Our Price: $9.99  

"The Poke" is pretty straightforward prog-jazz riffing, with an arresting synth melody and thorny basswork from Percy Jones (John Goodsall is no slouch on guitar, either). "Black Moon" allows percussionist Morris Pert to break out his arsenal of percussive sundries, sprinkling them across a late-night jazzy etude. The fireworks really erupt throughout "Access to Data," where Goodsall lets loose a fusillade of sparkling guitar riffs, while quacking keyboards react to the amplified overload. MASQUES is another important chapter in British jazz-fusion history for the uninitiated to explore.

Phil Collins sat out on the sessions that produced MASQUES, Brand X's 1978 entry in the almost-forgotten early fusion-era sweepstakes. MASQUES rocks a bit heavier than the previous MOROCCAN ROLL, but still offers delightful dense passages of jazz, rock, funk, complex arrangements, and tight ensemble playing.

Brand X: Morris Pert, Percy Jones, Peter Robinson, Chuck Burgi, John Goodsall.

I have the LP but I can't hear it because I hadn't pick up. Well I couldn't resist to buy the CD and enjoy good moments hearing this jazz rock. Now, i go to buy others CD to replace my old LP. It's funny

4 stars One of Brand X best!!!
Even Without Phil Collins, it's a great album! "Masques" is my personal favourite release from Brand X. The music is much more thight and jazz-rock like than on "Unorthodox Behaviour", which i think is great cause i love jazz-rock! Some minor flaws keep this album away from 5 stars, but i still recommend it!! Highly Recommended. 4 stars.

Herb Alpert S.R.O. CD  (1966) Remastered; Special Edition

Masques CD music
CD $9.99  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
By late 1966, it seemed as if every TV commercial and every pop arranger had latched onto the Herb Alpert "Ameriachi" sound -- at which point the resourceful originator of that sound began to pare it down and loosen it up a bit. S.R.O. (Standing Room Only), referring to the Tijuana Brass' string of sold-out concerts, is an accurate title, for this LP is about a seven-piece band loaded with experienced jazzers who groove and swing together to a greater degree than on their previous albums. Sure, the arrangements are very tightly knit and don't allow much room for spontaneity, but they still sound fresh and uninhibited, and Alpert often allows the flavor of jazz to come through more clearly. Indeed, two of the album's three hit singles, "The Work Song" and "Flamingo," are jazz tunes -- the former nervous and driving, the latter joyously kicking -- and the third, "Mame," gets a nifty Dixieland treatment a la Louis Armstrong, with Alpert singing one verse. The sleeping gem of the record is guitarist John Pisano's "Freight Train Joe," a wistfully evocative tune that won't quit the memory, and the mournful Alpert/Pisano/Nick Ceroli ...

The Peter Thorpe Memorial Fund marked its first anniversary in March 2004, and in its first year has provided various forms of assistance and encouragement to independent artists throughout the U.S. and to visitors from as far away as Great Britain and Australia.

The title cut, "Blue Train," is by Nashville Fats (Peter Thorpe) and is one of his last recorded songs. It is from "Nickel and Dime Poet," his final CD, released just months before his death. "Blue Train" was selected as the title cut for this compilation by Fats' friends, who find spiritual comfort in his opening words "I'm ready to roll!!" Nashville Fats' CD, "God's Country," is currently available at cdbaby /nashvillefats "Freddie's Blues," an instrumental by the Blues Allstars, was recorded in Nashville in the Fall of 2002. The Allstars are an international group of bluesmen who met online. All were chart-topping blues artists on MP3 . Fans of each others' music, they gathered in Nashville to record an 11-song CD, "Blues Allstars: The Nashville Sessions." They are top-notch players. "Freddie's Blues" features Texas blues guitar player Doc Quinn and Great Britain's Matt Thorpe, both playing lead guitar."Silly Me," by Nashville singer/songwriter Joel Keller,is a favorite and often-requested song at local Music City writers nights. Two other songs by Joel, "Backdoor Man" and "Looking For a Rainbow in My Tears," are featured in an independent film, "Breaking and Entering," shot in Louisville, Kentucky in 2003. These songs from "Joel Sings Joel" can be previewed at cdbaby /joelkeller"Ode To an Old Poway Boy," by James T, is from the CD "Expatriate," released in Australia, featuring three American "ex-pats": James T, Dirk Dubois, and Doc Span. Blues aficionados will remember James T (James Thornbury), as lead singer for the legendary blues band "Canned Heat." "Ode To an Old Poway Boy" features James on electric guitar and vocals. Nashville session player, songwriter, harpman, and vocalist David Street, of David Street and the Rock Doctors, is a recent transplant to Memphis. "Talk About You," an authentic blues tune written, sung, and produced by David, is from the CD recorded in Nashville, "Take One and Call Us In the Morning." More songs from this CD can be heard at cdbaby /rockdoctors, where the CD is available for purchase.

Anyone interested in music and the power of the internet will be fascinated and impressed with "Love Is Like an Angel" by Patti Sterling. Patti has a rich and powerful blues voice, and the song composed by Patti and John Cohmer is reminiscent of 60's Soul. However, another interesting feature of this song is its unusual production: A full internet collaboration, the song began with Patti in Los Angeles and John near Cincinatti, Ohio, co-writing online. The song was then globally recorded, via the internet, by a talented assortment of mulitnational blues players. Never meeting face-to-face, they laid down the tracks to "Love Is Like an Angel." The song was produced by Matt Thorpe in Manchester, England and sent ...
