| Ann-Margret & Al Hirt - Personalities Digipak with 24-page booklet, 15 tracks. Playing time approx. 40 minutes. -- The 'Velvet Lounge' is a remarkable series of re-releases dedicated to music that is always elegant and entertaining - and sometimes even exotic. The series is a comfortable and welcoming home for treasures from the fabulous Fifties and the strange Sixties. It is a mark of quality placed on music we've rediscovered from long ago and far away, from a time and place between Rock and Beat ecstasy and psychedelic populism. -- This newest addition to the Bear Family contains music that comes straight from the archives of both large and small record companies, and is re-mastered to Bear Family's excellent quality, normally as a direct digitalisation of a master-tape but always with the best possible sound. What you hear is what you get, and the listener is tempted in by this music, asked to relax and savour the music, while maybe putting up their feet and slowly stirring a long drink. -- And who you hear is important; the artists' names alone make for a formidable series. Eartha Kitt, 'the most exciting woman in the world' according to Orson Welles, does her purring 'thang' on the album 'St. Louis Blues', alongside legendary West-Coast-trumpeter Milton 'Shorty' Rogers and an extravagantly exciting and highly entertaining blues program. And then on the album 'Personalities' another trumpeter Al 'Jumbo' Hirt dedicates himself to a sort of 'symbolization in sound' of sex-bomb Ann Margret, some twenty years his junior, on songs like My Baby Just Cares For Me or Baby, It's Cold Outside. Despite numerical evidence to the contrary, 'jazz' was not a four letter word back then, and even 'entertainment' did not smell funny, yet. The motto was 'anything goes' rather than 'is that allowed ' This artistic free-for-all and high quality craftsmanship produced songs that had every right to be called 'standards'. Artist-arrangers like Marty Paich or Juan Esquivel, for instance, not only showcased the abilities of some of the best studio musicians of their time, but also the songwriters. -- The 'Velvet Lounge' engages more than the ears, though. You'll need your stomach muscles, at least those involved in extensive laughter. On 'What were they thinking ' an overdue compilation with all kinds of 'odd couples', pleasure becomes a principle and the absurd gets to be ordinary. Country stars meet Exotica heroes or Easy Listening troubadours. Pop crooners like Perry Como are coupled with the Sons Of The Pioneers, and even Lotte Lenya, Kurt Weill's wife, and Bertolt Brecht's favorite mime, gets to share some hilarious studio-time with the sensational Louis Armstrong. -- Because the 'Velvet Lounge' series comes under the Bear Family banner, it is a given that the graphic design is perfectly fitting and fittingly perfect, featuring rare original photographs, exact discographies, and extensive liner notes. Everything about this series has a touch of exuberance and luxury. Everyone from the collecting specialist to the cultural crusader can feel most welcome and at home in this 'Velvet Lounge'. |

Meanwhile, 1962’s wonderfully-titled 'The Colorful Percussions' returns to Lyman’s trademark mixture of popular melody and Polynesian flavor |

| Charlie Rich - It Ain't Gonna Be That Way - The Complete Smash Sessions hick-set and with a shock of silver hair, Charlie Rich always looked like an archetype of country music. When we included his original version of Isaac Hayes and David Porter’s ‘When Something Is Wrong With My Baby’ on the “Take Me To The River” southern soul box set, we were taken to task for it in some quarters, but one listen to that performance and you couldn’t fail to recognise a voice steeped in soul. His love of jazz and R&B and his rich voice proved a hindrance to him finding widespread popular success until he was well into the second decade of his career. Until then he lived off an occasional hit, one of which was the wonderful ‘Mohair Sam’, which kick-started his time working with producer Jerry Kennedy at Mercury Records’ Smash subsidiary. Over his 18 months there he recorded some of the best music of his entire career and in Kennedy found a producer who was willing to give him the freedom to express himself. The 29 tracks he cut are gathered up here – repeating a long deleted US CD release of the material in the early 90s – and reveal an artist who was hugely talented, but also out of place in trying to score pop hits. ‘Mohair Sam’, written by Dallas Frazier, was a slick slice of R&B-influenced pop with a somewhat novelty lyric. It captivated radio stations and their listeners, as Charlie’s performance seems to epitomise the easy swagger of “fast grooving, slow walking, good looking Mohair Sam”, but elsewhere on his Smash material – many tracks written by him – themes seem a lot more grown up, and a lot less happy. ‘I Can’t Go On’ tells the tale of a man whose lover has left him, and it moves from a mournful beginning through to a storming denouement. Charlie wails, almost operatically at times, and it isn’t difficult to hear in this the basis for the arrangement that would be used for Elvis on ‘Suspicious Minds’ some years later. ‘No Home’, with its sparse arrangement of strings, piano, bass and vibraphone, sounds like George Martin arranging for Roy Orbison and is the perfect setting for Charlie’s mournful tale of lost love in which his velvety rich voice is only interrupted by a piano solo of such bluesy intensity that Horace Silver would have been proud of it. Rich released two albums in his time at Smash, both gorgeous ensembles of numbers ranging from his wife’s beautiful song ‘Field Of Yellow Daisies’ to the R&B dancer ‘Party Girl’, where Kennedy’s production creates a perfect setting for the tale of the girl who wouldn’t stay home. This CD is a collection of an artist at the very top of his game. By Dean Rudland (Ace Records |

| Helena Siltala - The Other Side Suomen Äänitearkiston ja Timo Wuoren 1993 julkaisema levy on jälleen saatavana uudelleen julkaisuna. Siltalan persoonallinen laulutyyli on parhainta suomalaista tulkintaa jazz-pohjaisista sävellyksistä. Myös Rolf Kronqvistin yhtyeen tulkinnat levyllä ovat huippuja. Tyypillisesti 1950- ja 1960-lukujen tanssimuusikot olivat sydämeltään jazz-muusikkoja, mutta eivät useinkaan saaneet levyttää rakastamaansa musiikkia. Tälle levylle kootut jazz-kappaleet ovat peräisin Yleisradion radiolähetyksistä 1960-1967 väliseltä ajalta. Ulkomaalaisten levytysten lisäksi radiolähetykset olivatkin niitä harvoja lähteitä, joista suomalaiset kuulivat tuolloin jazz-musiikkia. |

| Howard Roberts Quartet - H.R. Is A Dirty Guitar Player ! HOWARD ROBERTS’ SWINGING JAZZ GUITAR MASTERPIECE FROM ’63! In the pantheon of under-the-radar American guitar heroes, Howard Roberts looms large. A remarkably versatile musician who was one of Los Angeles' most in-demand session players from the early 1950s through the 1970s, Roberts' career encompassed an incredible array of studio assignments. He recorded with a dizzying assortment of acts, including Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, the Beach Boys, the Monkees, Dean Martin, Sonny and Cher, the Jackson 5, Peggy Lee, Eddie Cochran, Chet Atkins and the Electric Prunes. He also played on countless film and television soundtracks; his guitar work is featured prominently in the iconic theme music of The Twilight Zone, The Munsters and I Dream of Jeannie. Roberts was also an accomplished musical educator, co-founding Hollywood's Guitar Institute of Technology, writing a regular instructional column on jazz improvisation for Guitar Player magazine, and penning several highly-regarded guitar instruction books. As a guitar teacher, one of his students was a teenaged Phil Spector, for whom Roberts would later work as a session man. Impressive as his session resume is, for many guitar aficionados, the real highlights of Howard Roberts' body of work are the instrumental albums he released under his own name throughout his career. One of his best-loved solo releases is the memorably titled H.R. Is A Dirty Guitar Player, originally released by Capitol Records in 1963. Recorded at the legendary Studio A in the Capitol Tower, with a band that includes fellow studio legends Chuck Berghofer and Earl Palmer on bass and drums, H.R. Is A Dirty Guitar Player is a potent showcase for Roberts' fluid, swinging guitar work. The material offers ample opportunity for the artist to demonstrate his versatility, encompassing pop standards (Lerner, Loewe"If Ever I Would Leave You"), bossa nova (Antonio Carlos Jobim's "One Note Samba") and jazz (tunes by Herbie Hancock, Count Basie and Duke Ellington), along with such Roberts originals as "Smolderin'," "Turista," "Deep Fry" and "Dirty Old Bossa Nova." Long unavailable in its original form, this vintage instrumental gem has been restored to its original vinyl glory by Sundazed Music. The album has been sourced from the original stereo masters and pressed on 180 gram vinyl, with complete original cover art. |
