White Blues

CD-Charts > Music > Instruments
by: Chet Baker

Release Date May 24, 1997
Up until recently I used to have a time on a Monday afternoon where I had to sit down, concentrate and get on with some paper work. This was often my cd of choice. Instead of being in my office at work I was transported to a jazz bar in New York, relaxing and enjoying myself. That was my happy place, to help me get through the paper work. Soon people were asking me if they could borrow this cd because they also found it to be the musical version of someone stroking your head.

Undercurrent

CD-Charts > Music > Instruments
by: Bill Evans, Jim Hall

Release Date August 05, 2002
At the time of writing, my knowledge of jazz is sporadic at best. I am slowly building up my jazz collection, which includes classics from Coltrane, Miles Davis, Mingus, Adderley and others. I think I can safely say, though, that UNDERCURRENT is the current "hot ticket" out of all my jazz discs.

The execution of these tunes couldn't be more minimal - just Evans' piano and Hall's guitar vibing off each other. The results could not be more perfect. Hall picks away effortlessly at his strings, making the guitar murmur softly one moment then chug away rhythmically the next. Evans' piano is lyrical and sublime - I've never heard such charismatic ivory tickling! I was chilling to this disc the other day, nodding my head to this oh-so ... Read More:

Beyond The Missouri Sky

CD-Charts > Music > Instruments
by: Charlie Haden, Pat Metheny

Release Date February 24, 1997
This is one of the most chilled but moving albums ever. It is a perfect antidote to the stresses of existence and is a perfect counterpart to metheny's recent solo album 'one quiet night'. Pat was quoted recently saying that he is searching for something higher. This is it.

One Woman : The Ultimate Collection

CD-Charts > Music > Instruments
by: Diana Ross

Release Date October 18, 1993
Entitled as "The Ultimate Collection" this CD contains a few of the Supremes' big hits as well as some of Diana Ross' very famous recordings. As a little bonus it also includes some new recordings by Miss Ross - worth a mention is her fabulous version of "Your Love". The problem of this collection is the fact that the compilation is a truly funny mixture of songs which somehow really don't reflect Diana's career: Supremes' fans won't be satisfied with what they get and neither will be true Diana fans. The Supremes were more than one woman, more than just Diana and much more than you get from this CD. If you are a Ross fan, better buy her classic albums like "THE BOSS" or "DIANA" they have got more to offer than the many ... Read More:

To me another huge Plus.

Soul Station: Remastered

CD-Charts > Music > Instruments
by: Hank Mobley

Release Date May 03, 1999
This beautfully timed record stands shoulder to shoulder with, "No room for squares," as the classic in Mobley's body of work.
Hank's sweet, soulful sax effortlessly hums along on the operner and,"This I dig of you," accompanied by Chambers bass that just pings. Blakey had perfected his technique at this point and was at the very height of his powers, he works with the rest of the rhythm section like a magnificent steam train.
It all slides along to perfection on the effortlessly classy,"Dig Dis," Mobley's round sax bouncing to the rhythm. When you listen to his playing it all sounds so leisurely, like he never has the need to stretch himself
"Split Feelin," is a rolling bluesy number, again technically flawless. The track dovetails nicely into ... Read More:
