 (1 Customer Review)
Adult Contemporary singer Michael Bolton built his career singing passionate, sometimes theatrical soft-pop tunes that made him a superstar in the 1980s and '90s. By the turn of the 2000s, however, Bolton was changing his style, exploring various genres (including opera on '98's MY SECRET PASSION), and refining his vocal approach.
2006's BOLTON SWINGS SINATRA finds the singer taking on songs made famous by the Chairman of the Board, and doing so in a restrained, classy manner that may surprise folks who only remember the singer from his '90s hitmaking days. Bolton swings and croons competently on "Fly Me to the Moon" and "I've Got You Under My Skin," among others, and his surprising duet with Nicollette Sheridan on "The Second Time Around" weighs in as one of the highlights. While Sinatra fanatics may prove a hard sell on this one, BOLTON SWINGS SINATRA is a strong, admirable effort.

Fred Hamilton is a guitarist with a dry but flexible sound who mostly plays introspective and thoughtful material on Looking Back on Tomorrow. On "Too Much, Too Close," he shows that he can cook conventionally in a swinging setting, but most of the other songs are ballads or surprisingly rockish romps. The setting provided by bassist David Friesen and drummer Ed Soph is generally sparse and fits Hamilton's open-minded approach well. Overall this is a thought-provoking set of original music. ~ Scott Yanow

How will Anthony Braxton be regarded 50 years from now, after the polemicists of today are dead and/or no longer interested, when something like an objective and knowledgeable evaluation of his work becomes possible? For all his undeniable brilliance as a composer, Braxton's seeming indifference toward the craft of composition will undermine his reputation to a significant degree. Which might not be fair, actually. Perhaps Braxton's problem is that he suffers from a condition virtually unprecedented in the history of Western art music -- he writes music for a type of musician that does not exist. Braxton writes the most technically demanding music of any composer working in a jazz-related idiom. His written lines are often incredibly difficult to play; their serial-like contours do not fall naturally under the fingers. His rhythms are irregular in the extreme and presumably very elaborately notated. Braxton's music calls for players who can read and interpret the written note in a manner of the very finest classical players, yet who can also improvise in a free jazz vernacular on a very high level. Such players are very rare, to say the least; improvisers rarely read especially well, and good readers rarely improvise, so Braxton is ...
