Coming clean up with a breath of new air.......2007-01-01
Right off the bat, he once again digs his digits into an axe and whacks out a fabulous phantasmagoria of slide guitar, blues-y licks, and lascivious vocal warnings, all woven around his fable of the delicious but dangerous Fata Morgana.
"Her icy stare, her mournful air can hypnotize all sailors
Who now full fathom five doth lie beneath her coral jailer
As cruel Morgana seals your fate just when you've come to nail her"
Fata Morgana sails into the melodic harbor of "Junker and the Jewess," and "Vampire Circus" with its enticing Pied Pipes of orgasmic little kisses blown from the strings with which only Gary has privilege at his sorcerous fingers. Shipwrecked evermore. Shipwrecked evermore.
"Under My Wing" flies to a secluded little jazz pub somewhere in the solar system where time retards the heart while the ears absorb this tale of woe. And whoa, how the brushstrokes glide over a thousand canvases all morphed into Gary's deep, mosaic voice. From the outset, this song makes me wonder where the stripper poles are concealed. And around where I wrap my fingers for the best grip. I dare not let go. I wish to fill the void under that wing.
One of the crowning songs (well, aren't they all) from Gary's very first solo album "Skeleton at the Feast" is Bernard Herrmann's "Psycho." Here, we once again visit Norman and `mother' but with drums and bass. It's as if Gary's band, Gods and Monsters, are personally feeding me plump little drops of adrenaline while embracing my body playfully on the edge of a cliff.
"Mojo Pin" is `the' one and only "Mojo Pin" from the irrefutable genius of Gary Lucas and Jeff Buckley. Before knowing anything about the version on this album, the haunting voice staring out from the grooves stopped me dead in my tracks. For a moment, I thought the serenader was a very nascent Jeff Buckley, as though he may have sounded in the 1980s, but of course, the luminous collaboration with Gary had not yet been born. Upon further investigation, the owner of the sweet vocal chords turned out to that of Michael Schoen, a name perhaps not known at the moment by many but one whose talent refuses to lie dormant. But "Mojo Pin" isn't merely an imitation of the original. Michael sings his own version and Gary's guitar purrs as if the tune were gloriously composed only yesterday; both Michael and Gary approach the song with a fresh, courageous soul.
The rest of the gems are there for the taking. That is, if you dare to progress beyond the mundane borders of the little dividers in your local record store chain. I'm crawling back under the wing of Gary's axe, which always provides an avant-garde path to the fantastic.
Like wild horses.......2006-12-23
The CD opens with a bit of imitation clockwork, then "Fata Morgana," a song of warning, of a mysterious femme fatale, enters through charging cymbals and the mad cakewalk of a slide guitar. "Follow" follows with a much more tender view of life and loves. The next few tracks offer solid, fresh songs, but with "Hurly Burly" the CD becomes unmistakeably, uniquely Lucas: charging guitar, complex lyrics you might expect only a tongue-split raven could sing, yet Lucas delivers them as naturally as you and I might chant "Louie Louie." "One Man's Meat," sung by David Johansen in a much more straight ahead style than the pompadour hipster one he used when he sang "Spider Web" on a Lucas CD a while back, is a standout. But I hear the last five tracks---from "Under My Wing" to "Dream of the Wild Horses" as a kind of mini-suite. This begins with the self-struggle of blues, and ends with the open-hearted charge of music running into open freedom. Was it Bukowski who wrote "The Days Run Away Like Wild Horses"? Well, so does this music.
COMING CLEAN: THE REAL THING.......2006-12-10
The lynch-pin and musical shaman of Gods and Monsters is the peripatetic guitarist, song-writer and vocalist, Gary Lucas. His dizzyingly dexterous guitar playing may be difficult to define, although music critic David Fricke, in Rolling Stone recently called him simply "one of the best and most original guitarists in America" (Nov. 2006). After listening to many of Lucas' CDs, both solo and collaborative works, I've come to think of his style as a form of magic realism, the kind of music I wouldn't mind listening to while camping out in some lush dream forest for one hundred years of (psychedelic) solitude, although the music is fine even when you're shoulder to shoulder with the crowd in a steamy nightclub. And like good magic realist literature, Lucas' music is capable of scorching social commentary, while simultaneously puncturing the thin skin of reality and flying us to realms we can otherwise only dream of.
Some of those realms are erotic, for example, in the orgasmic "Skin-Diving." The track features Lucas' gorgeously looping and soaring guitar playing accompanied by the sexy-voiced vocals of Elli Medeiros, who takes it to the limit, indeed; some realms are mythic: "Fata Morgana" is a modern turn on an ancient western legend, tweaked by blazing finger picking that morphs into operatic chords with an Asian influence (for more of that, listen to Lucas' wonderful album of mid-20th century Chinese popular music, The Edge of Heaven).
Fans of the band's art-rock roots will love the satisfyingly abrasive version of "Psycho" and David Johansen's streetwise contribution in "One Man's Meat," backed up with killer alto sax and trombone by Jason Candler and Joe Hendel, respectively. Fans of Jeff Buckley will find the familiar "Mojo Pin" haunting (Lucas wrote the original music), featuring Michael Schoen's beautiful vocals. The last track, "Dream of the Wild Horses," is Lucas' instrumental tribute to Buckley, as full of lyrical yearning and promise as was Jeff himself; the song ends on a droning chord that is a devastating reference to his early passing.
More so than on previous Gods & Monsters albums, the thread running through and tying together Coming Clean is clearly the Blues -- the "realism" part of the magic. The newly introduced electric wail and slide on the title track (previously all acoustic with effects box in an earlier CD, Improve the Shining Hour) is a startling change, yet perfectly appropriate; it puts a whole different spin on Dylan Thomas's lines, "do not go gentle into that good night." Lucas also gets down and dirty in the rock-bluesy rendition of Bruce Springstein's "Ain't Got You," with its driving Bo Diddley-esque (on acid) rhythms and especially the moody "Under My Wing." Yet, there are blues/metal elements also in "Skin Diving" and in gentler form, even in the romantic tone poem, "Evangeline" and in "Land's End," with its soaring vocals by Richard Barone.
Gary Lucas and Gods & Monsters have made New York City their stomping ground for years; but lately they have been touring through Europe (most recently in St. Petersburg, Russia) and receiving rave reviews. This band should have a wider audience in the U.S., and with the release of this powerhouse CD, I have every reason to believe that it will. This is an intense and magical compilation of music---the real thing. Do yourself a favor, and buy it now!
*Coming Clean is available in the U.S., Canada and Japan on Mighty Quinn; on Side Salad/Universal in the UK; in France through Productions Speciales, and will be released in January 2007 in the Benelux through DAWA Music.

Early Pepper.......2006-04-18
This was Pepper Adams's second album under his own leadership, done originally for World Pacific in 1957. From the beginning Adams established himself as a big-boned (for a little guy), forceful baritone sax player, though capable of playing lyrically as well. Those characteristics are on full display here. The opening track, MINOR MISHAP, a medium-up Tommy Flanagan composition, features a handsome and direct Adams solo. Trumpeter Lee Katzman is very much in the Fats Navarro mold (open horn, clear tone, great phrasing), though on HIGH STEP he plays at times with a sparseness reminiscent of Miles Davis.
The highlight of this excellent CD is ZEC, a Thad Jones number taken at a fiery tempo that gives everyone a chance to shine, though pianist Jimmy Rowles is particularly inventive here. Doug Watkins and Mel Lewis round out the rhythm section: Watkins is given some very interesting solo spots, mainly on BLACKOUT BLUES and the bonus track FOUR FUNKY PEOPLE; his presence is felt to great effect throughout on the first mentioned tune. This is a solid mainstream-modern jazz outing featuring established (though at the time still young: Adams had just won Down Beat's New Star award) players at their best.

From the Executive Producer..........2007-06-28
If they did, you would be able to sample what terrific playing Milcho laid down. Milcho considers this one of the best recordings he has made from a personal and artistic point of view. All the wit, intelligence, passion, and virtuosity that are the hallmarks of his playing are on full display. The recording quality is extremely high as well: There are times when Milcho plays directly on the strings inside the piano and all sorts of subtleties of harmonics and dampening are captured.
The selection of tunes ranges from light and gregarious to serious and tender. They also include compositions that have never been recorded before as well as new interpretations of some of the better known big band charts.
Anyone at all interested in either Don Ellis or Milcho Leviev should definitely give this a try. Yes, I know it's a solo piano, not a big band, and that most of you looking at this probably would prefer a big band album when considering a Don Ellis recording. If that is the case, you are doing yourselves a disservice. Give it a chance. I think you'll be very pleasantly surprised. Thanks for indulging me.

This 1960 Blue Note session is on CD for the first time. The underrated tenor giant leads his quintet through hard bop originals and one standard.

New liner notes by Donald Elfman. Remastered in 24 bit.Customer Reviews:
Land upstages himself on this unusual disc (featuring great Fontana).......2007-07-26
This recording isn't as satisfying as the Contemporary dates partly because the accompanying cast, while made up of great players, clearly isn't in the same league as Sheldon, Perkins, Butler, and Counce, nor do they sound as tight and rehearsed. Also, the recorded sound lacks the balance and spaciousness of the Contemporary sessions. The bass is boomy (and boring), not always sounding integrated with the rhythm section, and the drums sound quite distant, especially the faint ride cymbal.
As for the tunes, Land's "As You Like It" is an up-tempo, attention-getting opener, though the composer's solo lacks the customary assured fluency. He's heard to better advantage on the ensuing numbers, none of which is especially memorable. (Definitely nothing on the inspired order of the leader's "Landslide," though Martin Banks' "Blue Nellie" is an infectious F minor blues, and the standard "You're My Thrill" is a nice arrangement with notable work by Land in the ballad as well as double-time tempos.)
The session was produced by Leonard Feather, but the audio engineer isn't identified. It's definitely not a Lester Koenig date--possibly Van Gelder--and very likely the bass was boosted by some tone-deaf non-musician for this CD release. The bonus track, a 21-minute "Straight No Chaser," raises it from a three to a 4-star session--with Land taking the first, especially adventurous solo backed by a "dream" rhythm section of Ray Brown (his bass never obtrusive), Ed Thigpen (whose ride cymbal is much more audible), and Tommy Flanagan (the Oscar Peterson Trio minus Oscar). The order of solos is not identified in the liner notes, so here they are: Bobby Bryant follows Land with a smooth and riffing solo, more conservative than Land's; then it's Pete Christlieb's turn, his fuller sound and harmonic virtuosity on tenor giving him away; then it's the unmistable precision of the trombonist's trombonist, Carl Fontana, who practically steals the show with his extended statement, becoming more fiery and dramatic with each note. Now it's Harry Edison, Sweets playing with the cup mute that was integral with his sound, accompanied at first only by Ray Brown's bass, soon joined by Feldman's vibes, next Thigpen's drums, finally by riffing in the ensemble. Now it's Frank Rosolino's pyrotechnics that take center stage, his playing flashier and brassier than Fontana's but not as "clean" and precise. Next is the inimitable Mr. Flanagan, his touch and phrasing a clear identifier, even though the piano sound overall is somewhat squeezed and distorted (it's definitely not the greatest audio, but at least the sound is better "balanced" than the first six tracks). At 20'15" the ensemble takes it out.
It's hard to say whether the closer was an on-location recording in a club or a studio recording with a small, invited audience. If the audio quality were better, this last track alone would elevate "Take Aim" to a five-star disc.

Album Description
Mike Milazzo blends folk, blues, rock and bluegrass music into an original, yet familiar sound. With a dark resonance in his voice, he sings with an honesty that feels like home. There is an urgency in his lyrics and guitar playing that translates into his live performances, as well as his new CD The World Outside. Mike has, in the past, lent his guitar playing and singing talents to bands and singer songwriters such as banjo master Tom Hanway, the Juicemen (heavy alt. rock), the U.S. Hairforce (angular art rock), Dweller (rock and roll), the Boardlords (skate punk--he is still an active member), and Meg Griffin's Trainwreck, featuring pedal steel legend Buddy Cage. Mike Milazzo has had the pleasure of being an opening act for Donovan, Richie Havens, Levon Helm, and Vassar Clements. Milazzo plays most of the instruments on his new recording himself, with the exception of drums, played by Martin Stroh, and guest appearances by Meg Griffin on backing vocals, Joe Meo on clarinet, Stan Hammond on keyboards, and Robin Gager on violin. The end result is a warm and powerful collection of songs. Mike can be seen and heard Thursday evenings at the Sundown Saloon in Greenwich, Connecticut, and in and around the tri-state area.
