Armchair Apocrypha

CD-Charts > Music > Jazz
by: Andrew Bird

Release Date March 20, 2007
I've had this album for months now and I can't stop listening to it. I love his older work too, but this album is just incredible. Some songs - the ones that start slower like Cataracts and Armchairs - took me a while to get into, but when I finally really listened to them I kept going back to them. The instrumental song at the end of the album is the only one I haven't really been captured by. I can't wait for the next album from Mr. Bird, his talent is overwhelming!

Born 2 Groove

CD-Charts > Music > Jazz
by: Euge Groove

Release Date June 19, 2007
Euge Groove does it again, y'all!!!! By far his best CD ever in my opinion. The smooth jazz genre as a whole has not fallen off at all for the past 5-10 years. It just seems every year, the genre gets better and better. Anyway, my favorite tracks are:

1)-A Summer Night's Dream
2)-Mr. Groove
3)-Cafe Del Sol
6)- Religify
7)-Geez Spot

If these are your favorites too, keep 'em on repeat.

A Thousand Kisses Deep

CD-Charts > Music > Jazz
by: Chris Botti

Release Date September 30, 2003
I ordered Chris Botti's "A Thousand Kisses Deep" on one morning and later decided that I did not want it because of harsh criticism of the cd from a close friend. However, fortunately, when I e-mailed the seller of the cd to let him/her know I had changed my mind and wanted the order cancelled, it had already been shipped. THANK GOODNESS!!!
With a bit of trepidation, I placed the cd in the player I have in my office. I was immediately transfixed, and transported to another world with his sound. I could hardly wait to leave the office so that I could play the cd in my car. WOW!!! What can I say?! Every time I play the cd -no matter what track is playing - I hear something I did not hear previously. In the past, I have listened mostly to the ... Read More:

My Name Is Buddy

CD-Charts > Music > Jazz
by: Ry Cooder

Release Date March 06, 2007
I preordered this CD. I just listen to it for the second time. This is satire at it's most boring. Don't bother with this CD. Ry has done much more interesting stuff, both lyrically and musically. Listen to the samples before you buy. I wish I did. If you like what you hear ignore this and go with your own tastes but for me "yuck!"

Beyond Standard

CD-Charts > Music > Jazz
by: Hiromi

Release Date June 10, 2008
Just when you thought she couldn't get any better, she releases BEYOND STANDARD. It is similar in some ways to her previous CD, but this one is a little more "jazz" and a little less "fusion." I hate to use those terms, but it may be helpful. Anyway, hear for yourself. She is a talent who will be around for a long, long, time. I just wish she would tour more in the USA. We would love it. But as for the CD, do not hesitate to get it.

Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall

CD-Charts > Music > Jazz
by: Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane

Release Date September 27, 2005
This recently discovered gem of an album documents the beautiful interplay of the Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane. These two together sounded so great, so fresh. Not only is this a historic recording, it's a brilliant live performance between two jazz innovators. Anyone with ears can hear how amazing this record is and how truly inspired the musicians were.

Recorded in 1957, this recording has been sitting in the vaults at the Library Of Congress ever since. Why did it take them this long to put out?

The band is just smoking! Monk on piano, Coltrane on tenor saxophone, Shadow Wilson on drums, and Ahmed Abdul-Malik on bass. This is probably one of Monk's best quartets right next to his famous 60s quartet with Charlie Rouse, ... Read More:

Dreamland

CD-Charts > Music > Jazz
by: Madeleine Peyroux

Release Date October 01, 1996
Sorry folks, but this pretenseful, suposedly silky vocalist doesn't quite do it for me. It all sounds like another nice package with no real substance. It's artificial, and a long way from really good singers past and present.
I promise I've tried!
