5 out of 5 stars Everybody knows.......2007-04-12

1975's finest. Perhaps one up- or mid-tempo tune short of an all-the-way (explosion, fireworks) masterpiece (that closing track is a touch maudlin), Between The Lines nevertheless blows out Ian's nearest "rivals" (Carole King, Billy Joel, Stevie Nicks and, dare I say, Paul Simon) and makes a serious claim for one of the 70's preeminent essential LP artifacts.

The success here, I believe, is that Ian (already a songwriting master by '69) keeps the chords simple enough to let her mesmerizing blasts of lyrical wisdom run their course. And there is sagacity, however embittered, on every track. The arrangements are smart, providing properly discreet shading to Ian's soul-inflected folk (and, occasionally)cabaret musings.

Ian sings a mean, low-key revelation. Even when her lyrical and sonic milieu is the tawdry dancehall ("Bright Lights and Promises"), she never showboats. Ian has the inspired ice of Peggy Lee. "The Come On," a deeply dire meditation on cheap love and low esteem, never lapses into sobbing gymnastics. Ian just delivers the bad news like an X-ray. Perfect every time.

There is a fiber-optic perfection to Ian's poetic observations. Male radio programmers and DJs were compelled by burning telephone lines, not market imperatives, to air "At Seventeen" - a startling runaway hit (prefiguring the later, bolder success of Suzanne Vega's "Luka"). It was simply heavy lasers set to kill. Ian didn't hit the mark, she expunged it.

What an artist.

5 out of 5 stars A great memory!.......2007-01-15

Listening to this CD brings back memories of my "younger" years. It still is as pertinent now in its wording as it was back then...just in a different way. A great rememberance.

5 out of 5 stars Between the Lines.......2007-01-10

One of the best voices God ever created. A mix of rock and easy listening to words and music you can understand. Every line connects with the very core of every human being that listens to her. Janis Ian is a true voice in the music industry.

4 out of 5 stars THE LAST OF THE '70's SONGWRITERS.......2006-02-26

Some of Janis Ian's wordplay could make a bad poet blush. Take this line from her adolescent hell signature song, "At Seventeen", a tune betrayed by this bizarre description of teenage alienation, "Their small town eyes will gape at you, (gaping eyes?), in dull surprise when payment due, succeeds accounts received at seventeen". How's that, a teenage accountant? Or this from, "Tea and Sympathy", "Pass the tea and sympathy, for the good old days are long gone, we'll drink a toast to those, who most believe in what they've won." Never have I wanted to drink a toast to those, who most believe in what they've won. But just when you want to file these feminist minded, man-eating compositions under aimless testements, Ian slam bangs the finish with two monumental orchestrated numbers questioning the choice between laying down to the death of a lifetime with your lover, or the freedom artistic pursuit and single-hood can offer, making all her previous meandering diatribes sound meaningful. Here the album stands up and says hello, and the crescendoing climax calls you back for another listen. Some nice touches here and there as well, including a brooding cello solo at the end of, "Water Colors".

5 out of 5 stars Awesome walk back in time........2005-07-13

I owned this album (vinyl) in the 70s and it's as great today as it was then. Was very glad to find it in CD, and can now share this incredible music with my kids. Thanks!

4 out of 5 stars Two tracks I really like.......2007-07-21

The Mission Impossible theme is performed well.
The Fireball theme is actually much improved on this version. I prefer the orchestra and the vocals over the original.

2 out of 5 stars Quantity Over Quality.......2007-01-15

As a musician myself, I know too well that one of the most important ingredients in ANY performance (live or recorded) is passion. The recordings here generally lack the same passion and sheer drama of the originals. Much of the instrumentation has been reduced to a cheezy, thin, plastic synthesized replica. The performances are simply a watered-down lackluster version of the classic originals. If it were not for the sheer volume of tracks compiled here, I would have rated the comp only "one star".

3 out of 5 stars Mediocre.......2006-05-17

The sound quality for this collection isn't much better than the samples offered by Amazon.

4 out of 5 stars One Hundred Greatest TV Themes.......2005-08-06

I have watched almost all the shows that are on these 4 cd's. Many were made before I started watching TV. Most I've seen once or twice before.

4 out of 5 stars Pretty close to original recordings.......2005-07-24

Definitely not as good as the originals. You'll probably notice the slight differences since it's stuff you saw and listened to every week or everyday in reruns growing up, but it's still an amazing collection.

Album Description

"As clean and airy and sophisticated and disciplined as post-modern progressive jazz gets." - JAZZTIMES

Ralph Alessi has received a lot of praise over the past fifteen years--as a sideman for Steve Coleman, Uri Caine, Don Byron, and more--but his career as a leader is just beginning! Through Ravi Coltrane is the son of Alice and John Coltrane, his successful career is based not on his name but on his fully rounded sound and individual way of playing.

4 out of 5 stars a review that uses musical terms pretentiously and with probable inaccuracy.......2007-04-03

For a trumpet-led quartet with a lyrical sound and traces of classical influence, try Ralph Alessi and his group This Against That.
While Alessi has played as a sideman for Steve Coleman (alto sax), Uri Caine (piano) and Don Byron (clarinet), among others, *Look* is his fourth album as a leader. In several compositions here, Alessi demonstrates a preference for ostinato and diminuendo; for example, in "Hands," two repeated measures gradually decelerate at the finish to a slow fade.
On four of the 12 tracks, Ravi Coltrane (tenor sax) joins Alessi; in the title tune, their two horns interplay sinuously over Andy Milne's insistent piano. On "Lap Nap," Milne contributes staccato piano notes that transform into a funky solo. Drew Gress uses his bow to coax eerie mourning sounds out of his bass on "Platform Velvet."
On this Between the Lines release, though, Alessi's creative oscillations with Coltrane are what to *Look* for. (If you download just one track, make it "Old Beady Eyes.")

5 out of 5 stars With Look, his second outing featuring his band This Against That . . ........2007-03-11

Ralph Alessi has found his métier. Alessi has always displayed huge chops and an interesting concept. The problem has been that he has struggled to find the right approach to solving the basic jazz enigma: how to make a genuine contribution to the music without being either too weird (Hissy Fit) or too esoteric (Vice & Virtue, Phfew). With his new quartet, This Against That, he's landed on just the right format to optimally display his considerable talents, and his new disc, Look, has all the earmarks of an instant classic.

His band is certainly a formidable one. Let's start with pianist Andy Milne, a player of whom I have only slight knowledge. The Canadian-born, Brooklyn-based pianist and keysman not only leads the Nu Jazz band, Dapp Theory, but has played extensively with Steve Coleman and other M-Bass Collective members, Ravi Coltrane, and Carla Cook. I really love his piano concept: very mysterioso/minimalist, but capable of stunning solo statements. Check out his work on "The Tooth Fairy and Pistol Pete" to see what I mean.

Bassist Drew Gress certainly needs no introduction to anyone at all familiar with cutting edge jazz. A member of the brilliantly quirky Claudia Quintet, lead artist on the widely praised outings 7 Black Butterflies and Spin and Drift, as well as five other discs, contributor to the music of artists as diverse and renowned as Tim Berne, Don Byron, Uri Caine, Bill Carrothers, Fred Hersch, Tony Malaby, Mat Maneri, Ben Perowski, and others, Gress is among the foremost practitioners of his instrument alive today. One of the things he brings to this music is a thorough knowledge of both classic and "out" jazz, plus the ability to move with perfect naturalness in each. His solos are masterpieces of economy and imagination.

This is certainly Mark Ferber's greatest outing. Given room to stretch out, he's all over his kit, now driving, now providing coloration, now percussively shaping everything around him. I also like how up-front he's recorded. Really, he sounds like about 10 great Downtown drummers all wrapped up into one, but still maintaining his own distinct approach and personality.

Leader Alessi has matured greatly since I last heard him (on Hissy Fit, I think), especially in the areas of band leadership and composition. He's always had a wonderfully warm yet dry trumpet sound, thoroughly modern, but steeped in the history of the instrument. For me the high point of his playing on this disc come in the four pieces that include Ravi Coltrane on tenor sax. Their quirky, edgy, harmonically daring interaction always intrigues even as their incredibly precise intonation astounds. Yet there's nothing either aridly academic or out-for-out's-sake unapproachable about their playing: just joyously eccentric conversation unfailingly listenable.

But it's the compositions (all by Alessi) that make the strongest impression. Far removed from both the hackneyed approach of wallowing in past jazz glories (especially, God forbid, hard bop) and superficially appropriating hare-today-goon-tomorrow pop-music ephemera (hip-hop, lounge, house), this music rings with hugely original and completely diverse compositional strategies, as if Tin Hat met the Claudia Quintet.

Certainly the finest music ever purveyed by that generally avant-garde label, Between the Lines, and some of the most provocative, listenable, and endearing music of the new century. This is what jazz is all about: forward-looking, but rooted in the past; edgy, but accessible; brilliant, but friendly. Absolutely not to be missed.

4 out of 5 stars Lucked into this album.......2007-06-06

I lucked into this at one of my local department stores. I was favorably impressed with the band. Some of the songs I consider favorites.

like anything else its' hit and miss, but there some nice pop rock going on here.

1 out of 5 stars "Better Be Good To Me" NOT THE FULL ALBUM VERSION.......2007-03-11

I have to rate the "Spider LP" a "5" but I rate this CD release a "1". This terrific original version of "Better Be Good To Me" is butchered for this release. Come on guys.

"BETTER BE GOOD TO ME" This is the ORIGINAL VERSION....I was going to say different but I really meant better than Tina's version sorry Tina nothing personal. Get the LP it's a nice press. A great early morning dance song. Thank you Lance Wise for turning me on to it.

5 out of 5 stars Old Memories!.......2007-03-10

This is such a great collection...It also made me go out and get Hollys solo stuff!!! Lots of great songs that are fun to rock out to...Worth every penny!

3 out of 5 stars Uneven.......2006-11-05

This is a reissue of Spider's first two albums. The first 10 songs (their first album) are brilliant! There's heaps of energy, good songwriting, and the *amazing* voice of Amanda Blue. The band includes Anton Fig (now the drummer in David Letterman's band) and Holly Knight (one of the top songwriters of the 1980s.) This was one of my favorite albums on vinyl and it holds up extremely well today.

The last 10 songs are less than spectacular - probably the result of a band returning to the studio before they were ready, with second-string songs. While the musicianship is good, the recording lacks energy - and the songs just aren't as good.

There is a slight technical problem with songs 5 & 10 - about a 30 second silence at the end of each song (these were at the end of each side of the vinyl album. Hmmm...) I used an mp3 editor to remove the silences & return the tracks to their original lengths for iTunes - most people aren't going to be able to do this.

Buy this CD for the first 10 songs - you won't be disappointed. Just ignore that stuff at the end.

4 out of 5 stars A great secret of the era..........2006-02-12

Spider were not unkowns, they had a radio hit or two. But over time, the quality of these two albums has been emphasized by the effect the band had later on: Covers of these songs became definitive singles for other artists - particularly John Waite's on "Change" and Tina Turner's "Better Be Good to Me". Drummer Anton Fig became legendary for his nightly appearances with David Letterman. And keyboardist/writer Holly Knight had scores of Top Ten singles written for other artists: Animotion, Pat Benatar, etc.

These two albums on CD are a long-realized dream for the many avid fans of Spider. They may not have been "cutting edge" of anything, but they were a SOLID rock band with pop-accessible songs. Sounding somewhat like a cross between Cheap Trick, the Producers, and Fleetwood Mac, they mixed some neat new-wave aspects with 70's hard rock. Ballads were also a strong suit, and there are certainly #1 hits hidden in here for other artists looking for that perfect "cover" to do...

4 out of 5 stars A Mike Stern Fave.......2001-02-01

I'm a drummer and follow David Weckl where'r he goes. So I knew this album would be good from the start. I also find this album to be one of Mike Stern's best ('Is what it is' is another excellent one) - it blends the best of his melodic (mostly minor tendencies) with the occasional leadfoot on the distortion pedal to tread a very interesting jazz/rock line.

My only reservation is Mike's solos can get to be a little in sameness - even live at the Continental I was almost otherwise distracted at times wishing he'd get on with it and make a point.

Nevertheless excellent jazz/fusion. Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Mike is constantly playing "on fire" wheter on cd or live!.......1999-04-29

I own every album Mike did on his own and hopoefully most of the stuff he played on. His commitment to Music is always a priority. This Album features some great tunes and playing/A less busy Weckl creates a perfect cushion for Mike to explode. My favorite tune was "on the Sunnyside". I just got back from a burning show in Boston...Mike along with the band set things on fire. Few words about "Spajazzy" a band he played with on their first cd: the album is great and Mike sound even a little different...Check it out!

5 out of 5 stars the best rhytm-section I have ever heard.......1998-12-23

Mike`s playing the guitar is very exciting for me. I am a drummer and 1 am very fascinated by Dave Weckl`s drumming. The grooves are very good and they combine it with a lot of jazz-elements. I like this record!!! Yours Bernie(15 Years)

    Aaron is one of the few diamonds in the "rough" of new Country music. As always, Aaron's voice will knock you over with it's style and pure force. True Blue Country!

    2 out of 5 stars Disappointing!.......2006-05-12

    This CD was released in 1995 and the record company who released it gave me the chance to evaluate it. Laurie Z plays New Age music that will remind you of Yanni. Unfortunately, that's where all the comparisons end. I felt the CD was lethargic and didn't have much punch. It was routine and didn't give me much vibes. There are some moments, though. I enjoyed the track, "My Perfect Love". It displayed her potential with her beautiful acoustic piano playing. But then the rest of her album got too "high tech". I guess you could call it music for the times. It was released more than 10 years ago, so time has not been good to its evolvement. Laurie Z probably has some better CD's out there. Just not this one.

    I learned about Laurie Z a number of years ago when she was playing at The South Bay Galleria in Redondo Beach California. She is a gracious and classy lady that plays with great skill, passion and creativity.

    "Life Between the Lines" is a must have album. With both classical and new age sounds you will love it.

    5 out of 5 stars Life Between The Lines - Laurie Z.......2001-03-28

    Laurie Z's Life Between The Lines is one of my all time favorite CD's! I have owned that fabulous piece of work for probably 8 years and I can say it is a "timeless" CD. The variation of songs and the compositiion of each and every one is so beautiful. I never get tired of it.

    I have played her music in my clothing stores , sitting down to dinner with friends, planting flowers in my garden, driving in my car. It is a must have CD!

    5 out of 5 stars from Solo Piano Publications.......2000-07-17

    I first discovered Laurie Z.'s music on her solo piano album, "Roots", which I love, and then worked my way backwards to her earlier work. All three albums are very different from each other, but all showcase Laurie's passion and love for what she is doing. An innovator at heart, Laurie is also a master at improvisation who always creates new music in concert from audience members's suggestions for subject and key signature. Always on the move, Laurie tours all over the country doing concerts in halls, clubs, music stores, book stores, and outdoor festivals. For many of these festivals, Laurie performs with her band, and the band is included along with Laurie's assorted synthesizers on "Life Between the Lines".

    This CD includes some of my all-time favorite Laurie-tunes - the title song with its classical/rock dichotomy, the tragic "From the Diary of a Redhead", "The Mayan Wavelength", "Trouble in Paradise", "The Time Dance", the funky "A Change of Heart", as well as one of Laurie's signature pieces, "My Perfect Love". This is truly one of my favorite albums and one of my favorite artists!

    5 out of 5 stars Listening to Laurie Z.: An Extraordinary Musical Journey.......2000-06-23

    Have you ever wished you could express your life through music and capture all the big events, everyday moments, and inmost thoughts and feelings in a bounty of sound? Well, wish no more because keyboard genius Laurie Z. has done it for all of us with her extraordinary CD, Life Between the Lines. Listening to its magic is like meeting someone new and feeling as though they've been your best friend all your life. Every track is a gem capturing some aspect of the experiences we all share while trying to live as individuals on a crowded planet. Laurie's uncanny capacity to balance technical virtuosity with exquisite melodies and textures glows from every selection. The title track bristles with the easy grace and power of a summer sun hurling itself through the vastness of early afternoon. Running In Circles dances with all the varied moods of a long and crowded day, busy yet ultimately joyful. The song A Delicate Balance poses those questions that come to a person alone on a rainy night around 2 AM, queries about what our lives mean, how we got to be who and where we are, how we stay there, and why. The closing track, Miss You Blues, evokes the sweet longing of hearts apart even as its infectious, optimistic groove promises that love is stronger than any kind of distance. Each of these 12 tracks is its own sonic universe, at once intimately familiar and delightfully surprising to both ears and spirit. The Mayan Wavelength takes the listener on a mystical electronic jungle journey reminiscent of Laurie's acclaimed debut CD, Window to the World. My Perfect Love, a stunning, achingly beautiful piano solo, gives the listener a good idea of the marvels to be found on Laurie's latest CD, Roots. Considered for eight Grammy nominations, and engineered and co-produced by the legendary Paul Grupp (Get out your favorite music of the last 25 years. You'll probably find that Paul's played a key role in creating it.), Roots is a tour-de-force solo piano feast showcasing Laurie's intuitive gift for hauntingly beautiful melodies and powerful arrangements. Some of the tracks were even spontaneously composed in the studio, a truly prodigious feat given the sweet fire and innate rightness of her sweeping keyboard poetry.

    The bottom line is this: Come, listen to the music of Laurie Z. You'll hear your own life between the lines and meet a brand new best old musical friend.
