Special Edition was one of the three ensembles that Jack DeJohnette recorded with. This quartet made its debut with SPECIAL EDITION, a set that's bracing from beginning to end. DeJohnette, who plays drums and piano, is joined by bassist/cellist Peter Warren and two reed players, David Murray on tenor saxophone and bass clarinet and Arthur Blythe on alto saxophone. The two shortest pieces are by John Coltrane ("Central Park West" and "India"), and the remaining three (all nearly nine minutes or longer) are by DeJohnette. His opener, "One for Eric," announces the character of the band in grand style, as they blow in like a parade in honor of Eric Dolphy. "Zoot Suite" takes a look back at the swing era in a way that doesn't sacrifice any of the contemporary world's flourish and flavor.
Recorded at Generation Sound Studios, New York, New York in March 1979.
Personnel: Jack DeJohnette (piano, drums); David Murray (bass clarinet, tenor saxophone); Arthur Blythe (alto saxophone); Peter Warren (bass instrument).
Personnel: Jack DeJohnette (piano, melodica, drums); Arthur Blythe (alto saxophone); David Murray (tenor saxophone, bass clarinet); Peter Warren (bass).

Special Edition
 $14.59 
On Quake, downtown cello boss Erik Friedlander teams up with Japan's fraternal rhythm section the Takeishi brothers (Stomu and Satoshi on bass and drums, respectively) as well as alto saxophonist Andy Laster for a date of intimate, knotty new jazz. In working with an electric bassist in this setting, the opportunities for unique tonalities are everywhere and are exploited to some degree as they were on an earlier work, The Watchman. Over the years, however, Friedlander has become a composer of interesting ensembles and Quake's is no exception. What is so remarkable about the performances on this recording are details such as counterpoint; on the opener, Laster and Stomu have equal opportunities to engage Friedlander and each other for a knotty, ...

$13.39 
On his second album fronting his band Sadawi, trumpeter and composer Paul Brody continues his work in the avant-klezmer trenches, helping to drag that hundred-year-old music kicking and screaming into the 21st century.

Special Edition
 $31.25
In this dazzling epic from Akira Kurosawa, a petty thief named Kagemusha (Tatsuya Nakadai) gets saved from a death sentence because he resembles the warlord Shingen Takeda (also Nakadai). The warlord has been fighting two other leaders for control of 16th-century Japan and impersonators often take his place during battles to put him out of harm's way. Because of Kagemusha's strong physical similarities to the warlord, he's a perfect choice for ...

| | Eddy Arnold Cattle Call/Thereby Hangs A Tale CD (1990) (Import) Germany
Special Edition
$22.05
According to Billboard magazine, Eddy Arnold--not Hank Williams, not George Jones, not Merle Haggard, and not even Garth Brooks-is the top country artist of the modern era. During his lengthy career, Arnold placed 92 (!) singles in country music's Top Ten. Interestingly, though, Arnold today receives short shrift not only from contemporary country fans but also from aficionados of the genre's classic age. Like his contemporaries and fellow giants Marty Robbins and Jim Reeves, Arnold sings too prettily to suit today's styles, which favor the Hank Williams' mournful wail and George Jones' boozy melisma.
Fortunately, German archivists Bear Family Records never let current tastes dictate its output. The label has instead graced the world with this ...
| | Jai Uttal Monkey CD (1992) Bonus Tracks; Japan
Special Edition
$34.69
Jai Uttal followed up his successful debut album with MONKEY, a much jazzier affair. Still steeped in traditional Indian folk music, Uttal experiments with vocals (his own this time, rather than a guest singer), synthesizers, and a smooth-jazz feel. It all comes together beautifully on "I Won't Ask for More," a heartfelt trance dirge that's half-chanted/half-sung to a backing of slinky Indian percussion.
Jai once again serves a superlative collection of Eastern traditions, jazz improvisation and pop innovation. From evocative instruments to striking and emotive vocals, Monkey depicts a truly One World musical vision. Jai Uttal's unique brand of East-West fusion has produced some striking albums. On this 1992 release, his second overall and first with the newly convened Pagan Love Orchestra, Uttal began to solidify his smooth blend of Western pop with Indian music and jazz. His band explores an amiable merger of their dual musical hemispheres with an album-opening sensual romp and then a parade of styles, including uptempo world pop ("The Hooded Serpent," "Govinda"), slower trance tracks ("A Distant Episode"), and Western pop ballads ...

| | Cole B Piano Circus CD (2009)
Special Edition
$11.39
Many artists come from a single background, such as punk, or heavy metal, or pop music. Pianist and composer Cole B comes from a multi-faceted background. He started out playing classical and popular music, and listening to top 40 radio, but has finally decided on a style that is all his own, combining jazz, pop, dance, funk, atonality and minimalism. Cole B enjoys working on his own, knowing all too well how difficult it is to find people who are dedicated and serious about performing in a band. Cole B started life as Bryan Eyberg, in Creston Iowa. He started taking piano lessons when he was 7 years old, and took to the piano very quickly. He learned to play from method books, but soon after starting was playing pieces that he had heard on the radio, as well as easy classics by composers such as Mozart, Bach, and Schubert, and Beethoven. Cole couldn’t even pronounce the names of some of these composers, but loved their music very much. When Cole was in junior high school, he got his first keyboard, an Ensoniq ESQ-1. He began writing his own music, which was a contemporary mix of art music and dance and pop music. His original goal was to move to Los Angeles after graduating from high school, and become a session player in the recording studios of Hollywood. But practicality soon took over, and after entering high school, Cole started to think about going to college and studying classical music. “I was concerned that I wouldn’t make it as a session player in Hollywood, and so I thought if I went to college, I could be a music teacher.” Cole went on to get his Master’s degree in piano performance, but something about classical music just wasn’t fulfilling his needs as a musician. A few years after receiving his Master’s degree in music, Cole’s fiancée and a friend from college began suggesting that Cole write his own music. Once Cole gave it a try, he was really happy, because he was revisiting a childhood dream of playing contemporary music. “I really do love classical music, but I feel that if Beethoven or Chopin were alive today, they would be playing synthesizers and recording their own modern compositions.” Cole’s desire to do something more contemporary was fulfilled. Even before Cole made the switch to modern music, he was starting to experiment with more contemporary sounds. “I was at a gig one night in Boston, at the Mary Baker Eddy Library, and I started playing this piece. I was reading a lot about minimalism and the music of John Cage and Phillip Glass. I loved the idea of minimalism, but thought that Phillip Glass always chose the ugliest harmonies to repeat. So I though, what would it be like to repeat ...
