Plays The Cole Porter Songbook

CD-Charts > Music > Canadian Music
by: Oscar Peterson

Release Date January 01, 1990
This re-release by Verve preserves, in my opinion, one of the best trio performances. 'In the Still of the Night',
Peterson's subtle single melody nuances and left hand chords are complimented by Ray Brown's wonderful bass. Ed Thigpen maintains the tempo with his stylish brush technique. The rest of the CD is hampered only slightly by the 'volme' inconsistencies from one number to the next, created by the studio. This is a great CD.

Holly Cole

CD-Charts > Music > Canadian Music
by: Holly Cole

Release Date March 13, 2007
Holly Cole in her 9th Studio album, this self titled CD Holly Cole is absolutely stunning.

This is her first studio recording since 2004 and it is more than worth the wait. The album on first listen is both haunting and familiar. Cole has tapped the best sounds of her previous, she parades us through the ranges of her voice and style, she draws us in and tosses us out.

This album classified as Jazz is a mix of all that is good in vocal jazz; rowdy honky-tonk, to smoky smoldering songs that burn your heart.

One of the most stunning tracks is Cole's own 'Larger Than Life' a song that reveals that Cole is not only a student of the Jazz Masters but destined to become one herself.

The Very Best Of (Deluxe Edition)

CD-Charts > Music > Canadian Music
by: Diana Krall

Release Date September 18, 2007
Compilations are always a tricky business. When the task is as simple as putting together songs that reached the top of the charts, it's not too difficult to figure out; but when it comes to putting together an overview of an artist who isn't aimed at the charts, it's quite another story. "The Very Best of Diana Krall" succeeds nonetheless.

Given Diana Krall's reputation as one of our era's most prominent jazz vocalists, and given the fact that she has released quite a lot of studio albums ever since her recording career started in the 90s, there was a lot of ground to cover. "The Very Best" offers a generous serving of Krall's lush jazz sounds; there are fifteen tracks (plus the gorgeous "Narrow daylight" included as a bonus on the ... Read More:

I bought this CD solely based on the fact that I love the cello. I do not pretend to know classical music - I buy what I like to hear, and this CD exceeded my expectations. It is such a pleasure to listen to this disk; it is soothing and every track is worth it!

Yer Favourites

CD-Charts > Music > Canadian Music
by: Tragically Hip

Release Date November 08, 2005
I've been a fan of The Hip since the beginning and I have to say that to date, I've loved every album. As I've always said about listening to The Hip, it takes attention and a few listens to really get excited about the songs. That's not to say that the music isn't fantastic - it certainly is, but after all the fluff that makes it on the radio these days, it's hard for the ears and the brain to sometimes really tune into a good song and "get it".

What makes The Hip special is that it is always about the music. They are not making claims to "Biggest Band in the World", attending parties, lining up music awards or carrying the bling. They work hard and play hard to write and record the best songs they can. They earn the respect of their ... Read More:

An Ancient Muse

CD-Charts > Music > Canadian Music
by: Loreena Mckennitt

Release Date November 21, 2006
I have been waiting for another CD from Loreena McKennitt. And it was well worth the wait.

This CD is just as beautiful and wonderful as all the rest of her CD's have been. She creates moments of bliss and wonderment.

Thanks, Loreena, for another wonderful CD.
