At The Village Gate Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  Stunning!
If you are a fan of jazz singing, jazz, or pop singing, give yourself a treat and try this album. Chris is one of the best, and this live recording catches her at her finest. To my ear, guitar accompaniment suits her, and this recording features bass, piano, drums, and guitar. The arrangements are gorgeous; first fast, then slow, quiet, then loud, all within one song. The delivery ranges from thoughtful and moody to saucy. Just a very dynamic recording.

At The Village Gate album
 $12.99 
After a quarter century apart, the core line-up of the jazz quartet Return to Forever--Chick Corea, Lenny White, Stanley Clark, and Al Di Meola--reunited for a world tour in 2008. This remarkable concert film captures the foursome on stage at Montreux, playing bewitching renditions of "Vulcan Worlds," "Sorceress," "Romantic Warrior," and many others.
The band was at the forefront of jazz/rock fusion in the 70s and were formed by a former Miles Davis sideman, in this case the great Chick Corea. Return To Forever hit their commercial and artistic peak with a string of albums in the mid-seventies featuring the line-up of Chick Corea on keyboards, Stanley Clarke on ...
| | Christian McBride Kind Of Brown CD (2009)
At The Village Gate CD music
 $14.38  
One might assume that bassist Christian McBride's KIND OF BROWN would be a tribute to Ray Brown. In fact, this music bears a strong resemblance to the late-'60s to mid-'70s Blue Note recordings of the legendary Bobby Hutcherson-Harold Land quintet. A new discovery in vibraphonist Warren Wolf, Jr., teamed with veteran saxophonist Steve Wilson, the wonderful pianist Eric Reed, and drummer Carl Allen makes McBride's quintet Inside Straight one of the more melodically tuneful and harmonically focused contemporary ensembles now playing. McBride is almost an equal in this company, putting aside his furious note playing for a more democratic role in an extraordinarily balanced small combo. The similarities to the Hutcherson-Land group are unmistakable, from the tick-tock rhythm and melodic line similar to Hutch and Herbie Hancock's classic composition "Blow Up" on "Brother Mister" to the ...
| | Freddie Hubbard Without A Song: Live In Europe 1969 CD (2009)
At The Village Gate music CDs
$14.99
Never before available, these 1969 live recordings capture the trumpeter Freddie Hubbard at the height of his formidable powers. Working with a basic quartet including the fine pianist Sir Roland Hanna, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Louis Hayes, Hubbard blasts through seven fiery numbers, including his mentor Dizzy Gillespie's "A Night In Tunisia," Red Garland's "Blues By Five," and a free jazz excursion called "Space Walk." With Ron Carter on board, the virtuosic band bears more than a passing resemblance to Miles Davis's celebrated post-bop quintet active around the same time. The musicians stretch out considerably on these lengthy tracks but they are attuned to one another throughout, and though Hubbard has been criticized ...
| | Jerry Bergonzi Simply Put CD (2009)
At The Village Gate songs
$13.58
Jerry Bergonzi has long been regarded as a top-flight tenor saxophonist among his peers and this session finds him in top form, playing with a seasoned, familiar rhythm section, consisting of pianist Bruce Barth, bassist Dave Santoro, and drummer Andrea Michelutti. Seven of the 10 tracks are originals by the leader, starting with the tense, somewhat dark cooker "Mr. MB," dedicated to the late tenorist Michael Brecker. Bergonzi then switches to soprano for his exotic "Malaga." Further on, "Transphybian" is an unusual blues that doesn't follow the predicted path, while "Crossing the ...

| | Louis Armstrong 16 Most Requested Songs CD (1994)
At The Village Gate album
$10.15
Recorded between 1955 and 1966. Includes liner notes by George Avakian.
Most of the tracks on this collection come from the mid-'50s, when Louis Armstrong was enjoying a boost in his half-century career. Part of his popularity stemmed from the success of "Mack the Knife," which sold more than a million copies and addressed the decidedly un-pop-song-like subject of a natty, stealthy killer. "Dig man--there goes Mack the Knife" Louis cheerfully states at the top.
Between his stinging, swinging trumpet stylings and his unexplainably perfect baritone voice, Armstrong possessed more expressivity than a busload of musicians. He also strode the line between art and entertainment like no one else. Many of the songs here were in his band's repertoire for decades. In addition to "Mack the Knife," highlights include an upbeat "All of Me," the dark and sad hues of "Black & Blue," the raucous "(Back Home Again In) Indiana," and the loose and comical "Back o'Town Blues," wherein other band members vocally chide and egg on their leader. Two charming duets with Velma Middleton are included ...

| | Story Of The Year In The Wake Of Determination CD (2005)
At The Village Gate music CDs
$10.65 
Marsala contemplates the group's achievements on "Five Against the World," and takes on macho posturing with "Jarhead," while "March of the Dead" focuses on societal apathy. Whatever Story of the Year's lyrical message may be, the music is always unapologetically fierce, highlighting the blistering and often intricate guitar lines of Ryan Phillips and Philip Sneed. While many of their peers mine a similar sound, Story of the Year is one of the finest acts in the hardcore-influenced heavy-rock vein, a fact reinforced by this potent album.
On its second full-length studio outing, IN THE WAKE OF DETERMINATION, the St. Louis-based quintet, Story of the Year, follows up on its hugely successful debut by further honing its razor-sharp metalcore. Although ...
