Lyambiko "Out of this Mood" Album Review

a new super star
Lyambiko is one of the most powerful candidate for superstar of the jazz music with her wonderful voice, amazing singing technic and her stage..''out of this mood'' at least as beautiful as her ''inner sense''....a must to have album..

Oscar Peterson "The Sound of the Trio" Album Review

The best...
Definately the best live recording of a jazz trio. The best verion/performance/recording of "On Green Dolphin Street." Thigpen's drumming is superb, Ray Brown's Bass is equal. But the SOUND QUALITY of this CD is unparrelled.

The Jazz Passengers "Individually Twisted" Album Review

Jazz with a twist
I'd been only mildly grabbed by the Jazz Passengers' previous CD, _In Love_, which is a pile of self-consciously wacky songs sung by an admittedly impressive array of guest stars: Mavis Staples, Jimmy Scott, Bob Dorough, Debbie Harry, Jeff Buckley, &c. It's more listenable than Carla Bley's _Escalator Over the Hill_ & less slick than a Hal Wilner album, but it's still a bit wearyingly offbeat & kaleidoscopic. So I'm extremely pleased that _Individually Twisted_ marks a considerable advance over its precursor. In large part this is because of the full-time recruitment of Debbie Harry, who is stunningly good throughout, on worldly-wise originals like "Porkchop" (a sardonic tirade about self-absorbed, two-timing boyfriends) & "Ole" (with its amusingly virtuosic lyric about Mexico, worthy of comparison with Tom Lehrer's "In Guadalajara"), chilling ballads like "Imitation of a Kiss" & "Angel Eyes" (Harry's reading of the line "Excuse me while I disappear" is devastating), or some entertaining revisitings of material like Neal Hefti's "L'il Darlin'" or the Blondie favourite "The Tide Is High". Elvis Costello pops in for a couple of tracks, including a marvellous duet with Harry on "Doncha Go 'Way Mad" (an instant collector's item, of course, but also, more importantly, one of the best things on the disc). -- The Passengers are in impeccable form, the slightly woozy horns riding the cooled-out sound of Bill Ware's vibes. Rob Thomas on violin is a new recruit (jazz fans will know him as the only violinist to take a solo on Lee Konitz's _Plays French Impressionist Music_), & turns in some nifty work.<p>A really fine album, very much worth checking out. Alas, I don't think Harry's with the Passengers anymore, since Blondie's reformed recently. However, I gather she's still keeping her hand in with the band, since she turns up on Bill Ware's new CD.
