A go-to-favorite..........2007-07-14

I admit I purchased this package of work when it went on sale due to the value but it surprized me with its unique collection of warmth and song selection. There's a great deal of surprise and comfort in the retrospective that makes this one of my most played selections. Mr. Hornsby's talent and honesty comes through in a superior collection. The artist that he plays with are top notch, and the quality of the recordings are first rate. You can't niss with this purchase.

So you're thinking..."But I already have all the albums..........2007-07-01

...so do I really need to buy the box set?"

Let's assume you're like me: you own all the Bruce Hornsby albums (except Greatest Radio Hits), but

(a) you haven't obsessively bought every album of any artist where he's played in at least one track (you didn't buy Two Rooms, for instance, just to hear Hornsby play "Madman on the Water");
(b) you don't own any singles;
(c) you're not the concert-trading type.

Eliminating album versions of songs from this 53-track (not counting DVD) collection, I found 38 tracks had music I didn't yet own. 71% new!

What's in those 38 tracks?

* The various instrumental lettered songs, from Song A through Song H.
* Great versions of non-Hornsby-authored songs like "Darlin' Cory", "Jack Straw", and "Madman Across the Water."
* A good number of unique new live versions of older songs, such as a haunting version of "A Night on the Town" and a great piano-only rendition of "Sticks and Stones"--as well as the traditional "The Way It Is", "Mandolin Rain", and the rest.

Like another reviewer, I've found Disc 2 my favorite; it contains a number of instrumental pieces and collaborations on songs by other musicians. Of the four CDs, it contains the largest amount of material I didn't own or hadn't heard before.

But don't discount the other CDs. There are some great live versions on each. To get the best listening experience, if you already own all the studio albums, you may want to burn your own custom CDs from this set to pare this down to three CDs or so.

So for the price of about two CDs, you're getting three new CDs' worth of material, plus a DVD that contains music videos and concert footage, including a couple of songs, like "Go Back to Your Woods", that aren't on the CDs.

I'd call that a good deal.

Great Collection.......2007-05-12

Great collection for those who don't get to see Bruce very often. Disc 2 is my favorite.

Astonishing.......2007-04-07

This boxed set of Bruce Hornsby's music is simply astonishing.

For a few years, in the late-1980s, Bruce was hot commercially, producing a string of hits. (Re-visiting his music by listening to this boxed set, it's surprising how many hits he had!) Then the public's musical taste moved on. For a while, that bothered him, because he wasn't selling as many records as he had. But, he told me a few years ago, he finally stopped worrying about trying to please a fickle record-buying public. Instead, he decided to simply work on his craft.

That's why the music on Intersections is astonishing. Many of the 53 songs in the set are live. (For those who want to hear the hits exactly as they sounded, there's a DVD included of the 1980s videos made of those hits.) But his playing from more recent years shows that his musicianship is far better now than it was when the public was in love with him! And, since he's not worried about selling records, his music has become beyond classification. He was a classically-trained piano perfomance major in college. Some of the selections on Intersections are classical -- almost. His various arrangements turn many of his hits into jazz -- almost.

Maybe I can describe it in this way: Bruce plays rock and roll from the foundation of classical training, and, in the performance, the songs stretch out with jazz-like improvising. His band is full of incredibly accomplished musicians who are able to play off each other like members of a jazz group do. But there are also many solo pieces in the set. And there are songs Bruce plays with the Grateful Dead, with the Nitty Gritty Dirt band and Ricky Skaggs (bluegrass), with Branford Marsalis (one of the best working saxophonists today); there's even one track of Bruce playing free jazz with the legendary Ornette Coleman!

It is comon in jazz for musicians to play "the standards." Each time, the song is recognizable, but the arrangements and interpretations are so varied that it is as if listening to a new song. The same thing impresses me about the music in this boxed set. Consider each Bruce Hornsby song to be a "standard." The presentations are so diverse in this set that, each time, it is as if listening to a new song.

Intersections is a collection of tracks from a unique, highly accomplished and simply astonishing musician.

A new direction for Bruce Hornsby.......2007-02-09

Having only heard a couple of songs of Hornsby's from the 80s eg The Way it is etc, i saw this box set and thought it would be like so many other collections. the classic collections are all of the songs of the times with unrecorded versions and with a few live versions as well.

i was surprised by the fact that this was not what i expected and there are not many of the original recordings and many of them have been totally reworked and taken in a new direction which has been sensational. I actually prefer a lot of the rearrangements to the original recordings.

For those who like to hear a song as it was originally recorded track down the original albums and relisten to them. That is one of the benefits of having recordings of the songs, in that you can listen to them when you want.

There is a dvd of many of his clips which gives some of the original recordings for those who do want them.

If you like the concept of a musical journey with the composer then get your hands on this set as you get a better idea of how music is so important to him. It goes beyond any expectations i had and it is much better than i could have hoped for.

This is essential buying for any person who loves piano based music.

The '50s saw the beginning of "third stream music," whereby musicians attempted to fuse jazz and classical music into a viable synthesis. More often than not, either or both were diluted, but sometimes successful, colorful, movielike music resulted. On this live date, Lalo Schifrin (of Mission: Impossible TV fame) employs the WDR Rundfunkorchester of Cologne and the jazz talents of Christian McBride (bass), David Sanchez (tenor sax), and Jeff Williams (drums) to create a textural and cohesive whole. Lush strings and punctuating brass frame numerous solo sections where Sanchez and trumpeter James Morrison shine. Schifrin's expansive orchestral scores make effective use of jazz rhythms, particularly on arrangements of Coltrane's "Naima" and Alex North's "Theme from Spartacus," creating a wholly engaging and cinematic third-stream experience. --Wally Shoup

Album Description

Music by Schifrin, Coltrane, Silver, North and Rimsky Korsakov, all arranged by Lalo Schifrin. The unbelievably huge sound of a symphony orchestra, big jazz band and all-star players Christian McBride, Jeff Hamilton, David Sanchez and James Morrison. Intersections is the 5th in Schifrin's 'Jazz meets the Symphony series', which has garnered 3 Grammy nominations.

Intersections Manufacturer: Pine Ear ProductGroup: Music Binding: Audio CD General | Jazz | Styles | Music ASIN: B000EJ3NP6 Release Date: 2005-12-13

Product Description

"Featuring Reuben Radding on double bass, Matt Moran on vibes and Oscar Noriega on clarinet. Three of downtown's better players from different backgrounds come together to make this an inspired trio offering. Reuben can be heard in a duo or trio with Daniel Carter as well as that great trio with Carrie Schull (oboe) and Tara Flandreau (viola). Matt Moran is a member of the great Claudia Quintet, as well as with that recent gem from Monika Heidemann. Oscar Noriega has a swell CD on Omnitone, is a member of Satoko Fujii's NY Big Band and has a clarinet duo with Chris Speed. This trio, however, sounds more like the great Jimmy Giuffre Trio (w/ Paul Bley & Steve Swallow) from the mid-sixties. Very thoughtful, contemplative, elegant and quietly fascinating. Reuben wrote six of the nine tunes with two trio compositions and a version of Messiaen's "Dance of Fury". On the trio's "Siren", they stretch out each note with great suspense and spaciousness. I dig the way the trio perform "Canal and Lafayette", The theme is stated by the clarinet, shadowed by the vibes and later the bass takes over the central thread. Oscar's lush tone and careful, cautious clarinet playing is superb throughout. The clarinet and vibes both do a fine job of letting their notes resonate into dreamlike drone/notes, while Reuben's bass often provides the thread that holds the trio together. An auspicious date from one fine trio. (Bruce Lee Gallanter, Downtown Music Gallery)

from a student of Arthur Goldstein.......2005-04-23

Having worked with arthur goldstein for over two years,I can say that his playing has an admirable quality to it. His wide range of repertoire will keep even the most discriminatory of listeners satisfied. Strongly Recomended! (also look for Arthur Goldstein's previous recording, "PIANO SOLOS")

Varied Music, Very Musical.......2003-07-10

The album is primarily solo piano, ranging in style from original compositions in the 12-tone mode of Schoenberg to a tune by Jelly Roll Morton. The pieces are all quite beautiful and the piano playing is fine. There are also a few tunes with a jazz quartet. This is an album that will be a pleasure to listen to many times over.

I know that Justin McRoberts already has another album out, but I wanted to review Intersections! It is amazing. His lyricism and honesty come through in each song. He makes you feel as though you are going through each situation along with him. I highly recommend this cd to anyone who likes acoustic guitar without all that hippy stuff ;oP j/k...i love hippies.
