About the Artist
In an industry filled with worn-down repetitive formulas, it's always good when someone is willing to step out of the mainstream and take over. An artist of this Caliber can change the way we think, the way we feel, the way we dance, and even the way we perceive our own culture. Caliba is this type of creative, lyrical genius who will inevitably orchestrate a new era in self-expression and boldly carry Hip Hop to heights unseen.

Bravo Maesto Benoit!.......2005-10-12

"Orchestral Stories" is truly a departure for Mr. Benoit, who has been known as an innovator and leader in the genre of Smooth Jazz. On this album, he displays his considerable talents as a composer, arranger, conductor as well as a pianist. The end result is a wonderfully thoughtful, creative, and memorable album that illustrates Mr. Benoit's incredible musical gifts.

The album begins with three pieces. Written in the wake of the World Trade Center disaster, "9-11" conveys a quiet strength that offers in it a sense of hope and renewal. "Something's Gotta Give" is a bit more tender and bittersweet, with a soul-searching quality. "LAXperience" creates a robust and dramatic mood which far outshines the pylons at LAX (which this piece was intended to characterize). Rather, this piece seems more appropriate to enhance the majesty of a spectacular IMAX film.

The next two compositions were recorded with the Czech National Symphony Orchestra. "The Centaur and The Sphinx", described as "a short fable", is a lovely, magical tale with a poetic grace. "The Party" is a joyful, jaunty piece midway through, and features Mr. Benoit's trademark keyboard work. The story surrounding "Kobe" is both tragic and amazing. The liner notes describe in great detail the story of Ms. Keiko Kimura who lived through the atomic bomb, the Kobe earthquake, and other personal tragedies. The music goes a long way to help tell this remarkable tale.

In "Orchestral Stories", Mr. Benoit redefines himself to his listeners by showcasing his talents and passions previously unheard on his prior albums. I hope his fans will appreciate this very special album as much as I do.

Renaissance Man.......2005-09-14

Orchestral Stories is a much awaited (well, by me, at least) showcase of orchestral compositions written by Benoit in the past few years; it contains 5 pieces, the longest being the final suite "Kobe" which runs shortly under 30 minutes. Orchestral Stories signifies a major departure from Benoit's usual smooth jazz fare, but I guess a better way to put it is that it shows us his compositional talents that we've all grown to love in a brand new light -- a light that we may not be so familiar with or only have had notions of. After all, Benoit frequently finds ways to sneak his lush arrangement prowess into his prolifically successful albums; even the arrangment of his ballad "Dad's Room" off of Professional Dreamer was recognized as being Grammy worthy. The fact is, in addition to Benoit's jazz career, he has also been an active figure in composition and arrangement for soundtracks, musicals, and straight-up classical music.

Should you be excited? As a Benoit fan, I think so! But be forewarned: upon a first listen, you may be surprised to discover Benoit's most complexly arranged pieces to date, as well as some of the most challenging and emotional music he's offered in his career. But, stripping away the surprise, you will find what you've probably heard in his music all along: gorgeous melodies, sheer beauty, rousing drama, and a respect for his pioneering musical forefathers. Along with Pat Metheny's latest offering, The Way Up, Orchestral Stories demonstrates the possibility of crossing over contemporary jazz into the arena of more involved, long form pieces.

Like his semi-suite American Landscape, Benoit's programme here lingers between themes of melancholy and hope; so be prepared for an emotional ride. Benoit's dedication to the victims of 9-11 is, I feel, a healing song plain and simple, that does so effectively by echoing the warm, sentimental overtones of his characteristic compositional style; this opening piece will probably seem the most "Benoit" sounding to listeners. The performance of the orchestra(s) on this album is immaculate as are the soloists, including Benoit on most pieces, and Eric Marienthal wailing on the soprano here. Deeply effectual, 9-11 demonstrates the consideration put into the writing here.

Something's Gotta Give is part of a soliloquy for a musical about Marilyn Monroe, undertoning her despair and sadness; this gentle piece is reminiscent of jazz tinged musicals like Porgy and Bess. By the way, Benoit does his own nod to Gershwin with his rendition of "I Loves You Porgy" on "Great Composers of Jazz." I could only imagine that he's done his reading (and listening) when it comes to this context.

Of course, we're just getting warmed up. LAXperience, an interpretation of LAX architecture and LA's people, is probably the most wholly upbeat piece on this album, featuring a dizzying array of 16th note passages against a backdrop of fierce horns and percussion, and a clustered sonic sensibility reminiscent of 19th and 20th century American composers such as Aaron Copland. Benoit's compositional acrobatics surprised me here as well, as the music takes all the fun complexity he folded into tunes like "Houston" and "Beach Trails" and amplified it about 10 times. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is some very mature composing here.

The lovely "Centaur and The Sphinx" is the first of two multi-part suites on this album, and further demonstrates Benoit's deftness as programmic soundtrack music (as well as some astoundingly virtuosic concerto piano passages by Mister D B himself). The story behind the piece is described in liner notes, a whimsical fable about a Centaur and a Sphinx falling in love. Part 4, "The Party" is notable for bringing in drums and bass and gearing up the orchestra for a really swinging time; the shift is organic and not choppy at all, and the overall effect actually makes you feel like you're at "the party", hors d'ourves and all.

The finale is the magnum opus "Kobe", a thirty minute suite illustrating a Japanese woman's perserverence through tragedy multiple times in her life, and finally gaining the will to live because of her desire to help others the way others have helped her. As you may guess, there are some truly trepidating sections, only to be juxtaposed with rousing and hopeful choruses, as Benoit pulls out all stops and cards, striking up emotion from the orchestra in a profound way. On top of that are koto and shakuhachi soloists, making this piece a blend of traditional Japanese music, Gershwin like themes, and a wide array of orchestral styles. Benoit's advanced musical understandings are subtly wrought out throughout the piece.

Gorgeous, thematic, and meaningful. That's what Orchestral Stories is. I don't expect Benoit to be coming out with another one of these soon, but let's hope that, in addition to his smooth jazz offerings, his name will figure more and more prominently into the music we will hear in movies and theater; he truly is a musical renaissance man.

Amazon.com

Bounty's U.S. debut comes fully loaded with piercing ghetto-reality chants--many of them remixes of Jamaican hits and some featuring American hip-hop artists like Busta Rhymes, Lauryn Hill, and Jeru Da Damaja. Bounty refused the Jamaican Labour Party's craven request to adopt the lead track, "Fed Up," as its campaign song. Instead, the cut became an anthem for Jamaicans' frustration with the litany of empty promises made by both of the country's parties. But beyond politics Bounty is a master of life's various facets, including guns, girls, ganja, and religion. "Benz & the Bimma" works the automobile-female chassis simile much too cleverly to cause anyone offense. Other track titles--"Guns & Roses," "The Lord Is My Light and Salvation," "Mama," "War Face," "Mi Nature," and "Suicide or Murder"--suggest that Bounty's "xperience" is broad indeed. --Elena Oumano

Customer Reviews:

simply put, the best deejay album of the 1990s.......2005-05-31

I have been a reggae fan for 15 years, to me this is the best dancehall album ever released. Bounty took the style of the hardcore dancehall deejay to heights few have matched. He pretty much raised the bar as far as dancehall lyrics in the mid 90's, and he was at the top of his game when he released this.

Good meld of reggae, dancehall, hip-hop.......2001-06-01

This has the potential to be a great record, if just a few tracks were eliminated.

Rodney Price, a.k.a. Bounty Killer, has fused reggae, dancehall and hip-hop pretty well, sprinkling his tracks with guest vocals from some of hip-hop's better artists AND some of reggae's classic wailers.

On "Change Like the Weather," Erick Sermon provides the backdrop for Bounty and the Rasta dragon, Busta Rhymes, to spit over. "Living Dangerously" features Barrington Levy on a dance-happy call-and-response track. The grim "War Face (Ask Fi War)," features Price and Wu-Tang's Raekwon dripping venom all over one of RZA's better tracks. Also, Jeru the Damaja guests on "Suicide or Murder," which borrows both Blahzay Blahzay's "Danger" and Raekwon's "Ice Cream" for its bars.

But the tracks Bounty does alone are also good. "Mama" pleads with staccato horns and a plodding beat, and "Gun Down" shakes and bakes with a classic dancehall rhythm. "Benz & the Bimma" and the title track are also worthy dancehall excursions, pounding away as Mr. Price showcases his baritone rudebwoy vocabulary.

The only problem with this record is too many tracks and not enough ideas. "Hip-Hopera," with the Fugees, stumbles over a bland orchestra beat and Bounty Killer using a falsetto that is downright frightening. "War Beyond the Stars" is a disaster, with the vocals falling out of sync with the right part of the beat, and other songs just seem to run together. Had some of the filler been eliminated the the track number been cut to something like 11 or 12 tracks, this would be a four-to-five star album.

If you are into dancehall or reggae/hip-hop acts, this is still well worth your money.s

A must for all "Ghetto Politicians"........2000-06-22

This is a must for all ghetto politicians out there from the self proclaimed ghetto politician himself.The album also shows Bounty Killer holding his own under hip hop with the Fugees,Busta Rhymmes,Jeru Tha Damaja and Raekwon.It has got a little this and that for everyone.

Nice!!.......2006-11-16

This CD tore me away from all the Trance and all. Absolutely happy and feel-good songs are on this. The best track on this is definetly Elysium with that uplifting and amazing piano melody! Buy it, it's a good CD to get into Happy Hardcore with.

HEY!.......2005-11-24

BUY THIS F***ING CD! IT F***ING ROCKS! YOU CAN ALL SUCK A D*** IF YOU DON'T F***ING LIKE IT!!!

Awesome!.......2005-02-14

The music is awesome! It's not the same kind of stuff you'd hear on a Happy 2b Hardcore CD (Moonshine, [same company]), but it's still great! If you like Happy Hardcore you'll like this CD!

Not Happy, but Hardcore.......2005-02-08

I think someone has to be on mind altering substances to enjoy the happy cheesy hardcore because I don't take them and I find that kind of music to be ridiculous. I like trance, but I've found that most of it isn't fast enough. This is mostly trance with that fast hardcore edge. Other good stuff to check out would be stuff that is done by Hixxy. The Happy 2B Hardcore compilations are pretty good too. Stay away from the "Happy Happy Hardcore" disk though. Its total garbage.

Scott Brown Rox My Sox.......2004-02-26

Ok first off, this is not the cheesecore that most people associate with happy hardcore, this is its evolved form...U.K. Hardcore, some people also call it trancecore and freeform. But his CD has plenty of energy. It has one of the greatest Scott Brown trax ever...Elysium!!! Great song, enough to the buy the whole CD for :) but the other songs are also good, Especially Forever Yours, and Everytime...
Buy this :)
