The Church – Starfish (1988) [2021, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

The Church - Starfish (1988) [2021, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Signing to Arista might have seemed an unusual move to start with, getting produced by L.A. studio types like Waddy Wachtel even more so. But for the Church the rewards were great — if sometimes too clean around the corners in comparison to the song-for-song masterpiece Heyday, Starfish set up the band’s well-deserved breakthrough in the States.

Kelly Rowland – Simply Deep (2002) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Kelly Rowland - Simply Deep (2002) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

It seems hard to believe now, but at the beginning of 2003, it appeared that underdog Kelly Rowland might usurp her fellow Destiny’s Child member Beyoncé in the solo career stakes, having scored a U.S. chart-topper and a U.K. number one album shortly after her bandmate’s Austin Powers-related “Work It Out” failed to even make it into the Billboard Hot 100.

Omnibus Wind Ensemble – Music By Frank Zappa (2001) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Omnibus Wind Ensemble - Music By Frank Zappa (2001) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

The Omnibus Wind Ensemble’s interest in Frank Zappa’s music dates back to the beginning of the 1980s, almost from their very beginnings. Under the motto “From Mozart to Zappa”, which also became the title of their first, widely acclaimed CD on the Opus3 label, they have had many of Frank Zappa’s compositions in their repertoire over the years. This Multi-Channel SACD contains 14 tracks of the music of Frank Zappa. Continue reading “Omnibus Wind Ensemble – Music By Frank Zappa (2001) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

Valerie Joyce – The Look Of Love (2007) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Valerie Joyce - The Look Of Love (2007) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Vocalist Valerie Joyce has been performing as a musician on the Seattle music scene since 1994. Born in Japan to an American father and Japanese mother, she was exposed to classical music through her mother’s piano playing and extensive record collection. After college, she moved to Seattle where she regularly appears with a variety of jazz ensembles. ‘The Look of Love’ is Valerie Joyce’s much-anticipated follow-up to her Chesky debut, featuring elegantly chic original arrangements of classic pieces from Burt Bacharach & Hal David’s extensive catalogue.

Harry Nilsson - Nilsson Schmilsson (1971) [2020, MFSL Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Mobile Fidelity’s hybrid SACD of Nilsson Schmilsson features unadulterated transparency and visceral solidity. The Brooklyn native’s three-and-a-half octave range and beautiful phrasing come across with captivating depth, crystalline purity, and an emotional scope that stretches from tenderness to melodrama to sarcasm and beyond.

Eleanor McEvoy – Early Hours (2004) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Eleanor McEvoy - Early Hours (2004) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

‘Early Hours’ takes Eleanor McEvoy’s music to new heights. Couched now in a mature jazz/blues context, her melodic and sensitive songs – packed as ever with wry, insightful social observation – benefit from first rate performances. “It would be a tragedy given the exquisite understated magnificence and warmth of these 42 minutes if all Eleanor McEvoy were remembered is ‘fl Woman’s Heart”. Eleanor’s Dido-before-Dido voice and some of the best happy/sad songs she has ever written plus deconstructed classics by Chuck Berry and Bert Jansch, this is her ‘White Ladder’, her ‘Life for Rent’. a triumph. MOJO. Continue reading “Eleanor McEvoy – Early Hours (2004) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

Joe Jackson – Body And Soul (1984) [2020, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Joe Jackson - Body And Soul (1984) [2020, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Body and Soul has Joe Jackson playing both hot- and cool-styled jazz songs, getting some worthy help from producer David Kershenbaum, who also lent Jackson a hand on his I’m the Man album. This is Jackson at his smoothest, from the fragility of “Not Here Not Now” to the earnestness of “Be My Number Two.” While both this song and “Happy Ending” charted fairly low in the U.K., the explosive “You Can’t Get What You Want” went to number 15 in the United States Continue reading “Joe Jackson – Body And Soul (1984) [2020, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

Uriah Heep - Magic Night (2004) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

This is the stunning film & recording of Uriah Heep live in concert at the Astoria Theatre, London on November 8th 2003, featuring a glittering array of hits and special guest appearances by former Heep vocalist John Lawton and Heather Findlay of Mostly Autumn. This is the definitive proof that in the 21st Century Heep keep on rocking stronger than ever.

Pianist Oscar Peterson and violinist Stephane Grappelli meet up for this Scandinavian concert. The “backup” crew (guitarist Joe Pass, bassist Niels Pedersen, and drummer Mickey Roker) isn’t too bad either. In addition to a closing blues (which is highlighted by tradeoffs from Peterson and Grappelli), the quintet performs five veteran standards with creativity and swing.

Oscar Peterson, Ray Brown, Milt Jackson – The Very Tall Band (1999) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Oscar Peterson, Ray Brown, Milt Jackson - The Very Tall Band (1999) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

This is one of the best post-stroke Oscar Peterson sessions in the catalog, thanks in great part to the distinguished company he keeps (Ray Brown and Milt Jackson) and the stimulating atmosphere of the live setting (New York’s Blue Note club). Right from the first track, “Ja-Da,” you can tell that this is going to be a fun session, as the slippery, swinging, totally interlocked, totally assured way in which these vets react to each other kicks in immediately.
