| | Is It...Man Or Astroman? CD (1993)
Dis songs
$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ear for yesterday's sounds of tomorrow, as they decorate their mostly instrumental tracks with obscure sound bytes from out-of-date sci-fi movies and forgotten TV shows.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 ...
| | Jan Garbarek Visible World CD (1995)
Dis album
$14.79 Apart from David Sanborn, probably no living saxophonist has a more instantly recognizable voice than Jan Garbarek; actually, given the fact that Sanborn's sound is so widely copied, Garbarek's may be easier to identify in a blindfold test. This album in particular puts that sound front and center. Garbarek's the show; he composed all of the music, and is essentially the only soloist. The music (much of which was composed as soundtrack material for film or video) is quintessential Garbarek, full of the world music influences that have characterized his work since the 1970s. Garbarek's resonant, carefully articulated tenor and soprano tone suits the spacious, ...
| | Miles Davis Kind Of Blue CD (1959) Bonus Track; Remastered
Dis CD music
$6.25 With BIRTH OF THE COOL, Miles Davis distilled a new tonal palette for jazz. As early as 1954, Miles reacted to the escalating chordal complexity of hard bop by fashioning an evocative blues based on a simple scalar pattern ("Swing Spring"). KIND OF BLUE was the ultimate fulfillment of this approach, with Miles providing his collaborators little more than outlines for melodies and simple scales for improvisation. By emphasizing the blues and the improvisor's melodic gifts, KIND OF BLUE precipitated a major stylistic development--modal jazz.
Charles Mingus had experimented with pedal points throughout the 1950s, and the melodic freedom of Ornette Coleman's Atlantic sides was also predicated on freedom from chord changes. But KIND OF BLUE was to prove the most influential, enduring work ...
| | Manhattan Transfer Pastiche CD (1977)
Dis music CDs
$11.19 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, ...
