New York jazz/pop cult heroes Dave's True Story both outlived and transcended the '90s lounge revival through the strength of both David Cantor's witty, urbane, and deceptively deep songwriting, and chanteuse Kelly Flint's bewitching, understated style. Their fourth album, NATURE, is their most polished to date and, ironically, their least jazzy, with Cantor moving toward a more pentatonic pop mode, with any swing-kitsch leanings definitively excised. In other words, it's a perfect entry-point into the rarefied delights of the band's sui generis aesthetic viewpoint.
New York's jazzy pop trio Dave's True Story dims the lights and darkens the grooves on their new CD "Nature," cleverly exploring the topics of love, sleeplessness and global ennui. Lyricist, guitarist Dave Cantor, jazzy chanteuse Kelly Flint, and produce

JazzTimes (p.120) - "Flint and Cantor serve up what might best be described as self-help jazz infused with street-smart cynicism."

Nature
$18.49 SEX WITHOUT BODIES introduces to the world at large a songwriter whose name belongs in the pantheon of greats like Randy Newman, Donald Fagen and Lyle Lovett. Like those writers, David Cantor, the songwriting, guitar-playing, goatee-wearing half of Dave's True Story (could they be the Eurythmics of the Cocktail Nation?) uses pop and jazz forms as a vehicle for literate, highly ironic, darkly humorous observations about the underbelly of the anima. His partner, vocalist Kelly Flint, makes the word into flesh with a cool sense of distance that allows Cantor's biting lyrics to hit their target with maximum efficiency. Flint's style leans toward the jazzy pop tradition of people like Astrud Gilberto, Keely Smith and Julie London.
With unadorned production by ace singer-songwriter Richard Julian and performances by top shelf NYC jazz musicians like Ben Monder, Jeff Berman and Crispin Cioe, Dave's True Story steps to the front of the neo-lounge line, showing up lesser acts like Squirrel Nut Zippers and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. Cantor and Flint's relationship to such groups is roughly that of Nirvana to Bush, and the depth inherent in SEX WITHOUT BODIES ...

Nature
$6.75 Although it took Imogen Heap seven years to follow up her solo debut with 2005's SPEAK FOR YOURSELF, the British vocalist was far from idle during the interim, having formed Frou Frou with producer Guy Sigsworth (Bjork, Seal). While her second album mines a vein similar to Frou Frou's electronica/pop hybrid, it also carries a more sweeping and dynamic singer/songwriter aesthetic. The disc's most notable track is "Hide and Seek," a nearly a cappella tune that was prominently ...
| | Lester Young With The Oscar Peterson Trio. CD (1952) Bonus Track
Nature
$14.29 Recorded in New York, New York in November 1952. Includes liner notes by Douglas Henry Daniels.
It could be argued that the modern saxophonist makes some musical allusion to Lester Young--no matter how remote or indirect--in every solo rendered. On this release (1952), we hear the legendary "President of the saxophone" in great company. One can't get much more polished and refined than the Oscar Peterson Quartet (the album's title is incorrect; we do not hear a trio on this recording).
Indeed, Young is superbly accompanied by Peterson on piano, Barney Kessel on guitar, Ray Brown on bass, and J.C. Heard on drums. Highlights on WITH THE OSCAR PETERSON ...

| | Roky Erickson The Evil One CD (1984)
Nature
$10.59 As the head freak in Texas psychedelic warriors the 13th Floor Elevators, Roky Erickson was a cult hero of '60s rock. Unfortunately, he was derailed early on by a combination of mental illness and substance abuse. After a long, traumatic incarceration, Erickson emerged in the '70s as a solo artist with a sound that was musically more straightforward but just as lyrically twisted, albeit in a new way.
A number of the songs on EVIL ONE are fueled by Erickson's fascination with low-budget horror flicks. It's easy to imagine seeing the titles "Two Headed Dog" and "I Think of Demons" on some 1950s small-town movie marquee. Though Erickson tears into the songs with an almost lunatic ferocity, his musical energy seems purposeful and well directed, buoyed by the straight-ahead garage-punk attack of his band the Aliens. Produced by Stu Cook of Creedence Clearwater Revival fame, EVIL ONE is a focused peek into a world of madness that's both scary and exhilarating.
There are many Roky ...
