'Amazing' is the only word for Andy McKee's playing. The only other modern guitarist who comes to mind with his level of skill and ability to create whole soundscapes of magic and mystery is that of the late and much-missed Michael Hedges. Unfortunately, Amazon do not provide sound samples - but that's no problem. Search for Andy by name in Youtube and you will find a huge number of high quality recordings of him playing .... so you can hear him and also see how he does what he does. Stunning.

There's really nothing to say about this apart from its the Rat Pack live on CD & DVD at almost their peak.

Yes the DVD is in black & white & yes some of the 'banter' seems a bit dated but this is 5 star entertainment from 3 stars.

If you think it was only Frank, think again - Dean & Sammy show (not for the first time) they too were stars.

Dean could really swing & Sammy could really sing.

But, for me Frank is simply overwealming, his timing, his phasing & most of all his sheer stage presence shines thru.

Oh yes, the 'orchestra' is non other than Count Basie's & the conductor is Quincey Jones!

The package is nicely rounded off by an interesting ... Read More:

So often "the very best of" albums can be disappointing. That was not the case with this marvellous Satchmo compilation. I have no other albums by this marvellous man and wanted something definitive with everything I'd ever heard of by him in one place. This double CD gave me exactly what I wanted.

You only have to look at the track listings to start to smile or feel nostalgic. There are so many truely great songs; classic Satchmo tracks and less well known but equally loved tunes. There are great duets, many of which have a really fresh immediate feel with bits of conversation and banter between the artists as they sing.

Some of the recordings have the hiss and crackle of old LPs. I personally think this adds to the charm of ... Read More:

124.Pearls by: Elkie Brooks

You would think that songs from the 1970s would sound a little dated by now; but then you wouldn't be talking about Elkie Brooks' Pearls, the CD that gave me a heads up 30 years ago and which recently made me rediscover her on CD (now that I had nothing on which to play my original vinyl copy).

Her gravelly voice goes so well with the words, which will get you sobbing into your glass of Beaujolais if you are in the least bit emotional.

If you don't know of Elkie Brooks' music then this is the CD to buy first.

125.Hot Rats by: Frank Zappa
April 01, 2002
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Music : Hot Rats
Has to be Zappa's most overrated album! Not nearly as good as "Were only in it for the Money", "Absolutely Free" or "Freak out". Hell its probably not even as good as "Burnt weeny Sandwich"!

This is an amazing album by Kenny G. If you are a fan of Latin music or not, you have to listen to this. It has great tunes, very relaxing, chilling, and creates a warm, sensual, and magical atmosphere. You can tell it is Kenny G without hesitation, it has the fluent, addictive and smooth touch to it. My favorite is Mirame Bailer, it is the best title on this album. This is a must buy, great music, great Rhythm, and it is Kenny G, so you won't regret it.

The star rating is for the music. Michael sings many popular songs and must face the possibility of being compared to the people that made tem popular. Many people in that position do funny things with the music, thinking that they have to make it unique; Michael does not have to do this (with little exception). He is just being his self and it is great just the way he is.
On the other hand this package also contains a DVD which can make great jewelry or maybe hung from a tree to scare birds. It is like one big sound bite; there is no constancy or course to his rattling. On the technical side the soundtrack is out of sing with the video. The video itself looks like the Blair Witch Project; it can not hold steady or focus.

I bought this dvd a year ago and my brother 'stole' it from me. To no suprise I bought a second one and my friend made it 'disappear'(with my blessing of course). Yes I'm buying it for the third time in less than 24 months. This alone should tell you how good the music is on this dvd. Buy it even if you do not like jazz, you will not regret it.

Great music, BUT ... The DVD appears to have some sort of protection on it, and will not play on my computer. I am not happy about this and will be returning the album. Items like this should have a warning about incompatibility with computer playback in the advert, so that we know when not to buy!
