Product Description
Rhian Benson is a new African/British artist with a distinctive mix of R&B/soul, jazz and reggae.

"One of today's brightest new prospectsmold-breaking music straight from the soul' says USA Today; Oprah Magazine calls her 'simply celestial' and Vibe Magazine describes her music as 'a unique blend'.

Singer, songwriter, musician and producer, Rhian Benson has a fascinating story to tell. Born in Ghana, West Africa, she grew up surrounded by music. Her father, from the Ashanti tribe of Ghana- is a guitarist; her mother, from Wales in Great Britain- is a singer and her grandfather led a big band in the '50s and '60s. Rhian took up the piano while a child and has been writing songs and poetry her whole life. Now a resident of Los Angeles, she also lived in India and England while growing up and studied at the London School of Economics and Harvard University.

Gold Coast, her debut album is already receiving critical acclaim from publications as varied as the Los Angeles Times, Performing Songwriter, Honey and Billboard. All songs on Gold Coast were written by Rhian and composed by her on guitar and keyboards. In addition, Rhian co-produced the album along with Grammy Award-winning producers James Poyser (Lauryn Hill, The Roots, Jill Scott) and Bob Power (D'Angelo, Tribe Called Quest, Me' Shell Ndegocello).

5 out of 5 stars Someone Please Put Sade on Notice.......2007-05-01

Nice original works. Rich soulfull voice and great music arrangement go a long way to make this an outstanding piece of work.

5 out of 5 stars SEDUCING!!.......2007-04-27

I first heard the single "How Does It Feel" on the radio and I had an instant attraction to this groove. I soley purchased this album on that single. Upon listening to the full CD I have fell in love with Rhiann. Her music is soothing,the grooves have definite passion and they compliment her soulful words. I am extremely happy with this buy and I urge anyone who loves soulful, jazzy music with a carribean flair purchase this CD.

5 out of 5 stars This is a really good CD.......2006-08-06

I really didn't know what to expect when I purchased this CD, but needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised. This is a REALLY good CD. Ms. Benson is right up there with jill scott, angie stone, bridgette mcwilliams and others. if you like neosoul, sade, vivian green, goapele and others, you'll definitely like this CD. I played it for several friends and EVERYONE asked "who is that?" "it's nice!" This is a very listenable CD, great to play when entertaining folks, or when you just want to sit back relax and enjoy a mojito or two! (smile) Definitely a "go and buy" recommendation.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent chilled out album.......2006-08-01

Great album. I bought it for one particular track and found I liked them all!

5 out of 5 stars Brilliant Golden Coast.......2006-07-03

I read some reviews before listened to the CD,so I didn't have a high expectation,but Rhian gave me a HUGE SURPRISE...I know her voice is different,it's not a shortcoming but an unique feature...When I am tired of a lot of screechy singers, Rhian's voice gives me a deep and great impression...If I must have a selection of favorite one track ,maybe I choose Stealing My Peace of Mind, but in fact I love all of them...

3 out of 5 stars Decent Starter Set for the Hip Hop Novice--.......2006-10-12

If someone is interested in a convenient 2-disc "mixtape" to keep a party going, they can't go wrong with this collection. It is essentially a condensed version of the four-disc "HIP HOP BOX" that Hip-O/Universal released some time ago, which was a chronicling of key hip-hop hits from the humble beginnings of Rapper's Delight (1979) to the vast mainstream success of the early 2000's. Of particular interest are those which fall within Universal's vast back catalog, including such merged and/or defunct labels as MCA, Def Jam, Uptown, Island, Polydor, and more.

Casual or new hip-hop fans will find this compilation satisfactory-- dedicated listeners who are fans of specific artists are best advised to seek out their greatest hits/best of sets (if available).

1 out of 5 stars ?.......2006-05-23

What is this compilation have to do with anything? These are a bunch of essential songs with a few remixes that are already on other CD's! GOLD? Where in the hell is the platinum collection at? I was hoping to fine more rare remixes from the artists listed on this CD, instead of nothing. HIP-O records should be more focused than the efforts of this project. What about the other Eric B & Rakim expanded projects (UNCUT, please,unlike the GOLD album they did for them...) Uptown Records Compilation re-release, Marley Marl's first jams on MCA... who's with me on this? Even better, how about helping with BEP to stop selling out and making quality Hip Hop music again. I suggest some real crate-diggers for the HIP-O staff in the future because this CD is a redicule of hip hop music, and they're not doing jackbone for r&b either! I got one name for that: SWITCH's full-length albums on CD! Hip-O and MCA/Geffen/Universal, if you're not going to at least make up you minds what name to use to lead the company, stop keeping the people waiting for quality products. I will not buy this so-called Hip Hop GOLD CD because it's junk!

5 out of 5 stars Too marvelous for words.......2004-04-15

This A.M. session with Mulligan and Desmond is just too good for words. Each of them plays perfectly, whether soloing, or playing in unison, written or improvised. It's simply two of jazz's greatest saxophone players having a ball playing with each other. We are truly fortunate to have the results of the session to savour over and over. Every tune is a winner, but my personal favorite is "Body and Soul", that although played at a deathly slow tempo, is not for a second boring or trite. Desmond plays quite differently than he did with Brubeck here. The wispy lyricism is replaced with some really gutsy, bluesy playing.

This album is a gem and remains one of my favorites after some 40 years. The playing never gets stale or ages. Do yourself a favor and buy this CD. If you are a true jazz fan, you won't be sorry!

5 out of 5 stars Capital Funkitude.......2006-10-03

I can't even begin to review this. It proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that today's hiphop/rap is garbage. Eric B & Rakim is where it's at.

This could become my favorite album of all time with one more listening.

5 out of 5 stars The Best Compilation of Eric B. and Rakim.......2005-08-21

"Gold" is the best compilation of Eric B. and Rakim hits right now. Other compilations usually omit a song or two, but this album has all the hits on here. Like the other reviewer said, it has the remixes which is a definate plus. Another song I'm happy that is on here is "What's On Your Mind" which was on the House Party 2 soundtrack. It's a great song and I'm glad it's on here. Pick this one up, you won't regret it.

5 out of 5 stars "Eric B is on the cut, no mistakes allowed"!!.......2005-08-17

This here is the "ILLEST" Eric B & Rakim compilation to date. All of there classic hits have been re-mastered for superior sound quality, plus the remixes (not detailed on the trk. listing) make this a must have for all Eric B & Rakim and true Hip-Hop fans alike. I'll detail the the remixed tracks for you; trk.4- "PAID IN FULL" (7 min. of madness-the coldcut remix) 10/10. This is the version used for there classic video and previousley released on "The Platinum Edition". Trk.5- "MY MELODY" (clean orig. version) 10/10. Trk.9- "PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER" (fon force mix) 10/10. This re-mix is off the hook!! Trk.10- "THE R" (remix edit.) 10/10. Off the hook as well! Disc two, trk.1 "LET THE RYTHM HIT'EM" (clean UPSO mix) 9/10. Dope! trk.2- "NO OMEGA" (extended remix) 9/10. Dope, as well. Trk.3 "IN THE GHETTO" (extended mix) 9/10. HOT! Trk.10- "CASUALTIES OF WAR" (radical radio edit.) 8/10.

This cd is a classic cd with nothing but the best!! Some of the best dancehall artists grace this cd, and deliver the best tunes. artists like Beenie Man, Tanya Stephens, Bounty Killer, The dancehall gods Buju and Capleton. There is also a remix of "Girls dem sugar" by Beenie Man, It's a tight remix. I'm telling you, you can't go wrong with this cd. Very good collection of songs and artists!!! Pick it up!

5 out of 5 stars Reggae Gold like no other.........Classic !.......2000-04-17

This cd is a classic reggae cd and poeple who don't know about this series might want to start here. Every year they drop a new one..95, 96,97,etc..and they alwyas have the best cuts out in reggae. This one is no differnt becasue every jam here is tight and I never have to skip this when I play it. Tracks like beenie man and lady saw is tight. These 2 work good together and make this mid-tempo jam a classic. Tanya Stephens lets u know what u can handle on "Yuh Nuh Ready for Dis Yet". Her cd is another good one and I think she has one of the best new voices in reggae right now.(Check her out on Lil kims new one that's about to drop) Beenie rules the rest of this cd with the cut "Romie" and "Girl dem suga". It's worth it for that alone. The other half of this cd is concious /laid back tunes thats just as tight. the best one is "If Jah" with beres Hammond. Talking about why should he be afraid if Jah(God) is on his side. "Put Down the weapon of destruction" is another tight conciuos one with capelton. I could go on about this cd, but the only way for you to know for yourself it to get it. Take my word for it when I say it's worth every cent.

Get it!

5 out of 5 stars amazing.......2000-02-28

The first three tracks are will really get your attention. The slower, more roots/dub/dancehall feel of "If Jah", then the rest takes u on a reggae journey u might not want to leave.

5 out of 5 stars reggae gold 1997.......2000-02-07

This cd gets knuff props from my whole family. I recommend this to any reggae fan all over the world.

1 out of 5 stars Only one reviewer here who actually heard this CD except for "moi".......2007-04-20

Only one reviewer here who actually heard this CD except for "moi" and I heartily concur with his assessment. It's not that the music itself does not rate a 5 star, but that this is just another of the many offerings out there that take music from hither and yon, repackage it and voila, instant sales. If you have a Brubeck collection you probably have all this music elsewhere. And for all you reviewers raving about the Brubeck/Desmond triumph known as "Take Five" this ain't it baby. That album is entitled "Time Out" and it's time for you to take a breath. Thank you Mr. Dlouhy, for reviewing the actual product.

1 out of 5 stars Take Five?.......2007-01-14

This CD is a mixed bag. One tune, called "Eleven Four" is actually "Three to Get Ready", a totally different tune. The liner notes reek, there is no listing of what concerts these selections are from, no bio info to speak of. The audio quality is mediocre. This issue might be historically interesting if one knew where and when the tracks were recorded.
With great Brubeck out there, like the Carnegie Hall concert, there is absolutely no reason to waste money on this tepid rendering.

5 out of 5 stars Take Five.......2001-12-08

I was attending Purdue University from 1961-63 and I was walking throught the Student Union Building and I heard the Sax of Paul Desmond playing Take Five. I walked through the doors into the main lobby which were open and low and behold there large as life and live were the Dave Brubeck Quartet and I just stopped and listened to these muscians.

3 out of 5 stars Paul Desmond Not On It.......2000-06-19

Despite the listing, Paul Desmond is not on the Immortal Concerts CD. The cuts are from Montreux Switzerland, July 22 82, with Dave, Bill Smith, CHris Brubeck and Randy Jones.

5 out of 5 stars Best jazz album ever.......2000-01-20

I first heard this in the late fifties. No one has ever been able to top the drums in Take Five or the sax of Desmond. Every song from Pick Up Sticks to Kathy's Waltz are innovative and lyrical. Brucbeck's piano is so versatile Whenever I want to introduce teens to good music I give them this- in fact, my son who works for Microsoft listens to this in his cube- and if its not playing his coworkers come in and ask him to put it on.

This show and anything related to it - and the ones that follwed in the footsteps of it, are the reason kids today have no morals or respect for authority.
who ever came up with and everyone who had anything to do with getting it put on the air and published, ought to feel ashamed of themselves for their negative contribution to the social degregation of our children, who are now almost grown and ready to live what they learned1

5 out of 5 stars heh heh heh huh huh huh........this friggin RULES!.......2006-02-19

Beavis and Butt-Head changed my life. They taught me that it is o.k. to be completely stupid. I found this at the store for 5 friggin dollars and it is totally worth more than that. The songs are awesome, but the B&B segments are painfully funny. If you come across this, BUY IT!!! STUPIDITY RULES!!!!

5 out of 5 stars BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD CAN STILL PISS OFF MOM!.......2005-10-03

THIS IS A ROCK MASTERPEICE! HEh heh heh heh huh huh. SERIOUS! You can't get this new anymore? What gives? A bunch of great songs are only available on this CD.
Plus its got BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD on it! Why they ever left TV is beyond me. I used to love watching videos with them on Mtv. I think pop culture lived a little in the nineties due to these guys, it's dead again. But we shall remember it HERE with this rockpacked collection of ROCK!
NIRVANA hate myself and want to die, very awesome.
ANTHRAX doing Beastie Boys Looking down the barrel of a gun (rips)
CHER and BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD sing I GOT YOU BABE
AEROSMITH does DEUCES ARE WILD, a very cool outake from their PUMP album. Now don't forget MEGADETH, CHILI PEPPERS, WHITE ZOMBIE (before he was just Rob Zombie) and stuff you may not recognize like JACKYL and if you are younger than 17 you may never heard of RUN DMC.
I bought this thing when I was 10 years old and pissed my mom off immensly, you can find this used. DO THE SAME!

Amazon.com Music Reviews

The rhythm section in question here belonged to Miles Davis in Los Angeles, one fine day in January 1957. Pepper had made a name for himself in Stan Kenton's band, but this was really the first time he found himself in the studio with a rhythm section such as Red Garland, Paul Chambers, and Philly Joe Jones. In his fascinating biography, Straight Life, Pepper tells the story of the date when, after not playing for six months, he was told of the session that morning. He pieced together a broken horn, went in, and blew. Not completely remembering the first tune "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To," he voices a line that both invokes the melody and refashions it. The rest of the session shows just how high Pepper rose to the occasion. It's one of the most important recordings of his career. --Michael Monhart

5 out of 5 stars Essential to the Most Basic Library of Every Saxophonist.......2007-06-04

I can understand a reaction such as the preceding reviewer's. After absorbing Sonny Stitt's logical, fluent, cohesive, structured, text-book solos delivered with as "embodied" a sound as any saxophonist could hope for, I initially experienced some disappointment upon hearing Pepper's more exploratory, fragmented melodic lines. Then I heard him go head to head with Stitt ("The Hollywood Sessions"), and he not only comes close to matching Sonny's technical proficiency but adds a hint of the unpredictable, of genuine risk-taking, that brings a dimension not present in the playing of Stitt, the music's "most perfect saxophonist."

The unmistakable emotion, even passion, that emerges in Pepper's later playing is not as evident on this more conservative 1950s recording. Still, even here Pepper manages to escape the stereotypical "cool" sound with which the West Coast scene was identified, playing with a warmer feel and less detachment and deliberativeness than his Coastal contemporary, Lee Konitz. (Anyone who believes Desmond's playing was emotionally distant, or that it emphasized wit and minimalism at the expense of heat and soul, needs to review his work with the Brubeck Quartet before "Take Five.")

3 out of 5 stars What is so great about this?.......2007-03-07

While it has all of Miles' guys on it, I just don't get what is fab about Art Pepper on this recording. Seems like a bunch of boring wanking. I mean I can listen to Parker or Desmond over and over and get it. But what gives with the 5 stars?

4 out of 5 stars East Coast Hard Bop meets West Coast Cool in 1957.......2005-08-22

I think this is a great record, and all the musicians are in good form. My only wish is that Art had opened up a bit more on the blues numbers. He may have been a bit intimidated by "The Rhythm Section" (who wouldn't be?) and played it safe.
Having said that, I heartily recommend this music to anyone who loves good jazz and especially those interested in the various sub-genres like hard bop vs cool. So, 1 start off for the somwehat conservative solos, but 4 stars ain't bad!

5 out of 5 stars Art Pepper Meets The Rhythm Section.......2005-04-10

This is the classic Art Pepper Meets The Rhythm Section. This album is great as a whole. It is mostly made up of pop and jazz standards, and originals. Done in the mid 50's when jazz was at one of its peaks, the album is a wonderful listen from start to finish.

Art Pepper, saxophonist on the west coast, was basically belonged to the west coast school of players along with Shelly Manne, Victor Feldman, Stan Getz, Conte Candoli, Gerry Mulligan, and Chet Baker. On this recording, Pepper is teamed up with a rhythm section from the east coast, consisting of pianist Red Garland, Paul Chambers on bass, and the fireous drumming of Philly Joe Jones.

This was a neat cut. The playing time is quite heafty, due to the number of tracks, with average playing times of about 4 minutes each. Art's playing isn't up to par as he stated. I believe he hadn't played in a long time prior to the recording of this album. His sound here is brittle, but is improvisations are spectacular.

You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To, is a nice standard with some blues influence. Philly Joe Jones' solo is beautiful as usual. The collaboration between Garland and Pepper results in Red Pepper Blues.

There is extraudinary playing throughout. Art blows through his original Straight Life, and the band's playing is as soulful as can be.

Art was a big fan of Dixieland jazz, as demonstrated on Jazz Me Blues, the old New Orleans standard. The fine Dizzy Gillespie piece Birk Works is a kicker! But the real highlight for me is Tin Tin Deo. This has one of the best "B" sections I have ever heard.

This is the west coast meets the east coast. The east coast musicians were said to be more soulful, as opposed to the mostly white, west coast school. This album prooves it isn't true. Art rips through the pieces and swings throughout. A classic recording! Has been loved by many for years.

Five stars!
Classic Art Pepper!

5 out of 5 stars Awesome.......2005-02-14

Here Art Pepper's saxophone playing is awesome. The musicians backing him up are awesome. The song selection is inspiring. All of these qualities can only add up to an awesome record. My favourite tracks are "Imagination", "Tin Tin Deo" and "Birks Works". A GEM!

    Amazon.com Music Reviews

    By most standards a "little" big-band album, this set carried the bebop canon, such as it was, into the realm of California cool jazz, using Art Pepper's chops on milky tenor and sharp alto saxophones alongside plush arrangements from Marty Paich. There were key links on this session to the Miles Davis nonet's Birth of the Cool a decade earlier, which opened with the same Denzil Best tune. But Pepper offered himself up as a more acidic improviser, jagging solo structures despite the comparative clarity in his tone. Some of the most compelling moments come during Horace Silver's "Opus de Funk," which Pepper spins as an intricate, if not entirely funky, platform for full-band riffing and pinching alto contrasts with the trumpet-driven brass section. There is a continual bowling-over process here, with Pepper overwhelmed by the full colors surrounding him, and then the ensemble likewise startled by Pepper's tart intensity. --Andrew Bartlett
