The Byrds – (Untitled) (1970) [1998, MFSL Remastered]

The Byrds - (Untitled) (1970) [1998, MFSL Remastered]

(Untitled) is the ninth album by the American rock band The Byrds and was released in September 1970 on Columbia Records. It is a double album, with the first LP featuring live concert recordings from two early 1970 performances in New York City and with the second LP consisting of new studio recordings Continue reading “The Byrds – (Untitled) (1970) [1998, MFSL Remastered]”

Rosemary Clooney may have seemed to be a surprising choice to be featured with Duke Ellington & His Orchestra, but this collaboration is extremely successful in spite of the fact that Clooney was unable to join the band in the studio due to complications of a very difficult pregnancy. The solution was for the band to record the music (after Billy Strayhorn made the first of several trips to Los Angeles to consult with her). The results are stunning and not in the least bit canned, due to the professionalism of all parties involved and a stellar engineering of the separately recorded tracks.

Sarah Vaughan – A Time In My Life (1971) {1987, MFSL Remastered}

Label: MFSL | USA | Cat#: MFCD 855 | Genre: Vocal Jazz

Sarah Vaughan brings an almost chameleon-like presence to this album, which encompasses a decidedly — almost defiantly — contemporary repertory. Her gospel approach to “Imagine” could only have delighted John Lennon at the time, while for “Inner City Blues” she embraces a fiercely soulful jazz approach, the horn accompaniment in particular romping over the tune as much as she does.

Sarah Vaughan – The Complete Sarah Vaughan Live In Japan (1973) [1987, MFSL Remastered]

Sarah Vaughan - The Complete Sarah Vaughan Live In Japan (1973) [1987, MFSL Remastered]

This two-CD set contains all of the music that Sarah Vaughan recorded during her Tokyo concert for Mainstream. The 49-year-old singer is heard at the height of her powers, really digging into the standards and making magic out of such numbers as “Poor,” “‘Round Midnight,” “Willow Weep,” “My Funny Valentine,” “Summertime,” and “Bye Bye Blackbird.” This two-fer (which finds Sassy accompanied by pianist Carl Schroeder, bassist John Gianelli, and drummer Jimmy Cobb) gives one a definitive look at the brilliant (and sometimes miraculous) singer.

Kool & The Gang – Gold (2005) [2008, Japanese SHM-CD]

Kool & The Gang - Gold (2005) [2008, Japanese SHM-CD]

Believe it or not, Gold is the first compilation with U.S. distribution to provide a fair and rather thorough glance at Kool & the Gang’s career from 1969 through 1987. Dozens upon dozens of other sets either focus on one of the group’s distinct eras or attempt clumsily to appease those who want “Jungle Boogie” and “Joanna” in one spot.

The Wallflowers – Bringing Down The Horse (1996)

The Wallflowers - Bringing Down The Horse (1996)

No sophomore jinx here. Of course, there are only two Wallflowers left from their first release, so this could be called a whole new band. No matter, because the music here is assured and contemporary with just enough of the past showing through to catch one’s eye. Jakob Dylan has been polishing his compositional chops and it really shows on such cuts as “Invisible City,” the hit “6th Avenue Heartache” and especially “One Headlight.” A fine effort indeed.

Barclay James Harvest – Child Of The Universe: The Essential Collection (2013)

Barclay James Harvest - Child Of The Universe: The Essential Collection (2013)

Throughout the ’70s and ’80s, England’s Barclay James Harvest were one of prog rock’s most enduring acts, releasing a steady string of well-crafted albums for Harvest Records and Polydor while never quite breaking through to the mainstream success enjoyed by similar acts such as the Moody Blues, Jethro Tull, and Pink Floyd.
