Live From Los Angeles Music Review

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Excellent
Much of Oliver Nelson's creative energy was spent on themed projects (Berlin Dialogue, the Kennedy Legacy) and, some might argue, wasted on TV scores. But in "Live From Los Angeles", Nelson and the boys let it all hang out in a good, old fashioned big band jam session with dueling saxes, driving rhythms and a little bit of yelling and screaming in the backgroound. "Milestones" is the highlight of this album, hitting the ground running and never stopping. A young Tom Scott tears up the floor and Ed Thigpen punches the accents just the way a good big band drummer should. The sparkling quality of this live recording makes you look twice at the liner notes-- yes, it was recorded almost 40 years ago. Go get it before it goes away.

VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)

Live From Los Angeles album

$6.39

This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's "Summer Wine." Somewhat more mysteriously, Rolling Stone Ron Wood also turns up on what sounds dangerously close to a lounge version of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing," but this minor faux pas is redeemed by the Irish folk medley "Joy of Life/Trout in the Bath" which arguably features more full-on Irishness than the Dublin production of RIVERDANCE. There's also a lovely rendition of Neil Young's "Only ...

Sonny Rollins Without A Song (The 9/11 Concert) CD (2005)

Live From Los Angeles CD music

$14.39

Recorded on September 15th, 2001, WITHOUT A SONG is a live recording by jazz icon Sonny Rollins, observing the World Trade Center disaster that occurred just four days prior to the concert. Rollins was one of the few musicians from jazz's golden age still performing with a sense of vitality, and that is especially clear on this recording, which is imbued with the gravity appropriate to the aforementioned tragedy. Yet the proceedings are never overwhelmed by pathos or grief. Instead, Rollins and his five-piece ensemble offer spirited takes on the standards "Where or When" and "A ...

Miles Davis Cellar Door Sessions 1970 CDs (2005) Remastered; Box Set; Special Edition

Live From Los Angeles music CDs

$88.15

Contains previously unreleased material. Some of the recordings on the CELLAR DOOR SESSIONS were originally released in edited form on the 1971 double-LP LIVE EVIL. There is an entire universe contained in this box. Sumptuously packaged and scrupulously annotated, CELLAR DOOR SESSIONS 1970 is a six-disc set that documents Miles Davis's extended residency at the Washington, D.C., club. Davis is backed by a group of genius musicians: keyboardist Keith Jarrett, drummer Jack DeJohnette, bassist Michael Henderson, saxophonist Gary Bartz, percussionist Airto Moreira and guitarist John McLaughlin (who appears only on the last two discs). Together they pioneered an ecstatic fusion of jazz, rock, funk, and abstract sound-painting that established the blueprint for the future of progressive music. Each disc contains a different live set, and while songs are often repeated across the set lists, no two tracks ...

Thelonious Monk At Carnegie Hall CD (2005)

Live From Los Angeles CD music

$13.15

On paper it seems as if such titanic and distinctive musical personalities as Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane might not mix very well, but this stellar set, recorded live at Carnegie Hall in 1957, plays almost like a blissful extended duet between the two (with support from a sensitive yet hard-swinging bassist and drummer). The opener, "Monk's Mood," for example, features the composer/pianist's typically brilliant, idiosyncratic playing, while Coltrane floats over the top in the most lyrical of modes. Monk, in particular, is a master of tension-and-release tunefulness, creating rhythmic and harmonic intricacies that seem to spur Coltrane's saxophone exploration to new heights. The quartet shines on ...

Bill Evans Since We Met CD (1976)

Live From Los Angeles music CDs

$9.45

Recorded live at the Village Vanguard, New York, New York on January 11 & 12, 1974. Originally released on Fantasy (9501). Includes liner notes by Max Gordon. Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (1991, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California). Recorded live at the Village Vanguard in 1974 with Eddie Gomez (bass) and Marty Morell (drums), the performances on SINCE WE MET lack the fire of Evans' seminal 1961 Vanguard dates with Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian. The album does, however, find the later trio ...
