| | Lee Morgan Live At The Lighthouse CD Lee Morgan Discography of CDs
 (2 Customer Reviews)
Recorded live at The Lighthouse, Hermosa Beach, California in 1970.
As Lee himself points out in his on--tape introduction to these three nights of live recording for Blue Note Records, the band had no plans to play anything Lee had already recorded, because, as Morgan mutters, "It just wouldn't make any sense." This sprawling three-CD set does, in the end, include a version of "The Sidewinder," as well as "Speedball," an uptempo blues from Lee's album THE GIGOLO, with Jack DeJohnette guesting. But even these tunes are rendered in a more abstract fashion than the way they were originally recorded, and on the balance of the material here you can feel the effects of the decade loud and clear.
Solos lean towards the exploratory and the cathartic, with the result that no tune clocks in under eleven minutes, and bassist Jymie Merritt's "Absolutions" pushes well past the twenty minute mark. Morgan's generosity as a leader extends beyond providing room to stretch out: with the exception of "The Sidewinder" and "Speedball," all of the material for these three nights was composed by either Merritt, saxophonist Bennie Maupin or pianist Harold Mabern.

Q (10/96, p.184) - 3 Stars - Good - "...as a trumpet prodigy in one of Art Blakey's best editions of the Jazz Messengers at the end of the '50s...the following decade saw him lose ground to other trumpetmen....But in this 1970 recording...he was playing with up-and-comers, recasting old material and stretching out on new stuff..."
JazzTimes (9/96, p.100) - "...Lee's quintet was at the peak of its powers, playing in a style that, though generically rooted in the patented hard bop of the various Jazz Messengers groups, also reflected such other trends of the day as funk and modal jazz..."

Although the plaudits for Melody Gardot's debut album, WORRISOME HEART, were entirely justified, it sometimes seemed as if the young singer-songwriter's compelling personal story--hit by a car and severely injured at the age of 19, the aspiring fashion designer began playing piano and writing songs as part of her physical ...
| | Gerald Wilson Detroit CD (2009)
Live At The Lighthouse CD music
$14.29 
Detroit comprises a six-composition suite commissioned for the 2009 thirtieth anniversary Detroit International Jazz Festival, played in the studio with musicians from composer/arranger Gerald Wilson's Los Angeles home or New York City area. Curiously, there are no Motor City-based players on the disc, but the themes are based in certain locales from the industrial Midwestern City that has fallen on hard economic times but played a pivotal role in the development of Wilson's highly developed skills as a composer, arranger, and bandleader. A quite spirited and energetic music is heard here from the 90-year-old Wilson, whose charm and wit would rival anyone many decades his junior. It's a swinging affair molded in the traditional big-band ...

| | Michael Buble It's Time CD (2005)
Live At The Lighthouse songs
$10.05
Michael Buble's third major US release (including the mostly live COME FLY WITH ME) stays on message--this young Canadian loves the lush, swaying music of his parents' and grandparents' generations. Buble's albums, however, are much more than mere back-in-the-day exercises. The production and arranging of David Foster (Celine Dion, Josh Groban) is eclectic in a way that firmly places the tunes at the dawn of the 21st century, and, more importantly, Buble possesses the chops and sense of style to re-imagine the adult-contemporary vocal genre in a distinctive manner. In addition to standards by Gershwin and Porter, Buble embraces a variety of sounds, from Motown ("How Sweet It Is") to bossa nova ("Quando, Quando, Quando" with Nelly Furtado) to the Beatles ("Can't Buy Me Love" with a "She Loves You" tag). With his ...

Live At The Lighthouse CD music

That Bow Wow had dropped the diminutive "Lil" from his moniker was old news by the release of WANTED, his fourth album. WANTED was released shortly after the rapper's 18th birthday, but if there were any questions about the legitimacy of his maturity and worldliness, the song "Big Dreams" should put them to rest. The song's narrative about the ever-present pitfalls of life in the 'hood is brought to life by the searing authority in Bow Wow's voice.

BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR THE NEW MIX CD ; "LOVE BY FEW , HATED BY MANY" COMING SOON ! LIL DRAMA One wonders with as much raw talent and skills as Lil Drama has why the world doesn¢t know his name. That is about to change. Rapping since the age of 11, Lil Drama brings the drama of his life experiences growing up between his mother¢s rural town of Covington Louisiana and his father¢s hometown of New Orleans . The devastation of Katrina forced Lil Drama and his father to relocate temporarily to San Diego , California . Lil Drama¢s first CD came out in 2000, titled Let the game begin, it sold more than 10,000 copies from bumper to bumper sales. This new sophomore effort Street Mentality shows a more seasoned artist. Lil Drama has been cited for his stage presence and the ability to move a crowd. He has performed on the same stage with Bow Wow, Lil Romeo and has worked with DJ Envs. 2005 brought Street Mentality, a hard edged gangsta rap album with a contemporary Hip Hop & Neo Soul edge. Ana Slang is the single just released as a DVD showing Lil Drama¢s talent full blown. Lil Drama has that special something that just needed that certain exposure. Lil Drama has arrived and he is about to be seen. Talented beyond his own imaginings, ...
