BLUE NILE CD discography Blue Nile albums only come around at an average of about twice every 10 years, so each one is greeted with a wealth of anticipation and reverence. This was no less true for the Scottish trio's fourth album, HIGH. Following the group's chronological line of progression, HIGH is most akin to its predecessor, 1996's PEACE AT LAST. The striking angularity of the band's first two records is supplanted by a more organic sound, with singer/songwriter Paul Buchanan's passionate, soulful voice as the main focus. Blue Nile's trademark lush production style is in evidence, as twinkling keyboards and acoustic guitars provide a starlit background for Buchanan's emotional journeys. More than ever, here the group moves closer to a blue-eyed-soul sound, with Buchanan belting out simple (but never simplistic) romantic lyrics over the kind of mid-tempo programmed beats and velvety synthesizers that wouldn't sound out of place in a slow-jam R&B mix. Live Recording Personnel: Paul Buchanan, Paul Joseph Moore , Robert Bell.

BLUE NILE CD discography THE VERY BEST OF CHRIS BOTTI collects from three of the jazz-pop trumpeter's albums: 1995's FIRST WISH, 1997's MIDNIGHT WITHOUT YOU, and 1999's SLOWING DOWN THE WORLD.

Botti's music also easily crosses over into straight pop territory as "Midnight Without You" and vocal contributions from Jeff Lorber and Edie Brickell, among others, prove. THE VERY BEST is a convenient, stylish sampler of Botti's smooth, likeable jazz-pop Edie Brickell (vocals); Mike Davis (trombone); Andy Snitzer (Wurlitzer piano, Fender ...

BLUE NILE albums After embracing the sounds of modern recording technology with his debut solo album, former Band leader Robbie Roberston decided to slink down to New Orleans for his follow up, STORYVILLE. The sultry sounds of the French Quarter reverberate into a decidedly more cohesive soundscape than Robertson's first release. Although the album loosely follows a story line, the drama doesn't unfold in chronological order (reprogramming the sequencing on your CD player could solve the mystery if one is so ...

BLUE NILE music CDs The trumpeter makes apologies for making albums whose very straightforward melodies owe more to his pop session work with Chaka Khan, Aretha Franklin, and Scritti Politti than the Chet Baker jazz vocabulary he grew up learning. If Botti was aiming for such a seemingly paradoxical blend of open spaces and smoky intimacy on Midnight Without You, he's definitely on the mark. A few of the tracks here -- most notably the snappy blues-based pop tunes "Regroovable" and "The ...
