In 2005, ESP combined Sun Ra's notorious Heliocentric Worlds, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 onto a single disc. Then, oddly enough, they re-released it with a different catalog number and cover art in 2006. Given ESP's convoluted release history, you might think this is just another repackaging of the same album -- and it is, except for an easily overlooked detail. The 2005 release reads "Digitally remastered from the original tapes by Conor Murphy" and the 2006 release credits Douglas McGregor with "Digital Restoration." So it's the same music (originally recorded by Richard Alderson), but with a new remastering that does make a difference to attentive ears. The overall sound is just a bit crisper, and the stereo field for Volume 1 has been switched from the 2005 version to that of the 2006 version. The stereo fields for Volume 2 are the same for both versions, but the opposite of the 1998 Get Back version. The stereo field may not matter much (don't say that to a purist), but the remastering really allows for more detail to come through, especially with Ronnie Boykins' arco bass and all the extraneous percussion. These are landmark sessions to be sure, made at the height of Ra's free-est phase in the '60s. As such, they're not for the timid and are in sharp contrast with the band's earlier Chicago sound. But they still stand as major works in the Ra canon, and this new version, Heliocentric Worlds, Vols. 1-2 allows listeners the best opportunity to really hear what Sun Ra's vision was for these albums. ~ Sean Westergaard

Heliocentric Worlds Volumes 1 & 2 CD music
$9.99 With this album, Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass settle into their hitmaking groove, the once strikingly eclectic elements of Dixieland, pop, rock, and mariachi becoming more smoothly integrated within Alpert's infectious "Ameriachi" blend. They sound more like a band now; along with Alpert's now-indelibly stamped trumpet sound, we can recognize jazzman John Pisano's distinctive rhythm ...

Heliocentric Worlds Volumes 1 & 2 CD music
$6.09 Steve Tyrell has attracted enough attention for his two regular albums, A New Standard and Standard Time, that he is almost beyond journalists' usual tack of describing a new singer's voice by who he sounds like; pretty soon, they'll be saying that other singers sound like him. But it remains true that if you have never heard him but you are familiar with Dr. John, your first reaction upon hearing him is likely to be that you are listening to Dr. John. Well, maybe a younger Dr. John, and one whose accent isn't quite as swampy. But the basic elements -- the grit and gravel in the tone, the slurred, deep South phrasing ...

Heliocentric Worlds Volumes 1 & 2 album
$6.05 This is part of Columbia Records' Tony Bennett Master series.
1964's follow-up to the seminal I WANNA BE AROUND, WHO CAN I TURN TO continues the established Bennett tradition of mixing a few choice standards with some little-known songs to delight the cogniscenti plus a show-stopping hit to tie it all together. Deliciously medium-slow versions of "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams" and "Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea" fill the the first category easily. Then there are songs like Cy Coleman and Carolyn Leigh's "I Walk A Little Faster," Fran Landesman and Tommy Wolfæs "Listen, Little Girl," the debut of Bill Evans' "Waltz For Debby" with Gene Lees' lyrics, an excerpt from Mel Torme's CALIFORNIA SUITE--all these serve to mark this release as an unusual one in the Bennett canon. You know the singer agrees, since this ...
