The Offbeat of Avenues, The Manhattan Transfer.......2007-03-13

This is one of my favorite Manhattan Transfer albums, not their best but one of my favorites.

FANTASTIC CD.......2006-09-03

I have owned this CD since it first came out but somehow it keeps walking off. I'm on my third copy now and will ALWAYS keep a copy of this CD in my collection. When I don't know what I'm in the mood for or what I want to listen to I always end up putting this CD on, it's just that good.

The Transfer's finest.......2004-02-25

This happens to be, in my opinion the greatest CD put out by the Manhattan Transfer.
The Music in the title song has a driving beat that is infectous. I have been looking for a replacement copy of this CD since mine was stolen from my car. If you own this one hold on to it and if you don't own it get yourself a copy any way you can (the person who took my copy did).

Music...thy initials are MT.......2004-01-01

What a CD! THis is just bubbling over with rhythm, beat, originality, excitement and, above all, an incredible musicality that never wavers. Whoever selects the music for this group deserves a medal. Whoever does the transcribing and arranging deserves a knighthood.

The individual members of the group sound like a single unit, as if they could read each other's mind. The sound is nearly perfect. Once again, I find it difficult to select any one piece as outstanding so I'll just say, if you know anything about the MT, this is the album for you.

Another solid MT record.......2003-10-30

Other reviews have hit some highlights, so let's talk trivia here: "World Apart" is a song Janis Siegel co-wrote with David Pack (of the underrated Ambrosia) about love and a life lost. She lost her unborn child during a pregnancy many years back, and this song is about that lost relationship.

"Confide In Me" was penned by Steely Dan's Donald Fagen. It sure sounds a little like Steely Dan, too. Great mid-tempo song - engaging and fun.

All in all, this record is more "pop" in spots (in the arrangements) than most of their other records, but all is forgiven due to their masterful harmonies (as always).

This is a great group to see in live performance, by the way. Don't miss 'em!

Definintive West Coast Jazz 4.5 stars.......2001-10-13

This Marilyn Scott CD along with her debut CD Smile is definitive of the West Coast Smooth Jazz movement which started in the early 90's. The albums usually hook you in the beginning, but tend to lose steam towards the middle tracks, and pick up again. This album in particular stays consitent throughout, and all of the tracks fit well. This lady has one of the few Jazz voices (Janis Siegel, Basia, Kevyn Lettau) that I dont have to listen to before I buy it.

The songs in my opinion that keep me hooked to this CD after 3 years are:

1.)My favorite track, "I Like To Dance" (This song will work at any 35-plus get together, your car on the open highway, or cleaning the house.)
It's light, fun and wont make you sweat out your good clothes

2.)"Starting To Fall" & "Hold You Up" which has a definite Gospel influence, and some quality producing, the mixing much fuller and compliments the warmth of her voice skills much better than her previous albums.

It's very unfortunate that she as such limited notoriety outside of the West Coast because she is up there with the overrated
Diana Krall's and the "up-and-coming" Jane Monheit's of the Jazz vocal world. Give it a listen, you wont be dissapointed.

Listen to "The Last Day.".......1999-08-12

"The Last Day," absolutely wonderful and touching. We need more songs like this.

Listen to the Last Day.......1999-05-20

Just caught "The Last Day" by Marilyn Scott on the local radio and intend on buying the CD. "The Last Day" is a touching, thought-provoking song that nearly brought tears to my eyes. It asks what would you do if this were your last day on earth - and why would you have to only think of these things if it WAS only your last day on earth. In checking out some of her other cuts from the CD, I think this might be someone to slip onto the CD player, grab a glass of Chardonnay, lean back and enjoy.

Smooth Vocals; Relaxing Grooves........1999-02-08

Marilyn Scott has garnered mainstream attention with this album. Adult Contemporary radio stations gave light airplay to her first single "Starting to Fall," a soulful and mildly-upbeat track that showcases Marilyn's effortless vocal style. She can turn a phrase with such beauty and communicated enjoyment that the listener is drawn into a world of warm-blanket, soft-lighting and cup-of-coffee. Her second single, "The Last Day," a more traditional radio ballad, is generating more interest on A/C radio because of the touching melody and spiritual-minded lyric. Overall, a good listen-in-the-background album of smooth jazz with strong pop elements. Her voice is the focus.

Some nice, soothing Jazz vocals to ease your day.......1998-08-21

Marilyn Scott's latest release, "Avenues of Love" presents a balanced mix of songs to enhance almost any mood. The opening tune, which is getting a lot of airplay is catchy and smooth. The "remake" of the vocal standard "The look of love" is rendered in a very listenable way that showcases Ms.Scotts style. There are a couple of tunes that don't quite bring out her best, but that's often the case on many CD's. Overall, I think this is a Jazz vocal CD that warrants a listen and caters to the tastes of jazz/pop fans that enjoy some nice, easy sounds, with a little pizzaz thrown in.

Earlimart is one of those tiny, hard-scrabble agri-oil towns that dot California's sprawling San Joaquin Valley, forming a loose constellation around Bakersfield midway between the band's hometown of Fresno and their adopted artistic Mecca, L.A.'s Silverlake district. This five-track EP showcases Earlimart's continuing evolution from their ragged Fresno roots--and early comparisons with Social Distortion and the Pixies--to the dreamy, down-tempo textures herein. If Earlimart is essentially Aaron Espinoza now, this all-too-brief collection also stands as tribute to his burgeoning side career as a producer. "Color Bars" and "Parking Lots" are hypnotic tracks that seem rooted in John Lennon's Dakota demos, yet fleshed out by Espinoza's deft use of studio colors and dynamics. "Susan's Husband's Gunshop" centers on more uptempo pop hooks, while "Interloper" conjures a dirge of a waltz, and the brief, untitled fourth track revolves around the musician's evocative use of samples and electronics as building blocks. The result sounds like the haunting soundscape to some lost David Lynch film--or a dusty, mysterious town in the great, wide middle of nowhere. --Jerry McCulley

Down the "Avenues".......2004-10-31

In 2003, punkish band Earlimart underwent a radical musical shift -- away from the Pixies, and into the realm of Grandaddy. The five-song EP "Avenues" shows the first glimpses of their new sound: icily symphonic pop with electronic edges.

Achingly swelling strings (dotted by some rather distracting electronic flourishes) open "Color Bars," followed by the fuzzy guitar rock of "Susan's Husband's Gun Shop" and eerie "Interloper." The untitled fourth track is a fun little experimental ditty with church bells and rat-a-tat drums. Finally it ends with the pretty "Parking Lots."

In truth, "Avenues" feels like the lost B-sides of "Everyone Down Here," the first full-length album with this California spacey-pop sound. Not that that's a complaint -- considering the abrupt shift that Aaron Espinoza and Co. were undertaking, it's pretty impressive that it sounds this polished.

Musically we get to see the whole range of what Earlimart can do -- fuzz rock, ethereal pop, and experimental numbers. Pretty piano melodies come up more than once, often paired with marching drums or mellow guitars, and speckled with little waves of electronic sound. Sometimes these sonic flourishes can be annoying, though. Espinoza sounds like he's on heavy tranquilizers, in the tradition of Jason Lytle -- he sings as if he's half locked in a dream.

Earlimart's present sound blossomed from "Avenues." While only five songs long, it's a pleasant display of what the band is able to do.

Nice and short.......2004-10-10

Earlimart has never been very mainstream and for that I am grateful. Avenues is a nice collection of 5 songs that all sound great after one and other. If you're into the sound of these guys, pick it up. Interloper and Untitled are signature tracks.

a 12 minute ep.......2004-02-27

Just what the world needs, another spacey band from Los Angeles. Fortunately Earlimart, named after a migrant worker farm town halfway between Los Angeles and Fresno, goes beyond being just "another spacey band" manging to fill icy cold music about decay and civilization (I'm looking at you Grandaddy) with warmth and compassion. Like Grandaddy, and The Flaming Lips for that matter, Earlimart went from releasing a couple albums as a post-punk experimental art-rock band into an act that can realize quiet, hushed spaces as appropriately as more boisterous ones. Both *Everyone Down Here* (a full-length released later in 2003) and *The Avenues E.P.* were written at the same time, so it makes sense to talk of them together despite the band's ever-changing line-up, apart from frontman Aaron Espinoza, including Patrick Park, the New Folk Implosion's Russ Pollard, and Grandaddy's Jason Lytle and Jim Fairchild.

*The Avenues E.P.* was actually released prior to *Everyone Down Here* (January vs. April), and as mentioned earlier is no sonically different than the full-length. And with the similarities I see between Elliott Smith and Earlimart, you'd think "Color Bars" would be a more progressive take on the classic *Figure 8* track. "Color Bars" opens with some airy blips with various guitar fill effects before a synthesized string section enters the mix with intermittent glockenspiel accentuations then slowly building to a more traditional song ultimately closing beneath more wind effects and piano. "Susan's Husband's Gunshop" is filled with all the electrical guitar rage one would expect from a title instantly drawing domestic violence imagery to one's mind. Ironically enough, "Susan's Husband's Gunshop" should've been the title track from *EDH* with Espinoza's vocals, again reminiscent of E from the eels on this track, singing the chorus: "and everyone down here is blown apart." "Interloper" continues with Earlimart's tradition of slow build from simple acoustic strum and mild drum beat to something a little more futuristic sounding slowly adding effects and tinkering with the vocals. The untitled track on Avenues is reminiscent of classic Jon Brion with it's slow chime (think *Boogie Nights*), military march drum snares and tinkered tack piano greeted with early morning birds and an occasional higher octave piano arpeggio. Closing *The Avenues E.P.* is "Parking Lots," a brief minute-and-a-half snippet that is supposed to be a complete song but sounds fully unrealized in this context.

The production on *The Avenues E.P.* is topnotch - each instrument or effect feels like it belongs and that something would sadly be missing if it was absent. The subtle mixture of acoustic guitars and untreated drums laced with the more technologically advanced effects, often beginning in the background before slowly making their way to the fore of the mix, create this warm texture missing from so many of their genre compatriots. *The Avenues E.P.* lacks the epic feel to Grandaddy's *The Sophtware Slump* and latest outing, *Sumday,* but they should not go unnoticed because of it. Sometimes the best things come in the smallest, most unassuming packages.

Fave tracks: "Color Bars," "Interloper," untitled #4.

pretty good.......2003-06-19

Earlimart is a great band, especially with their new sound. This EP introduces this new evolution from typical punk rock into a more sensible digital sound. This was continued with overwhelming success on their 2003 album Everyone Down Here. Compared to EDH, Avenues is quite uninteresting and quite short (only 12 minutes). I recommend skipping this EP and going straight into their full album (which is still short) unless you can find Avenues used for $3 or less.
