Louis Armstrong "Plays W.C. Handy" Album Review
Swingin' and Fun
Swingin' and fun--this is probably Satchmo's finest hour. In the presence of the (elderly and blind) Father of the Blues, the trumpet master exemplifies both the deep feeling and the joy of these magical tunes. Check out "Aunt Hagar's Blues" and especially both versions of "Long Gone"! But make sure you get THIS version, cause the older CD has bastardized renditions replacing some of the original 50's masters, which had been lost. Columbia did a great job in reconstructing the original sound this time, while adding some real nice bonus material from the sessions, which capture the spirit of the day. Very highly recommended for all jazz fans or anyone who loves great music! I seldom give 5 stars-this deserves at least 6!

Swing out Sister "Where Our Love Grows" Album Review
They Deserve Five Stars
Proving that great music still exists, SOS offer this little gem to those of us who have the ear to discern quality musicianship.
Video Swing Out Sister Caipirinha
One of my favourite SOS Instrumentals from their latest Album. I am NEVER disappointed when I hear a Swing Out Sister album, whether I'm hearing it for the first time or the umpteenth. "Where Our Love Grows" is no exception. Each song is melodic in it's own way, drawing from the themes of a few of their previous albums. Most notably represented are the melancholy and edge of "Filth And Dreams" balanced with the sheer beauty and cinematic soundscapes of "Somewhere Deep In The Night." But pervading all is the cosmopolitan cool late 60's/early 70's sound that SOS provides us with, featuring plenty of nods to the genius of Sergio Mendes, Burt Bacharach, Marvin Gaye, and Ennio Morricone without ever giving up a thing of their own originality and vision. The production and arrangements are top-notch, as with any Swing Out Sister project. (NOTE: I also own the import version of this set, which I received as a gift ... and the U.S. version actually has a fuller sound with richer bass.) And then there's Ms. Corinne Drewery, the lovely lead vocalist and co-songwriter. She sounds better than ever on this recording...and that is saying a lot since her voice is always perfection for their music. It really warms my heart to know that music of this type...lush, late 60's-early 70's pop/jazz...is still being made, both artfully and lovingly. If you also feel this way, then "Where Our Love Grows" is a masterpiece that undoubtedly belongs in your collection
