Aside from the Beatles and perhaps the Beach Boys, no mid-'60s rock group wrote melodies as gorgeous as those of the Zombies. Dominated by Colin Blunstone's breathy vocals, choral backup harmonies, and Rod Argent's shining jazz- and classical-influenced organ and piano, the band sounded utterly unique for its era. Indeed, the Zombies' material – penned by either Argent or guitarist Chris White, with unexpected shifts from major to minor keys – was perhaps too adventurous for the singles market.

Genre: Jazz | Label: ECM

Composer and pianist Carla Bley has been very consistent, if not exactly prolific, for most of her 40 years in jazz. When she and bassist/life partner Steve Swallow hired British saxophonist Andy Sheppard – then one of his country's young lions as both a composer and as a reedman – in 1989, they hired him on and he's been with the group ever since. The recorded evidence was heard on Sheppard's first appearance with Bley on the utterly beguiling Fleur Carnivore, and later on the fine trio recording Songs with Legs in 1995. Drummer Billy Drummond joined the unit as a permanent member in the early part of this century, and on 2004's Lost Chords debut, locked in with a unit that seemed to be evenly weighted all around.

Because legendary bandleader Tommy Dorsey had so many popular hits during the 1930s and '40s, his later work has been, comparatively, ignored or dismissed. But the 70 choice selections here, each one recorded with fine musicianship and in great sound from 1950 to 1953, show that Dorsey was still a formidable trombonist and innovative musician.

Because legendary bandleader Tommy Dorsey had so many popular hits during the 1930s and '40s, his later work has been, comparatively, ignored or dismissed. But the 70 choice selections here, each one recorded with fine musicianship and in great sound from 1950 to 1953, show that Dorsey was still a formidable trombonist and innovative musician. Besides "Opus Number Two" and "T.D.'s Boogie Woogie", swinging follow-ups to past successes, two new versions of Tommy's theme, "I'm Getting' Sentimental Over You," one with a chorus and the other with only the trombone section, piano, and bass (never before on CD); and choice jazz by Dorsey's Clambake Seven, this retrospective includes five complete 10" Decca albums: "Ecstasy: Tommy Dorsey Trombone Solos," "Your Invitation To Dance: Classic Dances in Modern Dance Tempo," "Tenderly: Love Songs in Waltz Time," "In a Sentimental Mood," and "You and The Night and The Music: Tommy Dorsey plays the musical comedy hits of Howard Dietz and Arthur Schwartz." Enhanced by interesting notes, full personnel and recording session information.

This set begins with the most famous song that Glenn Miller ever composed, his theme song “Moonlight Serenade.” The beautiful, romantic and haunting melody is accentuated by the addition of the strings which really give the orchestra a very full and lush ensemble sound.

West Coast Blues, Modern Electric Blues

The Mannish Boys lineup may change, but it is always one of the most solid bands ever put together and this incarceration is no different. Led by the Sugar Ray Rayford and Randy Chortkoff up front, with Kirk Fletcher and Frank Goldwasser as axe men, Willie J. Campbell on bass and Jimi Bott on drums, they are as solid a blues band as one can find anywhere. And then you add the likes of Candye Kane and Laura Chavez, Kim Wilson, Steve Freund, Kid Ramos, Mike Welch, Fred Kaplan and Bob Corritore (among others) and it becomes a blues extravaganza! Randy Chortkoff has steered this band and his label quite well, and this sixth CD for the ‘Boys remains centered in the blues and delivers a powerful punch. It’s stripped down some, but it works well, and maybe even better!

John Cage (1912-1992) was one of the most controversial composers of the 20th century. He is best known for his 1952 work 4'33" which involves not a single note of music being played. This selection of Cage's music provides a rare opportunity to get to know a range of works that were written between the years 1939-65, which were some of the composer's most productive years.

Junko Onishi has long been one of the most popular pianists in Tokyo. Her years backing famed jazz masters in the States along with her vibrant attitude to the music have earned her respect and fans. This new release comes nearly a decade after her last one, 1999’s rock groove outing “Fragile.” This recording is entirely different from that one, with several self-penned numbers, three Eric Dolphy tunes and three standards. Recorded in New York, except for a live medley at Tokyo Blue Note, it is a vital new work that finds Onishi’s forceful playing unbridled. The result is much more of her as the accomplished and powerful musician she truly is.
