As good as tenor saxophonist Joe Lovano's recent quartet albums featuring piano master Hank Jones were, they didn't prepare us for the sublimity of this two-man encounter. Duets Live has it all: brilliant and spirited individual playing, exceptional rapport, a terrific mix of songs and a luminous awareness of jazz in all its varied forms. What makes Lovano and Jones so compatible, even though they are separated by more than three decades, is the ease with which they each straddle and move back and forth across the line beween modern and pre-modern (in this, Lovano recalls Coleman Hawkins, one of the giants Jones backed). Much of the material is steeped in classic bop, but Jones points the way back to an earlier golden era with his lambent sparkle and Lovano comes at songs like "Charlie Chan" (his salute to Charlie Parker), Thelonious Monk's "Four in One," and Tadd Damerson's "Soultrane" from consistently fresh angles even as he applies his classic husky sound. Still a force at 88, Jones elegantly frees three of his late brother Thad's tunes from their big band trappings and in the solo spotlight pulls out stops on the standard, "Oh! Look at me Now!" It's a performance of gusty expression and poetic delicacy, slyness and warmth, and endless smiles. Is it too much to ask for a volume two? --Lloyd Sachs

its great that mr jones is still with us........2007-07-18

mr jones playing is great as always.mr lovanos playing is the most distinctive of all the current sax players. the playing on this album is very good, the monk tune "four in one" is my favorate. the only thing i not not like is that the piano could have been recored with a little more volume.

A MAGNIFICENT DUO: HANK & JOE IN A TIMELESS, BEAUTIFUL JAZZ PERFORMANCE.......2007-05-13

Five MAGNIFICENT Stars!! The legendary jazz keyboard master Hank Jones and legendary tenor saxophone titan, Joe Lovano, have conjured up one of the best jazz duet performances in years!! And they are caught live at the intimate Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola in the Frederick P. Rose Hall, which is the Jazz At Lincoln Center performance complex in NYC. These are timeless, beautiful, flawless performances by two jazz masters who have almost restlessly searched the jazz spectrum for fulfillment in many formats over the years. They definitely have found something very special here that just may require an encore and it happened in a great venue. Stepping away from Mr Lovano's quartet, these two incomparable musicians have all of the propulsion and rhythm that is needed to propel these excellent performances along nicely. Unencumbered by bass and drum, they bend and stretch the time at will, with Hank providing solos and colorations as well as wicked time-keeping 'stride piano' with Joe declaratively soaring above and in between, making for some wonderful mellow jazz music. '80ish' Mr Jones plays with equal fire as '50ish' Mr Lovano making this duo an empathetic match made in jazz heaven.

The 'Pieces De Resistance', the best of the best, are wall to wall equally-captivating performances which proceed without letdown from song to song. But I especially like the fire by both players on "Lady Luck", written by Hank's brother, Thad, and "Kids Are Pretty People". I also love Joe's nod to older tenor players with his 'Ben Webster-ish' tenor sax effects on "Lullaby" and his nod to Yardbird Parker on "Charlie Chan", so reminiscent of Miles' "Half Nelson". Hank gets two solo bites of this CD apple with a wonderful, shimmering "Oh, What A Beautiful Mornin' " and "Oh! Look At Me Now", which is fitting since "Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola" is known for great solo piano performances. Joe gets off what is probably his best solo, alone and later with Hank, on a swirling performance of Monks' "Four In One", blowing hot, liquid strings of notes. Pure, timeless, magnificent jazz music! Encore, gentlemen! My Highest Recommendation. Five ENJOYABLE Stars!!

AMAZING GRACE!.......2007-07-25

I love Erasure and have for over 20 years. I listen to Erasure and Marc Almond exclusively, as I find them full of heart and soul that is profoudly moving. At first I was thrown off by this album since it is so different. It took me about 2 weeks to fall in love with it but now I am hooked! The songs have wonderful music and the words are so sexy! It's great to dance to! The songs are equally profound as in the past and do touch my soul like only Erasure can do. Very highly recommended. Golden Heart and How My Eyes Adore You are my favorites. I love this album and it is one of the best yet!

Vintage Vince and Andy - Welcome Back Erasure!.......2007-05-31

I've been an Erasure fan since the beginning -- unlike many who got on board much later, I actually remember the rare Thomas the Train cover for "Oh L'Amour" -- and I have to say this is a terrific album! After the interesting but ultimately unsatisfying reinvention for "Union Street" and the equally interesting but not terribly original "Other People's Songs" -- and let's not even talk about "Loveboat", this is a much-needed return to their vintage synth-driven sound.

More upbeat and peppy than "Nightbird" (which I also loved), "Light at the End of the World" sounds like a cross between "Cowboy" and "Wild!" to me -- with a little bit of "Chorus" and "I Say I Say I Say" thrown in for good measure. "Sucker For Love" sounds like an updated version of "La Gloria", and it's even more fun. "Sunday Girl" is a perfect synthpop masterpiece. "I Could Fall In Love With You" puts me in mind of "Don't Say Your Love Is Killing Me", and so it goes on with all Vince's vintage bleeps, buzzes, and knob-twiddling. By the way, if you've got quick ears, you'll also here echoes of "Always", "Treasure", "Snappy", "Crown of Thorns", and even "March On Down The Line". Listen closely! :)

It sounds like he's dusted off some of the old analog keyboards and sequencers, to great effect. Andy's vocals are in tip-top shape, only stretched a little on the deepest notes (like the notes he used to lose himself in so beautifully on "You Surround Me"). A fantastic album, and it couldn't come at a better time.

Welcome back, Erasure!

STOP! Stand there where you are...and DON'T buy this version of the CD!!!.......2007-05-23

Immediately search for the album again and get the 'limited edition' version with the two bonus tracks. It's less money than this version--and the two bonus tracks are two of Erasure's best!!!

A very Funny (Stupid) Comedy.......2007-03-26

My wife and I have watched this movie hundreds of time and we still laugh throughout. It a very funny (yet dumb) comedy.

A great Movie Soundtrack.......2007-02-03

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and knew I needed to purchase the accompanying motion picture soundtrack that features 14 great songs, 11 being on the movie and 3 remixes and additions. 'A Night At The Roxbury' is a great movie with a comedic twist. But there is no comedy attached to this massive soundtrack. The feature of the movie was "What is Love" which was the 7" Mix by Haddaway. The song is one of the strongest suits on this album. You have the well know favourites in this album like 'Bamboogie', 'Do Ya Think I'm Sexy', 'Be My Lover'. The well known singers La Bouche and Amber which made the techno scene rock in the 90's are featured with quality styled songs.

The last song on this album is the slowest song on the album but a real gorgeous song to listen to; Tamia's 'Careless Whisper'. If you were a fan of the movie, you will by far and away enjoy the soundtrack. So buy the album and add it to your collection. You won't be disappointed. I wasn't.

Song not featured on album.......2006-03-26

If you want to know what that dance song is thats playing while the brothers are arguing in traffic its called "nightmare" and is by Brain Bug. i know alot of poeple who wanted the soundtrack specifically for that song and were bummed to find out it was'nt on there.

Never get tired of this soundtrack!.......2005-10-30

I agree this soundtrack has such great material, you can play it every now and then and soon you want to start dancing! Little can I say about the movie, to me it was just "OK", though the best parts are those with the Butami brothers dancing, joking around and of course the music at The Roxbury in the background! If you like House/Disco Music, this CD is a must...!

Song from movie not included!.......2005-07-18

I loved the movie and make it a point of showing it to all my friends. The Cd is fantastic, although it doesn't have that really cool sounding song that is playing while the Butabi's are gridlocked in traffic on the freeway I think. Does anyone know what the name of the song is or the artist? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

After something of a departure--two live discs and the unplugged Union Street (2006)--Erasure returns to full electronic form. From the languid opening wash of "Sunday Girl," Andy Bell and Vince Clarke make no bones about wearing old hats. Most of Light at the End of the World works within the familiar confines of the vintage Erasure formula, drunk on everyman synthesizers, listing through painfully vague and obvious rhymes. ("I get really repetitive because I don't read enough!" Bell admits.) Backed a long-studied love of pop, gospel, and the dance floor, Bell and Clarke revel in this stuff. "Sucker for Love" and "Fly Away" dabble most obviously in such pap, but the band still packs a few surprises, if only for the devoted. "Storm in a Teacup" tackles the alcoholism of Bell's mother in a rare confluence of straightforward storytelling and concrete imagery, and despite being an insincerely fictitious character study, "Darlene" moves with a syncopated, driving bounce that Erasure has rarely, if ever, found in 22 years of mid-tempo electro-meandering. If you don't like Erasure already, you probably won't take a shining to Light at the End of the World. If you do, let's hope their world spins on. --Jason Kirk

What's so wrong with the 'classic' label?.......2007-07-24

Erasure have crafted their best album in years, possibly since Chorus in 1991. So many reviewers, professional and amateur, have written off this CD as 'classic' Erasure, scolding them for being, well, Erasure. From the opening synth call of Sunday Girl to the lift that is I Don't Know Why, this album is gloriously exciting, well-written and clever. Each song fits together intricately and while Sunday Girl, I Could Fall in Love with You (with its beautiful video) and Storm in a Teacup, first stood out for me, I keep finding new favorites as I continue listening to the CD. There are no throwaway tracks on this CD. In this age of random-play iPods, it is seldom that I listen to complete CDs in order anymore. Being able to have thousands of songs at one's disposal can make great music disappear into the electronic shuffle. This CD, however, has captured my attention in a way that no other recent pop releases have, whether by Erasure (or Andy Bell) or other artists (Pet Shop Boys, Kelly Clarkson). I will be listening to the CD for a long time. It defines Erasure today, and any obvious nods to their past sound only serve to prove that their sound is strong and enduring, unlike the "top" music of today, which I am very grateful they didn't try to emulate (hello, Robbie Williams and Madonna) just to go to the top of the charts.

Have fun for a change!.......2007-07-21

Every 10 years Erasure produces a very good album. In 1987 it was the "Innocents" with the big top 40 hits. Then in 1997 came "Cowboy", IMHO thier best, now late in the game of pop music-2007 comes "Light" filled with danceable singalongs that still can touch my heart.

A revival of sort back to the day of glitteringly produced synth pop that your granny may tap her feet to. "Sucker for Love" really revives this almost forgotten style. They were the first openly gay band who sold really well. Now,being out, "drags" bands down.(no pun intended)

Most of the songs work really well. Andy Bell keeps it personal, sharing his trials of life. "Fly Away" makes me feel good about my own losses in life.We are all in this together.I love you after all these years, Andy!!! "Glass Angel" has an urgency that gives a dark ending to an upbeat album. I hope these guys have another great album in 2017!

One of their best albums!!!!.......2007-07-10

This is one of their best albums and the two bonus tracks in the Deluxe Edition are better than most of the tracks in the standard edition. Buy it now!!!!

Not their best and certainly not their worst........2007-07-07

This is not a bad album, but it is not their best. I agree that this returns to the dancier pop sounds of Chorus and prior albums. Still, it is missing that that depth and originality that will make these songs classics similar to A Little Respect, Blue Savannah, I Love To Hate You or Always.

What you have here is a polished, enjoyable but somewhat samey sounding album. I love this band, and I really want to love this, but it just seems like an average album to me. I guess all fans will have their favorites. I lean more towards the synthy sweetness of I Say X 3 and the ambient explorations of the Erasure album. Regardless of my thoughts on this album, I am thrilled that Vince and Andy continue to make music and tour the US.

Highlights of this release for me are Storm In A Teacup, Fly Away and When A Lover Leaves You.

Great Effort for the old guys.......2007-07-06

Light at the End of the WOrld is a very, very admirable effort from the Erasure boys. It is very much in the vein of some of their earlier efforts and more upbeat and dancey than recent offerings from the kings (queens?) of europop.

THe single, I could Fall in Love is just stunning in its overproduced, electronic whirlwhind sound and feel. YOu can't sit still when it plays. Several other tracks have "potential hit" markend on them as well...Sunday Girl for instance.

If you loved older Erasure albums, but have been bored by the newer, softer sounds, this is your chance to have some fun with the boys Clarke and Bell once again.

sometimes a dude's just got to wail !.......2007-08-02

If there is a better more kigaz live CD released in the last decade, it's durn sure evaded me. I've seen JB three times in the last few years and after each occasion I went home absolutely riled and sat there scouring the web for a live recording, always to no avail. And finalfriggingly here it is. This is what the best daggum guitar player you could ever hope to see live today sounds like - whoee is this guy good! He walks around playing that thing and makes it look easier than me playing my broom. Screw the money - a bargain at twice the price!

WOW!.......2007-03-31

It's taken me literally two decades to get Jeff Beck. In my twenties, I tried Blow by Blow and his stuff with Rod Stewart, and while I could appreciate his prowess, it didn't resonate the same way Rory Gallagher or Jimmy Page or even Blackmore did. I warmed up considerably as I approached 30 and heard his work on "Amused to Death" with Roger Waters (lovely stuff). Now, I can't get enough. I see/hear his influence everywhere (from Page to Satriani). This guy really is everything they say he is. This album, while a bit pricey, is worth every cent. The absolute perfect introduction to Jeff Beck for the novice, but be careful, it might spoil you. This stuff never sounded so good, so crunchingly raw. He's on fire. Awesome, awesome album.

Good but not jeff's best.......2007-02-23

The asking price is insane! I bought this disk from Jeff's website for $15 plus S&H. The disc is great but it's raw & raunchy, sort of harsh... Don't buy at this price; go to Jeff's website and buy the "Official Bootleg USA 2006" much better recording and it sells for just $15 plus S&H...

Great Album!.......2007-02-16

Jeff Beck has always been one of my favorite guitarists. This disc really proves that he's still got the edge! I highly recommend this disc.

Caution: do not order from Yodelin'Pig. Although this is supposed to be the Japanese import version of this disc, they sent me the domestic version.

Excellent.....But Overpriced.......2007-01-15

Holy Crap...I bought this CD on-line, when it first came out, for less than HALF of what it costs now. That said, this is an over-the-top performance by one of the worlds best rock guitarists. I think Beck must have been 'set to 11' during this performance, probably because it's a NYC audience and he knows what they demand for their moneys-worth. His tones are often aggressive, rude, and outrageous, yet he can tame them for that sweet, silky-soft playing on the slower numbers. This is what Beck probably sounds like on those nights when, with insomnia at 2AM and pissed off about it, he decides to take it out on his Strat. Great driving music...try to avoid getting a speeding ticket with this in your CD palyer.

A Mature Sam Cooke.......2007-07-26

I can categorically say this album was the cream of Sam Cooke. The reason for saying this, is to counteract the previous comment made by A. Sturley. Sam did not change his voice for this concert. Sam was getting more mature. His voice was breaking. Which I preferred. Had he lived longer, he would'nt be too far of Bobby Womack or a more polished soul singer. Also him moving with the times, who knows how he would really sound like had he lived longer. A. Sturley, if you do not believe me,buy and listen to the album (Keep Moving On).Both albums will always make music listeners take notes. The One Night Stand: Live at the Harlem Square Club was Sam Cooke delivering at his very best!

An Unforgettable Live Album.......2007-04-17

This album is a priceless gem that you will treasure forever! Sam Cooke metaphorically rolls up his sleeves and really works up a sweat in this amazing live concert at the Harlem Square Club, giving an earthy, gritty performance that is spellbinding. Sam's delivery crackles with raw energy! He belts out the songs with an emotional intensity and sense of urgency that whips his audience into euphoric frenzy.

Some favourite, well-loved songs (such as "Cupid," "Chain Gang," "Bring it on Home to Me," etc.) have been thumpingly and effectively re-worked to give them an edginess which causes the temperature to soar in that highly charged, festive atmosphere.

You can feel the electricity in the air! Sam teases and cajoles an attentive and adoring audience who eagerly comply with the call to party. The tempo intensifies and reaches a crescendo at the end of a totally exhilarating and riveting musical experience!

One of the greatest live performances.......2007-01-12

Sam Cooke delivers an unbelievable performance in this one. When I first got it, it was difficult for me to appreciate this live album. But as time passed by, the more it grew on me. And now, it's truly one of my favorite albums. Any soul music fan has to have this one.

The way Sam Cooke works the crowd is a thing of beauty. Those people that attended this performance are some lucky folks. He gives it his all and the crowd appreciates it. My personal favorite was "Chain Gang" because of the way he works the crowd at the end and because his voice is just electrifying with his "oh yeah" screams. Sam Cooke may not be my favorite artist but I believe he's the greatest artist of all-time. This record is one of the many testaments of that.

ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS EVER!.......2006-11-21

This is soul at its very best! No matter how many times I listen to this album, I NEVER get tired of it. Sam Cooke went on to inspire thousands of musicians and, after hearing this album, you'll know why. Since the new movie "Ali," starring Will Smith, has been released on DVD and VHS, a lot of people wonder about the beginning where the actor portraying Sam Cooke is performing. Well, this recording is exactly where they got the idea for the beginning of the film.
Of course, my favorite is "Bring It On Home To Me." Sam delivers his music with all the fervor of a gospel sermon and beat of a pop/doo wop song. Then, there are also the usual hits, from "Cupid" to "Twistin' The Night Away."
If you're looking for a soul album to start a collection, this IS the ONE!!! It'll keep you moving!!! The sound is no longer mono, making it all the more enjoyable. The fact that Sam could get the place jumpin' is exactly why he was such a great entertainer. You can feel the high energy and the fun of that evening back in 1963 oozing out of the stereo every time you listen to this album. James Brown may be the Godfather of soul, but Sam Cooke is the father!!!

should get more than 5 stars!.......2006-08-19

This is the live album to outdo all other live albums. I am a head banging, rock and roller, guitar nut and this is still the best live album ever!

The main reason that it is great is b/c Sam Cooke works the audience. The cd builds up steam as the songs go by. This is a snowball rolling down a hill that gets bigger and bigger.

He talks to the audience, works the ladies, entices the men, pumps up his band, etc. The songs are almost a "best of" situation. Chain gang, having a party, twisting are all awesome!

You know how great the cd is? The recording has serious limitations. There are no highs and no lows. Horns, guitar, bass, drums are all mixed way towards the back but Cooke's singing and talking are way towards the front. It does not matter and should not influence anyone's listening pleasure.

A great comparison is to Otis Redding live at the Whiskey a Go Go. That is a good concert, fantastic sound recording and the band seriously rocks. This blows that away.

This is not only the best concert cd but also, it is obvious how other entertainers and djs modeled themselves afer Sam Cooke's style.

What a shame that this tremendous performer died in his prime.

Whoever reads this take note...I am no soul music fanatic. I am a Lez Zep. Who, Nirvana, guitarnut type of guy. THAT is how powerful that this work is b/c it most definetly rocks more than "live at leeds", "get your ya yas out", "Song remains the same", etc.

Keep coming back for more.......2007-01-18

I've been listening to Pearl Jam ever since their first album. In the past few years, however, I didn't own any new Pearl Jam record, until I've decided to buy this live performance. What an amazing treat. Not only the new songs are as good as the original, but the live performance ads a whole new feeling to the music and the lyrics. One of the reasons I love Pearl Jam (yes, I used the word Love), is because of their originality and most of all, their stand above the commercial vice. Where too many groups had fallen victim of commercialism, spitting out meaningless records and videos, Peal Jam took a strong stand in the beginning and refused to be audited by the likes of MTV. Their music is powerful, meaningful and most of all, human. So here, more than a decade after "Ten" I am able to listen to a live show and enjoy it more than any group currently on the market, singing while I drive the favorites from past albums as well as some of the newer songs I haven't heard before. I highly recommend this CD to any Peral Jam fan or anyone who is just starting to feel their beautiful music.

Pearl Jam is the ultimate Rock band.......2007-01-09

Well, this live album is very good and it shows that Pearl Jam is still the No. 1 rock band in the world.

Best Live PJ album!.......2006-07-26

Simply put...buy this album. There is no better live Pearl Jam album.

Diverse and sometimes powerful acoustic live CD.......2006-04-03

Disclaimer: I give the sound quality and musicianship FIVE stars on this album. The set list and the way some of the non-pj songs seem disconnected from the overall feel of the album is what brings it to an overall of three stars, though still recommended.

As an avid Pearl Jam fan who's listened to nearly everything they've ever published in the recorded music realm, I again couldn't wait to get my hands on this Live acoustical album...sometimes simply known in musical circles as "unplugged".

The album features a few of their classics like "Of the Girl" and "Daughter" as well as many covers, like Dylan's "Masters of War". With an unplugged CD like this, you get to hear the band in almost more of a true folk/spiritual sounding set as opposed to an arena rocker. The venue, Benaroya Hall, from what I can "hear" of this album, is a superb place to record a live performance (especially an acoustic one, Vedder's voice almost echoes, but doesn't, it's just enough to give it more of a far reaching "boom" as opposed to falling flat through the crowd which can sometimes happen at a recording such as this. Thankfully, this is not the case; it's the one of the best sounding LIVE albums I've ever heard!

Because I love the sounds, and could tell that whatever this place was is obviously the place to be when recording an "unplugged" album, I did some research on it. I'll give you the basics in a short but informative way.

1) Benaroya Hall opened up in 1998 as Seattle's state-of-the-art performance hall. It is home to the Seattle Symphony.

2) The State of the art facility is designed with the music in mind of course. As I mentioned before, Vedder's voice really comes through clear and strong. The hall is made with a multitude of angles as well as panels and nooks that disperse and diffuse the pitch of sound as it travels as a wavelength. The physics of this of course, gives us much more quality music...it's enhanced a million times better than if say, they were playing on a stage in the middle of a basketball gymnasium.

Now that you are familiar with how great the SOUND is and the SCIENCE behind it, it's time to move on to my opinion of this album.

First off, the set list. When I first listened to it I was enthralled at hearing some of my favorite songs. For an acoustical album it still felt like powerful music, and Vedder and the crew really do sound like, as usual, they are putting their heart and soul into playing their instruments and delivering the message or theme the song portrays. As I went later on into the album, I started to feel a little lost. Several songs I had never heard of seemed to suck some of the energetic feel that I had from their classics right outta the air!

Was it the song, the way they played the song or their attitude in general? I think the latter does not apply, but the former mentioned rings true. Some of these songs may seem like something the band should play (like "Masters of War" and "I believe in miracles") however, to often I felt like the band wasn't in Benaroya hall anymore, they were on a regular stage singing cover songs. The band to me simply does not seem to evoke the same energy or spirit that they do with their own music. Now, in saying that, maybe because their music is just that, something that came from their heart, mind, and soul, and not someone else's, that is why I feel somewhat disenfranchised from the non-PJ songs on this album.

In continuing to be objective, I would have liked to see a couple more of their own songs, whether they were hits or lesser known tunes, on each disk. I think to me it would have made it a little more Pearl Jam. However, as a fan, I ultimately still enjoy this album, and am impressed at the quality of sound that The Hall they play in presents.

There are still parts of this CD that are simply amazing, like the way your heart will feel heavier when hearing the song "Low Life" and "Of the girl". These are tracks I never get tired of hearing so I may be biased there, but taking the electronics and electric guitars out of the picture never seems to strip down the bands talent but unveil a stronger, richer sound all it's own!

The interaction with the crowd of course is more subtle than playing say, at some place like Miami or Houston in front of 50,000 people. The feeling from the crowd is appreciative, but also a special kind considering that they are doing the album (from what I can gather from Vedders intermittent speeches) for a youth benefit charity. Pearl Jam will never be called sellouts or greedy rock stars, as they are often known participate in things to help their community, the world, and fellow man.

"Sleight of Hand" is also a gem on here and comes deep from Eddie's now usual soothing, almost reaching out sorrow and serious toned vocals. It uses the usual theme of one person vs. themselves and others, invoking sad tones of regret and memory. There seems to be some electronic things going on here and there, so I am assuming unplugged means that the lead guitarists are playing acoustics, or perhaps someone is using a pedal machine via acoustic banks. Regardless, overall it's the sound quality of the hall that makes up for some of the songs I don't put up on a pedestal. There are other PJ sources of live music; however, I don't think you can really go wrong with this album. With 24 tracks performed at a great venue by one of the greatest American Rock bands of all time, how could you go wrong?

Now that's a ass whooping..........2006-01-28

Ohh dear this album is simply so great that I find it difficult to understand that I first got my hands on it in 2006. It contains everything good about Pearl Jam, great lyrics, talented music, high energy and powerfull rock ballads. This album is mostly unplugged and the depth of the band really shows on songs like: "Fatal", "Immortality", and "Off He Goes". The semi electric songs are arguably even better. The versions of "Daughter", "Black", "Crazy Mary", "Nothing As It Seems" and "All Or None" are each easily worth the prize of the album by them self.

A parade of great instrumental and electric songs - I wished I had been there at the concert because it must have been a night to remember.

"Live at 'The Club'" boasts the cover of this 1966 album. Of course, this turned out to be a lie, as did the entirety of the original liner notes. Mercy, Mercy, Mercy was not recorded at that Chicago venue, but instead at Capitol Studios in Los Angeles. (The ruse was a favor to the club owner.) The hollering audience was comprised of invited guests and stimulated by free booze. Still, their enthusiasm is definitely well warranted, as alto man Cannonball Adderley and his band offer a riveting blend of postbop calisthenics and soul-jazz grooves. Joe Zawinul's famous title track, with its hypnotic, gospel-drenched funkiness, was a crossover top 10 pop hit, as well as an astonishing exercise in restraint for Zawinul, who somehow resists the urge to dig in on his electric piano, instead opting for a deep, mellow mood. The rest of the album cooks, with Cannonball, brother Nat on cornet, and Zawinul supplying the heat. --Marc Greilsamer

Album Description

Brilliant.......2007-02-17

I Remember Bird, Leonard Feather's tribute to Charlie Parker, is one of my all time favorite jazz pieces. Cannonball and his brother Nate play it superbly. It's an unforgettable performance.

Good fun.......2006-06-04

Performed in front of a studio crowd plyed with free drinks, Cannonball and company (Nat, Joe Zawinul, Victor Gaskin & Roy McCurdy) play six funky songs. First Cannonball speaks to the crowd, then the band gets in the groove. The groove is a strength and weakness of the album, with the exception of the title track, the songs don't stand out very strongly from each other. The title track has the most interesting songwriting, though the fact that it was a crossover hit surprises me. It's very good, though. The playing is all top-notch, too.

One of my best cds.......2005-12-30

The title track "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy," alone, is enough reason to buy this album. This recording captures the electricity of this particular show to the extent that the listener may at points truly get a feeling like they're sitting in the room with the band.

Serious fun.......2005-06-30

This is hard bop at its essence. It's funky, fun, exciting, and most of all it's emotionally-charged. I tend to find myself driving to it a lot.

Although the first two tracks are titled "Fun" and "Games," there's a slightly dark edge to some of the soloing here, a bit of that mystery that makes the music of Miles Davis so compelling and captivating. Perhaps that's what makes this music so exciting. It's frequently on the edge of chaos, but never quite tips over into "free" jazz.

Zawinul really takes the spotlight on the title track, with a great spoken intro by Cannonball. This track is pure soul-drenched simplicity. Genius. Let this album be the light that guides you into jazz.

Mercy, Mercy, Mercy.......2004-08-23

Let me just tell you, this is about as exciting as it gets! The recording actually feels like it took place at a famous jazz club on a summer night, but as everyone knows by now, this wasn't so, and it was recorded in Capitol studios. This album finds the quintet at the top of its game, this time featuring Cannonball, his brother Nat on cornet, the spectacular Joe Zawinul on piano, Victor Gaskin on bass, and Roy McCurdy on drums. Of the six exciting numbers, I'd have to say that "Games" is my favorite, another great example of how amazingly underrated Nat was as a composer. The title track has this after-hours mood that you won't be able to find anywhere else. Whenever you're down about something, just put on that track, and I guarantee it will help you deal with whatever your problem is. You can't possibly call yourself a jazz or Cannonball fan and not own this magnificent album, so order it now!

At best, Boy George and his band Culture Club were a dizzy mix of camp, drag, dub, disco, reggae, and new wave. The androgynous George rhumba-ed his way through hits like "I'll Tumble 4 Ya" and crooned with white boy soul through their reggae classic "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" as well as the Delta-inspired "Karma Chameleon." At worst, the band had trouble finding direction and the proper vehicles for his smooth voice, producing clunkers like "Church of the Poison Mind." "Move Away" and "Miss Me Blind"--which actually took its chorus from a Japanese whiskey commercial--were Culture Club at their most brilliant. The band knew it wasn't making fine art and rose to the task of crafting flawless pop gems. George's later work didn't have the sense of fun and abandon as his stint with Culture Club, but his remake of "The Crying Game" again demonstrated those soulful pipes. Also worthy of note from his later career is the Krishna-inspired club hit "Bow Dow Mister." --Steve Gdula

In Praise of Boy George and Culture Club.......2005-11-11

Of the stalwart popsters heralding the second British invasion, Culture Club definitely opened eyes due to openly gay lead singer Boy George, formerly Bow Wow Wow's Lieutenant Lush, whose gender-bending makeup made him better looking feminine. CC's brand of music was infectiously fun dance pop and some great ballads mixed with some soul, enhanced by George's feminine vocals, small wonder that they won 1983's Best New Artist Grammy. But Boy George's heroin problems put a fast end to the group after their fourth album, From Luxury To Heartache. After getting cleaned up, Boy George went solo, still a hit in Britain, but in the US, alas no! Pity, because he came out with pretty great solo material.

Most of the singles are present, from CC's 3 weeks at #2 hit "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me" from their debut Kissing To Be Clever. This ballad highlights George's soul-tinged vocals, as well as the backing section of soul singers and airy, lounging synths. My favourite CC ballad is the tearjerking non-charter "Victims," with its melancholy piano and backing crooners, as well as a midsection that briefly goes into a classic disco crescendo before settling back down.

The upbeat Caribbean-like "I'll Tumble 4 Ya" peaked at #9, demonstrating CC's dance pop skills. However, the non-LP "Time (Clock of the Heart)" which also peaked at #2, incorporated some classic disco synths with a funky bassbeat, telling that illusory theme how time won't give us time, making lovers feel like they got something real.

Guest artists that helped Culture Club include Jermaine Stewart, who was on their #5 dance hit "Miss Me Blind" before he sang about not having to take one's clothes off. Ironically, it was this song that has the lyric "kissing to be clever," and not their debut album. Helen Terry's wailing soulful vocals found their way not only here but on the #10 "Church of the Poison Mind," an infectious dance tune Wham! would've given their blow-dried hair for. Terry later helped George on his solo single "Generations of Love" also included here.

And it's no contest that Colour By Numbers was their best albums, as that yielded four Top Ten singles, including the three-week chart-topper "Karma Chameleon," of how love games make that love touch and go, like the chameleon that camouflages itself to become invisible. George performed this and I believe "Move Away" when he guest-starred on the A-Team episode "Cowboy George."

However, nothing from Waking Up With The House On Fire is present, meaning no "The War Song," one of my favourite CC singles. The sole representative from From Luxury To Heartache was the #12 "Move Away," CC's last Top 40 hit and one of my favourites, a slick number highlighted by a snappy drum machines and bass, but with some downbeat lyrics, made more so as Boy George's drug problems probably contributed to low sales of what was an underrated album.

Two quibbles. One are the spoken bits preceding "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me" and "Sweet Toxic Love." The others are the exclusion of "The War Song," "Black Money," "Mistake No. 3," and the pro-gay rights anthem "No Clause 28," in response to an anti-gay legislation pushed by then British PM Maggie Torture.

Boy George hit #1 in the UK with his reggaefied cover of Bread's "Everything I Own." He branched out, going a bit mystical with the acoustic singalong of "Bow Down Mister," where he called for doing whatever your religion called for you do, with the same soulful CC choruses, with some hare Krishna refrains. Some sitar is present in the bittersweet two-sides-of-the-coin "Sweet Toxic Love," proving he never lost his touch-just his American audience. In it, he embraces yet feels agony over love, "give me some of that sweet toxic love...to lift me up, to drive me insane." Elsewhere, he assertively tells his lover-"I'm not your punch bag, I'm not your floor, you cant walk on me until you get bored." Pretty intelligent stuff.

His last big hit in the US was the #15 title song to The Crying Game, which ranks as one of the best emotionally-racking songs I've ever heard-"first there are kisses, then there are sighs, and then before you know where you are, you're saying goodbye." Per the song, I've asked myself-not the moon-why are there heartaches and tears.

Culture Club was way too progressive for many parts of the U.S., where a clear homophobic element was rife. The name though was just right. Consider their original incarnations-In Praise of Lemmings (bizarre) or Sex Gang Children, (small trouble marketing that).

The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra needs a guitar player!.......2006-11-09

Granted, they only need it for one composition (the last one, "The James Bond Theme") but still, without the guitar it's just not the same. Barry didn't compose this one so I suppose it was a bonus and I shouldn't complain, really. The rest of the music on all the CDs is fantastic. Some of the stuff I had heard before without realizing who had composed it. Very enjoyable, to say the least.

Persuaders Theme!.......2006-03-02

Buy it for the Persuaders theme, probably the best TV theme song ever written.

A Variety Of Classics!.......2005-12-06

John Barry has been composing film scores for over forty years and this is only scratching the surface of his productions. Never mind that the entire set is recorded by the Prague Philharmonic; it's pure to Barry's themes. While John Williams compositions ("Star Wars", etc.) are wild and flamboyant and Jerry Goldsmith's (Hoosier's, etc.) are mood pieces, John Barry crosses over all barriers and is amazingly diverse. Barry has recorded most of the exciting James Bond themes, melodramatic classics like "The Lion In Winter' and moody theme hits like "Midnight Cowboy". He also tugs at the heartstrings with compositions from, "Somewhere In Time", "Frances" and "Out Of Africa". He varies his themes for all types of films and few composers capture it so well.

There is over four hours of music in this set with a colorful and informative booklet.

Incredible Barry Collection.......2004-03-11

Any fan of movies will absolutley love this collection. Being a movie buff I couldn't wait to get this boxed set. Knowing Barry from all the James Bond movies, I did not realize his involvement with so many others. The orchestra is magnificent in all these themes. I'm listening to "High Road to China" right now and I'm drifting in the clouds in a Tiger Moth with Tom Selleck and Bess Armstrong. If you are familiar with a movie it will definitely have you seeing it again, if not the scores are still beautiful. Any fan of classical music will be pleased as well. Travellers will defintitely enjoy it for a long drive. I know from when I use to travel that music like this made the miles float by faster. I highly recommend these four CDs even if you just know a handful of the songs.
