Trumpeter Robin Shier went about recording his hard bop quintet the correct way, after a tour rather than before. Because he wanted to capture his band sounding the way it played in concert, he had the musicians (Patric Caird on tenor, pianist Miles Black, bassist Rick Kilburn and drummer John Nolan) perform the same seven-song set (six of his originals plus "Skylark") four times and then simply chose the best versions to use on the CD. Although none of the musicians possess strikingly original sounds, they are all strong soloists who can swing without using cliches. Shier's compositions may lack any memorable melodies but they seem to light a fire under the players, resulting in some fiery improvisations and fine straightahead music. ~ Scott Yanow

Suburban Groove album
CD $10.49  4 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
On 2005's CHRISTMAS SONGS, Diana Krall applies her sultry vocals and nuanced piano lines to a strong set of holiday classics. In addition to turning in a stirring performance of "The Christmas Song" that would make Nat "King" Cole proud, Krall eases into a swaying version of "Winter Wonderland" and a lush rendition of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." With its dynamic arrangements and pitch-perfect mix of pop and jazz, this album stands alongside ...

Miles Davis Kind Of Blue CD  (1959) Bonus Track; Remastered

Suburban Groove CD music
CD $6.29  4.6 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
With BIRTH OF THE COOL, Miles Davis distilled a new tonal palette for jazz. As early as 1954, Miles reacted to the escalating chordal complexity of hard bop by fashioning an evocative blues based on a simple scalar pattern ("Swing Spring"). KIND OF BLUE was the ultimate fulfillment of this approach, with Miles providing his collaborators little more than outlines for melodies and simple scales for improvisation. By emphasizing the blues and the improvisor's melodic gifts, KIND OF BLUE precipitated a major stylistic development--modal jazz. Charles Mingus had experimented with pedal points throughout the 1950s, and the melodic freedom of Ornette Coleman's Atlantic sides was also predicated on freedom from chord changes. But KIND OF BLUE was to prove the most influential, enduring ...

Incredible Jazz Guitar Of Wes Montgomery CD  (1960) SACD Hybrid

Suburban Groove CD music
CD $15.19  4 stars Top 500
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players. John "Wes" Montgomery taught himself to play at the age of nineteen and created a style as influential to jazz guitar as was Charlie Christian's to an earlier generation. Recorded in the early part of his solo career, THE INCREDIBLE JAZZ GUITAR OF WES MONTGOMERY defined standards for hard bop guitar which are as cogent today as they were in 1960. The album jumps out with the quartet hustling through Sonny Rollins' "Airegin," where Wes performs his often imitated licks with grace and agility. His extended phrases, thematic development, harmonic and melodic embellishment come together in a formidable technique with a heavy swing. An impressive use of octaves and chords coupled with the rejection of a guitar pick in favor of his own thumb allowed Wes' guitar to sing with warmth and with beauty. The lyrical rendition of "Polka Dots And Moonbeams" and his own "D-Natural Blues" are prime examples of the fullness of his lines. To this day, whenever a guitarist uses octaves he runs the risk of comparison to Wes, such was his mastery of this technique. Another aspect of his ...

Feelin' Alright
Mongo Santamaria Feelin' Alright CD  (1970)

Suburban Groove CD music
CD $9.95  Audio Samples
While it fits in with the glut of Top 40 boogaloo efforts that record companies pressured jazz artists to record in the late '60s and early '70s, Mongo Santamaria's Feelin' Alright does offer a more than decent program of covers ranging from Motown to "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida." Santamaria and band spike the even-keeled, groove-heavy parade of horns, Latin percussion, and rolling basslines with tasty trumpet and saxophone solos and manage to recast most of these rock and soul hits as engaging and infectious Latin-a-go-go jams. Like Willie Bobo, Santamaria does a fine job of straddling the fence between soulful interpretation and limp mood music. And though attempts at reforming rock material like Cream's "Sunshine of ...

keyboards, bass, programming); Lee Ritenour (acoustic guitar, keyboards, bass, programming); Rhon Lawrence, Phil Hamilton (guitar); Jochem Van Der Saag (organ programming, background vocals); Barry J. Eastmond (keyboards, programming); Francisco Centeno, Melvin Lee Davis (bass). The Heart of the Man, Pure Pleasure, One Heart, One Love, and My Book of Love -- the titles of Phil Perry's four previous solo recordings from 1991 through 1999 -- say it all about the amazing commitment to romance that defines this singer and his music. When he says, "Love is the only thing that stands the test of time," he's not simply explaining why his focus has always been love songs; his solo artistry is living testament to that truth. Perry's Peak Records debut via the label's association with Concord Records, Magic, takes the flowing passion to new levels while showcasing more than ever his development as a songwriter. One of adult contemporary music's great vocal interpreters, Perry co-wrote eight of the 11 songs on Magic, collaborating with renowned composer/producers like Barry J. Eastmond, Peak Records co-owner Russ Freeman, and Chris Davis. The four Eastmond-produced tracks are the silky, mystical opening title track (which features an exotic Eastern flavor complementing the gentle mid-tempo funk); the dreamy and whimsical "Spirit of Love," a tender story of forgiveness; the optimistic, gospel-tinged "More of Your Sweet Love," on which Perry, fully employing his trademark falsetto, explores the joyful changes wrought by love; and the breezy Brazilian-flavored delight "Perfect Island." Davis produced three tracks -- a hypnotic retro-soul take on the Isley Brothers' warmly familiar "For the ...

Kalkara
Shane Faubert Kalkara CD  (1990)

Suburban Groove music CDs
CD $17.05
In his solo career, Faubert has gotten progressively further away from the garage and retro pop that characterized his stint with the Cheepskates, while retaining some of the flavor that might attract fans of 1960s pop-rock and 1970s power pop to his work. Indeed, there isn't much garage at all on this disc, which is fairly diverse in production and texture, although still rooted more in classic '60s and '70s idioms than later alt-rock ones. There's the slightly psychedelic drone on "I Wanna Hide," and obvious nods to Michael Brown's baroque pop in the Left Banke and Stories on "Lifeline," "Into the Wind," and "Will You Be There Tomorrow." Faubert is one of the most plaintive-sounding singers in 1990s indie pop -- which may or may not be a positive depending on your tastes -- but does make him stand out in a field that's dominated by more aggressive and blatant vocalists. The tone of his writing is most often (although not universally) wistful, verging on melancholy on minor-keyed tunes like "Flow My Tears." It's not a stunning disc, but it's ...
