GREAT SONGS/ OVERLY EXPENSIVE.......2006-08-15

Great music. Too bad that because it is out of print, they stick you hard and deep in price.

Skip the import.......2005-05-24

I haven't listened to the import, I assumed it was the same as the original, with the usual added tracks. But apparently it's missing songs. I can't imagine why someone decided to leave these songs off, but I liked the two songs that another reviewer says are missing, so I won't touch this ripoff. The original however, listed at the top, is one of the best albums in rock history. I'm not rich enough to pay the hugely inflated price, but I hope someone has the sense to release all the Cat Mother albums on CD at a more reasonable cost. These are some of the best albums you'll ever hear, five stars aren't enough. I've been told they're not to everyone's taste, but if you keep an open mind, I doubt you'll ever regret buying any and all Cat Mother albums. They are up there with the Beatles and the Doors in quality, though quite different in style(s). Someone please release these, I don't care if you remaster them or not. I'm still listening to the vinyl ones I bought years ago, and loving them.

One of the Greatest Rock Albums of All Time.......2005-04-11

Absolutely astounding stuff. Hendrix knew what he was doing when he produced this group. Never get tired of hearing these songs and even though it's over 35 years since they were first recorded, they sound as vibrant and inspired as they were way back then. You won't be disappointed.

Among the best rock music there is.......2005-04-02

All four of Cat Mother's albums are on my list of the best rock music ever recorded (OK, it's a big list). This one isn't their best album, but I still listen to it a lot. I pretty much agree with the other reviewers, I can't wait for the other albums to come out on CD. I'm not sure where they get off charging $80.00, but if the price becomes reasonable, I'm buying them all. If you aren't familiar with them, you're missing out.

Completely agree with Clark B........2003-02-18

We must have the other three albums on CD.
These guys were awesome.

Anne Lindsay composes, plays violin and mandolin, and sings beautifully. Most compositions are her own, but she also does the title track "News from Up the Street", originally written by Dan Hicks. I heard the dark smokey ballad while driving home one dark rainy night, playing on CBC Radio. It's good. She also covers a tune by George and Ira Gershwin. I'll leave it to the music scholars to categorize her music. She's assembled an interesting ensemble. There's a lot going on here.

Album Description

Oxingale Records releases cellist Matt Haimovitz' new recording: 6 Suites for Cello Solo by J. S. Bach. Complete on three compact discs, this vibrantly original, yet historically sensitive rendition of the beloved cello suites is accompanied by a 24-page booklet featuring musical commentary on each suite and 15 black and white photographs.

With this recording, Israeli-born Matt Haimovitz makes his first appearance on Oxingale Records. Previously, his six acclaimed recordings on the Deutsche Grammophon label received praise for their deep expressiveness, interpretive insight, flawless technique and burnished tone. His recording, Suites and Sonatas for Solo Cello, was awarded the Grand Prix du Disque (1991) and le Diapason d'Or (1991). Of his debut 1989 recording, Saint-Saens, Bruch, and Lalo with James Levine and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Gramaphone Magazine wrote, "this recording heralds the arrival of a new star in the cello firmament." For GRP Records Matt Haimovitz also recorded two improvisations with jazz bassist Rob Wasserman for the album, Trios, which features Jerry Garcia and Branford Marsalis, among others.

Matt Haimovitz' 6 Suites for Cello Solo by J. S. Bach, complete on three compact discs, was recorded in the Plainfield Congregational Church in Plainfield, Mass. In his program note Haimovitz writes: "the 250th anniversary of Bach's death on July 28th, 2000 inspired the schedule of the recording sessions - July 10 to 13 and August 6 to 7 of that year. I found the sanctuary of Plainfield's historic hilltown church to be an ideal ambiance that both nurtured the `cello's natural tone and allowed space for the sound to be sculpted." The recording was produced by Luna Pearl Woolf, who, as a composer herself, brought her insight into the compositional process to the production. Engineering was provided by Mark Thayer, whose 20 years of experience recording classical, jazz and acoustic folk music brings a warmth and intimacy to the final sound. The album was mastered by David Glasser, who has mastered 45 Grammy-nominated records and received a Grammy for mastering and restoration of the critically acclaimed "Anthology of American Folk Music."

Period performance need not apply.......2006-07-28

The idea that the Bach cello suites should only be played on a baroque cello because this was the sound that Bach "supposedly" heard and was inspired by is not only ludicrous it is also a blind and ignorant opinion which has no basis in music history. Are you seriously telling me that the only way to hear Bach's early keyboard works is on a baroque harpsichord or organ, Mozart's horn concerti on a natural horn, Bach's orchestral works with baroque cornets and hunting horns? Have you ever actually listened to these instruments? Perhaps they contain some interest to antiquers looking for hisorical importance but certainly not to musicians looking for beautiful sounds and precise tuning. We have made advances in instrumental design in fields of material choices, tuning considerations, and accoustical manipulation and you are seriously telling me that none of these efforts are valid to the performance of music that came before them? Year after year we are subjected to recordings with horrible balance, disgusting tone, shoddy intonation and limited musicality, qualities which are supposed to be ignored, since the performance is on period instruments, an "authentic" reproduction. If we do not allow our modern efforts to aid in our instrumental design, and therefore bring new possibilities of beauty and precision to performances of new and old music then where are we to go from here? Are professional instrumentalists to own 12 different instruments to suit the nationality, time period and genre of the music they perform? There is a definite difference between preferring the sound of a baroque cello and characterizing more modern cellos as bastardizations of this design when performing music that came before them. Matt Haimovitz performs these suites with fantastic phrasing, intense emotional concentration, precise tuning and with some more modern performance liberties. To ignore these qualities because you are supposedly offended by the lack of "authenticity" of the instrument used means you are not a musician, rather, you are a bastardization of a musician. This is a fantastic recording that will become an important recording in the recorded legacy of these pieces.

stop mixing contexts..........2006-04-29

why are you reviewers trying to disguise the fact that all this "modern" cellists ( yo-yo ma, rostropovitch, and so on) are doing a good job playing very heavy an too romantic cellos?...imagine tchaikowsky?s violin concerto performed on a baroque violin, with messa di voce,short stroke bowing, baroque ornaments and tempi!!!!.... so this guys are doing the other way around...all this performances were born dead...these works came alive on a particular sound and permormance fashion by bach?s genius, every thing that goes beyond this simple bases are lost.

Haimovitz Attacks.......2004-04-26

Cellists seem to treat Bach's suites for solo cello with a depth of reverence that can render them rather bland. They figuratively kneel down and bow. They merely touch the hem of the garment. Haimovitz's approach is to attack the music in a much more practical way that seems to challenge Bach and this music to prove they are worthy of the pedestal they've been placed on. Where others I've heard stand back and gaze in awe and wonder, Haimovitz walks up to the icon, wraps it in a bear hug, pulls it down off the pedestal, tumbles to the floor and wrestles with it.

The effect is wondrous. You'll pay attention to this rendition.

A Fine Pizz of Work.......2004-02-29

Matt Haimovitz's recording of the Bach cello suites is not for the traditionalist. Mr. Haimovitz scales the sacred Everest of the cello repertoire blazing an unfamiliar but distinctive trail to the mountaintop. His interpretation is filled with surprise from end to end. He never plays the repeat passages the same way twice, varying tempos and applying vibrato creatively yet thoughtfully, in way that grabs your attention and then neither lets it wander off nor affronts it.

Haimovitz's reading of the Bach suites may not have the transcendent quality of Yo-Yo Ma's 1997 recording on Sony, or aristocratic beauty of Pierre Fournier's 1961 recording on Polydor, or the technical wizardry of Pieter Wispelwey's 1998 baroque version on Channel Classics, but it's in a class alone for its willingness to take radical departures from the conventional boundaries of interpretation of this great work, including a pizzicato rendering of the repeat of the second minuet in Suite #2. None of the several dozens of editions of the Bach suites authorizes such an extreme break from convention for the right-hand, but since no scoring of the suites can be found in Bach's pen anyway, Haimovitz gets a pass based on artistic merit alone. He pulls it all off warmly, getting deep inside the music, and not compromising by trying to squeeze it all into the standard 2-disk format. The 65 minutes he gives to the last two suites is longer than any other version I've heard, a deeply introspective account of #5 and unusually deliberative reading of #6.

It's not uncommon these days to be confronted by in-your-face stylings of the great classics of string music, typically from string soloists who delight in breaking, smart-alecky, from custom. Mr. Haimovitz has managed in this beautifully recorded interpretation to find a fresh approach to a revered body of music that remains faithful to good taste.

Fine recording of some of the greatest pieces of all time........2003-02-09

A truly fine recording of some of the greatest music of all time. It is well recorded with a closely miked somewhat sonorous sound (recorded in a local church) which works for me every time on Cello recordings, though others may prefer a more clinical sound. I give it four stars only to allow for my deep affection for other recordings of these landmark pieces by other cellists such as Rostropovich, Fournier, Bylsma and Maisky. I am looking forward to hearing it live. Mr Haimovitz seems to be playing the Cello suites often in fairly unconventional settings (coffeehouses, rock clubs etc.)

A perfect example of how multi-dimensional rock can be........1998-07-19

Even though Jerry Granelli is at home in the jazz section of record stores, the UFB (two guitars and one bass) provides a competent framework for blending the sophistication of jazz with the energy and rawness of rock n'roll. From the reworkings of songs by Bruce Hornsby, Thelonius Monk, and Ry Cooder, to brilliant originals like "The Swamp," Jerry Granelli delivers a sophisticated groove that retains a definite grooviness. This CD, along with every other CD that Jerry Granelli has put together, is played with a reverence for the power of swing without allowing it to limit his range of expression.

NOT the full original album.......2007-04-25

This import CD does NOT include all of the tracks from the original Polydor LP album. However the full original was reissued on CD in 1997 on the Polygram label, and while out of print, it's available from Amazon Marketplace sellers at a lower price than the one source listed above for this version.

The Polygram CD gets ***** from me, but this incomplete import version is to be avoided.

Cat Mother was one of the great rock jam dance bands of the late sixties and early seventies. I was a big fan of Cat Mother when they lived and worked out of the Mendocino Coast in northern California. Their live music was always better than their studio recordings. Everybody got up and danced when Cat Mother played! The Street Giveth was Cat Mother's first album, and it was recorded before they moved to California in late 1969. They made three more LP albums on Polydor during their California period, but unfortunately none of them have been reissued on CD.

I included several photos of the band in my book Mendocino In The Seventies, and they are included in the sample photos which you can easily find and view online with a google search on just the two words: Mendocino seventies.

ive still got the original polydor vinyl. excellent condition. charlies waltz-written by charlie chin is not included on this cd. neither is "probably wont", "bramble bush", or "track in a". the waltz and probably wont are key omissions. Great album-produced by jimi hendrix. the lyrics to verse one of waltz are:
she stood in the street holding her hat in her hands, i think i understand why shes smilin at me, the whole world can see from the sandals that she wears to the flower in her hair, how shes leading me on with a smile just like dawn, with an eye like a diamond, a walk like a whisper. shes gone.
oh how i cried.........

Strike A Match And Light Another.......2006-01-15

We got to the show late,made it to our seats in the dark.The opening act was flooding the War Memorial with music I never heard before. A giant screen behind the stage boiled with lava lamp patterns.I was rushing so hard I couldn't move until they were done.After that Jimi, Mitch,and Noel came out and made that Spanish Castle Magic work on us.After the show I wondered "who are those guys" who opened the show. They were Cat Mother & The All Night Newsboys.May, 1969.I bought the album,and I'm looking at my CD of it right now.Not the travesty offered above, but the 11 track original release,every one is a gem.And I've been listening to "Albion Doo-wah" and "Cat Mother" on a CD I had made from a 30 year old cassette.I would not to hesitate to say that Cat Mother is the best band to come out of the 60's, or say that they are the best Rock & roll band ever.Just take tracks 4& 5- to go from an all out rocker like "How I Spent My Summer" to a rare gem like "Marie" is an indication of their unmatched talent and performance. If The Band had someone who could actually sing they still couldn't touch CM. I urge all you Cat fans to write Gordon Anderson at Collector's Choice Music,5225 Wilshire Blvd. Ste. 721 LA, CA 90036, and tell him to get CM out on CD for all of us lucky enough to know them and the poor deprived souls who don't.It is a shame and a sin that CM is in digital limbo.For the record, here's the tracks on "The Street Giveth...and the Street Taketh Away"-- 1-Good Old Rock 'N' Roll 2-Favors 3-Charlie's Waltz 4-How I Spent My Summer 5-Marie 6-Probably Won't 7-Can You Dance To It? 8-Bramble Bush 9-Bad News 10-Boston Burglar 11- Track In "A"{Nebraska Nights} And I think I'll get "Street" in my safe deposit box to keep Karen Lawrence {1994,Blue By Nature} company.If you don't know her, I wouldn't be telling any tales outa school to claim that she is {one of the}best {female} vocalists to rave on R'n'R and belt out the blues that is around today.Just ask RD, he really does know what's best!!

wonderful excursions into pianistic beauty,simple and terse.......2001-09-10

The pianistic vocables is utterly useful here. Finnissy is perhaps the most prolific creator for the piano within eyeshot of the current era. Here interestingly he has surrounded himself with aesthetic purveyors at seemingly opposite ends of the spectrim,however Finnissy in notes and interviews revelas his affinity the dialectic, the opaque distances that co-inhabit the dual enovi between complexity and simplicity. It is not a contentious point, for it's all relative, Although Howard Skempton would disagree I beleive for the ultimate effect, the effrontery purveyed with deeply complex musical lanaguage has entire lifeworld of contents. Well, the wonderful 'Erinicons' of Skempton are here somewhat of a seminal place in his creativity. Whenever an accretion of musical gesture occurs that signals a means of complexity, and here he have thirds harmonic motions, which filled greater surfaces of cognitive spaces, than relatively speaking Skemptons, 'preludes',where the musical import occurs over longer durational lengths, well the entire work, for all of Skempton piano works are short excursions into the poetic.Skempton's voice is taciturn,distant,he allows his music's beauty a mystery which he doesn't place there, or we refuse to see the vision of his subjectivity fully.
Chris Newman was also born of the Scratch Orchestra ambience,the libertarian freedoms conceptual music wrought. He also, although for quite different reasons than Skempton limits his music to two or one voices,also threadbare, and direct, with minimal gestures. Newman's music is more 'dirtied',more like from the pub,intended for discourse,and social intercourse and developed than Skempton's, where in Skempton's we feel and sense the introspection more strongly, pure as spring water, the gentle breeze caressing a window curtain, or the soft falling of snow quietly on the mountainsides, hanging in the cool,forbidding air of the Alps.
Finnissy also joins this aesthetic to this simplicity, however there is always greater incidence and frequency of gesture in Finnissy,his genetic code craves high incidence,forever through composed filled up spaces, Many times quite interestingly he limits his music however to single threadbare lines in the treble voices, with a plethora, an affinity for melodic ornamentation. Something he learned painstakingly from his explorations into the world of folk gestures.
Finnissy's 'Autumnall' is fast becoming one of my favorite works, exploring this threadbare beauty.
