Recorded at the historic Olympia Theatre in Paris in November 2001, this is Diana Krall's first live album. Backed by her quicksilver combo of bassist John Clayton, drummer Jeff Hamilton, and guitarist John Pisano (on some tracks), Krall's jazz heritage comes through loud and clear on this program of standards, ballads, and bossa novas. On Peggy Lee's "I Love Being Here with You," Bob Dorough's "Devil May Care," and Frank Sinatra's "Fly Me to the Moon," Krall's snappy, postbop piano playing shows off her debt to Nat "King" Cole and Jimmy Rowles. Her cool contralto vocals are illuminated by the Orchestre Symphonique Europeen, under the direction of Alan Broadbent, as well as the London Symphony Orchestra, led by conductor Claus Ogerman. Krall's deep take on Joni Mitchell's "A Case of You" is a great choice for an encore, and the CD concludes with Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are" (a studio track from a film called The Guru), with tenor saxophonist Michael Brecker and bassist Christian McBride. This collection only hints at what Diana Krall has to offer in the future.--Eugene Holley Jr.

Diana Krall at her best.......2007-06-20

Hoppin', jazzy live performance -- my favorite Diana Krall CD.

you know that.......2007-04-12

shush shuh shuh shuh sound that new cordoroy pants make? Well that's what Krall sounds like wiht her sibilant "s". Is she singing through false teeth?

Very Enjoyable and that's all that matters..........2007-02-24

For those reviewers trying to compare Diana Krall to people like Sarah Vaughn... forget it!!! She's not Vladamir Horowitz or the Pope either!!! To give her a low rating based on that is absurd.

This is a very very good Jazz band and Diana Krall swings. She plays well and she does an incredible amount with the voice that the maker gave here. The album is very enjoyable to me and it's a good place to start if you want to hear Diana Krall.

Is she great? That question is so subjective and who cares anyway. One reviewer suggested that calling her great was disrespectful to the great Jazz singers. Popular singers like Diana bring attention to Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughn and Sinatra etc... People start with Diana and move backward from there... 5 stars from this reviewer!!!

Not a fan of live albums, but this one's energy shines through.......2007-01-19

Diana Krall is amazing no matter whether she's live or in studio recording. This is her first live album and is based on a lot of jazz standards. What I like is this has the energy of a live album, but someone has engineered most of the audience sussurus out.

terrific band.......2007-01-19

I do enjoy Ms. Krall's singing but for me it's the incredible interplay between the musicians (including Krall's piano) the merits the 5 stars. I acually have the DVD which I highly recommend. Anthony Wilson not only plays brillantly but gets the best guitar tone of any other live recording I've heard. Jeff Hamilton and John Clayton are tight and telepathic - pure genuis in rhythm. Both Claus Ogerman and Allan Broadbent offer great arrangements and work the Orchestra deftly. And Diana sings. The production is perfect. This could not be any better.

Loreena McKennitt's two-CD set, plucked from performances in Paris and Toronto, documents the modern-day troubadour's live dimension, luxuriously unraveling her talents on harp, accordian, and piano like a finely woven tapestry. Lovers of The Book of Secrets, The Mask and Mirror, and her other enchanting albums will be pleased by this virtuoso performance and crisp recording of many favorite songs including "The Mummers' Dance" and "Bonny Portmore." McKennitt's voice is in finely polished form here--no hints of hoarse tour fatigue whatsoever. "Marco Polo," a delicious, trancelike jam on The Book of Secrets, rushes a bit too quickly, lacking the expansive, improvised groove that could've richly garnished this tasty track. But this is a small bit of tarnish on the silver beauty of this magnificent collection, brought to life by McKennitt's ensemble of violin, cello, hurdy-gurdy, bass, and percussion that all interlock lovingly with McKennitt's angelic voice. And what makes this gem even more beautifully poignant is its dedication to McKennitt's fiancé, who died in July, 1998, in a boating accident. Proceeds from album sales will go to his memorial fund dedicated to water search and rescue. If in 1999 we weren't fortunate enough to indulge in new material from this special artist, we at least have a taste of her extraordinary music to savor in a new, golden light. --Karen Karleski

As She Proves Again....LOREENA RULES!!!!!.......2007-06-18

OK, Folks; this time, very short and sweet. Of all the "live" albums that I have purchased in the past, say 10 years, this IS IT! Truly a knockout, spellbinding set from this wonderful singer/songwriter/musician.

None can touch her in the world of "Celtic", or "New Age", etc.!

Recorded in two venues, one in Paris, and one in Canada, then edited together into a seamlessly beautiful performance. Don't just take my word for it, check out a few more of the reviews here, Then, go out and get this album, and ENJOY! ~operabruin

It's a live album, okay we get it.......2007-02-22

Musically, the recording is beautiful in every way except the long audience applause before and after every selection breaks the spell. Why did the producer feel that he had to put the audience applause on the recording? Is this somehow proof that it is indeed a live recording?

Ethereal.......2005-09-05

With a voice that can only be described as unworldly and ethereal, Loreena Mckennitt, with vocal and harp alike lifts the soul and offers a rare moment of beauty. Her interpretations of classic ballads marks this as an important album and indeed listening to it, I've often felt my heart skip a beat. That such a great talent has gone so long without producing a new album remains a loss for all music lovers, but at least we can take solace in this marvelous work.

Truly a must have.

"Let your indulgence set me free.".......2005-06-05

This is a wonderful album on many reasons. Like most McKennitt fans I held off from buying it because I already had the songs on other CDs. This first CD is really a complete performance of The Book of Secrets, and the second is a carefully chosen selection from The Visit and The Mask and The Mirror (plus a hidden bit, which as you will see shortly could probably be considered a lament and a memory). By and large McKennitt stays very true to the original recordings. Tempo's are generally slightly slower, although there are exceptions like The Highwayman, which is a full minute faster here.

There are subtle differences everywhere in phrasing and the inner working of her group. In a piece like The Mummer's Dance, for instance, you become much more aware of the workings on the strings. And songs like The Lady of Shallot and Dante's Prayer reach a level that can only be described as perfection. Live performance is the acid test of a musician's powers, and everyone in the group, from the likes of Brian Hughes and Hugh Marsh to La McKennitt herself, achieves everything that could be desired.

This was McKennitt's last album, put together in 1999. Suddenly a brilliant and fertile career came to a halt, with nothing about why every being said. The sole clue to the hiatus is two lines in the album folder dedicating the album to the memory of Ronald Douglas Rees and mentioning the Cook-Rees Memorial Fund For Water Search And Safety. Ronald Rees was Lorena McKennitt's fiancé and he died unexpectedly while she was wrapping up this album. For some time she was completely silent, but has gradually increased her performances again. Now a visit to her website reveals that another album is in progress. Good for us, and very good for Loreena as well.

If for no other reason than that on two CDs you have many of McKennitt's songs done beautifully you should by this. For the newcomer, I can't imagine a better introduction to the work of a woman who is scholar, minstrel, and beauty. For the fan it is a reward for the affection of a singer/songwriter who has stayed steadily true to her vision of what should be, rather than fall to the lure of pop culture.

Dreaming wide awake ..........2005-04-08

Loreena McKennitt's music -- and her otherworldly voice -- are a rare gift. Surely her music is "Celtic", but so many other influences are incorporated here -- and the amazing thing is how well they mesh. I've never been lucky enough to catch any of her live performances, but this 2-CD set captures what the atmosphere must be like at one of her concerts: a dreaming, oceanic, passionate, and haunting (yes, I have to use that word!) few hours spent in the company of a phenomenally talented artist and her traveling band, completely simpatico with her musical sensibilities. Highly recommended. If the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood had a soundtrack, Loreena McKenitt's music would surely be on it.

Customer Reviews:

Great Live CD.......2005-11-10

I was skeptical at first. If the recording is so great, why hasn't it come out before now? But I bought the cd anyway and was pleasantly surprised. I don't know if it is better than "Live at the Half Note" or "Full House," but it is definitely on the same level as those two cd's. And if you consider that Wes' best playing seems to be what he does live, it is a must have for any jazz guitar fan.

Didn't hear it, don't need to........2005-09-29

I'm a professional jazz guitar player and I have almost everything by Wes, as I should since he is the one and only toff player in jazz guitar. I don't have this one CD, but I don't even need to. I know that what Wes is doing here is astonishing, simple, real, honest and overwhelming, as is every single note he has ever played. The stars given by every one here shows I can't be wrong. As a study I have taken solos by Wes and the most impressive thing is not the technical complexities at all - Wes is rather simple - but how his mind must have worked, and this you can feel when playing along with him. His mind is always one or two bars ahead, so the "simple" becomes misteriously impossible and this is the trace of the genius; once you hear it you go "my god, this is so simple, how didn't I think of this before?" It's like Beethoven's 9th, so simple, so obvious and so beautiful. This man represents the spirit of jazz in the most loving way and this is why I arrogantly wrote this review of a CD I never heard.

Simply Marvelous !!!.......2005-06-12

this is as good as it gets for Wes Montgomery's live playing- a very uptempo night of playing with lotsa chops... i don't like the actual recorded sound of the recording as much as "Smokin' at the Half Note"- seems like there is more treble in Wes' amp settings than i am used to or maybe it was just the settings of the tape recorder 0r P.A. board... still, this is a ferocious night of Wes' playing with more of a Bebop feel than Swing in the style- GRRREAT JAZZ !!! a wonder-full compliment to "Smokin' at the Half Note" which has a warmer, softer vibe in that club concert... if you love Wes- you gotta hear this recording !!!

Essential for guitarists and Wes completists only........2005-03-02

Wes is admittedly more "aggressive" in his playing on this occasion, partly due to his band mates and the nature and length of the program. Unlike the grooving, always "in the pocket," rhythm section of "Smokin' at the Half Note" (Kelly, Chambers, Cobb), the Harold Mabern-led rhythm section gives the music a forward edge, or emotive quality, suggestive of Coltrane and McCoy. The result is often music based on tension and release rather than melodic inventiveness--leading to some purely "physical" playing and grandstanding on the parts of Mabern and tenor saxophonist Johnny Griffin (the two ballads opening the second disk are my favorite moments of the concert).

The audio is acceptable--and thankfully the balance favors Wes' guitar, which sounds as "fat" and consistent as ever. But I suspect this recording won't wear as well with me and other non-guitarists as his meetings with Wynton Kelley, Milt Jackson, and Jimmy Smith, not to mention the classic Riverside studio albums. If there were more of Wes on record, I'd give this one 4 stars. Pick it up only if you have "Smokin'," "Full House," and "The Incredible Artistry."

Wes turned it out.......2004-11-14

got to hear this whole set&was feeling it from start to end. Wes&His Band knocked it out.I was already diging His Live One Smoking at the Half Note but this One is even more tighter if you can beleive that.Wes with His Signature playing&Styling just moves you.strogn arrangements.some of His Albums back in the day didn't always Highlight him properly as this Set does so well.enjoy!!!

The first-ever live concert album from multiplatinum-selling, Grammy-winning, critically acclaimed Seal, Live in Paris features a DVD of his spectacular performance at the Olympia Bruno Coquatrix on July 6, 2004, and a CD duplicating the DVD's audio (sans four tracks). With the DVD including a 5.1 Surround Sound mix, Live in Paris is the ultimate in-concert experience of the pop, dance, urban and adult contemporary superstar.

Customer Reviews:

I love Seal!.......2007-06-26

I first fell in love with Seal years ago when I was in a mall and a store was playing Whirlpool on its muzak. I asked the guy who was that singing and he had to do some investigating for me. When he told me it was Seal, I immediately went to buy his CD. I was hooked! This live set by Seal is truly a joy to listen to. His vocal quality is unique, and very easy to listen to. I would also recommend any of his albums, especially his acoustic recordings. He is one of the most underrated vocalists out there today.

Desert Island Stuff.......2007-02-18

Seal is one of those pleasantly rare musical artists who defies description by not having a genre. This combo release of CD and DVD is such a value and showcases just what a musical treasure Seal is. The Parisian audience stunned me on the DVD by remaining absolutely quiet during the performance of "Don't Cry". The one thing that has always escaped my understanding is lack of universal appeal of his work. So many less-talented singers who perform other's work are more popular, but their voices are not the instrument that Seal's is. He performs his own songs with mature, thoughtful lyrics and also musically interesting pieces he has written or co-written. Seal fans, this is a Desert Island piece for you, but the DVD with the DTS® soundtrack almost beats being at a concert.

Sweet as a kiss from a rose.......2007-02-04

In Paris in 2004, Seal performed his first ever live concerts. The aptly-titled LIVE IN PARIS is a recording of one of those concerts. On LIVE IN PARIS, Seal performs most of his hits, including "Crazy", "Kiss from a Rose", "Love's Divine", and "Future Love Paradise". Seal's studio recordings are largely synthesized, so it's very interesting to hear him perform these songs live with actual musicians (and a talented bunch of musicians at that). The songs have a different sound to them, but the same wonderful feeling. There's a surprising amount of energy in this recording, both from the performers and the exuberant audience (which is remarkably courteous and remains silent through the actual songs, applauding wildly during the intervals between the songs). The songs are as charming as ever, and the recording as a whole is so sweet that it feels much like I'd imagine a kiss from a rose would feel.

There is more than just the CD recording in this package, though - it also includes a marvelous DVD recording of the concert that includes songs not on the CD. The DVD is very well-filmed, and with the surround mix it really feels like you're there at the concert with Seal. All in all, it's a delectable package and a great way to keep the hungry fan at bay while Seal records his next album.

WITHOUT PEER.......2006-05-14

It seems like only yesterday that Seal swept into the scene with his self titled debut. This is probably his best release yet - a seamless DVD and Cd of great music. If you're new to Seal - it's a great place to start. If you're a fan - the other reviews say it all. A worthy release.

Finally, a live concert! And a great package deal, too........2006-01-11

I just received this for Christmas and had to come "in here" to see what others think of it. I have never written a review here before, but want to share my thoughts on this one.

I absolutely love it, like others are saying - very soulful performance, and great arrangements of the songs that I love so much, too. I'm surprised that the little intricacies and subtleties that make his studio work so rich are here - sounds much better than I expected from a live performance. I also applaud his choice to release a show done in a country where the audience has respect enough for the performers to BE QUIET DURING THE SONGS, except when appropriate; I swear you could hear a pin drop in moments of this show, very refreshing! I have been to many concerts in my 40 years (including 2 with Seal!) and love the experience, but have just about had enough of the rudeness of others while there . . . sorry for the tangent . . . Anyway, I have been a big fan of Seal's since the first time hearing "Crazy" in 1991, and so, was anxious to hear what blend of songs he would contribute here. Great selection, with my only disappointment being the absence of "Violet," from his first album - one of my personal favorites (I understand the show did have to end sometime, though).

Since you're reading this, you obviously have a bit of interest in this release, and Seal, and I don't see how you could possibly be dissapointed! Great CD/DVD value! Enjoy.

Best Concert in ANY language.......2007-05-13

This is an amazingly well done concert in every respect. I have never seen a concert DVD that has as much quality in EVERY area. Laura Pausini is amazing, and she is supported by a dynamite band, backup singers, great video/audio work, and a audience that is INTO the performance (too bad the one guy with the air horn had to ruin it). Literally, I do not understand 90% of the lyrics, but this performance is musically and technically riveting from beginning to end. I can't keep myself from playing it once or twice a week.

Excellent!!!!!!!.......2007-02-22

Laura Pausini is one of the best POP singers going, She sings well in Italian, English and Spanish. She has one of those voices that you just fall in love with. This live CD, Live in Paris 05 is cooking, it is a greatest hits live basically and you will definitely enjoy it. Vivimi, Se Fue, Tra Te E Il Mare, Surrender, E Retiorno Di Te, and La Cose Che Vivi are all excellent, well every song is excellent. This is a must have for Laura fans and I would recommend it anyone.

Probably the best concert in any language in the last 5 years .......2007-01-07

Spectacular voice, great set. This is one of those finds you go into with low expectations and get totally blown away by.

CD only in the US but the dvd is available at the euro amazon sites. NTSC format but region 2 so you will need a region free dvd player to watch it. If I didn't already have one I would buy one just to be able to watch it.

Sexiest woman on the planet. It's not the body, it's not the face, it's the hands. If you have a chance to watch the concert you will know what I mean. Never considered hands to be erotic but I have been converted.

Simply Excellent!.......2006-10-24

This defenitly is a must to have for sure. I got the special edition with a DVD. Totally recommended. You can fall in love of her voice since the first song. She's so professional! I can't wait she came to my town.

At last..........2007-04-09

I owned this on a cassette and played the hell out of it but couldn't get a Cd version until recently. This may be the finest live reggae period and that includes marley and tosh. This is a full company of musicians playing more complex arraignments. Three piece brass combo and all the percussionists playing hypnotic reggae at it's best.

The drummer here is a guy i had never heard of and he is just sick! Better than sly dunbar. He drives a riddim section that is superb and burning spear is the master of ceremony with his perfect timing and passion. the sound is as clear and pure as any live album you ever heard.

The pulsating sounds will energize you and make you want to start chucking! If not then you don't have a pulse..

I first owned this on casette in 1990. It was the first raggae I ever owned, and it jams! I was first stuck by the crisp and clear production. On the CD it's even better. You can pick out each individual instrument and vocal. Being a guitarist, I was amazed by the inventiveness of the playing.
The songs themselves are longer and more complex than any raggae I've heard before or since. You will groove and sing along all day and night. Don't be surprised if you find yourself humming the songs the next day without realizing that you're doing it.

Album Description

With "When The Pain Dies Down - Live In Paris", Chris Stills' ambition was to make the connection between two countries close to his heart. Two countries mutually opposed yet suprisingly close at times. France and the US have found their perfect moderator. When your parent's names are Stephen Stills (of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young fame) and best-selling French chanteuse Veronique Sanson, you are left with no choice; either you follow in your footsteps, or you go in the complete opposite direction. Luckily, Chris Stills discovered his true means of expression and has unleashed them in song. "When The Pain Dies Down - Live In Paris" features Stills' immaculate sense of melody and earth shattering beautiful voice. Six songs were recorded live at Studio Du Palais in Paris by Mitch Oliver and features a studio version of the cleverly titled "Fanny" which is a French translation of The Band classic hit "The Weight". The EP features three tracks sung completely in French. Already featured on the cover of Rolling Stone, Chris Still is ready for the world.

This guy has all the chops.......2006-09-07

Chris Stills has the perfect storm in his gene pool. Of course, you know that his father is Stephen Stills, and at the oddest times you can here Dad's inflections and musicianship coming through in the son. What you may not appreciate is that Chris's mother is one of the most formidable French singer-songwriters ever, and her star rose so significantly in the 70's in France and Quebec province that she was, in fact, far more popular than Stephen. That's not to diminish either of them via the cult of personality. The point is Veronique Sanson was an incredibly important force in world music before rock and pop ever got to looking beyond its anglo-american borders. Veronique wrote songs of passion and power and had an even more commanding stage presence than Bonnie Raitt, Joni Mitchell, or Emmylou Harris. That's saying something. She was an incredible pianist. Her CD LIVE AT THE OLYMPIA, is still available on Amazon.ca, and if you like Chris Stills, go listen to Mom. That's where it is really coming from.
As for this terrific EP, this is such a great record that I really wish Chris had turned out a complete live set. It's just brilliant start to finish. Chris has all of his parents' musical chops and their vocal power, especially his father's when dad was in his prime. Bi-lingual, he turns in one of the very best renditions of a Band tune you'll ever hear. You'll figure it out. In so doing, he is perhaps closer to the roots of what the Band stood for than even the Band's renditions of this timeless song.
So, for $9, pick this up. The return on the investment will delight you. A superb, superb CD. Would that Lennon's kids had this kind of talent.

RASTAFARI CENTENNIAL - Steel Pulse.......2007-01-11

Steel Pulse's album of their live performance in Paris is a masterpiece and a very good compilation of their hit songs.

Best Steel Pulse album.......2005-12-04

I have owned all of the Steel Pulse albums w/ the exception of Living Legacy (will try it out)and I love this one the best. I used to listen to it in High School and needed a new copy. Still love it. I like roots and real instruments, but I don't think that this killed the vibe.

Steel Pulse at their best.......2005-08-09

Wow. I was amazed to see that someone actually did not care for this album. This live in Paris album is quite possibly the greatest reggae album ever. Contrary to another comment, the sound quality is crystal clear and Steel Pulse has never performed with such a large number of instruments. The synthesizers and rap you hear are from the killer guest appearance of KRS-1, which helped make this album amazing and way ahead of its time. The rap is a short and very pleasing surprise close to the end of the CD that moves the entire crowd into glorious participation with the band.

Awesome CD.......2005-03-10

This is one of Steel Pulse's best albums ever. If you don't have it yet you are lacking a very great CD in your collection. I also recommend Living Legacy in addition to this one, however don't forget to get this one first.

Living Legacy is much better.......2002-07-09

THis album just isn't that good. The recording quality is nowhere near that of Pulse's other live album, "Living Legacy." Plus there are not enough real instruments, too many synthesizers and whatnot. Furthermore, there are so absolutely atrocious raps on a few tracks, ughh!! the rapper they use is just not good at all.
But there are a few good tracks such as Taxi Driver. However if you want a live Pulse album, Living Legacy is twice as good as this.

Loreena McKennitt's two-CD set, plucked from performances in Paris and Toronto, documents the modern-day troubadour's live dimension, luxuriously unraveling her talents on harp, accordian, and piano like a finely woven tapestry. Lovers of The Book of Secrets, The Mask and Mirror, and her other enchanting albums will be pleased by this virtuoso performance and crisp recording of many favorite songs including "The Mummers' Dance" and "Bonny Portmore." McKennitt's voice is in finely polished form here--no hints of hoarse tour fatigue whatsoever. "Marco Polo," a delicious, trancelike jam on The Book of Secrets, rushes a bit too quickly, lacking the expansive, improvised groove that could've richly garnished this tasty track. But this is a small bit of tarnish on the silver beauty of this magnificent collection, brought to life by McKennitt's ensemble of violin, cello, hurdy-gurdy, bass, and percussion that all interlock lovingly with McKennitt's angelic voice. And what makes this gem even more beautifully poignant is its dedication to McKennitt's fiancé, who died in July, 1998, in a boating accident. Proceeds from album sales will go to his memorial fund dedicated to water search and rescue. If in 1999 we weren't fortunate enough to indulge in new material from this special artist, we at least have a taste of her extraordinary music to savor in a new, golden light. --Karen Karleski

As She Proves Again....LOREENA RULES!!!!!.......2007-06-18

OK, Folks; this time, very short and sweet. Of all the "live" albums that I have purchased in the past, say 10 years, this IS IT! Truly a knockout, spellbinding set from this wonderful singer/songwriter/musician.

None can touch her in the world of "Celtic", or "New Age", etc.!

Recorded in two venues, one in Paris, and one in Canada, then edited together into a seamlessly beautiful performance. Don't just take my word for it, check out a few more of the reviews here, Then, go out and get this album, and ENJOY! ~operabruin

It's a live album, okay we get it.......2007-02-22

Musically, the recording is beautiful in every way except the long audience applause before and after every selection breaks the spell. Why did the producer feel that he had to put the audience applause on the recording? Is this somehow proof that it is indeed a live recording?

Ethereal.......2005-09-05

With a voice that can only be described as unworldly and ethereal, Loreena Mckennitt, with vocal and harp alike lifts the soul and offers a rare moment of beauty. Her interpretations of classic ballads marks this as an important album and indeed listening to it, I've often felt my heart skip a beat. That such a great talent has gone so long without producing a new album remains a loss for all music lovers, but at least we can take solace in this marvelous work.

Truly a must have.

"Let your indulgence set me free.".......2005-06-05

This is a wonderful album on many reasons. Like most McKennitt fans I held off from buying it because I already had the songs on other CDs. This first CD is really a complete performance of The Book of Secrets, and the second is a carefully chosen selection from The Visit and The Mask and The Mirror (plus a hidden bit, which as you will see shortly could probably be considered a lament and a memory). By and large McKennitt stays very true to the original recordings. Tempo's are generally slightly slower, although there are exceptions like The Highwayman, which is a full minute faster here.

There are subtle differences everywhere in phrasing and the inner working of her group. In a piece like The Mummer's Dance, for instance, you become much more aware of the workings on the strings. And songs like The Lady of Shallot and Dante's Prayer reach a level that can only be described as perfection. Live performance is the acid test of a musician's powers, and everyone in the group, from the likes of Brian Hughes and Hugh Marsh to La McKennitt herself, achieves everything that could be desired.

This was McKennitt's last album, put together in 1999. Suddenly a brilliant and fertile career came to a halt, with nothing about why every being said. The sole clue to the hiatus is two lines in the album folder dedicating the album to the memory of Ronald Douglas Rees and mentioning the Cook-Rees Memorial Fund For Water Search And Safety. Ronald Rees was Lorena McKennitt's fiancé and he died unexpectedly while she was wrapping up this album. For some time she was completely silent, but has gradually increased her performances again. Now a visit to her website reveals that another album is in progress. Good for us, and very good for Loreena as well.

If for no other reason than that on two CDs you have many of McKennitt's songs done beautifully you should by this. For the newcomer, I can't imagine a better introduction to the work of a woman who is scholar, minstrel, and beauty. For the fan it is a reward for the affection of a singer/songwriter who has stayed steadily true to her vision of what should be, rather than fall to the lure of pop culture.

Dreaming wide awake ..........2005-04-08

Loreena McKennitt's music -- and her otherworldly voice -- are a rare gift. Surely her music is "Celtic", but so many other influences are incorporated here -- and the amazing thing is how well they mesh. I've never been lucky enough to catch any of her live performances, but this 2-CD set captures what the atmosphere must be like at one of her concerts: a dreaming, oceanic, passionate, and haunting (yes, I have to use that word!) few hours spent in the company of a phenomenally talented artist and her traveling band, completely simpatico with her musical sensibilities. Highly recommended. If the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood had a soundtrack, Loreena McKenitt's music would surely be on it.

Listening to the high-energy, florid runs, quirky twists, and trademark whines that tattoo "Bouncin' with Bud," the opening track of Whisper Not, it's hard to believe that Keith Jarrett was still in the throes of chronic fatigue syndrome when his trio recorded this date in Paris in July 1999. This isn't the Keith Jarrett of moody ruminations we heard on his solo CD The Melody at Night, with You, released in the fall of 1999. Whisper Not is closer to the Jarrett who launched the Standards Trio with drummer Jack DeJohnette and bassist Gary Peacock in 1983. The trio is still mining the songs of their youth, resurrecting "Poinciana," a signature song of Ahmad Jamal, an early Jarrett influence, and paying tribute to the bop masters with a rollicking take on Dizzy Gillespie's "Groovin' High" and a sophisticated excursion into Thelonious Monk's "'Round Midnight." The interplay between these three musicians has never been higher, operating at a level beyond intuition, playing inside each other's heads. --John Diliberto

Customer Reviews:

Prime Cuts!.......2007-05-20

Paying tribute to a host of great pianist influences, Jarrett performs over a dozen pieces that are either written by or associated with such jazz titans as Bud Powell, Thelonious Monk, Duke Ellington, George Shearing, Ahmed Jamal, and even an Earl "Fatha" Hines tinged intro to Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams.

Keith stays on the mark throughout, with the possible exception of Round Midnight sounding a bit overly intellectual and emotionally detached. That being said, the majority of the selections sparkle with his lively and often inspired approach to time-honored classics. Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette consistently provide their usual reliable support.

For those who prefer Jarrett's straight ahead approach over his more modal meanderings, it doesn't get any better than these two live cookin' sets recorded in Paris, 1999.

Joyful.......2007-05-06

Why do ECM keep releasing Standards Trio albums? I can't afford to buy them all, its just not fair.

This is another absolutely blinding (double) CD. The track that caught my attention immediately was "What is thing called love". I don't how many versions of this tune I have by Jazz musicians but it must be dozens. Well heres another way of playing the song. A great solo Piano intro and then Keith just flys into the tune with stream of brilliant inventions.

The rest of the album maintains an equally high standard. A swinging version of "Bouncing with Bud" and a beautiful version of "Chelsea Bridge" are highlights from disc 1. Having said that I love the version of "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams" on disc 1 where Keith harks back to pre-bop era with a version that in its solo Piano intro is almost stride and continues that feel even if there isn't the ooom-pah left-hand all the time.

The total playing time is 1 hour 53 mins over the 2 discs. I've never heard a bad 'Standards Trio' album, but this is one of the very best.

This album is fantastic.......2007-03-07

A Keith Jarrett "must have" in my humble opinion. Similar to Jarrett's recordings at the Blue Note, but a little more refined... which is not to say it's better or worse. The Blue Note recordings have more flare but this cd has more style. All the tracks are fantastic, but my absolute favorites are:

Bouncin' With Bud, Whisper Not, Groovin' High, Chelsea Bridge (haunting melody!), What Is This Thing Called Love, and Poinciana (my #1 favorite).

The recording of "When I Fall In Love" on this album is not as good as the one on the Blue Note recordings (incredible recording, how could you top it?). Of course we're not free from Jarrett's grunts, but that's not a big deal anyway :P Altogether fantastic album.

Live and alive and swinging.......2004-09-05

Mr Jarrett is such a master, as are the bassist and drummer, that the regular listener has to put in context this offering, recorded live in Paris. How do we rate it against the magisterial LIVE AT THE BLUE NOTE? That said, this is a wonderful example of the joy the trio has at making music and seems to me to be a tribute to the greats of the piano, such as Ahmad Jamal, Billy Strayhorn, Bud Powell, Thelonious Monk, Art Tatum, George Shearing. I was like others especially struck by the beautiful rendition of POINCIANA which Mr Jamal I'm sure would have enjoyed.
A special record for piano music lovers. Not to be missed.

The music is wonderful but the recording quality is extremely poor(which is usually the case with EMC CD's).
