201.Rock Swings by: Paul Anka October 03, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £16.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.98 You Save: £12.01 (71%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.83
Rock Swings is the first of two albums by Paul Anka. The man who famously penned "My Way" covers some contempory songs "his way" in a swing/big band manner. If your a lover of differing cover versions of songs you love, then is is one for the eclectic collection. Do check out the second album Classic Songs: My Way and enjoy.

202.Ne Me Quitte Pas by: Jacques Brel March 15, 2004

I came to this album already knowing some of Jacques Brel's songs through English translations, and I suppose I was already a sort of proxy fan. Judy Collins, Scott Walker and others popularized Brel songs in the 60's and 70's, but it was still a revelation to me when I was given a vinyl version of this album and heard them sung for the first time by the man himself. All other renditions suddenly paled in comparison with the original. Compare, for example, Terry Jacks' 'Seasons in the Sun' with 'Le Moribund', or any of the many renditions of 'If You Go Away' with 'Ne Me Quitte Pas'. No contest! There are no dud songs on this album. Some of the tunes you will recognise, and those you don't will grow on you. Brel's voice has a biting edge ... Read More:

203.Jazzmatazz Vol.1 by: Guru May 17, 1993

...........but somehow I got to hear this album in the early/mid nighties - possibly through Guru's association with the jazz guitarist Ronny Jordan who features on this disc. Jazzmatazz vol.1 and the subsequent Jazzmatazz albums seem to elevate themselves out of the regular bitching of rap and hip hop through some excellent songs with great song structure, melodies and variety. Whether this is due to Guru, who it has to be said is really 'into himself' as demonstrated by a number of self penned narratives on how good he is on both this and other jazzmatazz albums or whether it is some of the exceelent contributors that appear throughout the record. Either way he desreves credit for either creating or facilitating a number of tremendous records. ... Read More:

204.Go: Remastered by: Dexter Gordon May 03, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £4.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.98 You Save: £1.01 (20%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.99
This is a cracking album and I totally agree with the other reviewer as this is a disc that is frequently in my CD player. Although my preference would be for the other Blue Note recorded in Paris with Kenny Clarke and Bud Powell, this is a hugely enjoyable set, Dexter playing with his customary wry sense of humour and backed by a hard-hitting rythmn section. Like many other discs of the era on the Blue Note label, the recording quality is good and the standard of material is very high. No duff tracks on this one. Dexter's style of playing with his huge, impressive tone was unique - owing something to the more Romantic players of the generation of Coleman Hawkins but taking on the harmonies and rythmns of Be-bop. This is a good introduction ... Read More:

205.Brad Mehldau Trio Live by: Brad Mehldau Trio, Jeff Ballard, Larry Grenadier March 24, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £15.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £9.98 You Save: £6.01 (38%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £8.64
There is no denying that Brad Mehldau is one of the most instantly recognisable jazz performers out there. Just a handful of notes - that sharp touch, the detached articulation in the right, the jabbed clusters in the left, the two-handed play and the moments his left wants to detach from his right - and you just know it is him at the piano. Mehldau's playing has some real strengths. His ability to take a melody apart and put it back together again is in ample evidence on this live set from the celebrated Village Vanguard. It can be heard on standards such as 'The Very Thought of You' or 'More Than You Know': the themes will be familiar but chances are you will not have heard theme quite like this. And Brad deconstructs his own themes (the ... Read More:

206.The Complete Studio Recorded Duets by: Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong March 31, 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: £7.78
When you combine two of the most charismatic performers in all of jazz history on one album you know that you are on to a winner. This album did not disappoint. Ella's elegant, pristine and polished vocals contrast perfectly with the coarse, thick, rough edged vocals of Louis. I have recently come across an artist called Alison Burns on myspace whose music sounds very similar to that of Ella.

This is simply an astonishing record that demonstrates the exceptional levels of communication that four people can achieve. Yes it's jazz, but not as you know it and you will find the hairs on the back of your neck standing up over and again and the music expresses thoughts you never thought you could have. After 45 minutes of the most intense power, the set is topped off by "Peace Piece", a moment of sublime beauty with just one classical guitar. This is the sort of music that makes you priveleged to be a member of the human race.

210.Art of Motion by: Andy McKee April 28, 2008

'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.
