| | Caetano Veloso Ce CD Caetano Veloso Discography of CDs
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 with 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..." Ce Review

| | Miles Davis Kind Of Blue CD (1959) Bonus Track; Remastered
Ce CD music
$6.29  
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 ...

Ce album
$10.05
Michael Buble's third major US release (including the mostly live COME FLY WITH ME) stays on message--this young Canadian loves the lush, swaying music of his parents' and grandparents' generations. Buble's albums, however, are much more than mere back-in-the-day exercises. The production and arranging of David Foster (Celine Dion, Josh Groban) is eclectic in a way that firmly places the tunes at the dawn of the 21st century, and, more importantly, Buble possesses the chops and sense of style to re-imagine the adult-contemporary vocal genre in a distinctive manner. In addition to standards by Gershwin and Porter, Buble embraces a variety of sounds, from Motown ("How Sweet It Is") to bossa nova ("Quando, Quando, Quando" with Nelly Furtado) to the Beatles ("Can't Buy Me Love" with a "She Loves You" tag). With his smooth croon and charming persona, Buble ...

| | Universal Sounds Of America CD (1995) (Import) Import
Ce music CDs
$23.65
Universal Sounds of America is one of the early compilations for Great Britain's Soul Jazz label that made a case for a separate imprint that later became Universal Sound. Artists like Pharoah Sanders, drummer Steve Reid and the Master Brotherhood, Byron Morris & Unity Ensemble, David Durrah, New Life Trio, Marcus Belgrave, and last but not least, the Art Ensemble of Chicago and Sun Ra all on the track listing for this set focus, one way or another, on "space being the place." Numerous cuts here employ the word "space" in their titles and one references it directly. Belgrave, Reid, Morris and the Art Ensemble all had titles reissued on the Universal Sound label (and Reid recorded afresh for Soul Jazz). While the focus here is on the diversity of, to borrow a term from the AEC, "Great Black Music Ancient to the Future," it is deeply rooted in '70s out jazz, with only Belgrave and Morris providing deeper, wider visions. Morris' nearly twelve-and-a-half minute "Kitty Bey" replies on modal jazz and Latin rhythms to get his killer track across. Likewise, Sanders uses an electric piano to position himself in space on the gorgeous "Astral Traveling," and Belgrave take nearly ten with his "Space Odyssey," that reflects on funk, electronic abstraction and Detroit soul-jazz to get his rather elegant point across. The rest is all beautifully played and constructed, but the sheer diversity of the sequencing -- ...
