Vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson, who successfully translated John Coltrane's "sheets of sound" approach to the vibes, became the acknowledged master of that instrument when Milt Jackson died in 1999. A veteran of many historic Blue Note dates, a bit player in the movie Round Midnight, and founding member of the SF Jazz Collective, Hutcherson calls this mostly ballads CD, with pianist Renee Rosnes, bassist Dwayne Burno, and drummer Al Foster, his "love record." All of his powers are evident here: his melodic fluency, vast harmonic imagination, and his incredible ability to make the vibes sing. Like Lester Young, Hutcherson knows how to melodically tell a story, as evidenced by his shimmering takes on the Latin-tinged "Ode to Angela," and "I Wish I Knew," his sumptuous piano duet on the Bernstein/Sondheim classic "Somewhere," and his heartbreaking, solo number "I'll Be Seeing You," Hopefully we'll be seeing and hearing from this genius more often. --Eugene Holley, Jr.Customer Reviews:
Like Fine Wine.............2007-07-19
Having caught five sets of Bobby's band over the last year from locales as distant as Vancouver to New York I was fortunate to have gained an appreciation for what was to become the CD, For Sentimental Reasons. Little did I know when I caught Bobby at Dizzy's Club Coca Cola last November that he and the band were recording the new CD. I think one of the sets that stands out the most for me was a Saturday night at the Blue Note during his CD release party this past June. What a treat.
The song, For Sentimental Reasons, is just that....sentimental. Ode to Angela is a breezy workout by the band, a great driving song. Listen to how Renee fills in the spaces around Bobby's playing on Embraceable You, Dwayne and Al provide a tasty backdrop. Along Came Betty steps out from the ballads, it is a pleasant groove that builds on the solos of Bobby and Renee. Somewhere is reminiscent of Manhattan Moods, that great duo record with McCoy Tyner. Who can help but hum the tune to Jitter Bug Waltz, it is contageous. Renee's solo builds and builds until she becomes the perfect foil for Bobby's solo and the two climb to soaring heights together, ultimately to leave us with that melody. I have always liked Al Foster's playing, especially on Skyline, Bobby's last solo effort, but his cymbal work live on Jitterbug Waltz is outstanding. What Are You Doing The Rest of Your Life - the notes land like dew drops - it's as if the song were written for Bobby. Don't Blame Me, like track four, steps away from the ballads and has a great walking bass line. Spring is Here, beautiful. I Wish I Knew makes me wish Bobby would do a samba/bossa type CD, great tempo and cymbal embellishments from Al. Finally, I'll Be Seeing You....Bobby playing with four malletts....exquisite.
Yes I am a fan of Bobby's, his music, his band and particularily, For Sentimental Reasons. His solo releases are like fine wine...better with age and to be savoured.
Plenty of beautiful love ballads !! .......2007-06-29
Thus vibes maestro Bobby Hutcherson, perfectly summing up the considerable appeal of his latest album, on which he's joined by a subtly responsive rhythm section pianist Renee Rosnes, bassist Dwayne Burno and drummer Al Foster on what the vibesman himself describes as 'a whole album of ballads and love songs'.
Ever since he appeared on the scene in the 1960s, the music of Bobby Hutcherson - "master vibes player" - has come in two parts. One is tough and abstract, the other, well, softer. It's still like that, and this record certainly catches Hutcherson No 2, the "romantic".
Essentially, it's a ballad session, though occasionally jogging into medium tempo for a piece such as Fats Waller's Jitterbug Waltz.
The mood is helped considerably by the rhapsodic piano of Renee Rosnes.
Even in this melting mood, Hutcherson's sound still has his trademark, slightly extra-terrestrial, feel, with a note sometimes left to hang in the air like a hovering UFO.
But he has seldom seemed closer to his predecessor among great vibes virtuosi, the elegant Milt Jackson of the MJQ.
Culminating in a gorgeous, softly glowing solo rendition of "I'll Be Seeing You", the album showcases the limpid elegance and delicately burnished power of Hutcherson on achingly tender material such as "Embraceable You" and "(I Love You) For Sentimental Reasons", but also includes spritelier fare such as a sparkling mid-tempo visit to Harold Land's "Ode to Angela" and an arresting version of Fats Waller's "Jitterbug Waltz".
The focus throughout is mainly on Hutcherson's understated power and apparently effortless grace, but Rosnes also shines; as the great man says: "Renee knows so well how to keep things open and flowing just by all the varied harmonic suggestions and implications of what she plays"...
Another classy, intensely musicianly album from Kind of Blue.

Ronstadt's credibility grab.......2007-03-22
(Note: Elektra hasn't put the 'trilogy' together in one package yet, but I'm reviewing as if they have.)
Poor Nelson Riddle - had to DIE to finally get his picture on the album art!
He's the main artist working the magic here, and he does a lovely job updating his sound for the seductive 80's - especially that glistening electric guitar!
Ronstadt was SUCH a major radio menace with all her soulless pop hits, it's a shocker she got the courage to take on the Sinatra songbook - and miracle she does as well as she does.
No, she doesn't have Sinatra's vulnerability, dignity or pathos (who does?), she's got her technical precision, though - and that's a fine enough basis for the endeavor.
Ronstadt is weakest on the big, bad suicide songs ("Goodbye," "'Round Midnight," etc.) but comes off charming as all get-out on the fluffier ditties ("Falling In Love Again," "For Sentimental Reasons," etc.). Swoon.
Consider this cordial music, dreamy music, lingerie music. It's credible, even delicious at times.

Sentimental for Zevon.......2007-04-29
My Favorite WZ Studio Album.......2006-11-11
Great rocking record. Enjoy.
"THERE'S A SADNESS IN THE HEART OF THINGS".......2005-02-18
On vacation this past July, I heard SENTIMENTAL HYGIENE in a store and bought a copy; it having reminded me of my youth and those daze of "Liquid Sedation."
I've never listend to ZEVON for the music. He's not terrifically "musical" and his sandpaper-edged vocals lack range. It's Zevon for the lyrics; for his wry take on life. He was Rock's Grim Reaper on Laughing Gas! Zevon's writing didn't just put angst on the table, it presented it as the entree, but usually with rich jocularity sauce ladled over the top for seasoning. A 12 ounce glass of arsenic. . . .with a "twist" of humor (or perhaps that ought to be, "with a twisted humor.") He always gave us the WAR-IN-ZEVON : that interior knockdown, drag-out struggle of a slightly warped man in a totally insane world.
Overall, this is the warped boy's hardest rocking disc. After a much publicized stint in rehab for drug and alcohol abuse, this was a "comeback" album designed to show that he had indeed gotten up off the canvas swinging! For me, the standout tracks are :
BOOM BOOM MANCINI -- A thunderous anthem to the lion-hearted, Youngstown, Ohio pugilist. It is driven by an appropriately over-amped, bruising guitar hook and uppercut! I can still remember the car radio announcement that informed me of Mancini's 14 round loss to Alexis Arguello in 1981. I bawled for the brawler. But then I was "LIQUIDATED" at the time - some evil man at Dodger Stadium having sold me 2 beers an inning for 9 innings. (Don't hate me; I wasn't driving!)
THE WAR-IN-ZEVON : "Some have the speed and the right combinations; if you can't take the punches, it don't mean a thing."
RECONSIDER ME -- A plaintive and moving ballad sung straight on the rocks....no "twist."
THE WAR-IN-ZEVON : "If it's still the past that makes you doubt, darlin' that was then and this is now. Reconsider me."
BAD KARMA -- A very funny song about picking up the gauntlet thrown down by life and coming to grips with disillusionment.
THE WAR-IN-ZEVON : "Was it something I did in another life? I try and try but nothing comes out right for me. Bad karma, killing me by degrees."
EVEN A DOG CAN SHAKE HANDS -- Ya gotta love the enthusiastic energy of this one. It starts out with "YEAH!! WOO-OOO!! HEEEEEY!!" Good stuffs about the tie-wearing parasites in the music biz. Now, if you've lived in L.A., you know that the San Fernando Valley is where you take up residence just prior to limping out of town with yer head down and yer tail tucked between yer legs. So it's pretty funny when our singer is warned to play the game properly or he'll "end up dead, living in The Valley someday." As though the two are synonymous.
THE WAR-IN-ZEVON : Abandon all hope and don't rock the boat, and we'll all make a few hundred grand. Everybody's trying to be a friend of mine. Even a dog can shake hands."
THE HEARTACHE -- Another ballad on the rocks, no "twist." The subject is unrequited love, which in common parlance means, "unsuccessful open-heart surgery." The Heartache contains one of the greatest lines in song : "THERE'S A SADNESS IN THE HEART OF THINGS." This one line has haunted me ever since I first heard it in 1987. In all these years, not a month has passed that I didn't find myself silently reciting it in response to some unfortunate situation, or while merely contemplating the setting of the sun. If you don't get it, then consider yourself lucky and rejoice in your insensitivity.
THE WAR-IN-ZEVON : "There's a sadness in the heart of things," of course! Why, it's only the most poignant moment on the entire album!
I rarely award 5-Stars, but I could have given SENTIMENTAL HYGIENE 4-Stars if the songs that I don't care for, I felt merely neutral about. But I actively dislike DETOX MANSION, Zevon's noisy, irreverent attempt to make light of his drug and alcohol rehab. To plagiarize one of his earlier songs : "It ain't that funny at all." The attempt at humor sounds forced. I once wrote a poem called, 'The League Of Soul Crusaders' which included the lines, "THESE BOYS DON'T CRY WHEN THEY SHOULD / AND LAUGH / WHEN THEY SHOULDN'T." Detox Mansion is a prime example.
One of my pet peeves in music is when lifelong Rock Stars with Champagne and Brie on their breath sing about the tough life of 'the working man.' Boys, give it a rest! Don't let your conscience convince you that we need to hear your understanding. If you want to sing to us about how difficult it is to have 13 groupies a night, but only 2 hotel suites, or how the bad roadie forgot to remove the brown M&Ms from the backstage candy bowl, or how room service is too slow at the Hilton, fine. But don't be telling us about punching a time clock with the bossman looking over your shoulder! Don't gripe about the 8 to 5 'blue collar' life because you don't know it like we do! (Are you listening Paul Simon, Jackson Browne & Bruce Springsteen?) Zevon commits this cardinal Rock Music sin in the unconvincing and unmusical THE FACTORY. Aside from all that, the first four lines are poorly conceived : "I was born in '63 / Got a little job in the factory / I don't know much about Kennedy / I was too busy working in the factory." (Give that some real thought.)
Overall, SENTIMENTAL HYGIENE is a very solid effort. His self-titled, WARREN ZEVON, however, remains his essential release, which includes his real masterpiece, DESPERADOS UNDER THE EAVES, and CARMELITA with its reference to the infamous "Pioneer Chicken Stand." Which, incidentally, once stood on the Southeast corner at Alvarado and Montana Streets in L.A., a few blocks north of Echo Park. The spot is now just the upper corner of the Vons Supermarket parking lot. But if any of you Zevon diehards ever make the pilgrimage to this 'legendary' location, don't tell anyone that you heard from Stephen T.; I hear they're still hunting me.
Warren Zevon is a Hindu Love God.......2004-05-03
The name of the game is be hit and hit back.......2004-03-15
He starts out with the strong steady kick of the title track, proclaiming that he 'needs some Sentimental Hygiene' and musing that 'everybody's at war these days'. A strong tune (Neil Young plays lead guitar) but nothing amazing for Zevon. 7/10 stars.
'Boom-Boom Mancini', the second song, is possibly the heaviest rock song he ever wrote and paints a dark (and true) storyscape of the famous boxer (who apparently, after hearing this song, became good friends with Zevon). One of his best, darkest songs ever. 10/10.
'The Factory', a Springsteen-ish number with BobDylan on harmonica, is catchy (try to not like him shout 'yes, sir, no, sir' as loud as he can during the chorus). 7/10.
'Trouble Waiting To Happen', written with J.D Souther, is plainly about his addiction. 'The mailman brought me the Rolling Stone. It said I was living at home alone. I read things I didn't know I'd done. It sounded like a lot of fun.' Depressed but witty. 9/10.
'Reconsider Me' is one of the few ballads on the albums and also one of the best he'd ever written. Reportedly, when asked if he had ever written songs personal enough for him to consider not using them, he pointed at once to this song. It's easy to see why, as he begs someone, perhaps everyone, to reconsider him and promises that he'll 'never make them sad again'. He seems to be speaking of his addiction again, especially when he says 'if it's the past that make you doubt, darling, that was then and this is now'. Excellent. One of his best. 10/10.
'Detox Mansion', written with long-time callaborater Jorge Calderon, is a joky look at how his alchohal detox. Funny, with a bitter side hiding under the numorous jokes and puns. 10/10.
'Bad Karma' finds him blaming the fates for his mifortune. Michael Stipe, the lead singer of R.E.M., joins his bandmates to sing the harmony on this and the music includes a sitar. Zevon wails that he can't get away from his fate and wonders what he did to deserve it. Dark. 8/10.
'Even A Dog Can Shake Hands' is the only song on the album that Warren Zevon actually wrote with R.E.M. It's one of his quirkiest rockers, filled with witty indictments of the way Hollywood and the music business work. Funny. 9/10.
'The Heartache' finds Warren Zevon joined by Jennifer Warnes to sing a sad tale of loving someone who does not share your affection. 9/10.
'Leave My Monkey Alone' is a dark, funky tale about Kenya and the Mau Mau inscurrectionists. It features Flea (of the Red Hot Chili Peppers) on bass and was produces and arranged by George Clinton. 10/10.
The bonus tracks are hardly essential or great new additions. 'Nocturne' is awful, a mess of random synthasizer sounds that sounds as thought he was fooling randomly around on his keyboard. The Spanish version of 'Leave My Monkey Alone' is interesting and features some slightly different music and more jungle noises.
All in all, the best from a man who seemed unable to produce anything truly bad. It should be the first in your Warren Zevon collection, along with 'Excitable Boy'.

Ringo Starr's early post-Beatle solo efforts revealed an artist who seemed to revel in both his newfound artistic freedom and the chance to prove just how underestimated he may have been. While John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison were making music not dissimilar to their recent Beatles past, Starr undertook two wildly disparate projects, this Tin Pan Alley tribute to some of the American songbook's most cherished standards (cut to please his parents, according to legend) and the straightforward country & western collection Beaucoups of Blues. Though it confounded many a critic at the time of its release, Journey has a relaxed, strangely melancholy feel, even if Ringo seems to be occasionally waltzing through some of the arrangements (undertaken by an all-star roster of producer/arrangers, including George Martin, Elmer Bernstein, Quincy Jones, and Paul McCartney). Hardly the greatest post-Beatles release, but certainly one of the oddest and least expected. --Jerry McCulleyCustomer Reviews:
RINGO SINGS BETTER AT COUNTRY SONGS.......2007-07-30
Ringo is so much fun.......2007-05-06
I was very pleased to see it released on CD!
If you are a fan of the Fab Four, this CD is a must. Although Ringo is obviously not a great singer, he is quite enjoyable and fun to listen to. You can tell he was having a great time recording this material and actually does quite well. A very good selection of material and out of all the tracks there were only maybe 2 that I did not particularly care for the arrangement(s), but I would still recommend purchasing this CD.
It is one of which I will never tire of listening (and enjoying). Tip of the hat to Ringo for forging on with the project when there was probably not a lot of encouragement. He did well.
beautiful.......2006-03-16
Ringo- the trendsetter.......2006-02-12
As for Ringo's standards, they are well chosen (many would turn up on later standards releases) and well produced by the likes of George Martin, Paul McCartney, and Quincy Jones. Ringo sings them well , maybe surprisingly well to some, and proves he can drum to something other than rock. He hasn't done another set of standards but it would be welcome.

Album Description
Doris Day's biggest hit, 'Sentimental Journey' was recorded while she was a vocalist in Les Brown's band in the mid-1940s. Highlights from these two original albums on one compact disc include 'Fly Me To The Moon' and 'The More I See You.' (Collectables)Customer Reviews:
Classic 1965 recordings.......2007-01-13
Simply Timeless.......2005-03-09
One word is all I need: Beautiful!.......2004-06-25
Most of Doris Day's big hits were in the 1950s; this CD represents a Doris Day of about 10 years later. It is a combination of two LPs which she recorded two months apart in 1964 and Columbia released (the second-recorded one first!) in 1965. So it's a slightly more mature Doris Day, but just as nice to listen to as the Doris of the 1950s.
The two LPs combined in this CD are actually two quite different sets of tunes. "Doris Day's Sentimental Journey" consists of a collection of songs that were old standards even in 1964, plus a remake of her very first hit, the title tune of the album, done in a rather different style from the 1940s version. "Latin for Lovers" contains a number of songs that were mostly fairly new in 1964 (some of which might be called standards now!) with Latin origins. (Some were composed by the man who introduced the bossa nova to the USA, Antonio Carlos Jobim.) Only one of the songs on "Latin for Lovers" was one I'd heard Doris do: "Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps" ("Quizas, Quizas, Quizas" in the original Spanish). All the songs on both LPs, now on one CD, reminded me of why I've always considered Doris my favorite singer; every single one is done beautifully.
What more can I say? Of course it gets 5 stars! I wish I could give it six!
Voice without peers.......2003-06-25
Then in Amsterdam I found some great soundtracks with old works from Henry Mancini.Next to his works was some this rather shy album of Doris Day.
When I heard her interpretation of * Three coins in the fountain & Quiet nights of quiet stars *,I couldn't believe my ears. Her voice has such profound timbre with such grade delicacy of
the acoustic instrument, one just brought to life by finest artisan alive. Her voice is so vibrant and resonant like any voice I have heard before.
I asked my friends at my home to listen some music on my system and I asked them who is finest female voice on the planet? Some said Billie Holiday , Ella Fitzgerald....list goes on.
With some reservation I said for me it is from now on Doris Day.
Needles to say that made them laugh until they have heard sheer delicacy of her voice.
Without any reservation,with experience in classical music and Jazz, her voice is among finest voices, period. It is a great pity that she didn't extend range of her materials more into demanding materials of Jazz standards. I'm scare to think what kind of the treat that would be.
Her voice is like a finest High-End audio instrument, depending only on quality of material. If you treat the same with care it will reward you with delight. Ribbon speaker owners and those with generally fine systems, listen for these two songs on
this album. It will define you standards, what can you expect in human voice. In this case. exquisite,profound and unique voice of Doris Day.
In today mediocrity of quality in almost every sphere of human awareness,let her voice remind you that some things posses a true substance.
Doris recorded great albums while the Beatles took over USA.......2003-06-01
The album begins with The more I see you. Originally an American hit for Dick Haymes, Chris Montez had an international hit with his cover in the sixties. I remember you was originally a top ten hit for Jimmy Dorsey but Frank Ifield had a huge sixties hit with it around the world, going to the very top of the UK charts. At last and Serenade in blue were popularised by Glenn Miller. Among the other songs here, you can listen to covers of Come to baby do (another song Doris originally recorded with Les Brown), I'll never smile again (Tommy Dorsey), I'm beginning to see the light (Harry James), It could happen to you (Jo Stafford) and It's been a long long time, which topped the 1945 charts in America via two different versions (Bing Crosby, Harry James).
The second album on this twofer, Latin for lovers, recorded in 1963, features a mix of standards and songs of Latin origin, all given a gentle bossa nova rhythm. On Be mine tonight, Doris actually sings a verse in Spanish - the only time she ever did that. Of the standards, Fly me to the moon and Our day will come are the best known. One of the Latin songs, Perhaps perhaps perhaps (a translation of Quizas quizas quizas) became popular in the UK as a consequence of its use in a TV commercial. This is an excellent album that sets its own mood.
Doris could not compete with the Beatles for sales, although she continued to record albums of the highest quality - and they have stood the test of time.
In the UK, these two albums were issued on separate twofers - Sentimental journey was coupled with What every girl should know, while Latin for lovers was coupled with Love him.

Violinist Regina Carter recorded I'll Be Seeing You: A Sentimental Journey following her mother's death. A tribute to her mom, it features period songs she was fond of. But far from wallowing in sentimentality, it's a spirited work of reflection featuring vocals by the irrepressible Dee Dee Bridgwater on two songs, including a freewheeling "Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen," and the charismatic Carla Cook on three tunes, including a darkly glowing "St. Louis Blues." Teaming to warmly atmospheric effect part of the time with clarinetist Paquito D'Rivera and accordionist Gil Goldstein, Carter readily avoids easy nostalgia, whether basking in the childlike delights of "A-Tisket, A-Tasket," "Little Brown Jug" and "Anitra's Dance" (the Peer Gynt classic, taken from the great '30s bandleader John Kirby's arrangement), or the more sophisticated of emotion of Duke Ellington's "Blue Rose" and "I'll Be Seeing You." Produced by John Clayton, the album doesn't rise to the heights of Freefall, Carter's 2001 duo recording with pianist Kenny Barron, but its easygoing qualities win out over the slick high conceptualism of some of her other efforts. --Lloyd SachsCustomer Reviews:
What you get is what you see.......2007-06-13
Regina Carter has a beautiful tone, but I feel she is not really a swinger (I guess more modern forms of jazz are more her domain). The accordeonist Goldstein also weighs things down a bit, but this still doesn't mean you shouldn't buy this CD, particularly if you're not a die-hard fan of really swinging violinists (ellegant Stephane Grappelli, rugged Ray Nance, joyous Svend Assmusen and others).
And, to ensure at least 4 stars for this album, there is the versatile Cuban Paquito D'Rivera, who at times really shows adequate swinging passion on his clarinet and finally, but by no means unsignificantly, there are two tracks with Dee Dee Bridgewater who can really cook a swinging storm with her voice and push the other musicians to their limits and beyond ...
All in all, not a bad CD, falling somewhere between nostalgia and swing.
Incredible! Incredible! Incredible!.......2007-03-09
An Awesome Journey.......2006-08-19
This recording rates right up there with Rhythms of the Heart and Paganini: After a Dream.

Album Description
The guitar has played a major part in the evolution of Brazilian music, especially during the twentieth century. On this recording the charm, beauty and sensuality of Brazilian guitar music can be heard in pieces as diverse as Marco Pereira's Pixaim, a fast rhythmic dance originating from North-East Brazil, João Pernambuco's cheeky Blackbird, the classic song Girl from Ipanema by Antonio Carlos Jobim, a founder of the Bossa Nova movement and, from Brazil's most famous composer, Heitor Villa-Lobos, the hauntingly lyrical Sentimental Melody, written for the film Green Mansions in 1957. Award winning guitarist, Graham Anthony Devine was born in England and, in his teens, moved to Brazil where he has become an established performer and teacher, giving many recitals and masterclasses throughout South America. He is a laureate of many international guitar competitions in Europe and the United States.Customer Reviews:

Mac Rebennack's long commercial drought finally ended in the late '80s with In a Sentimental Mood, an album of pop standards bearing almost no connection to New Orleans R&B roots. His album-opening duet with Rickie Lee Jones, "Making' Whoopee," was a big hit after it was included on the Sleepless in Seattle soundtrack, and it's easy to understand why Harry Connick Jr. fans who'd bought When Harry Met Sally were seduced by this coy come-on. Still, it's odd to hear Rebennack's scruffy baritone in service to such lush, sweeping orchestration (and to hear him sing a line like "I've got a sweet tooth for your sweet heart"). The Doctor does lend a nice bluesy feel to a Satchmo favorite, "My Buddy," and to Charles Brown's classic, "Black Night," and his version of "More Than You Know" is a small miracle of understatement. --Keith MoererCustomer Reviews:
