By the late 1950's, alto saxophonist Jackie McLean had shaken off any comparisons to Charlie Parker (or other Parker followers), and had become a distinctive performer in his own right. JACKIE'S BAG, assembled from a couple of 1959 sessions, is a fantastic set of hard bop originals with hints of modality (think Miles Davis from this period) and the avant-garde (think Ornette Coleman, who later recorded with McLean). The original release bolstered by three bonus tunes, BAG is full of surging, moody and ominous-sounding jazz with plenty of wonderful solos from McLean, trumpeter Donald Byrd, and the under-recorded saxophonist Tina Brooks.

Jackie's Bag is split between two different recording sessions: the first, from January 1959, was the first session Jackie McLean ever led for Blue Note, and the second was a sextet date from September 1960 that featured tenor saxophonist Tina Brooks as a co-leader in all but name. According to the liner notes, McLean's first date produced only three songs of releasable quality, all of which are included here. Six tunes were cut at the Brooks session, all of which were issued in Japan as Street Singer and half of which appeared on the original Jackie's Bag LP; the CD reissue includes all six, making it the definitive word on both recording dates. Given the transitional time period of the first and Brooks' musical taste on the second, the music on Jackie's Bag finds McLean in a staunchly hard bop mode, with occasional hints of adventurousness. While McLean's debut performances are certainly well done, the most distinctive appeal of the album lies in the Brooks collaborations. There are exotic flavors to McLean's terrific "Appointment in Ghana" and Brooks' "Isle of Java"; of the newly added bonus tracks, Brooks' "Medina" has a particularly complex and memorable theme, and his "Street Singer" was actually issued on his own Back to the Tracks album as well. Despite crucial contributions from trumpeter Blue Mitchell and drummer Art Taylor, the real focal point of these performances is the complementary interplay between McLean and Brooks, the latter of whom does a nice job of matching the former's legendarily hard-edged tone. McLean devotees will want this anyway, but the quality of the Street Singer material pushes Jackie's Bag far beyond a simple gap-plugging historical release. [Also available with bonus tracks.] ~ Steve Huey

Forever Debts
Paul Schneider Forever Debts CD  (2006)

Jackie's Bag music CDs
CD $10.15
Featuring production on several songs by the inimitable Mike Musmanno (Lilys, Icarus Line), "Forever Debts" delivers on the promise of compelling, intelligent, and well-crafted songs noted by Pitchfork and CMJ on Paul Schneider's debut, "Escape Velocity". Reaching beyond the traditional pop singer/songwriter canon of influences (Elvis Costello, Elliot Smith), "Forever Debts" widens the vocabulary, sourcing inspiration from such disparate wells as Greg Kihn, The Stone Roses, Can, Chavez, Eno, and 20/20. Lyrically, "Forever Debts" deftly explores themes of money, debt, family, and work. All this over a bed of swirling, angular, and inventive hooks. A sophisticated and moving pop experience that is built to last. BIOBio:1970s: Born of unwed Jersey teen. Given to kind but temporarily seedless parents and carried to a McSuburbia in the Mojave desert. Raised by new super-hero sister on Bowie, the Clash and yellowed issues of Cream magazine.1980s: Anesthetized on cocktails and speed by age 14, a disturbed sleep under the influence of the Cure, Husker Du, and Echo & the Bunnymen.1990s: ...

Kite CD  (2009)

Jackie's Bag album
CD $12.69
Kite came together in July of 2008 and released thier groundbreaking self-titled debut less than a year later. Knock out production with soaring guitar crescendos, beautiful harmonies, and explosive drumming create and inspiring experience for the listener and lends credit to past and future genres of rock and roll, reggae, and dance music. Kite's live show is about pure energy, smiles, and creating a collective positive experience for the listener. Who's in the band?Ray Bryant“Le Tigre” : Bass, Vox, Beatbox, BellsEnergy and excitement gave him his name. If you want to dance, hang out on Le Tigre’s side of the stage. A self-proclaimed purveyor of smiles, on a musical journey that will last a lifetime. Come get some!,..In addition to playing electric bass writing many of the original compositions for Kite, Ray is an accomplished upright bass and acoustic guitar player. Past projects include: Acoustic Setting (current), Butterfly Soul & Bryant & Dahl. Ray’s 00’s of acoustic performances always have a twist and most times a shout.Kenny Coulsona.k.a. “Jelle”: Guitar, VoxWhy is he Jelle, it just is. It’s neither good nor bad. Well that can’t always make you happy but it can make you smile when you really think about it. Ken penned many of the original compositions that ended up on the Kite debut.Before Kite, Ken headed up the band Mugdown in and around NYC. Before that, Ken spent 5 years in Europe developing a fond love and healthy fear for the Austrian Alps all the while gathering exposure and ideas for song writing that was to come. Having played a bit in college, he really picked up the electric guitar in 2003, and there was no looking back,. HARI G A N G L B E R G E R Chief Wa-ta-ta-ta: AlienHearing is believing and Hari sure knows how to play that funky music. He grew up in a small, provincial town in Austria.Started playing violin and piano at age 8.

It sounded very different from the local marching and dancing ...
