For several decades now, Chiaroscuro Records has been a label committed to individual projects by some of traditional jazz's top names, like Lou Donaldson, Gerry Mulligan, and alto saxophonist Phil Woods. Woods is from the old guard, but adds speedy, tremendously creative improvisations and solos to this free-for-all jam helmed by pianist Jesse Green, one of the label's younger artists and an inventive genius of his own. Green's core trio of bassist Frank Hauch and drummer Bruce Cox is surrounded by other legends -- including flügelhornist Patrick Doran, who adds sly, swinging brass energy to "PorpDog" with Woods, Dave Liebman, and Chris Potter. The breakneck pace of "Extreme Sporting" (about Green's passion for skateboarding) is balanced by more graceful romantic gestures like "Waltz for Corinne." Jerry Harris chimes with a class-act vocal on "I've Got You Under My Skin," his voice enhanced harmonically by Green's jumpy ivories and Woods' peppy improv. ~ Jonathan Widran

Purchase Sylvan Treasure CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Dino: The Essential Dean Martin CD (2004)
Sylvan Treasure album
 $10.45    
Nearly a decade after Dean Martin's death, the crooner's fans were finally given the definitive Dino collection. While there was already a two-disc summation of Martin's Capitol recordings, as well as several compilations of his Reprise material, the single-disc, 30-track DINO: THE ESSENTIAL DEAN MARTIN contains a generous selection of the best ...
| | George Benson Greatest Hits Of All CD (2003) Remastered
Sylvan Treasure CD music
$10.19 
Recorded between 1976 & 1998. Includes liner notes by Don Heckman.
Basically, this "greatest hits of all" is simply that: the highest-charting tracks in George Benson's long career -- highest-charting pop and adult contemporary tracks, that is. Benson had been on the scene over a decade before signing with Warner Bros., and many of his jukebox and R&B hits were recorded for Creed Taylor's CTI label. Some of Benson's recorded work that held those hits has been reissued in the past two years. Of the Warner material, they have gauged success by chart placement -- not sales, not radio play, not artist choice. Therefore, while the stellar tracks from Breezin', namely "This Masquerade," which charted at number one on pop and R&B in Billboard, and its follow-up, the album's title track, kick the album off along with "On ...
| | Madeleine Peyroux Careless Love CD (2004)
Sylvan Treasure music CDs
$14.49 
Madeleine Peyroux's unique blend of jazz and pop was first unveiled on 1996's DREAMLAND, where she sounded like a postmodern heir to the smoky-voiced tradition that ran down from Billie Holiday through the likes of Karen Dalton and Judy Roderick. Though Peyroux made a splash with her debut, she quickly dropped out of the music scene, not to appear again until eight years later with the long-overdue follow-up, CARELESS LOVE.
Here, Peyroux tackles material from a variety of sources; some songs were written expressly for her by such contemporary songsmiths as Jesse Harris (who penned Norah Jones's breakthrough hit, "Don't Know Why"). Perhaps most striking, though, ...
| | Miles Davis Sketches Of Spain CD (1960) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Sylvan Treasure songs
$6.75
The crown jewel of the epic Evans/Davis triptych that began with MILES AHEAD and PORGY AND BESS, SKETCHES OF SPAIN is as emotionally compelling as any performance in the trumpeter's remarkable body of works. Combining as it does the emotional gravity of two cultures--the deep song of flamenco music and the rich lament of the blues--SKETCHES OF SPAIN is a musical hybrid of enormous power and beauty. Gil Evans' immense canvas of orchestral colors inspires some of Davis' most deeply felt solo flights. He paints vast vistas of velvety, shimmering night sounds, and through it all runs the mountainous backbone of Spain's native rhythms and chants.
The centerpiece of SKETCHES OF SPAIN is the Evans/Davis treatment of the second movement of Rodrigo's "Concierto De Aranjuez." Evans' charts engage Davis in a shifting, insistent dialogue, italicizing the trumpeter's subtle variations and timbral ecstasies with magnificent orchestral flourishes. The surreal patina of three flutes and harp, ...
| | Herb Alpert What Now My Love CD (1966) Remastered; Special Edition
Sylvan Treasure album
$9.99
With this album, Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass settle into their hitmaking groove, the once strikingly eclectic elements of Dixieland, pop, rock, and mariachi becoming more smoothly integrated within Alpert's infectious "Ameriachi" blend. They sound more like a band now; along with Alpert's now-indelibly stamped trumpet sound, we can recognize jazzman John Pisano's distinctive rhythm guitar, Lou Pagani's piano, the droll Bob Edmondson's dulcet trombone, etc. Pisano, who debuted as a composer on Going Places, comes up with a memorably whistleable song "So What's New," and the rest of Alpert's songwriting brigade (Ervan ...

| | Bryan Ferry Bride Stripped Bare CD (1978)
Sylvan Treasure music CDs
$15.15
A concept album of sorts, inspired in part by Brian Ferry's highly public breakup with supermodel Jerry Hall, THE BRIDE STRIPPED BARE features songs whose view of romance is, unsurprisingly, a tad bleaker than previous. The singer's persona here is less lounge lizard than the sort of guy ...
