  • House that trane built: story of impulse records

    - 35.99

    From the Publisher: The legendary Impulse record label marks its 45th anniversary with the publication of the book The House That Trane Built: The Story of Impulse Records by Ashley Kahn; the release of 12 Best-Of Impulse CDs (including a 4-CD companion collection to the book); the national broadcast of the radio program The House That Trane Built (based on the book); and the kickoff of an international tour by the all-star group, McCoy Tyner Septet - An Impulse Tribute. As an overwhelming majority of jazz fans already know, the most exciting jazz of the 1960s and '70s wore orange and black, the colors made famous by Impulse Records. In its heyday, Impulse was the legendary label that forged an identity with its signature adventurous sound, eye-catching design and music that ranged from swing to the avant-garde. Impulse recordings by John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Charles Mingus, Pharoah Sanders, McCoy Tyner, Keith Jarrett and Archie Shepp were part of the spiritual soundtrack of the time. Add timeless titles by Count Basie, Art Blakey, Duke Ellington, Johnny Hartman, Benny Carter, Coleman Hawkins, Ben Webster, Johnny Hodges -- and a tribute to this wide and enduring body of work is overdue. The singular relationship that developed between John Coltrane and Impulse Records gives this multi-pronged project its title - The House That Trane Built. One can plan to bring all these efforts into one well-timed wave but it doesn't necessarily just happen, says Ashley Kahn who coordinated the celebration. In this case it did, with the result being that more will know about this great record label and its lasting impact on American culture, and also hear the timeless music that Impulse Records produced. The 4-CD collection The House That Trane Built -- companion to the book - features 38 label-defining tracks from the Impulse vaults, from Oliver Nelson's Stolen Moments to John Coltrane's Acknowledgment (from A Love Supreme) to Pharoah Sanders's The Creator Has a Master Plan .

  • Sonata for violin & chamber orchestra

    - 14.99

    Many young violinists' debut CDs come and go without making much of a mark, oftentimes less because the performers are untalented as because their repertoire failed to stand out in a crowded field. Another disc of Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, or Kreisler has to be truly outstanding to stand out.Daniel Hope scores on both of these points: he and his collaborators give excellent performances, and he (and, presumably, his teachers, managers, and label executives) chose a program which cannot help but stand out from the pack. The danger in such a program--lesser-known contemporary works--is failing to live up to the technical and interpretive challenges. Hope needn't worry.A child prodigy, Hope was just 21 when this program was recorded, and he had already had the opportunity to discuss the Schnittke and Takemitsu works with their composers. The performances here are indeed excellent, and Hope has no difficulty distinguishing himself from his peers.REVIEWS:International Record Review (3/00, p.77) - "...cannily programmed and thoughtfully executed..."

  • Circle maker

    - 22.99

    John Zorn is a music innovator with a reputation for blending vastly different styles and creating something new: hardcore punk and jazz, Italian movie music and cartoon themes. Here he combines the tradition of Jewish klezmer with New York avant-garde jazz. The result is both fresh and timeless, touching upon ancient songs no one has heard before.THE CIRCLE MAKER is actually two separate albums, combined by a theme (as well as packaging). The first features the Masada String Trio, part of Zorn's Masada klezmer project. Because of the instrumentation, it has the more traditional sound of the two CDs. The second disc adds a percussive element by expanding the trio to a sextet. Drummer Joey Baron and percussionist Cyro Baptista give these tracks an international flair. Guitarist Marc Ribot lends his guitarwork to the project, including some fascinating use of controlled feedback.

  • Piccola offerta musicale

    - 15.99

    Though his fame and fortune may have come through film scores, composer Nino Rota wrote an equal number of "serious" works. As performed by the Ex Novo Ensemble, this selection of Rota's chamber music illustrates the charm that drove the world's greatest filmmakers to seek out the composer for their projects.The child prodigy brought the same sense of wonderment to all his compositions. This spirit pervades his work. Evocative of many moods, his work maintains a fairly uniform tempo, using a more sophisticated vocabulary to convey the emotion. Ex Novo Ensemble interprets the pieces with a sweeping, airy voice. In particular, the pastoral pleasures of the Quintet for Flute, Oboe, Viola, Cello and Harp give the listener a euphoric sense of grandeur.Though he may always be better remembered for his work with directors such as Coppola and Fellini, Rota's music for the concert hall is every bit as beautiful as that made for the silver screen.REVIEWS:American Record Guide (5-6/00, p.177) - "...Nino Rota's music...is old- fashioned yet strongly personal, decorous yet full of sparkle and vital- ity[,]...contemplative melancholy and gently smiling irony. Beautiful melodies tumble all over each other in generous profusion..."International Record Review (3/00, p.78) - "...The Ex Novo Ensemble are consumated musicians and these performances are both technically excellent and emotionally vibrant....the recording quality is of a very high order...out-audiophiling most...audiophilie CDs...touted as such..."
