Spinning at 1230pm eastern Review by Judith Schlesinger This is the Stockholm Jazz Orchestra's salute to tango, which demonstrates, once again, that the only boundaries in jazz are theoretical. This is a superb group of musicians, and arranger Carlos Franzetti has managed to evoke the classic, sinuous rhythms of tango with soulful, atmospheric jazz arrangements that suggest a deep admiration for Gil Evans. "La Ultima Curda" is especially reminiscent of Evans' legendary Sketches of Spain collaboration with Miles Davis. While the inclusion of the traditional, accordion-like bandoneon adds authentic flavor and two compositions — the powerful "Revolutionario" and the haunting ballad "Chiquilin de Bachine" — by tango legend Astor Piazzolla are represented, the overall sound is pure big-band jazz. And very good jazz at that: The arrangements move, change, and build, with ever-flowing lines, interesting tempo changes, and a variety of solo textures. The trumpet solos by Argentinian Gustavo Bergalli, which are featured throughout, are superb. Highlights include the above tracks as well as "El Arrastre," "Los Mareados," and "Tango Fatal," all of which convey the teasing mystery of tango expressed through the sophisticated language of jazz. The CD is also very crisply recorded in every blazing detail, using DSD technology. Lush, luscious, and unusual.

Review by Scott Yanow For this fine straightahead trio set, the talented if somewhat obscure pianist Shelly Berg performs five standards and seven originals with bassist Lou Fischer and either Randy Drake or Steve Houghton on drums. The music swings in conventional fashion with the highpoints including "Star Eyes," "How Deep Is the Ocean" and "Here's That Rainy Day."

Folky-blues, acoustic jazz, Philadelphia based Melody Gardot gently stirs the senses with a diverse collection of beautifully poignant songs dripping with strength-filled honesty. followed by: Co-founded in Montreal, Canada in 1992 by guitarist Paul Deslauriers and pianist virtuoso Paul Buonassisi, these boys were deemed by some critics at the time to be "Canada's hottest blues-rock band". After a year of extensive touring in eastern Canada, selling out clubs and woo-ing festival goers everywhere like at the Montreal International Jazz Festival, the band relocated to Vancouver to branch out and create a larger and more diversified fan base.

"Volcano" on the tv. Way too firey, appallingly ludricious, and strangely compelling.

Many years ago I purchased "The Instant Monty Python CD Collection."
I was crestfallen to find that there are practically no track divisions on these CDs. For example, CD #1 features three tracks: Another Monty Python Record, Side 1; Another Monty Python Record, Side 2; and Monty Python's Previous Record, Side 1 (Side 2 being on CD #2). So if you wanted to go to an individual cut, say, the Spam sketch or the Spanish Inquisition, you had to fast-forward. I have threatened, for years, to rip these CDs and chop them all up into proper tracks. Well, I started doing it this weekend, so I am slowly listening to all six CDs. |

Awesome! Pain in the ass to go through to get what you wanted in the first place, but I bet you feel some level of satisfaction in taking something inferior and making it work.
