You don't need to speak a word of French to understand Histoire de Melody Nelson -- one needs only to look at the front cover (with its nearly pornographic portrait of a half-naked nymphet clutching a rag doll) or hear the lechery virtually dripping from Serge Gainsbourg's sleazily seductive voice to realize that this is the record your mother always warned you about, a masterpiece of perversion and corruption. A concept record exploring the story of -- and Gainsbourg's lust for -- the titular teen heroine, Histoire de Melody Nelson is arguably his most coherent and perfectly realized studio album, with the lush arrangements ...
| | Elvin Jones Momentum Space CD (1999)
Trio + Two
$24.45
/Cecil Taylor/Elvin Jones.
Personnel: Dewey Redman (tenor saxophone); Cecil Taylor (piano); Elvin Jones (drums).

Recording information: Avatar Recording Studio, New York, NY (08/04/1998/08/05/1998).
All one has to do is look at the personnel on this trio project (tenor saxophonist Dewey Redman, pianist Cecil Taylor and drummer Elvin Jones) and it is obvious that the set is potentially special. Taylor, still the most adventurous musician in jazz at that point after 45 years, does not get grouped into all-star settings very often. However, when he does (his earlier encounter with the Art Ensemble of Chicago is an example), it is not a matter of the other musicians meeting Taylor halfway; instead, ...

Trio + Two
$15.05
Calypso music, best represented by Lord Kitchener and in pop circles by Harry Belafonte, was quite a force in the Caribbean islands during the 1950s. In the '60s and '70s, it had fused with various other nearby Latin musics, rhythm & blues dance forms, disco, and the CTI funky jazz sound. The upbeat African music of Fela Kuti, U.S. groups like Tower of Power and Stuff, and the JB Horns backup section of the James Brown bands ran parallel to these styles. You can clearly hear a healthy sharing of dialects in all of these ensembles, threaded through the fibers of this potent, happy, positive music. There are 20 different groups represented here, giving you a decade's worth of soul sounds done with a Latin flavor, and beefed up by dramatic horn charts that shout to the sky in a liberated mindset, proud to be alive and living in sun-drenched, oceanic tropical climates. The best of the best include Boris Gardiner's 6/8 beat on "Negril" done Manu Dibango style, the sonorous "90% of Me Is You" by Amral's Trinidad Cavaliers Steel Orchestra, the furious "Guanavaco" by French-Caribbean star Marius Cultier forged by strong montuno piano, and a hot horn section shouting to the rafters on the jazz-oriented instrumental "Calypsoul" by Clarence Curvan & His Mod Sounds. Running as close seconds are the funky jazz-laced "Blackness of Darkness" by Cedric Im Brooks, the 6/8 soca sound infused by flutes and a sidereal organ sound during "We See Jah" by the Antiguan reggae band Wadadli Experience, and the legendary Cuban group Los Van Van led by Juan Formell doing the flute-driven dance party tune "A Ver Que Sale." Of historical importance ...

| | Mr Scruff Keep It Unreal CD (1999) (Import) United Kingdom
Trio + Two
$10.39
Thanks to imaginative programming on tracks like the single "Honeydew," Keep It Unreal is yet another accomplished work by breakbeat maestro Mr. Scruff. The vibes definitely triumph over any progression on these tracks, but the album's diverse moods and tempos work magic. The galloping gait and what sounds like a Louis Jordan sample power "Get a Move On," while the next track, "Midnight Feast," has the late-night feel of a Portishead single. The single "Honeydew" has a rich, soulful vocal that lifts the song into Soul II Soul territory while the cagey, metallic drum programs sound straight off a driving new wave single. "Cheeky" is a deep-groove house number with bright piano lines and an echoed diva vocal. Several tracks are reminiscent of Amon Tobin's swing-era plunderphonics, but most everything here is original, well-done, and prime Mr. Scruff. ~ John Bush
Andrew Carthy is one of the zanier beatsmiths. He's an obsessive collector of audio esoterica and a cartoonist with a charmingly childlike line in scribble. As Mr. Scruff, he combines both sensibilities to people his musical world. KEEP IT UNREAL is so overstuffed with quirky beats and pieces that "Keep It Surreal" might have been more appropriate. Like labelmates Amon Tobin and Coldcut, Mr. Scruff plunders his vast record collection for funk, soul, exotica, ...
