Long-time Fan.......2007-04-08

Elin has a beautiful way of making every song her own. That is the result that some musicians spend a lifetime mastering, but she grabs onto a tune and drinks down the lyrics in a way that shows it is second-nature to her.
The Brazilian tunes, especially, flow perfectly.
A great cd for jazz enthusiasts and neophyte listeners alike.

SENSATIONAL DEBUT PERFORMANCES BY THE JAZZY SWEDE SONGSTRESS WHO LOVES BRAZIL .......2006-12-24

Five HUGE Stars!!! Elin is a wonderful Sweden-born, New York-based singer/songwriter who is SENSATIONAL on this chart-making debut CD. She fell in love with Brazilian music and the culture as a teen, learned Brazilian Portuguese, and lived in Rio for a while. Formally educated, she is no stranger to the singing venues of the world from Sweden to Brazil to Miami to New York and beyond. Her performances here of Brazilian music and straight-ahead jazz display flawless time and dazzling technique as she nails Portuguese phrases and creates jazzy scenarios. She also sings in English and Spanish on this CD, displaying three of her five fluent languages. And when they walked into this studio, she and her cohorts were READY to make some special music. This disc has received great reviews from jazz radio DJs and the esteemed 'Downbeat' magazine. BTW, "Elin" is pronounced "e-ah-LEEN' " spoken quickly.

Her lovely honey-toned voice is used as an instrument which goes from slow ballads ("Lush Life") to smoking sambas ("Casa Forte") to 'cuica'-imitation ("Aquarela do Brasil") to vocalese gymnastics ("Doralice") within her well-defined range. This CD has a group of exceptionally-arranged songs bolstered by jazz soloists of power and imagination. I love singers who can hold their own and graciously share solo time.

The 'Pieces De Resistance", the best of the best, begin with a sizzling treatment of "Fascinating Rhythm" in English as a samba that jumps to "Telefone" in Portuguese to 'scat'-ing and it totally works (kudos to Elin and the clarinet player). "Lazy Afternoon" swings away from Brasil as a straight-ahead commendable ballad (lush vocal from Elin & great flugelhorn from Claudio Roditi), and she swings it right back to Brazil with hip sambas: her own "I Love New York" and a fun "Aquarela Do Brasil". Elin's second lovely composition "La Luna" is in Spanish & heats up vocally as it goes, with two smoking 'Getz-ian' tenor sax solos, leaving us wanting more.

The late Brazilian super-diva Elis Regina's influence is strong on this CD and Elin has the subtle power and technique to both pay homage to Regina and use her music as a springboard for individualistic vocalizing. This is seen in the case of the extended treatment of the wordless "Casa Forte" (love the hot cello work behind her) and the AWESOME ballad and baião treatment of "Vera Cruz", which was originally a short Elis Regina tour-de-force. Elin shows her familiarity with Regina's version then expands on it TWICE with fresh Portuguese nuances, extending the performance to over 6 minutes of wonderful, emotional vocalizing and instrumental solos (Claudio Roditi makes a second stunning appearance on flugelhorn ). "Vera Cruz" can best be described as pure 'ear & brain candy'. Bravo, Elin! This is a wonderful, sensational debut. More, please! Highly Recommended!! Five ENJOYABLE Stars!!

(Notes:
*This review is based on an ITunes musical download.
*Sweden is a hotbed of musical excellence, much like Brasil, but there are a number of singers using the name "Elin". Our Brazilian/jazz "Elin" is using only one name as her stage name, but others such as Elin Sigvardsson, Elin Ruth, and model Elin Lanto are also out there, so buy carefully, although they are also excellent vocalists. Keep your eyes (and ears) on Swedish music.
* Elis Regina's short but incredible version of "Vera Cruz", with it's hairpin twists and turns, can be heard on the 'FIve Star' CD "Como & Porque".)

I can name that tune in three notes.......2005-02-19

My family likes to put this disc in on shuffle and play name that tune. I wish they made more discs like this, only with more obscure works.

A Fabulous CD.......2004-10-14

The Idiot's Guide to Calssical Music is an awesome Cd for those people who want to have a tiny sample of all the great classical compositions. Track 61 and 63 are my favorite.

Mega-Sampler! This really does have 99 tracks!.......2002-03-20

Yes, this CD really does have 99 tracks. How do they do it? Each is about a minuet long. Some are longer, some are shorter, but you get the micro-essential moments of the music.

If you like burning your own CDs, then this is a great source for intra-track fillers, along the lines of They Might Be Giants' "Apollo 18" album, which has all of those short tracks on the end. The idea is to put your CD player on shuffle, so the short tracks get mixed in with the bona fide songs. The result being a very unusual album.

The booklet gives an explanation of the track, where you heard it (i.e. the Warner Brother's Cartoons, or on famous films), and where you can get the full piece of music. So it's a mega sampler CD.

I can honestly say that this CD is a great gift for the friend who has everything.

Fun Sampler.......2001-11-09

For the beginner. You will be surprised at how many of the 99 themes you recognize here. It is an easy introduction to classical music. Nice booklet too.

Useful........1999-03-22

Take it for what it is, a clever and useful GUIDE to classical music. No, it is NOT an uncut rendition of Beethoven's 9th symphony. It IS a cd that will jog your memory. You have heard many of the tunes presented here, but not always knowing what the work was. This is your chance to catch up with all the great classical music you have been exposed to. Cheap too.

A Unique and Special Piece of Work.......2007-07-27

ok, this isn't top 10 stuff, the sort of tunes American Idol contestants will pick to sing.

b-i-g d-e-a-l

this is a fantastic, coherent, well executed artifact from the musical evolutionary swamp of the 60s when jazz/folk/rock and whatever routinely collided. The sonngs are jazzy folky, but buckley's delivery of them defies easy categorization - sad, plaintive, heartfelt. the bottom line here is that this is genuine, straight from the heart, honest and it goes straight to your heart. i know this is a contradiction but it's polished and raw at the same time - the sound is polished, the delivery edgy and totally real, not some crap produced in a by-the-numbers fasion by a fast talking producer who wanted a "hit". some genius had the balls to leave buckley alone and let him make this great, great, gorgeous album. it's all sunsets and late saturday afternoons and it WORKS

Sublime Perfection.......2007-05-27

The title is perfect for this album for it communicate a world weary lost in a blues type of feeling that has a zen-like acceptance as communicated by the the most beautiful voice ever recorded in this genre of music. This work is a therapeutic time-capsule to anyone's heartache.

LP reissue is on its way.......2007-05-09

Blue Afternoon is arguably Tim Buckley's finest hour. On this album, his earlier folk rock sensibilities meet a nascent modern jazz influence that hints at what is to come in such work as Starsailor. The songs, however, are as perfectly constructed and formed as anything on Goodbye and Hello or Happy Sad.
Blue Afternoon and Starsailor are both listed for reissue at the end of June 2007 on 4 Men And A Beard Records on 180gm vinyl. Several mail-order shops are already listing a date of the 28th of that month and I would imagine amazon will pre-order both LPs once this is confirmed?

Go to itunes.......2007-05-07

You can get this album and starsailor for 7.97 a piece. Good price because even though this is good it is not worth the amount these sellers are selling it for.

Number One of My "Desert Island Discs".......2006-10-04

When I lived in England, Radio 4 had a series called "Desert Island Discs" where celebrities would talk about the 10 albums they would want to have if they were stranded on a desert island. Tim Buckley's "Blue Afternoon" would be my #1.

Around 1970 Warner/Reprise issued a compilation album of "Loss Leaders" called The Big Ball, featuring its little-known or up-and-coming artists. I actually purchased it to hear another artist's contribution, but then I heard "Happy Time". Buckley's voice grabbed me and wrapped itself around my soul, and over 35 years and a lot of music later, he remains the artist against whom i measure all others.

Blue Afternoon is one of the best albums ever made and my favorite Tim Buckley album. I was actually old enough to purchase a copy when it was released, and throughout the years, as the vinyl wore out, i KEPT purchasing copies....because it is so incredible. I played it constantly. Probably one of the reasons the album is so hard to find is that I personally wore out 4 copies.

And I still listen to it today. Buckley was so unique that most of his stuff doesn't sound dated. From the subltly sorrowful "Happy Time", the drowsy sexiness of "So Lonely", the manic "The Train", and the aching beauty of "Blue Melody" and "I Must Have Been Blind", the album never gets old, never seems repetitious. I'm probably preaching to the choir, but if you can get your hands on a copy, do it. I still have 2 copies in reasonable shape. But notwithstanding my pathetic financial circumstances, I wouldn't sell them --- or any of my Buckley albums --- for any amount of money. He's that good.

Just Perfect.......2003-10-06

Lovely, soft voices, great tunes. A superb boss nova electronica album. Definitely one of the best albums of 2003. Listen the sample songs, I am sure you will fall in love with this album.

A near-perfect album.......2003-05-11

A near-perfect blend of electronica, jazz, bossa and lounge. Musically, it's a seamless album and singer's voice is haunting, but in a sunny positive way; perhaps memorable is a more accurate word. The instrumentation is beautifully arranged and executed, and very indicative of high talent. The only problem that keeps this album from being a true five-star CD (I would have given it a 4 1/2, if possible) is that most (if not all) of the songs on the disc are covers. It would have been interesting to see what they would have done with more original material, but this is a minor nitpick.

If you're into this kind of music, this is definitely an album to get, and a band to watch for in the future.

Positive surprise for springwaiting..........2003-03-19

Album is bjuutifull! Really! 100% positive feelings. It's like briliant voice of Portishead, but singing about warm summer night, not about cold evening in the old and dark house. :) In the world of "too much" lounge music, this CD is one to want one.

Excellent !.......2003-03-09

A mix between jazz lounge and bossa nova. This album is fantastic, relaxing... an album to buy.

review.......2006-04-06

As a former student of Gene Pokorny, I can attest to his wonderful insight and musicianship. If you are a musician (especially if you play tuba), this is a must-own. This CD dissolves all of the stereotypes...the tuba is just as much a solo instrument as trumpet, flute or any other!
--EJL

"Memories of You" and an English Folksong To!.......2000-09-24

There is an incredible range of music, from the amazing interpretation of "Memories of You" to Carnival of Venice, its just.............great!

Very nice phrasing........1999-05-20

I first came upon this C.D. when I was in School taking tuba. It is a very good piece to add to one Tuba music collection. The music he choses is excellant and gives a young listener a taste of the range a tuba can play. The disc is recorded in a rather simple matter and you can here the breaths Pokorny takes as he goes on. It adds a very r/t touch to the disc.

Customer Reviews:

Greatest Collection of Classical I have........2006-12-14

I don't care much for compilation CDs. Usually they are someone else's favorite set of songs from that genre or composer. I usually like the songs, but when I get into listening to the other songs in the genre or by the same composer I find songs that I'm more fond of.

This collection is different.

I try not to be too generous with my top ratings in iTunes for songs, I don't give out a four or five stars to just anything, but many of the songs from this collection make up a good chunk of my top rated songs. I just love this collection.

This is not a good digital recording.......1999-07-27

There is a 'record player' hum in the background when you try to listen to various tracks on these CDs. The compilation is wonderful. The Quality of the recording is very disappointing. The outside of the album cover reads DDD which I thought to mean clean and clear all digital recording. Don't be deceived by the cover.
