"Music For Two" (04/27/2004) Jazz Instrument Fleck, Bela, Sony ClassicalIncludes a bonus DVD of film footage and audio tracks. Personnel: Bela Fleck (guitar, banjo); Edgar Meyer (piano, double bass). Includes liner notes by Bela Fleck, Edgar Meyer. Banjo player Bela Fleck and bassist Edgar Meyer are genre-benders extraordinaire--both incorporate elements of classical, jazz, bluegrass, and free improvisation into their unique, technically advanced music. On MUSIC FOR TWO, a selection of live performances recorded between 2001 and 2003, the duo displays their remarkable penchant for combining European classical structure with looser, improvisation-based American forms in a tightly knit, sympathetic fashion. Fleck's skill on the banjo is so formidable, and draws on such a wide range of musical influences, that the instrument is virtually liberated from its conventional associations (namely straight time and bluegrass motifs). Meyer's double bass, whether plucked or bowed, proves the perfect complement to the thin, high-end sound of the banjo. At times studied and delicate, at others free and furious, Meyer and Fleck range across the musical map on their own compositions (many of which were written collaboratively), as well as on treatments of Bach (an arrangement of "The Well-Tempered Clavier"), Eccles, and even Miles Davis. Wit, precision, and top-drawer musicianship abound on this eclectic live set, which includes a bonus DVD featuring footage of the duo in concert.

"The Centennial Collection" (08/24/2004) Jazz Instrument Hawkins, Coleman, Bluebird RCA (USA)This release includes a bonus DVD featuring live performance footage. Personnel include: Coleman Hawkins (saxophone); Don Redman (vocals, clarinet, alto saxophone, baritone saxophone); Eddie Condon (banjo); Pee Wee Russell (clarinet); Dizzy Gillespie, Fats Navarro (trumpet); Glenn Miller (trombone); Fletcher Henderson, Hank Jones (piano); Gene Krupa, Max Roach (drums). Recording information: 1929 - 1957. There are numerous Coleman Hawkins compilations on the market, but THE CENTENNIAL COLLECTION encapsulates the span of Hawk's career (from 1929's hot- swing "Wherever There's a Will, Baby" to 1963's hard-bop duet with Sonny Rollins "Just Friends"), giving an excellent, condensed overview of the jazz legend's music. The disc represents Hawkins's stylistic blueprint for the modern use of the tenor sax, which is blazingly clear on early takes of "Hello Lola" and "Dinah." (Hawkins was arguably the first to establish a unique vocabulary and an utterly distinctive voice on the instrument.) Moreover, Hawkins was a tirelessly imaginative player who constantly reinvented his own tunes, always searching for new ideas (he was one of the few swing players to adapt readily to bop), as one can hear on the rhythmically and harmonically advanced improvisations of 1956's "There'll Never Be Another You." Hawk is justifiably loved for his ballad playing, and THE CENTENNIAL COLLECTION includes stellar examples, particularly 1934's tone-perfect "Hocus Pocus" and his undisputed masterpiece--the '39 recording of "Body and Soul." Hearing the balance, beauty, and intensity of this tune is worth the price of admission alone. Fortunately, there are 19 other fine tracks, and a bonus DVD of archival footage to boot.

"The Centennial Collection" (04/20/2004) Jazz Instrument Miller, Glenn, Bluebird RCA (USA)Personnel includes: Glenn Miller; Tex Beneke (vocals, tenor saxophone); Ray Eberle (vocals). Recorded between 1939 & 1943. Includes liner notes by Ed Polic. THE CENTENNIAL COLLECTION brings together Glenn Miller's smash hits from 1939 through 1943, the years of the swing maven's undisputed reign as America's most popular bandleader. Even those possessing only a passing familiarity with the era's tunes will recognize the soft lilt of Miller's famous clarinet and saxophone melodies, the charming vocals of Ray Eberle and Tex Beneke & the Modernaires, and tunes such as "Chattanooga Choo Choo," "Tuxedo Junction," and "Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree (With Anyone Else But Me)." With their wide appeal and straightforward structures, Miller's recordings have stood the test of time, and remain popular and enjoyable decade upon decade after their initial release. Listening here to the original versions of Miller's own "Moonlight Serenade" and the utterly infectious, irrepressible "In the Mood," it's easy to see why this popularity shows no signs of abating. The digitally remastered versions of the performances on THE CENTENNIAL COLLECTION, and a bonus DVD featuring live footage, film trailers, newsreels, and home movies, truly make this a definitive package.

"Beyond The Missouri Sky" (10/13/2003) Jazz Instrument Haden, Charlie, Universal Records (Hong Kong)Personnel: Charlie Haden (bass); Pat Metheny (various instruments, acoustic guitar). Principally recorded at Right Track Studio, New York, New York in 1996. Includes liner notes by Charlie Haden and Pat Metheny. BEYOND THE MISSOURI SKY won the 1998 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Performance, Individual or Group. Asian issue features a bonus DVD (format NTSC, region code 0) with two live performances and interviews. Metheny and Haden have a lot in common. They're two of the most respected musicians at the vanguard of contemporary jazz, and they've worked together in Metheny's own band as well as with people like Ornette Coleman, Abbey Lincoln and Michael Brecker. They're both innovators who've blazed new trails on their respective axes. They're also both from small towns in Missouri, which is the underlying theme of this collaboration. Essentially an acoustic duet album, MISSOURI SKY finds these old friends joining together to paint an aural landscape that evokes the wide open spaces and heartland Americana of the place where they grew up. The album mixes original tunes by Haden and Metheny with some carefully chosen outside material, including Jimmy Webb's "The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress" and Roy Acuff's "Precious Jewel." All the tunes on the album benefit from the precision and grace of Metheny's acoustic guitar and the thoughtful fluidity of Haden's bass.
