If Caetano Veloso's 2004 album A FOREIGN SOUND was a smoothly accomplished salute to his influences in the popular music of the northern hemisphere, his 2007 release, CE, is proof that he hasn't lost his cutting edge. Its skeletal sound, co-produced ... Full Descriptionwith his son Moreno, rarely adopts the complex yet soothing rhythms of Veloso's native Bahia, instead laying bare his distinctive lyrics and perfectly nuanced vocals with quirky, rock- and punk-oriented beats and electric guitar.
Songs such as the hushed, "Minhas Lagrimas" and the sophisticated, jazzy "Porque" are the exception here, with the singer exploring a more rock & roll direction on the aptly-named "Rocks," while similarly appropriately blending Caribbean and Brazilian rhythms on "Musa Hybrida." Veloso's lyrics, too, have lost none of their eccentric sting over the years, with "Odeio" and "Um Sonho" both displaying an edgy eroticism, and "Outro" bristling with anger.The Wire (p.63) - "Veloso's voice is, as always, an instrument of singular winsomeness, coloured with regret and yearning..."
Down Beat (p.62) - 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "It's one of his greatest vocal performances ever. alternating between rare tenderness and consonant grit..." Hide DescriptionPurchase Ce CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Fourplay Energy CD (2008)

Ce CD music
$7.49 
With BIRTH OF THE COOL, Miles Davis distilled a new tonal palette for jazz. As early as 1954, Miles reacted to the escalating chordal complexity of hard bop by fashioning an evocative blues based on a simple scalar pattern ("Swing Spring"). KIND OF BLUE was the ultimate fulfillment of this approach, with Miles providing his collaborators little more than outlines for melodies and simple scales for improvisation. By emphasizing the blues and the improvisor's melodic gifts, KIND OF BLUE precipitated a major stylistic development--modal jazz.
Charles Mingus had experimented with pedal points throughout the 1950s, and the melodic freedom of Ornette Coleman's Atlantic sides was also predicated on freedom from chord changes. But KIND OF BLUE was to prove the most influential, enduring work of its kind. There was just such a vibe about these 1959 sessions--Miles' lyric genius and burgeoning stardom, the innovative voicings and rarefied touch of pianist Bill Evans, the electrifying presence of Coltrane and Cannonball--that some thirty-plus years after its initial release, KIND OF BLUE is still recognized as Davis' point of departure towards jazz's less-explored regions.
Bill Evans' translucent chords and Paul Chambers' famous bass line herald the revolution that is "So What": Davis and Evans' taut, coiled lyricism stands in sharp relief to the saxophonists' labyrinthine elation. The fat, shimmering beat of the classic Evans/Chambers/Cobb rhythm ...

$11.89
The excellent jazz and dance-influenced electronica sextet Jazzanova moves in a different direction for 2008's OF ALL THE THINGS. An unabashed soul record, OF ALL THE THINGS eschews the group's usual brand of forward-thinking hybrid instrumentals for vocal features, old-school grooves, and soul-jazz flourishes. Singers Paul Randolph, Leon Ware, and Phonte (from the hip-hop outfit Little Brother) guest, but it's Jazzanova's indisputable skill with sampling, layering, and pristine production that makes the music crackle and gleam with excitement.
