Canadian Jazz/electronica outfit Four80East returns for their highly-anticipated new studio album En Route. Titled for its constant flow of instrumental groove, the contemporary duo's Native Language Music debut and first new release in five years puts a fresh spin on their past work to create a collection that's remarkably cinematic. Attractively packaged in a "deluxe-edition" jewel case with die-cut slipcase.

Customer Reviews:

Great CD!.......2007-08-03

I purchased this cd several days ago, and have been listening to this entire cd every since. Two of my favorite songs are noodle soup and waterline. Purchase this cd and you will not be disappointed. Unlike other cd's which only one or two songs are good, this entire cd is excellent!

FOUR 80 EAST EN ROUTE.......2007-07-03

THIS CD IS GREAT! I THOUGHT THEY STOPPED RECORDING AS A GROUP! I WAS SO HAPPY TO SEE THAT THEY HAD A NEW CD. EN ROUTE IS GREAT!! JUST LIKE THEIR OTHER CD'S, I LOVE IT!! IT IS SO SOOTHING & ENJOYABLE!! I NEVER HEARD OF FOUR 80 EAST UNTIL CD NOW SUGGEST THEM IF I LIKE DOWN TO THE BONE!IT IS NOT FAIR THAT THEY SHOULD NOT BE RECOGNIZED LIKE THEY SHOULD BE!!THE YOUNG GENERATION DOESN'T EVEN BEGIN TO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE MISSING!!THEIR MUSIC IS BEAUTIFUL!! I LOVE IT!!DON'T FORGET DOWN TO THE BONE, THEY ARE WONDERFUL TOO!!

If you're looking at it, you should buy it!.......2007-06-29

I always try to temper my desire to comment on music until I've let it marinate for a while, lest I let my enthusiasm for having a new disc in the drive override rational thought. In this case, I'm just going to let it rip!

Good stuff, start to finish. Favorites so far would be Noodle Soup and Been Too Long - both fun grooves. En Route is a musical image of it's title, reflective of a long and easy cruise behind the wheel. 51 Division is a powerfully fun romp. Smooth tunes on this collection also, like Closer and Easy Come, Easy Go. Waterline is a magnificent and dreamy tune, kind of like looking into the ripples on a pond.

Four 80 East continues to get better and better. Their creative use of sounds continues to be a trademark of their work. If you're familiar with their work, listening to this collection is both reassuring and surprising. You can tell it's them, but each tune is new and fresh.

Just got it in time for the 4th of July, but I can already tell that the wife and I will be spinning this one a lot. Perfect for an easy afternoon cookout or taking in a sunset.

What The.... WOW, What A CD!.......2007-06-13

After previewing all the tracks while using my Rhapsody subscription, I could not believe that I hadn't heard of this electro-contemporary jazz group before. I love smooth jazz, but man this put a whole new twist on the genre! If you love synthesizers and high quality musicianship, this is THE CD for you. To put it all simply, I was and continue to be amazed by this group and in particular this CD! I would buy an additional copy for anyone who loves smooth jazz easily.

Two Words: Out...Standing!.......2007-06-08

En Route is an outstanding CD. Like the other Four80East cd's it's been played a lot here. Though I liked it from the start, I thought it rated just four stars. But with repeated listening, you begin to appreciate just how good it is.

There are lots of interesting things going on in this album that you might not notice at first: It's intelligence, the unusual electronic flourishes, Rob DeBoer's stylish bass lines.... And mention must be made of Jon Stewart's saxophone. Many saxists force their leads--resulting in brassy, disarticulate solos. Stewart's sax is sweet and natural. His playing never sounds forced, and is wholly in sync with the cool F80E atmosphere.

En Route continues F80E's trademark melodic, interweaving instrumental parts that float on and over DeBoer's bass riffs. Where it might differ from their other albums is the way the individual tracks (quite different from one another, a la Round 3) all come together so well, forming an almost geometric whole. In that sense I believe it's their most mature effort yet. Maybe their best. And that's no small feat.

Customer Reviews:

Let's play all night long with Jeff! !.......2007-07-31

Jeff Kashiwa, former member of the popular group The Rippingtons, makes late night music for adults to chill out too, and this album is no different and sees him in great form again. Well, I think this sax master just keeps getting better.
Whether your'e in the mood for.... luuuv... or driving down a busy motorway... turn up the vibes and chill, relax and your cares just float away on hearing that incredible and very recognizable sax !!
The mellow or upbeat nature of his playing makes it seems as though the music is flowing, dancing... His notes are long and engaging and never shrill, so that they draw the listener in and invite him to sit for a while and relax.
He manages to vary the mood with each track - each one is incredible.
My favourite tracks are "The Lucky One", "Movin' Up" , "Blue Jeans" and the mellow "New View" with soft piano play.
You will adore the mellow saxaphone sound of Jeff : smooth, chilled and saxy!
Guests Alex Al (bass), Lenny Castro (percussion), Russell Ferrante (piano, fender rhodes), Gregg Carmichael (guitar), Dave Kochanski (keybord, producer) and Barry Danielian (trumpet) join in.
Prepare to play all night long wih Jeff !

Amazon.com essential recording

Nakai's free improvisations on this album are based on his impressions of the Anasazi and Sinagua sites, ancient cliff dwellings that were home to communities of Native people thousands of years ago. By using the Roland SDE 3000 Digital Delay system, Nakai is able to play duets with his own echo, in an effort to emulate the echoes of the past that haunt these ruins. On this recording, Nakai's flute sounds even more plaintive than usual, as if the spirits of these forgotten ancestors had entered into the studio to fill his playing with the whispered reverberations of their ancient ways. This is one of Nakai's most deeply felt recordings, one that resonates with a deep, melancholy yearning. --j. poet

nice!.......2007-03-31

there's something about native flute that i find very relaxing, and it makes great background music when i'm in session with clients. Nakai does a fabulous job!

GREAT CARLOS NAKAI!.......2007-03-12

What a wonderful music for relaxing and happiness.
I am dreaming about forgotten times.

Thank you.

Hauntingly beautiful.......2007-01-15

I first heard of R. Carlos Nakai on the music channel I have on cable and I instantly fell in love with his music. This album is simply amazing, it's beauty is haunting and I can't begin to tell everyone how very pleased I am with my purchase of this cd. Every song is a masterpiece and the fact that each song is played in a canyon/cave adds to the mysterious quality of the music. This is a great album for anyone who is interested in Native American flute music and Nakai is the best in this genre.

The Master.......2007-01-04

This CD replaced a tape that has been a favorite of mine. Wonderful.

AWESOME Native American Flute Music!.......2006-11-14

R. Carlos Nakai is the best of the best among those playing Native American flute, and this C.D. is his absolute best. It transports one into higher dimensions and brings peace. I can't say enough good stuff about this C.D. I had wanted it for years and I finally got it! It was worth the wait.

Album Description

Championed by some of music's most celebrated figures, Sara Gazarek has emerged as a strikingly original artist with limitless potential. In follow up to Yours, her widely hailed 2005 debut focusing on American Songbook standards, the 25-year-old Gazarek delivers a sensational follow-up on her sophomore album Return to You, seamlessly combining the intimacy of singer/songwriter stylings with the musical and improvisational elements of jazz. Blessed with a gorgeous, translucent voice, excellent pitch, and supple sense of time, Gazarek is steeped in the jazz tradition, but is not afraid to embrace the music that moves her generation.

Outstanding Jazz-Pop from a Gifted Young Singer.......2007-07-04

Amazon.com has put Sara Gazarek's "Yours" in my face for about a year and counting. When a multinational corporation does that to me, I tend to say "no" on principle. Not a good reason for ignoring Sara Gazarek, though, so I plunked down some cash on this and gave it a listen.

Maybe I should quit being so obstinate. This is an excellent recording. There is a group of fine young singers (I'm thinking of Jacqui Naylor, Erin Bode, Judith Owen and, to a lesser extent, Jackie Allen) who are jazz singers crossing into pop, and have released some good-to-great recordings in the past few years. This is toward the top of that milieu, and Sara Gazarek definitely deserves mention in the same breath with those others.

The first thing that hits me about this c.d. is how clean it sounds. Certainly Joel Moss and Chris Hobson, the sound engineers, deserve kudos for that; but I'm also talking about Sara Gazarek's voice. Her diction, phrasing, intonation and consistency of volume throughout the ranges of her voice are first-rate. And soundwise, her voice reminds me a lot of Karrin Allyson (and that's a very good thing!).

My favorites on this c.d. are: her gorgeous duet with pianist Josh Nelson on Billy Joel's "And So It Goes"; the addition of some even more gorgeous string bass bowing by Erik Kortes with Nelson on Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah"; and the closing track with strings, a heartfelt tribute to a mentor, Ludvig Girdland, entitled "Original 4."

As beautiful as those are, though, that is not to slight anything else on this c.d. (including and especially "Carey", a nod to the patron sainte of this group of singers, Joni Mitchell). The whole disc will get your alpha waves in order and put you into a state of bliss. It's worth a listen. No, it's worth a bunch of listens. RC

Sara Gazarek has done it again..........2007-06-10

Having seen her live at the Vic in Santa Monica on 2/22/07, The McCallum Theater in Palm Desert on 3/17/2007, and at the Catalina Jazz Club (aka Catalina Bar & Grill) in Hollywood on 4/23/07 with her previewing "most" of the songs on this album....it is just a pleasure to now have them in hand.

First off this album is in general a very mellow, mostly relective song list...with some very brightly lit exceptions ("Carey" by Joni Mitchell among others). Sara demonstrates a willing and highly competent ability to have musical expeditions beyond the safety of her very, upbeat, hopeful, easy going songs.. Her fans will appreciate all those "beyond-the-perimeter" efforts here.

The Billy Joel song "And So It Goes" trumps everything on this album IMHO ...and it translates from her live performances of this song to CD quite well...but it is obvious to see her do this piece in person that she is taken by the song almost like she was in a meditative trance....this song digs deep and you cannot avoid the cuts ....and the sequel on this album to this is probably the very aggressively sung piece written by Leonard Cohen, "Halleluah". It was surprising hearing her add this to her song list and her rendition of this with the wider acoustic capabilities of the McCallum left you stunned....it is an expansive composition..full of irony and Sara performed this flawlessly...maybe she will try Cohen's "Famous Blue Raincoat" as was done by Jennifer Warnes and available on Amazon ..in a new ablum which I hope Sara is starting to do RIGHT NOW! The bass play of Erik Kertes is worth the price of admission on "Halleluah". This studio created version is perfect...

You have to add again that her accompanying group is simply the best ..wow......They are a stand alone trio in their own rights...Josh Nelson (keyboards), Erik Kertes on bass, and Matt Slocum, percussion....all understated and perfectly matched to Sara Gazarek's moods and talents...and timing....so if you get a chance to go to her concerts..you are in for a night!!..and Sara is very, very generous in terms of the length of her performance play list...so do not miss her in person...her voice in person is no different than on her albums...

And yes there was a 2nd album after "Yours" and I would consider this "Return to You" Sara Gazarek's 3rd album. She really should promote and pop out a zillion of that "2nd album" as well ...think they might be available from her on her site...."Sara Gazarek Live at the Jazz Bakery"...this was not "incidental music" by any strectch of the imagination and MUST be included as a major part of her work so far..has to be...end of argument.

Buy "Return to You" ...buy "Yours" if you don't already have it...

and of course "Live at the Jazz Bakery" if you can figure out a way to do it.....

See Gazarek in person each and every time you can.see her web site....it has all the dates......


Meanwhile we will wait impatiently for her next CD....for now we will just wear these three CD's out until they are no longer silver but clear!!!

Sara is going to be THE premier jazz vocalist for then next few decades. Here in "Return to You" she has broken some of the ground rules and went to areas where you would not have anticipated.....and we have gladly followed her....slick, sophisticated, smooth, upbeat IS her bedrock style but she is capable of soaring elsewhere....this album provides ample proof of her artistic capabilities and range!!!!

Amazon.com

Sacred Spirit: Chants and Dances of the Native Americans is an 11-song journey bridging the gap between ancient and contemporary history, tradition and modern instrumentation. While it is impossible to fully realize such scope on a single disc, Sacred Spirit makes the choice to represent all indigenous Americans rather than become mired in the potentially divisive bog of politics and tribal allegiance. All but two melodies are entirely traditional, bringing together flute, drums, and vocals with a cello and keyboard wash. This marriage is most effective on the lovely bowing of "The Cradlesong," and the looping electro-acoustic beauty of "Wishes of Happiness & Prosperity." Elsewhere, synthetic elements are overwhelming, detracting from a song's essence, as with the spongy nervosity of "Elevation." An uneven offering, Sacred Spirit doesn't quite live up to its promise. A better choice is Earthbeat's Tribal Waters. --Paige La Grone

This Cd actually makes my mind wander back in time and wonder what it was like living as and indian. The CD is a must for any music lover!

Great CD.......2007-05-08

I had heard mixed reviews of this CD, but I found it to be amazing.

Very interesting. Worth buying........2007-04-12

There are a few tracks that are really great on this CD. I expected more Native America chanting/singing and less electronic music. That being said, I really like the CD. It does strike a spiritual chord during some of the tracks. There are reviews here that look like they belong in a magazine. I will just say that if you like World Music or New Age music (and they ARE different), I suspect this is a very worthwhile CD to add to your collection.

THE best CD i've bought in a long long time!!!!.......2007-04-09

I was watching one of Youtube's clip of the Grand Canyon's Skywalk that opened up last year on an Indian reservation. The clip has this most beautiful trance-like mellow groove song on it and i HAD to find out what or who it was by. Thanks to the helpful people who posted a reply, i was able to find and obtain this CD. The song on that Youtube clip was called [ Ly-O-Lay Ale Loya (Circle Dance)]. As the title of this comment says, it IS the best CD i've bought in a VERY a long time. In fact i'm listening to it now as i'm writing this.
The combination of Trance, Newage, Lounge and tranquil music is enough to take you away. I wanna say it's like a combination of Deep Forest meets Jam and Spoon meets Enigma. I just can't put it into better words than the other people who has posted the same comments about this CD. I HIGHLY recommend buying this and enjoying it! I just can't seem to get tire of it!

Soothing Native Music.......2007-03-30

I am a fan of infusion between tribal beat and modern music. This collection is wonderful infusion between tribal beat and enchanting vocal blended with modern instrumental sound. If you like Deep Forest you will definitely love this. It is not like Enigma or Magna Canta but it has it's own charm. I am going to buy all Sacred Spirit volumes after hearing this.

A collection of classic jazz interpretations and two original tracks penned by Sara's pianist, Yours brings together a solid cast of production talent in producer/arranger John Clayton (Diana Krall, Renee Olstead, Natalie Cole) and recording engineer and 15-time Grammy® Award winner Al Schmitt (Ray Charles, Diana Krall, Natalie Cole, Steely Dan) to create a lasting impression on first-time listeners.

Album highlights include Cole Porter's "Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye," Joni Mitchell's "The Circle Game," and "Amazing," an original song written by longtime collaborator Josh Nelson.

Customer Reviews:

Sara's voice is utter perfection.......2007-06-06

If you want to hear a great vocalist doing really interesting versions of standards, along with some wonderful original tunes, this is the album for you.

Sara's voice is pure honey, and her band is wonderful. Her drummer, Matt Slocum, is particularly talented. It's not often that I find myself hoping for a drum solo, but Matt's playing does that. He brings a lyricism to the drums that only a very few players out there do -- a true jazz drummer.

I had the great honor of having Sara and her band sing at my wedding, just before they'd started recording this album. I'm in the classical music business, and I asked a friend w/jazz connections if she could help me find a band for my wedding. She asked me what sort of things I like. When I replied, "I love Ella Fitzgerald," she said she knew exactly who I should hire. She approached Sara on my behalf, and after hearing her and the band at the Jazz Bakery in Los Angeles, I was blown away. I hired her on the spot. Sara's a very nice, down to earth person, on top of being a prodigious talent. I feel very blessed to have had her be a part of that special day -- made even more special by the great music she provided.

I can't wait to get my hands on her next album.

clean crisp voice.......2007-05-19

this is the first I have heard of her and what a refreshing clean voice. I put her right up there with Linda Eder and Others. I can't wait for her new CD- sometime this year.

AWESOME!!!!.......2007-01-17

I first saw Sara in Seattle....although I'm from TX. Hubby and I were totally enthralled. I have worn out the CD we purchased that evening. I have seen her live several times since...she continues to blow me away. If you close your eyes you would think she was in her 30's....such maturity in her voice. I attended another concert in Seattle and was able to get her "in-between" CD to hold us over until the next CD comes out....it is just as awesome!!
There are not enough words to describe Josh either!! Where did he learn to play and write?!! WOW!!! I love all of his work!!
I can't wait for the new CD!! You will miss out on totally awesome music if you don't buy this now!!!

This girl will be a household name one day........2006-11-22

I heard Sara in Dallas last weekend, and she has it. That special star quality and all the talent to make it big - remember this name - you'll hear it often someday. In a sea of no-talent singers in the mainstream these days, Sara is a welcome audition. Don't miss this one.

Fabulous!.......2006-11-10

This Cd is one of the best I have ever bought. Song after song is intriguing. I expecially enjoy the pianists original compositions. Sara Garerek caught me with Blackbird, thrilled me with Cheek to Cheek and amazed me with Amazing. I am sure you will enjoy this too!

Commissioned to come up with a soundtrack for the 1994 Turner Network Television special The Native Americans, Robbie Robertson delivered some of his most haunting and evocative work to date. Combining the sleek atmospherics of 1991's Storyville with traditional tribal chanting and instrumentation, Music for the Native Americans often manages to sound both contemporary and timeless. Unfortunately, Robertson's lyrics are often as clunky as they are well intentioned--though brief, his liner notes are far more powerful and informative--and his gravelly speak-singing is consistently outclassed by Native American guest vocalists Pura Fe, Soni, and Jen, whose "Mahk Jchi (Heartbeat Drum Song)" is also the album's highlight. File under "flawed but interesting." --Dan Epstein

As for me and MY family..........2007-05-28

we love it!!! I had this CD when the PBS show came out, and my eldest daughter (now 21) loved it. We listened to it every night. Then my youngest came along....and scratched it by accident. So I HAD to get another. She loves it too. I've heard some say it's not representative of "true" NA music. Personally, whether it is or not is nothere or there for me. I know I like the music, and my family does as well. I will always have a copy of this in my library.

Good and powerful.......2007-02-11

This CD has a great collection of songs. Never heard the artist before but he sure could deliver good and powerful songs. Highly recommended for a taste of something nice and different.

Soul Reaching.......2007-01-21

I must repeat what others have said; awesome! It's been since August that I've purchased this CD and have played it daily. My family and I have never tired of listening to it. Ignore that negative review please, you have to have this CD, don't miss another minute of not having it. In all honesty it will move your soul, as if the ancestors themselves guided his words and reasoning. You'll be spellbound, and yet moved to be creative as well. It awakens what has stayed silenced within. Nothing negative, all positive, no more illusions. Keep listening to the ancestors words Robbie, and make more CD's!

just judging the music.......2007-01-07

Seems like most of the negative reviews have more to do with gripes with Robertson's personal life than this album. I don't know much about that. Just judging this album by the music the comes out of my speakers, it is incredibly good. Incredibly, incredibly good.

Awesome Music.......2006-07-03

Robbie Robinson is great and this is a wonderful cd. I heard it first as a tape years ago and was so glad to find it on cd at a reasonable cost. I love the chants and the women's voices are beautiful.

Given the multi-million-copy selling success of Sacred Spirit: Chants and Dances of the Native Americans, its follow-up, Sacred Spirit II is bound to have a built-in audience. Like its predecessor, the collection mixes chant and song with dance beats and electronic instrumentation. While tracks such as "Dela Dela" and "Yane-Heja-Hee" meld these elements most effectively, the overall effect of the synthesized sound is heavily over the top and distracting from the gentle melodies and heartfelt cries of Native music at its best. A prime example is the tender and lovely female vocal on "May You Walk in Sunshine," obscured by overly aggressive accompaniment. A more solid and aesthetically pleasing choice for the genre is Prophecy: A Native American Collection, which achieves a finer balance of modern and ancient. --Paige La Grone

Amazing!.......2007-06-13

If you enjoyed Sacred Spirit I, you will love this one too! I can't stop listening to it.

Relaxing With Sacred Spirits II.......2007-05-07

A new type of music for the soul. It's wonderful. It's beautiful. It's exciting. And worth listening to. It's Native American chants and dances
done with some of the most amazing music I've ever heard.

The music has a rhythmic beat that's very catchy, but very soothing. I enjoyed it immensely.

Yet another excellent CD from the same producers.......2007-04-22

Continuing from the first great CD, Sacred Spirit II brings you more of the great mix of Native American music with modern grooves and beats.
I highly recommend this CD as well !!!

Good but not excellent as Vol 1.......2007-01-26

I expected more of this volume since the first one is real extraordinary, and seems to be hard to beat. However is good enough to have it. Good production and most of the tracks are in the same mood of the first volume.

FABULOUS!.......2007-01-15

We bought this CD while visiting Arizona last summer. We loved it so much that we have purchased this copy through Amazon for a friend as a Christmas Gift. He loves it too! This is a great combination of spiritual, Native music and chants along with "pop" melodies. I normally play inspirational CD's....lots of Native flute music, and meditation CD's but this one (and also Sacred Spirit Vol. 1) I can play when I have guests over and they do not fall asleep!
Love it!

This collection of solo flute pieces from Navajo-Ute musician R. Carlos Nakai is an evocative delight. The album consists of mostly original material, from the composition "Canyon Reverie," to the improvisational "In Media Res," to "Athabascan Song," an arrangement of a traditional song. The latter in particular stands out, with a faster rhythm and more lilting melody than most of the other pieces. There's also "Ancient Dreams," performed on a bone whistle; the instrument almost exceeds the upper range of human hearing, and Nakai occasionally sounds like he's imitating birdcalls. A classically trained musician, Nakai blends musical traditions to create a whole that reminds one, on occasion, of Japanese shakuhachi music. --Genevieve Williams

TRADITIONAL .......2007-07-20

THIS OF ALL OF MY COLLECTION OF CARLOS NAKAI, IS MY VERY FAVORITE AND LISTEN TO IT EVERYDAY. WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT IT WAS IN CASSETTE. I WORE IT OUT. WHEN CD CAME ALONG I WAS ABLE TO PURCHASE IT AGAIN. IF YOU LONG FOR THE DAYS GONE BY IN NATIVE AMERICAN HISTORIC MUSIC RELM, THIS IS FOR YOU.

Simply Enjoy.......2007-06-02

Transports you to a place of Healing. May the Creator watch over you Carlos Nakai. Best (contemporary) Native Music around.

Haunting.......2007-01-04

Makes a strong connection between earth and spirit. It doesn't get any better than this.

Flute-tastic........2005-11-09

This is an album I got once after a trip to New Mexico, and obviously every time I hear it I'm transported right back to Santa Fe, on a cool night with the smell of mesquite in the air. I'm no expert, but his native american flute is so wonderful and peaceful, and sounds just as I'd expect and want it to. The music is quite relaxing and great to daydream to, and I'll assume "Earth Spirit" is in many a massage parlor. Highly recommended.

Powerful healing tool.......2005-10-08

Have used this recording for many years in my practice and needed to replace it in CD form.

Amazon.com essential recording

Nakai's most recent outing finds him returning once again to the simple under-produced style that he pioneered on Changes. This program includes 10 traditional tunes from the Kiowa, Lakota, Dakota, Zuni, and Cheyenne; seven of his own compositions; and "Lake That Speaks," from the second movement of James DeMars's "Two World Concerto." On this album the Native melodies sound forceful, almost triumphant, partially due to the short, staccato bursts that Nakai often uses to begin a melodic line--sounds that bring to mind a child's laughter or the contented chirping of a dawn bird. For the Cheyenne "Victory Song" and the Dakota/Lakota melody "The Great Mystery Hears Me" Nakai uses more sustained notes than usual, and the clear, piercing tone of his flute illuminates the heart like a ray of midday sunshine. --j. poet

soothing and wonderful.......2007-03-26

I have several Nakai CD's and this is another beautiful work. I play it at work all day long.

GREAT MUSIC!.......2007-03-12

Another wonderful addition to my cd library.
I like the sound of Carlos Nakai and the far West.

Thank you.

Highly recommended!

An absolute must have.......2006-03-28

I heard this beautiful music in the Cliff Dwelling museum in Colorado Springs (Manitou), CO and immediately had to purchase it. You can hear the history and be taken back in time with this music. It's theraputic and even the kids calm when it's played.
