| | University Of Cincinnati College-Concervatory Of Music Jazz Ensemble Lady Bird CD University Of Cincinnati College-Concervatory Of Music Jazz Ensemble Discography of CDs
This is an easy album to overlook because it features a college band with the anonymous name of the CCM Jazz Ensemble (CCM stands for University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music). However, the writing (mostly by alumni) is challenging and the many solos by the students are surprisingly mature and viable. The repertoire is quite inspired, featuring such songs as "Donna Lee" (this version has a lot of key changes), "Nardis," "In Your Own Sweet Way," and a riotous version of Charles Mingus' "Moanin'." This set, which also includes a couple small-group numbers, is far superior to most college band recordings and should be picked up by fans of modern big bands. ~ Scott Yanow

The debut recording from drummer Wuepper features an all-star line-up of New York musicians, including Eric Alexander, Ryan Kisor, Mike Diriabbo, Mike LeDonne & John Webber. The three horns front line sound is really a treat to hear over these great arra
Jazz ensembles headed by drummers hardly ever gain the prominence they deserve, the most notable exception being Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. But that was the College of Art from which some of the best young stars graduated. Despite the efforts of many talented drummers, that instrument is not usually considered anything beyond the keeper of time, the driver of rhythm, and foundation on which horns build their solos. There's little in Craig Wuepper's first album to change that perception. It's not likely he would have had do anything different if he were not the leader. But as such he at least has the prerogative of including his own compositions, and there are four of them here. Although he cites the styles of Philly Joe Jones and Elvin Jones among his influences, he is less noisy and intrusive than these two major modern drummers. While ...

Lady Bird songs
$9.89
Recorded between 1937 & 1969. Includes liner notes by Andrew Homzy.
The Verve compilation Count Basie's Finest Hour features a nice mix of sides recorded by the pianist/bandleader and his big band over the years. While it is by no means a definitive overview, it is a nice single-disc introduction to some of the jazz icon's best work. Included are such legendary tracks as "Corner Pocket," "One O'Clock Jump," and "Li'l Darlin'." ~ Matt Collar
All tracks have been digitally remastered.
Compilation producer: Bryan Koniarz.

| | Virgin Prunes ...If I Die, I Die CD (1982) Remastered
Lady Bird album
$10.25 
If I Die, I Die is the Virgin Prunes' proper debut album. The first three (of seven) parts of a conceptual work entitled A New Form of Beauty, issued as 7", 10", and 12" singles preceded it in the same calendar year. Produced by Wire's Colin Newman, the album's 14 tracks are the epitome of post-punk adventurism. Here, tribal drums and edgy, spooky, detuned guitars and bouzoukis cross paths and meld with synthesizers and primitive drum machines in an onslaught of off-kilter creativity where everyone from the Fall, PIL, New Order, Siouxsie & the Banshees, and even Bruce Springsteen are called in for reference in a brew that is dangerous, primal, and excessive. Two androgynous frontmen in the foppish Gavin Friday and alluring Guggi create alternate ambiences from warped yet sweet Irish balladry to shrieked poetry. And while the set is messy to be sure, it is far from off-putting. In fact, it is easily the band's ...
