Piece by Piece

CD-Charts > Music > Jazz
by: Katie Melua

Release Date June 06, 2006
I saw that she was compared to Norah Jones and hoped that she would be better than that over-rated singer. Unfortunately, she is worse. The songs lyrics are trite and pretentious. The backing music is so bland and dispirited it hurts. I had to turn the cd off after about track 8. It won't get another listen.

The Ultimate Christmas Collection

CD-Charts > Music > Jazz
by: Brian Setzer Orchestra

Release Date October 07, 2008
The first thing I did when I received this in the mail was pop in the DVD ~ I have been a fan of Setzers since the Stray Cat days and have seen him play a few times. He is an amazing guitarist and knows how to put on one heck of a show, AND it's all captured on this dvd. The musicians behind him follow suit and are equally as gifted. These guys (and dolls) look like they are having the time of their life and it's contagious. The DVD features swingin' holiday favorites, but Setzer also ventures into some of his rockabilly tunes with Bernie Dresel on drums and John Hatton on bass, making for an outstanding trio performance.

This is a must have for your holiday library of music. The fact that you get this great DVD with the ... Read More:

'Round About Midnight

CD-Charts > Music > Jazz
by: Miles Davis

Release Date April 17, 2001
It's really hard to disagree with most of the reviewers; this is Miles at his lyrical and contemplative best, and John Coltrane is really spicing the things up with his rough tenor; contrasting the leader's horn very effectivelly...

And yes, this is the album that has both the magnificent version of Monk's 'Round Midnight and the beautiful and extremely creative version of children song Bye Bye Blackbird! But there is also boppish Ah-Leu-Cha, sentimental and ironic All of You...

Red Garland on piano, Paul Chambers on the bass and Philly Joe Jones on drums are a rhythm section at the same time powerfull and subtle, ideal for supporting and inspiring the horns...

Sousa's Greatest Hits

CD-Charts > Music > Jazz
by: John Philip Sousa, United States Marine Band

Release Date September 07, 1999
Great CD I've read the other reviews and though the sound quality isn't as good as top 40 pop the sound is true to the music and that can't be beat. These classic American songs remind us of the strong heritage we come from. Just like these melodies that dance through our history, this album is the sound track to that history and it's depth reflects the depth of our history. This a great album anyone who loves our heritage will enjoy.

The Capitol Years

CD-Charts > Music > Jazz
by: Frank Sinatra

Release Date December 13, 1990
The reason I gave this 3 CD Set 4 stars instead of 5? These recordings
were made before 'Stereo' came along. But, the engineers did a great job
of transfering (Re-mastering?) the songs to CD, and they sound very good.
Seventy-five classics by the greatest crooner of the 20th century.
Interested in 'Sinatra in Stereo'? You might also buy "The Reprise
Collection"-- it's ALL in stereo. Buy both-- you'll be glad you did.

This is a brilliant album. Mindi sings a bit more on this album, and I for one love it because she has a sexy singing voice.

Astrud Gilberto's Finest Hour

CD-Charts > Music > Jazz
by: Astrud Gilberto

Release Date May 15, 2001
Astrud Gilberto was the Brazilian Dionysian lark per excellence and the embodiment of the sensuality, lyricism and tropical alluring of the best known Latin American music all over the world. Despite the terrible circumstances that made she left us before the used, she found in Antonio Carlos Jobim the perfect key for her to exhibit her sensitiveness, charisma and unforgettable charm.

This album picks up a very significant part of her musical legacy.
