Lady Day: The Many Faces Of Billie Holiday DVD (1991)

Chamber Works

Billie Holiday is one of the most phenomenal and tragic jazz vocalists of all time. The Philadelphia-born star's life was wrought with personal turmoil and numbed (and ultimately destroyed) by drug dependency. Jazz aficionados and novices alike are given an opportunity to see and hear the legendary jazz singer through rare TV and movie footage, commentary from fellow instrumentalists and singers, and narration from Holiday's autobiography, "Lady Sings the Blues," as read by stage and screen star Ruby Dee. ...

Boston Camerata Noel, Noel!: Noels Francais/French Christmas Music (1200-1600) CD (1991)

Chamber Works

$9.55

The Boston Camerata made a number of excellent Christmas albums during the 1970s and 1980s, most of them with period themes: A Medieval Christmas, A Renaissance Christmas, etc. This one focuses on a region rather than a specific musical era, presenting French Christmas music -- both secular and religious -- from a period that spans the years 1200 to 1600. In typical Camerata fashion, Gregorian chants rub shoulders with dance tunes and Marian hymns with bawdy vernacular songs. Many of the compositions come from obscure codices and manuscripts, while others are fragments of works by such well-known figures of the Ars Nova and Renaissance periods as Gilles Binchois, Guillaume Dufay, and the Franco-Flemish master Antoine Brumel. As always, the Camerata's singing is excellent, and the group is accompanied beautifully in the later works by the Boston Shawm and Sacbut Ensemble. Little of the music on this program will sound like "Christmas music" to most people but, for those with a sense of musical adventure, it will make a very fine addition to the holiday repertoire. ~ Rick Anderson Personnel: Anne Azema, Ellen Hargis (soprano); Laurie Monahan (mezzo soprano); John Fleagle (tenor, hurdy-gurdy); William Hite (tenor); ...

John Zorn Bribe CD (1998)

Chamber Works

$13.39

John Zorn's Bribe is a continuation and extension of his album Spillane. Like its predecessor, this album features almost the same lineup of extraordinary NYC improvisers including pianist Anthony Coleman, drummer Bobby Previte, organist Wayne Horvitz, turntablist Christian Marclay, and harpists Zeena Parkins and Carol Emanuel. Unlike the fast-spliced pace of Spillane, which functioned as its own narrative, the music on Bribe is allowed to stretch and develop because it was composed as a background for the dialogue in three 30-minute radio plays by Terry O'Reilly (it was later adapted to a stage production). O'Reilly described his creation as "low art; " along the lines of little respected categories such as pulp fiction and B-movies. Zorn then constructed appropriate music, continually switching styles and filling it with pop references. The overall mood of Bribe is also different from Spillane and much of Zorn's work (excluding Film Works, Vol. 7), in that it maintains a light-hearted approach, weaving music box chimes and carnival sounds into the music. A nicer mood pervades this release, yet given its kaleidoscopic and slightly demented tone, it certainly can't be described as relaxed. Then again, maybe "relaxed" isn't too far off, after all -- perhaps by playing a supporting role to the production's cast instead of driving the concept, the musicians were able to enjoy themselves a little more. ~ Joslyn Layne Composer: John Zorn. Personnel: John Zorn (alto saxophone); John Zorn; Reck (guitar); Dave Hofstra (double bass); Ikue Mori (drums, drum machine); Robert Quine (guitar); Zeena Parkins, Carol Emanuel (harp); Marty Ehrlich (reeds); Jim Staley (trombone); Anthony Coleman (piano); Wayne Horvitz (organ); Bobby Previte ...
