Not a complete soundtrack.......2007-06-27

The songs on the album all carry the flavor of the movie and the islands. The only drawback from me giving this five stars is that is it missing one of the best songs IMO. That song is Taj Mahal's "Cakewalk into Town". In the movie Denzel Washington sings this song as he plays the piano. Great scene and great song. It is really a shame that they couldn't add this to the album. Maybe it was a contractual thing or just an oversight. The rest of the songs are worth owning, but it isn't a complete soundtrack.

enjoyable mix.......2005-08-20

The soundtrack version of "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" by Michael Rose is great, and Yello's "Habanera" really stands out. The cover of "I'm Hurting Inside" is also enjoyable. Even songs I might not otherwise enjoy, like "Yellow Moon" (sorry, it's a matter of personal taste), work in the mix.

Many Rastas dislike "The Mighty Quinn" movie adaptation of the novel "Finding Maubee," and many hardcore reggae fans would pass over this soundtrack, but I have to admit that I've found pleasure in both.

Great Soundtrack & Movie.......2000-01-23

This soundtrack was great, especially the songs by Arrow, UB40 and Aaron Neville. Guess who's Coming to Dinner is a jam. I've searched long and hard for it for years, and I'm glad Amazon has it.

Coming clean up with a breath of new air.......2007-01-01

Gary Lucas, guitarist extraordinaire, unfurls his dynamic strings and lassos them around our ears as we become the blessed victims of the latest unleashing of his brilliance. Together with his Gods and Monsters gang, Gary assaults and redefines our aesthetics boundaries.

Right off the bat, he once again digs his digits into an axe and whacks out a fabulous phantasmagoria of slide guitar, blues-y licks, and lascivious vocal warnings, all woven around his fable of the delicious but dangerous Fata Morgana.

"Her icy stare, her mournful air can hypnotize all sailors
Who now full fathom five doth lie beneath her coral jailer
As cruel Morgana seals your fate just when you've come to nail her"

Fata Morgana sails into the melodic harbor of "Junker and the Jewess," and "Vampire Circus" with its enticing Pied Pipes of orgasmic little kisses blown from the strings with which only Gary has privilege at his sorcerous fingers. Shipwrecked evermore. Shipwrecked evermore.

"Under My Wing" flies to a secluded little jazz pub somewhere in the solar system where time retards the heart while the ears absorb this tale of woe. And whoa, how the brushstrokes glide over a thousand canvases all morphed into Gary's deep, mosaic voice. From the outset, this song makes me wonder where the stripper poles are concealed. And around where I wrap my fingers for the best grip. I dare not let go. I wish to fill the void under that wing.

One of the crowning songs (well, aren't they all) from Gary's very first solo album "Skeleton at the Feast" is Bernard Herrmann's "Psycho." Here, we once again visit Norman and `mother' but with drums and bass. It's as if Gary's band, Gods and Monsters, are personally feeding me plump little drops of adrenaline while embracing my body playfully on the edge of a cliff.

"Mojo Pin" is `the' one and only "Mojo Pin" from the irrefutable genius of Gary Lucas and Jeff Buckley. Before knowing anything about the version on this album, the haunting voice staring out from the grooves stopped me dead in my tracks. For a moment, I thought the serenader was a very nascent Jeff Buckley, as though he may have sounded in the 1980s, but of course, the luminous collaboration with Gary had not yet been born. Upon further investigation, the owner of the sweet vocal chords turned out to that of Michael Schoen, a name perhaps not known at the moment by many but one whose talent refuses to lie dormant. But "Mojo Pin" isn't merely an imitation of the original. Michael sings his own version and Gary's guitar purrs as if the tune were gloriously composed only yesterday; both Michael and Gary approach the song with a fresh, courageous soul.

The rest of the gems are there for the taking. That is, if you dare to progress beyond the mundane borders of the little dividers in your local record store chain. I'm crawling back under the wing of Gary's axe, which always provides an avant-garde path to the fantastic.

Like wild horses.......2006-12-23

Lucky for us this is no "Tin Machine." When David Bowie decided a ways back to duck his rock star personna and take up with Soupy Sales' kids he defaced himself almost to invisibility. Gods and Monsters is a band, but Gary Lucas is clearly its voice and mind. Lucas and sidekicks present 14 rock-trio rooted pieces that range from the mysterious to the frantic and bragging, while keeping the overall structure firm.

The CD opens with a bit of imitation clockwork, then "Fata Morgana," a song of warning, of a mysterious femme fatale, enters through charging cymbals and the mad cakewalk of a slide guitar. "Follow" follows with a much more tender view of life and loves. The next few tracks offer solid, fresh songs, but with "Hurly Burly" the CD becomes unmistakeably, uniquely Lucas: charging guitar, complex lyrics you might expect only a tongue-split raven could sing, yet Lucas delivers them as naturally as you and I might chant "Louie Louie." "One Man's Meat," sung by David Johansen in a much more straight ahead style than the pompadour hipster one he used when he sang "Spider Web" on a Lucas CD a while back, is a standout. But I hear the last five tracks---from "Under My Wing" to "Dream of the Wild Horses" as a kind of mini-suite. This begins with the self-struggle of blues, and ends with the open-hearted charge of music running into open freedom. Was it Bukowski who wrote "The Days Run Away Like Wild Horses"? Well, so does this music.

COMING CLEAN: THE REAL THING.......2006-12-10

Anyone who has followed the music of Gary Lucas & Gods and Monsters over the past few years knows that they live up to their reputation of what the New Yorker called "The underground rock fan's dream team." In its latest incarnation, the band includes Ernie Brooks (Modern Lovers) on bass, Billy Ficca (Television) and Jonathan Kane (Swans) on drums, Jason Candler (Hungry March Band) on alto sax and Joe Hendel on trombone, and Jerry Harrison (Talking Heads) on keyboards. Now, with guests David Johansen (New York Dolls), Elli Medeiros (Stinky Toys), Richard Barone and Michael Schoen, their latest album, Coming Clean, from Mighty Quinn Records,* has cut a powerful collection of tracks.

The lynch-pin and musical shaman of Gods and Monsters is the peripatetic guitarist, song-writer and vocalist, Gary Lucas. His dizzyingly dexterous guitar playing may be difficult to define, although music critic David Fricke, in Rolling Stone recently called him simply "one of the best and most original guitarists in America" (Nov. 2006). After listening to many of Lucas' CDs, both solo and collaborative works, I've come to think of his style as a form of magic realism, the kind of music I wouldn't mind listening to while camping out in some lush dream forest for one hundred years of (psychedelic) solitude, although the music is fine even when you're shoulder to shoulder with the crowd in a steamy nightclub. And like good magic realist literature, Lucas' music is capable of scorching social commentary, while simultaneously puncturing the thin skin of reality and flying us to realms we can otherwise only dream of.

Some of those realms are erotic, for example, in the orgasmic "Skin-Diving." The track features Lucas' gorgeously looping and soaring guitar playing accompanied by the sexy-voiced vocals of Elli Medeiros, who takes it to the limit, indeed; some realms are mythic: "Fata Morgana" is a modern turn on an ancient western legend, tweaked by blazing finger picking that morphs into operatic chords with an Asian influence (for more of that, listen to Lucas' wonderful album of mid-20th century Chinese popular music, The Edge of Heaven).

Fans of the band's art-rock roots will love the satisfyingly abrasive version of "Psycho" and David Johansen's streetwise contribution in "One Man's Meat," backed up with killer alto sax and trombone by Jason Candler and Joe Hendel, respectively. Fans of Jeff Buckley will find the familiar "Mojo Pin" haunting (Lucas wrote the original music), featuring Michael Schoen's beautiful vocals. The last track, "Dream of the Wild Horses," is Lucas' instrumental tribute to Buckley, as full of lyrical yearning and promise as was Jeff himself; the song ends on a droning chord that is a devastating reference to his early passing.

More so than on previous Gods & Monsters albums, the thread running through and tying together Coming Clean is clearly the Blues -- the "realism" part of the magic. The newly introduced electric wail and slide on the title track (previously all acoustic with effects box in an earlier CD, Improve the Shining Hour) is a startling change, yet perfectly appropriate; it puts a whole different spin on Dylan Thomas's lines, "do not go gentle into that good night." Lucas also gets down and dirty in the rock-bluesy rendition of Bruce Springstein's "Ain't Got You," with its driving Bo Diddley-esque (on acid) rhythms and especially the moody "Under My Wing." Yet, there are blues/metal elements also in "Skin Diving" and in gentler form, even in the romantic tone poem, "Evangeline" and in "Land's End," with its soaring vocals by Richard Barone.

Gary Lucas and Gods & Monsters have made New York City their stomping ground for years; but lately they have been touring through Europe (most recently in St. Petersburg, Russia) and receiving rave reviews. This band should have a wider audience in the U.S., and with the release of this powerhouse CD, I have every reason to believe that it will. This is an intense and magical compilation of music---the real thing. Do yourself a favor, and buy it now!

*Coming Clean is available in the U.S., Canada and Japan on Mighty Quinn; on Side Salad/Universal in the UK; in France through Productions Speciales, and will be released in January 2007 in the Benelux through DAWA Music.

Outstanding reissue.......2005-12-06

Edmond Hall is one of the best blues-playing clarinetists around. From New Orleans, he retains the haunting, woody tone characteristic of many players from that area, but he also has the techinical facility of more modern mainstream players. Hall is under-recorded as a leader, which makes this reissue particularly welcome. It features Hall in a quartet setting (along with Ellis Larkin and Milt HInton) and in a sextet that includes the great Vic Dickenson. Hall and Dickenson teamed in the 40s to make some classic recordings for Blue Note and again in the early 50s for more classic sides for John Hammond on the Vanguard label. This session, recorded in 1959 for United Artists, features outstanding studio sound and is right up there in quality with those previous meetings. Great material (including some Ellington tunes) and plenty of swinging blues from masters!

Petite Fleur is produced by 'Mighty Quinn', a small reissue company with outstanding production values. It licensed this material from EMI/Blue Note and has remastered it in splendid 24 bit sound. Highly recommended!

Early Pepper.......2006-04-18

This was Pepper Adams's second album under his own leadership, done originally for World Pacific in 1957. From the beginning Adams established himself as a big-boned (for a little guy), forceful baritone sax player, though capable of playing lyrically as well. Those characteristics are on full display here. The opening track, MINOR MISHAP, a medium-up Tommy Flanagan composition, features a handsome and direct Adams solo. Trumpeter Lee Katzman is very much in the Fats Navarro mold (open horn, clear tone, great phrasing), though on HIGH STEP he plays at times with a sparseness reminiscent of Miles Davis.

The highlight of this excellent CD is ZEC, a Thad Jones number taken at a fiery tempo that gives everyone a chance to shine, though pianist Jimmy Rowles is particularly inventive here. Doug Watkins and Mel Lewis round out the rhythm section: Watkins is given some very interesting solo spots, mainly on BLACKOUT BLUES and the bonus track FOUR FUNKY PEOPLE; his presence is felt to great effect throughout on the first mentioned tune. This is a solid mainstream-modern jazz outing featuring established (though at the time still young: Adams had just won Down Beat's New Star award) players at their best.

From the Executive Producer..........2007-06-28

I didn't want to write this since I am obviously biased regarding this release and am disinclined toward shilling, but it seems this recording is getting criminally overlooked and it needs every bit of help it can get to reach a wider audience. It is unfortunate that Amazon didn't set this up so that you could hear clips.

If they did, you would be able to sample what terrific playing Milcho laid down. Milcho considers this one of the best recordings he has made from a personal and artistic point of view. All the wit, intelligence, passion, and virtuosity that are the hallmarks of his playing are on full display. The recording quality is extremely high as well: There are times when Milcho plays directly on the strings inside the piano and all sorts of subtleties of harmonics and dampening are captured.

The selection of tunes ranges from light and gregarious to serious and tender. They also include compositions that have never been recorded before as well as new interpretations of some of the better known big band charts.

Anyone at all interested in either Don Ellis or Milcho Leviev should definitely give this a try. Yes, I know it's a solo piano, not a big band, and that most of you looking at this probably would prefer a big band album when considering a Don Ellis recording. If that is the case, you are doing yourselves a disservice. Give it a chance. I think you'll be very pleasantly surprised. Thanks for indulging me.

Land upstages himself on this unusual disc (featuring great Fontana).......2007-07-26

Any recording by Harold Land, especially from the mid-50s through the '60s, is enough cause to sit up and listen. The liner notes get it wrong in emphasizing his "big sound," since compared to, say, Rollins, his was a smaller but edgier, "cutting" sound, matched to the no-nonsense quality of each purposeful solo. Also surprising is that the notes list his credits but make no mention of his stellar contributions to the three Curtis Counce recordings on Contemporary.

This recording isn't as satisfying as the Contemporary dates partly because the accompanying cast isn't in the same league as Sheldon, Perkins, Butler, and Counce, nor do they sound as tight and rehearsed. Also, the recorded sound lacks the balance and spaciousness of the Contemporary sessions. The bass is boomy, and the drums sound quite distant, especially the ride cymbal.

As for the tunes, Land's "As You Like It" is an up-tempo, attention-getting opener, though the composer's solo lacks the customary assured fluency. He's heard to better advantage on the ensuing numbers, none of which is especially memorable.

The session was produced by Leonard Feather, but the audio engineer isn't identified. It's definitely not a Lester Koenig date--possibly Van Gelder--and very likely the bass was boosted by some tone-deaf non-musician for this CD release. The bonus track, a 21-minute "Straight No Chaser," raises it from a three to a 4-star session--with Land taking the first solo backed by a "dream" rhythm section of Ray Brown (his bass never obtrusive), Ed Thigpen (whose ride cymbal is much more audible), and Tommy Flanagan (the Oscar Peterson Trio minus Oscar). The order of solos is not identified in the liner notes, so here they are: Bobby Bryant follows Land with a smooth and riffing solo, more conservative than Land's; then it's Pete Christlieb's turn, his fuller sound and harmonic virtuosity on tenor giving him away; then it's the unmistable precision of the trombonist's trombonist, Carl Fontana, who practically steals the show with his extended statement, becoming more fiery and dramatic with each note. Now it's Harry Edison, playing with the cup mute. Next, it's Frank Rosolino's pyrotechnics that take center stage, his playing flashier and brassier than Fontana's but not as "clean" and precise. Finally, the inimitable Mr. Flanagan, his touch and phrasing a clear identifier, even though the piano sound overall is somewhat squeezed and distorted (it's definitely not the greatest audio, but at least the sound is better "balanced" than the first six tracks).

If the audio quality were better, this last track alone would elevate "Take Aim" to a five-star disc.

Aim straight, no chaser.......2007-04-15

TAKE AIM was recorded for Blue Note in 1960 but never released on LP until 1980. There are all kinds of reasons why material recorded doesn't see the light of day when expected, but I think this one sat in the vaults so long because it just didn't cut it interest wise. The tunes, all originals except for the ballad YOU"RE MY THRILL by Burton Lane, are not that great. Things start off well: AS YOU LIKE IT is an up-tempo swinger as is the title track, which also happens to be a nice little composition (by pianist Amos Trice). But the material gets iffy after that. The playing is good, however, especially the open trumpet playing of Martin Banks, who had ears then for Nat Adderley. The real winning track here, though, is the bonus one, STRAIGHT, NO CHASER, which comes off a "Jazz in the Afternoon" LP (there were 3 of them) on Solid State done in 1968, in this instance featuring a gang of West Coast giants including Harry Edison, Victor Feldman, Frank Rosolino, and Land, to mention only a few. It's a 20-minute romp that after the theme statement has very little to do with Monk's composition. It alone is worth the price of the CD.

Album Description

Mike Milazzo blends folk, blues, rock and bluegrass music into an original, yet familiar sound. With a dark resonance in his voice, he sings with an honesty that feels like home. There is an urgency in his lyrics and guitar playing that translates into his live performances, as well as his new CD The World Outside. Mike has, in the past, lent his guitar playing and singing talents to bands and singer songwriters such as banjo master Tom Hanway, the Juicemen (heavy alt. rock), the U.S. Hairforce (angular art rock), Dweller (rock and roll), the Boardlords (skate punk--he is still an active member), and Meg Griffin's Trainwreck, featuring pedal steel legend Buddy Cage. Mike Milazzo has had the pleasure of being an opening act for Donovan, Richie Havens, Levon Helm, and Vassar Clements. Milazzo plays most of the instruments on his new recording himself, with the exception of drums, played by Martin Stroh, and guest appearances by Meg Griffin on backing vocals, Joe Meo on clarinet, Stan Hammond on keyboards, and Robin Gager on violin. The end result is a warm and powerful collection of songs. Mike can be seen and heard Thursday evenings at the Sundown Saloon in Greenwich, Connecticut, and in and around the tri-state area.
