5 out of 5 stars It doesn't get better than this.......2004-02-23

If you're looking for a CD that will always thrill you, always make you stop whatever you're doing to listen, this is it. Mallett's voice and lovely lyrics are as wonderful as those of Gordon Lightfoot. I own all of Mallett's CDs and listen to this one and to his latest - Artist in Me - most often. Folk music doesn't get any better this this.

5 out of 5 stars A MASTER SONGSMITH AT WORK.......2001-11-01

This is quite simply one of the best singer-somgwriter albums I've heard. I've been a fan of Maine native Dave Mallett's work for several years now -- in recordings by him and by others as well. This album is, I think, one of his finest efforts -- it really doesn't have any weak points.

There are a few electric instruments on this recording -- the folk fan's bane, the synthesizer is here, but it's hard to notice, it's used so unobtrusively and tastefully -- but the album has a mainly acoustic feel, never allowing the arrangements to overshadow the songs themselves. The players that accompany Mallett here are all top-notch -- they show a great sensitivity to these tunes.

This album contains some of Mallett's finest writing -- the songs are melodic, memorable, and well-crafted, just what his regular listeners have come to expect from this talented artist.

Standouts for me are 'Closer now than ever', the album's opener, one of my all-time favorites of his work; 'Open doors and windows', 'Thanks to Mother Mercy', 'Photographs and memories' (not to be confused with the song by the late Jim Croce), and 'Northern lights'. Also especially notable are 'Milly, there's a dance in town', so full of the joy that the occasional dance offers the residents of a small town; and the beautifully evocative 'Snowbound', another one of Mallett's finest songs, full of the beauty and danger that lies in the harsh New England winters.

It's hard to go wrong in picking up any of Dave Mallett's recordings -- and he has many available, you just have to look a little harder for them (they're worth the effort) -- but I think this is one of his very best, a shining example of the art of the American songsmith.

[For a really exemplary collection of songs from Dave's early years, check out INCHES AND MILES, which brings together works from his first, independently-released albums. It includes 'Fire', 'The ballad of the St. Anne's reel', 'Phil Brown', and his classic 'Garden song', recorded and performed by so many other srtists that many people think it's traditional.]

5 out of 5 stars One of the best records ever.......2001-05-25

Truly honest voice singing passionately about life. I saw David at Passim's Coffee House in Harvard Square, when I was living in New Hampshire. It was many years ago but this one remains one of my all time favorites.

5 out of 5 stars Open Doors and Windows.......2000-03-14

This was the album that introduced me to Dave Mallett away back in 1984 with the song "Closer Now than Ever" a hopelessy romantic song for those whose lives are often on the road. At the time I needed to contact the Flying Fish recording label to obtain a copy. The squaredance tune "Millie there's a Dance in Town" had my daughter's swirling thru the house in their gingham check dresses, and the reflective song "Snowbound" puts one out in the fury of a Northcountry blizzard to be sure. Overall the album is all keepers except maybe "Thanks to Mother Mercy." Definitely a must for all who mourn the loss of the voice of Gordon Lightfoot.

5 out of 5 stars Art of the Trio.......2001-03-08

This is Laszlo Gardony's first trio album in twelve years, since the marvelous LEGEND OF TSUMI, and it exhibits his ability to reharmonize jazz classics like "Round Midnight" and "Blue in Green," alongside his lyrical gift and subtle rhythms. Jamey Hadad's drumming blends beautifully, especially on "Come With Me." John Lockwood's lovely bassline on "Round Midnight" is a standout. Gardony's title piece is elegant and probing, as is "The Other One" (not the Grateful Dead tune). An extraordinary composition is "The March of 1848" in which Gardony pays tribute to his Hungarian roots in a unique way, with resonances (to this listener) of Scriabin and (about half-way through) Satie as well. The seamless quality of the trio suggests a high level of art, and will deepen with each listening.

5 out of 5 stars Letting go..........2001-03-06

...//...

This music here is sound carved in emotion / emotion in balance / balance of spirit & mind / truly mindful creating...

All his trios have been very strong (with Dave Holland & Bob Moses, Miroslav Vitous & Ian Froman a.o.)...but here I feel:

-This recorded trio is the most balanced, they all seem to listen so much to eachother, suggest ideas, go separate ways to keep it interesting and still come back to the one(ness)....

-Laszlo seems the most relaxed, very inspired, without wanting to proove anything, really flowing, or even just being...

-Round Midnight is as much a masterpiece in his version as is the original...very powerful...Should have bared is name as the composer...

-Beautiful how free Laszlo plays over those changes of Blue in Green...

-John Lockwood, the bass-player, is a great fit for LG. A fat sound, impeccable time, creative and on his way but always supportive...

-The drummer unfortunately is a bit undermixed...But he has great rhythms and colors to offer & a fresh approach to the classic piano trio in jazz..

Short: Such a balance of energy...Beauty just through mere flowing and letting go. A moment rarely lived in music in general. Go get out there and get this...as it is a beautiful example of music that surrendered to the NOW.

5 out of 5 stars Fun and educational.......2006-12-23

As a father, uncle, and concerned friend, I recommend these CDs for my children, nieces/nephews and friends' children. I enjoy them as much as the kids and they teach the children about science. There are three right now and they are great. Buy one as a present today and give a child something to listen to that is educational. All ages like them from my one year old daughter to my 8 year old nephew and I am sure that they will like them for some time to come.

              anne is truly wondrous --- her music is enriching and her lyrics inspiring! listening to her songs is a wonderful opportunity to get away, to dream and to think. also take the time to stop by one of her shows when you're in chicago, it's so worth it!!

              5 out of 5 stars Anne Harris an indie goddess!.......2004-04-21

              This second album by Anne Harris is a joyfull mixture of rock folk and world beat. Besides her warm and supple voice Anne is a great poet. The lyrics really shine on the semi autobiographical "Vauban" and "Falling of the Page". Anne's emotive voice carries her story songs musically without falling into the trap of half talking that can happen with some artists. We aren't talking "Harper Valley PTA"! The delivery is much more musical with very sophisticated phrasing. The entire album is an uplifting afair. You can't help but laugh at a lyric like "I konow Oprah well enough to know she wouldn't lie". The backing band is extremely tight and incredibly talented. Anne's fiddle work is ,as always, stellar. This album deserves repeated listenings as the subtle lyric content will continue to suprise. This is in all a great sophomore effort that deserves a HUGE audiance. If you ever get a chance to see her perfome in person RUN to see her and her band! The live show only improves on an already stellar album.
