101.I Like This One by: Joe Stilgoe October 13, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £13.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £9.98 You Save: £4.01 (29%) Prices subject to change.
I Like This One Joe Stilgoe is an absolute genius, and probably one of the best new jazz musicians around, watch out Jamie Cullum!. This CD is a masterpiece and will win over many new converts to Jazz. The title track 'I like this one' is brilliant and could easily be released as a single. We recently saw him on his 3rd night at Ronnie Scott's (prior to his uk tour)and he was on sparkling form, great music and wonderful humerous stories between songs. He is suitably supported by Ben and Chris on Percussion and double bass and they are faultless and a joy to listen to, an amazing trio. If you buy one Jazz CD this Christmas make sure this is it.

102.Philtre by: Nitin Sawhney May 02, 2005

this is my second Nitin CD having started with Prophecy back in 2001 which I received courtesy of Pete Waddingham at V2 Records A&R and played a lot on my local radio stations...it's truly lamentable that I didn't get any of his other work until now, 6 years later. This is a different album indeed to Prophecy and a wealth again of guest vocalists. I was transported back to my fave New Orleans by the snappy blues intro to Dead Man then smiley and amazed at the smooth switch to eastern indian vocals and themes within a 'blues' track.. a classic example of the blending of genres which Nitin presents so well. This is followed up by the recited raga like Rag Doll then launches into the wonderful swirl of indian faux 'celtic' orchestrations of Mausam, ... Read More:

103.Four Classic Albums (The Modern Jazz Quartet/Django/Fontessa/The Modern Jazz Quartet At Music Inn) by: Modern Jazz Quartet June 30, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £8.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.98 You Save: £5.01 (56%) Prices subject to change. Used Price:
I'm not sure why the decision was taken to ignore chronological sequence, but CD 1 kicks off with the group-titled April 1957 album, before regressing to the earlier "Django", noteworthy for the four-part "La Ronde Suite" and for drummer Kenny Clarke's last studio appearance with the quartet. The second CD contains two 1956 albums; the earlier stately "Fontessa" which drew inspiration from the improvised form of the Renaissance commedia dell'arte, and the August "Music Inn" session at which clarinettist Jimmy Giuffre guested on three tracks. This is essentially cerebral music, appreciation of which is aided by the crisp and clear remastering. A considerable bargain.

...nothing better to warm the cockles on a cold winters day. Really cheering stuff if you like it slightly quirky, and let's face it English eccentricity can't be beaten when delivered as the Temperance Seven do.

106.For All I Care by: The Bad Plus October 20, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £16.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £12.98 You Save: £4.01 (24%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £9.55
The US jazz trio plus vocalist take on a whole host of covers, mainly from a rock background, and including songs by Yes, Pink Floyd, Wilco, Heart and even the Bee Gees. And it works very well indeed. If you're used to the originals, these versions are something of a shock, but this difference makes them interesting and original.

107.The Drift by: Scott Walker May 08, 2006

I just never get tired of listening to this. Completely addictive. At first it seems unbearably dark, even after Tilt, but the humour slowly emerges. To quote the first song "You could easily picture it in the current top ten". Er...not really, and just as well. A picturesque nightmare.

109.Most Requested Songs by: Susannah McCorkle October 15, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £34.26
Susannah McCorkle's notes to this compilation are so good-humored, as is her general approach to interpreting the songs, that it's a shock to find out it was her last project before committing suicide. The choice of "For all we know" as the last track is a bit shiver-inducing. Having said that, this is a hugely enjoyable selection covering her entire career. Highlights are "Waters of March" delivered like a magic charm, "I thought about you" a real late-night feel with a perfect tenor solo from the great Frank Wess and a nicely arranged tribute to Chet Baker "Look for the silver lining." In fact, all the tracks are highlights, not a "best of" but a "most requested" like the ultimate Susannah McCorkle gig which, sadly, none of us will ever see.

110.Songs for Swingin' Lovers by: Frank Sinatra November 02, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £8.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.98 You Save: £4.01 (45%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.99
This album is simply Sinatra at his very best. If, like me, you starting listening to Sinatra because you liked his classics, like New York New York and My Way, then you are in for a real treat. As good as the above are, this album showcases Sinatra's special talent. Each track is given the treatment, he carries the beat and your feet just cannot stop tapping. The album is without doubt one of his very best. No Sinatra collection would be complete without it.
