The French horn has never been one of jazz's more prominent wind instruments. If cornetist Buddy Bolden was playing what listeners now call jazz as early as 1895, the French horn had suffered at least 105 years of neglect as a jazz instrument when the 21st century arrived. That's regrettable, but it isn't necessarily bad news for French horn player Richard Todd -- the fact that jazz hasn't had nearly as many French horns players as saxophonists or trumpeters means that the instrument is still relatively fertile ground for him. Although Todd is quite capable of playing classical and pop, With a Twist is essentially an album of acoustic-oriented post-bop. This laid-back disc, which was recorded in 1999 and 2001, shows how expressive a soloist he can be. Todd's approach to the French horn is comparable to what Chet Baker did to the trumpet, Stan Getz did to the tenor sax, and Bill Watrous did to the trombone; in other words, he plays his horn in a very lyrical and caressing way. Todd's cool-toned lyricism is something to savor on original material as well as songs that range from "Days of Wine and Roses" to "Emily." Like so many acoustic jazz CDs, With a Twist has its share of standards that have been beaten to death -- "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning" and Thelonious Monk's "'Round Midnight" are among the songs that jazz fans have heard countless times. But because Todd is such an appealing soloist, one is inclined to be forgiving. And to his credit, he also unearths some material that hasn't been overdone. "Race," for example, isn't among Duke Ellington's better-known pieces. All things considered, With a Twist is an likable, if imperfect, CD that Todd can be proud of. ~ Alex Henderson

Ray Davies Kinks Choral Collection CD  (2009)

With A Twist album
CD $14.38  SALE 3 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Orchestral and choral arrangements of rock songs have been a curious subgenre ever since the mid-'60s when Andrew Loog Oldham arranged The Rolling Stones Songbook for syrupy strings, but The Kinks Choral Collection stands apart from the pack for the simple reason that it's not the project of some associate or admirer, but rather chief Kink Ray Davies. His very presence as arranger and lead vocal means The Kinks Choral Collection isn't nearly as stuffy and middlebrow as so many of these orchestral rock albums; he manages to inject some semblance of rock & roll by pushing the songs forward with guitar, and letting the rhythms swing instead of plod. This looseness is the first big surprise of the album. The ...

Dave Brubeck's TIME OUT ranks alongside Miles Davis' KIND OF BLUE as one of the few advanced jazz masterpieces to achieve great commercial success. In fact, the widespread popularity of TIME OUT, with its cool-toned ambience, smooth style, and elements borrowed from classical music, helped make modern jazz a mainstream phenomenon. The ubiquitous "Take Five" may be overplayed, but that doesn't diminish ...

Very Best Of Bert Kaempfert CD  (1995)

With A Twist album
CD $13.69  4.5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Recorded between 1960 and 1967. Includes liner notes by Steve Kolanjian. Digitally remastered by Eliot Goshman (1995, Taragon Studios, Deer Park, New York). Beginning with Louis Armstrong, through Harry James and Bobby Hackett of the Jackie Gleason Orchestra, the trumpet was once a king in pop music. This was true even in '60s-era easy listening, as demonstrated by the success of Al Hirt, Herb Alpert, and the ultra-shrewd German musician Bert Kaempfert, who probably was as responsible as anyone else in rehabilitating Germany's post-war world image. The Taragon label is re-releasing all of Kaempfert's many albums in an ambitious reissue project. This excellent compilation is the one to have however. As well as being a successful composer ("Strangers in the Night," "Spanish Eyes," "Danke Schon," "L.O.V.E" are all ...

Glenn Miller Time-1965/Great Songs Of The 60'S CD  (2001)

With A Twist music CDs
CD $10.69  5 stars Audio Samples
From four decades or more on, Glenn Miller Time 1965 may seem an unlikely recording project. The year 1965, after all, marked a continuation of the British Invasion in rock & roll music, with the volume and the attitude stepped up several notches amid the success of the Rolling Stones et al., and it was also the year of the folk-rock explosion and dozens of other pop culture phenomena that seem a long way from anything to do with Glenn Miller -- who had been gone just a couple of weeks past 20 years at the time of these recording sessions. But the mid-'60s also saw a less widely publicized but incontestable '40s nostalgia boom among audience members over 40 (remember how popular blockbuster war movies were then, not to mention World War II series such as Combat?). What's more, at the time, the officially sanctioned Glenn Miller Orchestra under Ray McKinley was one of the most heavily booked performing outfits in the world, and as luck had it, trumpet legend Bobby Hackett -- who had played with the Miller ...
