Kinda like it.......kinda don't.......2006-11-03

The best songs to me on here are the first one, "Passed" and the last one "Train Tripping" Passed really has sort of a spooky yet cool and catchy feel to it, and I love the way Vanessa's voice fits in with the mellow sound and the steady yet light drum beats. It stands out to me more than the majority of the tracks here. If it were not for this song, this cd would be almost a total let down to me, and I might have given it a 2 star rating instead of a 3.

She talks more through out the tracks than she sings it seems. That can be irritating if you were looking for more singing from this cd. But I can't knock her to much, since this is the first cd I've ever bought of Daou. That is just her style of music I guess.

I'm not into it that much, but if you really like poetry then you will probably like her style of music according to this cd. Daou has a unique style in that she mixes poetry in her music and sometimes tells a story within a song.

Very impressive.......2004-12-29

I found this cd to be something out of the ordinary. I liked it very much. It really was poetry to music. Beautiful and seductive lyrics. I'm sad that Vanessa is not making music anymore. What a talent.

Dissappointed.......2002-09-11

"Zipless" and "Slow to Burn" were good albums, not great, I like most of the songs on them and and I loved "Make You Love." This one though, it just seemed she and her writers didn't have any good ideas. I mean, the lyrics are good, but the songs just don't have much rhythem, they don't give me that feeling of laying back and smiling like her other ones do. It just seems like they tried to hard. Sorry Vanessa, I think you're very talented but this one just didn't do it for me.

Vanessa Scores Again.......2001-09-14

Why she isn't a huge star baffles me. I can play Vanessa CDs all day some days and just levitate in the coolest, happiest, love-filled space. This CD has a cut or two that are below her usual brilliance, but overall its a smash. Husband Peter - keyboard wizard - and Vanessa continue to meld retro styles with millenial chic ambient downtempo techo chill in a unique and pelvis-grooving manner. Vanessa continues to write about love in all of its carnaland transcendent facets.

It's a logical step from Plutonium Glow, Slow to Burn, and Zipless (how is it that Slow to Burn remains out of print??). I can't wait to hear her latest.

We love ya, goddess.

C'est Tres Chic.......2000-02-12

Luv this album. Makes me feel sad, makes me feel trippy, makes me feel sensual, makes me feel intellectual. Vanessa Daou has created a masterpiece of "acid" jazz (some purists might place in other categories such as ambient, trip-hop, etc.). You fall in love with its ambiance from the first time that you listen to it. I certainly did...

This CD pairs two unusual Coltrane sessions made when Elvin Jones was absent from the saxophonist's quartet. His replacement on both occasions was the estimable Roy Haynes. A superb drummer who had worked regularly in the preceding years with Charlie Parker, Bud Powell, and Thelonious Monk, Haynes brought his own distinctive touch to the quartet's chemistry, an almost lacy dance around the beat and a lighter touch than Jones's powerful polyrhythms. The 1963 session produced "After the Rain," one of Coltrane's most majestic invocations, and "Dear Old Stockholm," the folk tune first recorded by Stan Getz. Here it receives an extended exploration of its minor mode, capped by a beautiful Coltrane cadenza. The 1965 session finds Coltrane in one of his most tumultuous periods, bringing singular intensity and convoluted invention to "After the Crescent" and "One Down, One Up," and meditative depth to "Dear Lord." --Stuart Broomer

i need help........2007-04-13

Dear God, i can't stop listening to john coltrane albums! i've been on a two week bender now. lost my job. my car was repossessed. yesterday the old lady took off, saying, "you care about that old saxophone player more than you care about me!" and, Lord help me, she was right. "don't let the door hit you in that nasty behind of yours, on the way out," was all that i shouted back, as i cranked up the stereo even louder. the album playing was another of his classic Impulse releases, "dear old stockholm," from sessions made in 1963 and 1965. what a great album, man. the title track, which is first up, had me laughing and dancing, then comes the beautiful "after the rain," and i'm like crying my butt off. but "one down, one up," brings me right back up. all that emotional coltrane energy pouring into my soul, like a drug, baby. i am soooo addicted, it's not funny. "after the crescent" is more fire-music, more of trane's soul served up hot and fresh. and then the last track "Dear Lord," has me weeping like a little child again. such a gorgeous ballad. each note as pretty as a woman's behind. man, i need help! i love this music, but i have to pay the bills, have to do something else besides listening to trane all day and all night. still, with that said, hear i sit, listening to "Like Sonny," and all that i can really think about is what coltrane masterpiece am i going to listen to next?

One of the "safe" Impulse releases. .......2007-03-06

What is it about John Coltrane that sparks such heated arguments one way or the other? I don't know that there's an answer to that, even in light of the simple fact of Jazz being such a complex form of music, and the accountability of personal likes and dislikes when deciding what is palatable. Or maybe it's just that Trane brings out the music critic in everyone, for better or for worse. I can't account for everyone's tastes, I myself like to some degree 95% of Coltrane's immense catalog, (or at least what I've heard!) but "Dear Old Stockholm" is accessible a work as you're gonna get from the master. Minus Elvin Jones on drums (Roy Haynes replaces) the classic crew is present (Tyner and Garrison) and as usual other worldly. 5 no nonsense tracks make up this offering, and it's clearly all killer, no filler. Trane novices may recognize the sweet "After The Rain" and one of my favorite JC tracks, ever, "Dear Lord" from the "Gentle Side Of John Coltrane" release, a greatest hits collection. It's always good to get those original albums though, and "Stockholm" is one of my favorites and a JC Impulse release. Besides the ballads, the bop is evident on the blazing and timeless "One Down, One Up" as Roy drives the quartet as ably as Elvin, no easy task. A well rounded addition to any level of jazz enthusiast's collection, "Dear Old Stockholm" is a perfect slice of the Coltrane pie.

DEAR OLD STOCKHOLM: pushing forward!.......2006-05-20

i know that i am a bit liberal with my stars when it comes to reviewing Coltrane discs, but it's tough to hold back when dealing with this monumental and underheard masterpiece. Dear Old Stockholm has been in almost constant play since i purchased it about one year ago.

when it comes down to deciding which Coltrane cd's to purchase, the proposition can be a bit overwhelming (well....not as overwhelming as say, Miles Davis). there are a range of styles and quite a few different shades of Coltrane's music to be found across his short, but prolific musical career. some may be put off by the sheer power and force of his work towards the end of his days; such albums like Meditations (another five star affair - in my opinion); and the respectable effort of Ascension may be a bit too much for the average jazz fan. but the music on Dear Old Stockholm somehow stradles that line of song/sound and showcases unfathomable depths of beauty, melody, precision, power, passion, and grace. each piece seems to build and swell in that big deep Coltrane sound...his solos stretching out and painting wild and vivid colours on the audio canvas; the bass climing high and then swooping low in a loose, yet grounded fashion, piano notes swinging around and violently crashing with cymbals and snares. the whole band getting scooped up and driven into this sonic vortex of their own creation! yes, it's all that dramatic! but the band never falls into "free" territory where it's just blowing hard for ther sake of blowing hard...every player pushes the limits of the song's melody at times, but it never strays so far that it misses the point. and to me, that's one of the greatest points of Dear Old Stockholm. the fact that the passion and the discipline are shown in evidence as going hand in hand.

those of you who want to find the right balance between Coltrane's early style of melody and fast harmonics and his emotional passion and strength of his later years, should wait to longer and get this superb album. it will be one purchase that you will never regret.

Dear Old Stockholm .......2004-11-22

"One Down, One Up" is an absolutely shattering performance. Coltrane and Co. are dancing brilliantly between form and chaos. Some of Coltrane's later "transcendent" music sounds to my ears a bit squawky and abrasive, but this relies more on vamps, with all of the defiant anti-authoritarianism of free jazz -- think of it as a cross between "My Favorite Things" and "Om." Having not yet been born in the 60s, I use the passion, fury, and exuberance of this recording to channel backward to a frightening but more hopeful time. Every time I listen to this record I come away thrilled yet haunted. Thank you, John Coltrane!

Strong Set From a Busy Year!.......2000-12-23

Though I can't list any of these tracks among my favorite Coltrane performances. Its an important look at what the Quartet would have been without Jones. Dear Lord and After the rain are standouts, while One Up.. and After the Cresent are avant garde blowing tunes.
