Chet Baker-like trumpet and the blocky cadences of a marching band, the Tijuana Brass produced a lively, colorful mix that managed to appeal to hips and squares alike.
WHIPPED CREAM & OTHER DELIGHTS was Herb Albert's most successful album, helped--no doubt--by its highly provocative cover art. The tunes are mostly unknown originals or, in the case of Lieber & Stoller's "Love Potion #9," so transformed by the Tijuana "treatment" as to be almost unrecognizable. Special mention must go to guitarist John Pisano and marimba man Julius Wechter, ...

Musically, this exhilarating ride through the playful streets of Los Angeles proves no less a calling card for the city's lighthearted side than Randy Newman's "I Love L.A.." Aside from asserting his considerable abilities as a solo artist, composer and producer after a handful of years as a keyboardist with The Rippingtons, Portmann desired to create an innovative recording specifically designed both sonically and musically for the f reeway, where folks in the City of Angels spend so much of their time. The tunes are lively, spry and spirited, providing two morning to night, top down, wind in your face joyrides that perfectly capture both the cool, laid back aspects of beach life ("200 South Robertson," the vocal "Cruise Control," sung by former Hiroshima lead singer Machun) and the often frenetic pace of the palm lined streets ("California Spyder"). The pacing is perfectly balanced, and though there is an amazing number of all star performances, Portmann allows himself to emerge as leader by expanding his chops on plucky pieces like "It's My Turn." With guests like Steve Bailey, Jeff Kashiwa, Tony Morales and Steve Reid, there were indeed a slew of Ripps comparisons. His compositions are as accessible as Russ Freeman's, but Portmann's vision and often jazzy keyboard style carry him beyong the artistic bounds he had with the band. ~ Jonathan Widran
A best-kept secret in the business. Having quickly gained a considerable reputation as a talented producer, arranger, and musician for some of the biggest stars in music, Mark Portmann steps comfortably into the spotlight as a solo artist with his debut solo album, DRIVING BEVERLY HILLS. The album gives the Grammy-nominated arranger and accomplished keyboardist and opportunity to deliver his own rich, lyrical, pop flavored jazz melodies to a growing audience of fans. In many ways, the album brings Portmann back to where he started: at the piano. Musicians include: Michael Paulo (sax), Jeff Kashiwa (sax), Freddy Washington, Jr (bass), Jerry Watts (bass), Ron Komie (gtr), Paul Jackson, Jr (gtr), Steve Reid (percussion), Steve Ferrone (drums), Tony Morales (drums), Greg Bissonette (drums), Herman Matthews (drums), Alan Hinds (gtr), Steve Bailey (bass), John Defaria (gtr), Philip Ingram (vocals), Machun (vocals), Mark Portmann (piano, keyboards, programming, arranging, producer, composer), Ed Smart, Matt Fronke, Wendell Kelly Eric Jorgenson ...
