"The weight" is over, pick this up and enjoy Duane's magic!.......2007-06-17

As the author of the Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent" and a former radio disc-jockey, I am often asked to write and or discuss various recordings from the 60's and 70's.

It has been a unanimous vote that the legion of Duane fans prefer the first Anthology. That said in no way does it desecrate the wide range of Duane's talents showcased on Volume 2.

Duane's brilliance can be appreciated even more once you get through a listen to both Anthologies. Many terrific players are locked into one style of playing and it becomes their calling card. The skill displayed by Duane is well noted but we never want to overlook how his talent went in so many directions. He could play the blues, country, folk, and rock but never did a solo or a rhythmic pattern feel inferior in one of those categories.

Duane's presence in a recording studio was good enough to push his fellow musicians into higher expectations. Listen closely to "Dirty Old Man." Lulu had a solid career in the U.K. (1960's) with her combination pop and rhythm and blues vocals. "Dirty Old Man" has her singing the blues and Duane providing the backing for her to confidently explore new territory.

"Matchbox" sounds wonderful with Ronnie Hawkins and Duane's excellent rendition.

"Walk On Gilded Splinters" from Johnny Jenkins is another highlight. Duane's guitar sounds as if it playing only for you. The entire 5:15 is captivating!

When the Duck & The Bear track "Goin' Up The Country" (It is the same song you all know and love from Al Wilson- Canned Heat) first resonates from the speakers you'll feel as you have been lassoed between the tweeters and woofers!

Even if the new math says "1 is greater than 2", two is pretty special!

Enjoy the music and be well,
Craig Fenton

Impressive.......2007-02-01

Not as good as volume #1 but still amazing guitar playing and a great collaboration of other amazing musicians.

Duane is a rock god.......2007-01-12

this one is not as good as the first volume but it still has good ole Duane Allman feel to it

ESSENTIAL COMPANION TO VOL. 1, BUT NOT EQUAL TO IT.........2006-08-23

This volume doesn't reach the heights that the first one does, but it includes some very strong selections. Actually, I'm surprised that both volumes didn't have more songs from the historic "Layla" sessions. Gregg Allman once said that it was Duane's favorite recording session. "Born to be Wild" doesn't feature any significant guitar (Wilson Pickett shines here) and could have been left off in favor of one of the blistering lead guitar duels between Duane and Eric Clapton. The two songs from Duane's own aborted solo album sound great, and are a lot of fun. This volume digs deeper into the session work, and, of course, there is plenty of outstanding acoustic and electric slide guitar on this volume as well, served up the way only Duane could do it.
Definitely Recommended as a companion to Volume 1.

As good as I remember it.......2006-07-04

I had this on vinyl, and really, really liked it. The album disappeared somewhere, and I was glad to find this. Duane Allman had an uncanny knack of being able to sing in many different styles, with many different people, and do them all well.

Customer Reviews:

jazzman.......2006-11-09

Yea, baby this is the real stuff. Bless you Soul Brother
Records for re-issuing these long lost masterpieces on cd.
Dr. Eddie Henderson (he's a psychiatrist) is a BAAAAAAD
horn player. [...]. Most of
the Mwandishi band is here (minus Julian Priester on trom-
bone) along with Pat Gleeson twirling his electronic
knobs. It all meshes so well. So timeless and so forever,
it could have been recorded yesterday. Brilliant music
for open minds and ears. Pure perfection. You go Doc.

A Masterpiece On CD At Last!.......2005-10-11

Realization is one of the most important works from the fusion era, grand in scope and vision, and flawlessly executed. More melodic and ethereal than Miles Davis at his best, Eddie Henderson's Realization has a spiritual center that the Prince of Darkness never achieved (though he came close in Bitches Brew and In a Silent Way). The backup band, essentially the Herbie Hancock band at the time, goes off the charts, and Henderson is ahead of them all the way. Arguably the most beautiful jazz album recorded. Also worth buying is Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi: The Complete Warner Bros. Recordings. Same band. Same sound. Same quality.

Fusion-era electric jazz doesn't get any better than this!.......2005-03-13

Because the two albums that are reissued here -- combined in their entirety onto one CD -- have been out-of-print for so long, REALIZATION and INSIDE OUT are relative unknowns in comparison to the most acclaimed fusion-jazz era CDs by the likes Of Miles Davis, Freddie Hubbard, Weather Report, Herbie Hancock, and others. Yet after several listens to this collection I'm seriously pondering if trumpeter Eddie Henderson may have done the best job of them all in highlighting the strengths and creativity of the fusion era while avoiding its weaknesses and excesses. At the very least the albums collected here should be counted alongside the best 1970s efforts by those other artists I mentioned. It's great to have this music finally available in CD format.

Much of Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi band -- including HH himself on keyboards -- are in on these sessions. Yet given that Henderson wrote most of the tunes and has his own distinct ideas on how to focus the diverse textures that comprise this electric-meets-acoustic jazz approach, it would be unfair to look at these cuts as Hancock sessions issued under Henderson's name (as sometimes might be the case due for contractual or other reasons). As for the music, you get consistently brilliant playing by Henderson, equally strong statements by reedman Bennie Maupin, Hancock, and others, timeless instrumental textures (where you might find a combination of acoustic bass, fender rhodes, and synth washes blending seamlessly together), and a bold mix of funk and straight-up jazz rhythms. Despite all that is going on, there is a uncluttered sense of wide-open space on these tracks. Also, while the musicians are in a progressive frame of mind, the results should be easy-to-grasp for anyone who doesn't have an anti-electric jazz bias.

Absolutely fantastic.......2003-03-21

This is a brilliant CD. You'll think you have died and gone to heaven. If you love electric era Miles or Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi band you'll love this. (Actually this is the Mwandishi band!)

Album Description

Chinese classical music is a much larger field than Western classical music. It covers a huge geographical area as well as a time frame of thousands of years. Although some of China's musical instruments have changed very little in hundreds or thousands of years, others were adapted to Western standards under the influence of Russian musicians during the middle of this century. In some cases, frets were added to non-chromatic instruments and tonalities standardized. The liner notes of The Hugo Masters: An Anthology of Chinese Classical Music contain extensive documentation of the various instruments used in Chinese solo and orchestral music, with descriptions of their history and modifications, as well as an essay to help Western listeners understand the background of Chinese classical music.

The instruments fall into four categories, each constituting a separate compact disk:
Volume One: Bowed Strings
Volume Two: Plucked Strings
Volume Three: Woodwinds
Volume Four: Percussion
These disks are available individually or as a collector's series in a beautifully designed silk boxed set.

The music itself is highly varied and richly emotional. The music paints pictures of China's people, their culture and homeland, and their dreams and their despair. The Hugo Masters: An Anthology of Chinese Classical Music is a joint effort of the Hugo and Celestial Harmonies labels to bring this definitive anthology to listeners worldwide. This is the first time these recordings have become available to audiences outside of Hong Kong. For listeners unfamiliar with Chinese classical music, these works are a powerful and emotional awakening.

Excellent Tones and Vibrant Timbre.......2002-08-26

The music is very touching and moves the soul as the listener ponders, reminisces over the compositions and their titles which some are very graphical and radical to some extent. For instants track one titled "Ambush" played by a pi-pa (Chinese pear shape lute with four strings much similar to the Japanese Biwa). The music is very descriptive in it's tones and timbres and the way that it is strummed like a guitar however with more vibrancy and their I can to some extent visual the whole scene of the ambush taking place with arrows flying and near the end I could hear what sound like the cries of horses and men as they fall or are charging at their enemies from the rapid puckling techinque which makes the pi-pa best played as a solo. I have another version of track 2 "Like Waves Against Sand". The version I have the music is played at a slower pace. Thus the musician has their own style of playing and certain areas their interpretation was very unique expressing what their thoughts and ideaology.

The Sword dance played by the liu ch'in which looks like a smaller version of the pi-pa but with a higher pitch. The music seemed to have this European and Islamic sense in it. Some parts sound nothing like Chinese and I guess the music during the Tang Dynasty was often incorporated new concepts and ideas which makes it sound so unusal. Track 4 played by the zhong-ruan which looks like a guitar with a round sound box playing the "Moonlit Night Of Stone Forest" is my favourite because it starts off slow with the strumming and plucking sound which sounds like a guitar but it becomes more rapid sound more like a Spanish Flemenco guitar as well as the style used by the chapey a traditional Cambodian long neck lute. It's my favourite music because, it's very rapid and I like the strumming effect as the musician is trying to convey his/her idea. This is the first time I have head the ruan being played solo because most of the Chinese music I have contains ruan playing in an orchestra but only playing the chords or playing the bass like a bass in a guitar. Petrel for track 5 is somewhat unusual and I don't like it because it sounds too Western sounding more like a piano rather than a hammered dulcimer called yang ch'in meaning foreign lute. My other favourite track is "Beyond the Great Wall" the music is very mellow and at times has that twanging effect which sounds almost like Japanese or Vietnamese music. The sound of the flute floating over the twanging tones and timbres of the san-hisen a three stringed lute with no fret reminds me the sounds of an American banjo. The music is rapid and tended to slow down and then become rapid again. It's haunting and kind of said as the the sleeve notes suggests. To go beyong the Great Wall from my point of view it might mean to go beyond China's frontier into a foreign and unfamiliar land or it cound mean to go beyond the large palace walls? Since once people were recruited into the palace grounds they would never leave the palatial grounds since they lived and died within the palatial grounds. That's my interpretation. The mood is very sad because, it conveys to me the throughts and feelings of sadness and the pondering of what happens when she does leave what is so familiar to her. That's my interpretation.

Other intruments include the zheng a 16 stringed zither much similar to the Japanese koto. The two pieces are played different the more slow and relaxing one called the "Defeating Song of the Chu" is a very mellow, bitter sweet music as the musician plucks. Zheng is a popular instrument "High Mountains and Flowing Water" such rapid but sweet tones can be make the situtations very dreamy. This is a very gu-zheng piece of music. I hear it in nearly every gu-zheng recording. I have often enjoyed the soothing tones of the zheng and the way that it's being played and pluck and the plucking style could vary as well as often as I have heard. The Southern style of music from Canton (Guandong) and also Chao Zhao AKA Teo Chew music their style is very strong to delicate plucking since there are so many schools with different playing techniques.

The last two compositions performed by the ch'in a seven stringed long black zither has their unusual sound like someone strumming a guitar and plucking the wrong keys or strings. This music is always enjoyable to my ears because they are relaxing and often the music tended to have descriptive tones which seems to be very primordial. Quite relaxing and sooths the soul and was often considered one of many treasures that a scholar in China should possess. The Parting at Yangguan is another famous piece that was written for the ch'in. It was based on a Chinese poem in the Tang Dynasty and it song was called Song of Wei City which was later on adapated into this fine composition. Its sad but melodic and gives that sense of a friend leaving and its a very mournful farewell.

The broken string techinque demonstrated on the zheng is very good and has an effect that a string is being broken in fact it's not.

Brilliant companion to earlier Downtown compilation.......2000-07-14

In 1999, British label Sequel issued a double CD covering Petula's best years. Although it contained 50 tracks, it did not include I couldn't live wthout your love. Now I know why. They saved it for this second double CD, also 50 tracks.

This collection includes a third version of Downtown (a 1976 disco recording) to contrast the two versions on the first collection, plus a number of other songs which were hits in Britain, America or elsewhere but were not included in the first volume (including the American hit The cat in the window and the Australian hit I want to sing with your band).

Also included are a number of cover versions. There are stunning versions of the Beatles classics I want to hold your hand and Fool on the hill. San Franciso (be sure to wear flowers in your hair) may not seem like an obvious song for Petula to record, but she clearly enjoyed the song - her version is every bit as good as Scott McKenzie's original.

There are plenty of intersting original songs too - many of them are known only to Petula fans, though they deserve to be more widely known.
