All songs written by Phil Shulman, Ray Shulman, Derek Shulman and Kerry Minnear. More influential than successful, the U.K. prog-rock act Gentle Giant was always overshadowed by 1970s contemporaries such as Jethro Tull, King Crimson, and Yes. However, 1974's THREE FRIENDS reveals that, musically, the group, which featured brothers Derek, Phil, and Ray Schulman, was on par with the aforementioned bands, both in establishing mood (see the wonderfully dreamy ...

Along with THREE FRIENDS, OCTOPUS is a fine example of Gentle Giant 's early-1970s heyday, which featured the oft-underrated British progressive-rock ensemble deftly balancing complex arrangements with catchy melodies and intriguing multi-part vocal harmonies. While the frenetic instrumental "The Boys in the Band" showcases the group's tight-knit musicianship, ...

HAMPTON COMES ALIVE responded to the age-old query, "What could be better than one full Phish concert?" The answer: two full Phish concerts. AT THE ROXY, though, takes that train of thought even further down the line by presenting three entire Phish concerts over the course of eight discs. Standout tracks of this more-than-eight-hour offering by the Vermont jam band include the groovy "AC/DC Bag" and the silly epic "Fluffhead." Recording ...

In the epic David vs. David face-off at the end of AMERICAN IDOL's seventh season, teen pop sensation David Archuleta was decisively defeated by more experienced rock performer David Cook, who issued this 2008 self-titled debut a week after Archuleta's own album. Aided by a veritable army of veteran alt-rock songwriters, including Johnny Rzeznik (Goo Goo Dolls) and Raine Maida (Our Lady Peace), Cook shines brightest with "Light On," a soaring anthem co-penned by Chris ...

Miles Davis In Person Friday Nights At The Blackhawk S.F. V.1 CD  (1961)

Acquiring The Taste songs
CD $24.89
Recorded live at the Blackhawk, San Francisco, California on April 22, 1961. Originally released on Columbia (8470). Includes liner notes by Ralph J. Gleason. The remastered Japanese special-edition release features a vinyl-inspired design. Miles Davis' first live presentation of his working band took place at the noted San Francisco nightclub, the ambience of which may best be summed up by the proud words of its owner, Guido Caccienti: "I've worked and slaved for years to keep this place a sewer." "Walkin'" is taken at the kind of jaunty tempo that distinguished the Wynton Kelly-Paul Chambers-Jimmy Cobb rhythm axis. Paul Chambers' buoyant, effortless beat, his sure sense of harmony and swing, and his resounding brand of melodic bass (dig his little bowed break at the conclusion of "Walkin'") are the glue which hold these performances together. On "Walkin'" he and Jimmy Cobb lock up the groove as if swinging were the same as breathing, allowing Kelly to engage the trumpeter in a continual dialogue, feinting counterpoint and feeding him his favorite chords, then dropping away to allow Miles to stroll for a taste. Kelly's joy is infectious on the band's old warhorse "Bye Bye Blackbird" and the easy-going ballad "All Of You," where he seems to particularly inspire a laid back bluesy Hank Mobley tenor solo. Mobley, never a Davis favorite, is not the fiery foil he relished, but his buttery tone and imperturbable lyric charm suit the slightly conservative tone of these performances. But in a long reading of "No Blues," Miles pointedly has Wynton Kelly testify briefly in response to his own, almost down home reading of a blues, before engaging Cobb in some talking rhythm exchanges. However, Kelly is capable of a gorgeous romantic approach, as in the lush chording which enlivens the closing "Love I've Found You." Japanese version featuring a limited LP style slipcase cover. DSD digitally remastered. Recorded live at the Blackhawk, San Francisco, California on April ...

4 stars Excellent!
GG's second album, "Acquiring the taste", shows that GG really begin to find their sound. As much of the other albums, it shows higly creative arrangements and perfect playing from the band! Unforenately, the are some weaker moments on the album, but not many! Anyway, Highly recommended! 4 1/2 stars.
