Dis album
 $10.65 
Escapist treats abound from this mysterious, tongue-in-cheek collective from the Southern United States. Man or Astro-man? have an ear for yesterday's sounds of tomorrow, as they decorate their mostly instrumental tracks with obscure sound bytes from out-of-date sci-fi movies and forgotten TV shows. Silly, dangerous, occasionally sloppy, but never boring, their album Is It Man...or Astro-Man? is the answer for everyone running low on laser gun/go-go/surf/spy/cowboy/drag racing/'60s/bullfighter/Mars-invasion/motorbike music. Songs like "Taxidermist Surf," "Invasion of the Dragonmen," and "Journey to the Stars" (originally by the Ventures) gallop along with the energy of a dozen wild stallions headed for Neptune. "Nitrous Burn Out" is a fantastic bit of racetrack romp, liberally mixed with roaring pistons and accident bulletins along the way. With anything so aggressively "up" ...

Guitarist Pat Metheny has been working with long song forms since his career began in the 1970s. However, his 2005 release, THE WAY UP, takes the extended form to the next level. One composition split into four sections, this album just may be Metheny's most ambitious work to date.

| | Kenny G Miracles: The Holiday Album CD (1994)
Dis CD music
$6.05 
"Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" was nominated for a 1996 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance.
Over the past decade, since first gaining popularity with the Jeff Lorber Fusion, soprano saxophonist Kenny G has become one of the most celebrated instrumental stars in all of popular music. By fusing elements of contemporary jazz with the most lyrical aspects of pop and R&B, Kenny G has created an enduring sound signature and a fan base that rivals that of any vocalist.
It is precisely these lyric, vocal gifts that make Kenny G's sound so instantly identifiable. And on MIRACLES: THE HOLIDAY ALBUM, the saxophonist has turned his attention towards some of the most enduring, engaging melodies in popular music. Inspired in part by the birth of his son, the album has a mellifluous melodic quality, a reassuring warmth, that transcends the holiday season.

| | Manhattan Transfer Pastiche CD (1977)
Dis music CDs
$11.65
Principally recorded at Studio 55, Los Angeles, California between December 1976 and September 1977. Originally released on Atlantic (19163).
The dictionary definition of "pastiche" is an artistic composition imitating or caricaturing previous works, so given the lack of homegrown material here, it is hard to say what the Manhattan Transfer meant by this title. In any case, this assortment of odds and ends from various eras in American music -- recorded in New York, Los Angeles, Nashville and Australia -- finds the Transfer casting its lines in search of a direction that it had yet to find. But there are signs that they were getting close. The Transfer's stunning rendition of "Four Brothers," with composer Jimmy Giuffre present in the sax section, marks the beginning of their championing of the words of Jon Hendricks and placed the Transfer in position to claim the long-vacant throne of group vocalese. Otherwise, there are curiosities like a quasi-C&W-tinted rendition of "Love for Sale" staffed by some of Nashville's finest...and a few fair covers of rock and R&B numbers... ~ Richard S. Ginell

This 1978 release is chock full of classic MT harmony. Like so many great recordings of theirs, it mixes vocal jazz with doo-wop and pop. Highlights include an amazing, be-bopping "Four Brothers" vocalese work by Jon Hendricks; a unique country spin on Cole Porter's "Love For Sale," and smooth jazz "On A Little Street in Singapore." This was the last recording to include founding member Laurel Masse, who went on to pursue a solo career.
Additional personnel includes: Ira Newborn, Jay Graydon, Ben Benay, Wayne Johnson (guitar); Buddy Emmons (steel guitar); Oscar Brashear, Chuck Findley, Gene Goe, Don Rader (trumpet); Garnett Brown, Vince Fanuele, Jack Redmond, Britt Woodman (trombone); Jon Mayer (piano, electric piano); David Foster (piano); David Wallace (piano, harpsichord, calliope, keyboards); Mike Boddiker (synthesizers); Andy Muson (bass); Art Rodriguez, Steve Gadd, Jim Gordon, Steven Schaeffer, Jeff Porcaro, Peter Johnson (drums); ...
