| | Herbie Hancock Monster CD - Import Herbie Hancock Discography of CDs
 (2 Customer Reviews)
The pianist's 1980 jazz-fusion set features performances from such luminaries as the guitarists Carlos Santana and Ray Parker, Jr., and the percussionist Sheila E.
Despite the PR hype about this being Herbie Hancock's first "rock" album, Monster is really another disco album, though more varied in texture, somewhat more subtle in execution, and blessedly rid of those vocoder vocals, though not of the real ones. "Saturday Night," despite the distinctive presence of Carlos Santana, sets the album's dancefloor tone. The rock element is supposedly supplied by Hancock on the newly-developed Clavitar, where, try as he might to articulate like a guitarist, the sound is still that of a mutated synthesizer. Alphonze Mouzon is wasted on drums, and guitarist Wah Wah Watson has a field day on his eponymous specialty. Most annoying (and defining) track -- "Go for It." ~ Richard S. Ginell
Originally released in 1980 and was hailed at the time as his first Rock album, though leaned more towards the then dominant disco sound. The album features Santana. Six tracks in all. Sony. Herbie Hancock Monster Songs | 1. | Saturday Night |

Monster album
 $12.09   
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 therapy--overshadowed her music. Gardot's second album, MY ONE AND ONLY THRILL, dispells ...
| | Gerald Wilson Detroit CD (2009)
Monster 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 visage of Count Basie, Ernie Wilkins, or early Quincy Jones, with Wilson's deft touch for embellishing the blues. Players like trumpeter Sean Jones, son/guitarist Anthony Wilson, ...

| | Michael Buble It's Time CD (2005)
Monster 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 smooth croon and charming persona, Buble is a natural performer, and, for fans of fearlessly romantic and infectiously swinging music, IT'S TIME is a sure bet.

Monster album
$10.65
Don't let the cover fool you. Despite the young baller in the sports car and his scantily clad lady friend, R&B Sessions is filled out with contemporary R&B and neo-soul that'll be more attractive to grownups. Part of Union Square's now-extensive Sessions series (see Breaks Sessions, Funk Sessions, Soul Sessions, Disco Sessions, and '80s Groove Sessions) this two-disc set compiles a number of well-known and lesser-known R&B singles from the past several years. Since it was released in the U.K., there's a slant toward material that went over well in that territory, but this should be no deterrent for non-Brits. ...
