Fantastic!.......2007-01-09

As a movie soundtrack fan, I was immediately drawn to 'The Greatest Game Ever Played,' and when I got it just a few weeks ago, I wasn't dissapointed.
At first it sounds much like James Horner's 'Legends of the Fall,' but it is by no means a repeat of it. It is a beautifull soundtrack on it's own, with many different themes that keep it exciting. The music has the same early 1900's feel as the movie while stil maintaining a variety of music styles; from soaring strings to intense violin pieces to period vocals like "And the Band Played On." Like the movie, it has a very inspirational feel, and I would definately recommend it to anyone, whether fans of the movie or soundtrack lovers.

Loved the movie, love the score.......2006-03-17

I saw The Greatest Game Ever Played in the theater and became enchanted with this film, based on the true story of Francis Ouimet, a low-class amateur golfer who emerges from complete obscurity to win the U.S. Open. By the end of the movie, I realized how much I was enjoying the music and decided that I just had to buy the soundtrack.

As I have listened to this soundtrack again and again, I've been captivated by this music. The beauty and power of Brian Tyler's composition is most impressive. As an intent listener, I've been deeply moved by the expansive musical landscape that is covered in this soundtrack. The central motif, a majestic and magnanimous melody which forms the essence of the main title, is woven into tracks throughout the disc, tying everything together as part of a musical (and theatrical) storyline. Indeed, it seems like an incomplete experience if I don't listen to the entire soundtrack, start to finish, in sequential order. If you take the time to do that, you'll find it's a very rewarding listen.

4.5 Stars for The Greatest Game Ever Played.......2006-03-11

This was an excellent 10 dollar purchase from iTunes, to put it mildly. As much as I loved Tyler's The Final Cut, Darkness Falls, Timeline and Constantine scores, this tops them all. It's a loving tribute to the main character of the film and good ol' fashioned film scoring in general. I haven't seen the movie and therefore cannot comment on wether or not it works in the context of the film. I can, however, say with great pleasure what a joy it is to listen to as a solo album.
The album picks up with the main title track, and what a great track it is. Some people will say it is Horner reminiscent, and while many themes on this CD do remind me of James Horner's best work, I actually think the closer resemblance is John Debney. I'm serious - this score is in many ways similar to The Passion of the Christ. It has pounding drums and wonderful percussion and isn't afraid to go all out with the string and brass section. It's a thrilling, heroic, melodramatic and operatic score that I've enjoyed listening to repeatedly. A highly recommended score for anyone who enjoys breathtaking and moving and powerful and heroic sometimes lighthearted and always thrilling music.

One of Brian Tyler's best.......2005-10-01

Brain Tyler says of this score that "the orchestral music was influenced by the popular music of the end of the 19th Century and the start of the 20th Century - Debussy, Sibelius, Strauss, and Mahler. To me, the sound we know as 'American' was a combination of the styles of so many of these great European composers." As far as I'm concerned, this score was a lot more influenced by James Horner -- certain bits sound strikingly similar to Legends of the Fall. But don't let that put you off, because the rest of the bits don't. This score is beautiful, lively, energetic, exciting and ebullient Americana throughout -- an odd contrast to Tyler's last score, the dark beast that was Constantine. Despite the occasional "nods" to Horner, though, Greatest Game Ever Played is one of Tyler's best and most thoroughly enjoyable scores, well orchestrated and well recorded also. If it's not quite Children of Dune, it's certainly better than his best since, such as Timeline and The Final Cut, on par with his other score for Bill Paxton, Frailty, though obviously in a very different genre and with a very different sound. So if you're a fan of Brian Tyler or good, uplifting, exciting film music in general, definitely check out this score.

Today's Jazz Diva In A Tour De Force Performance.......2004-07-29

This is quite a magnificent CD and every performance is masterful. The triple Grammy-winning Ms. Reeves is simply one of the best jazz singers of all time and she's accompanied by a squad of legends: Kenny Barron, James Moody, Phil Woods, Al Grey, Toots Thielemans, Joe Williams, Harry "Sweets" Edison, Clark Terry, etc. Whew!!! It's true, great musicians love to play behind and with great singers!!

One 'Piece De Resistance, "Cherokee", is simply a wonderfully dynamic performance of an old warhorse made new. Slipping from 3/4 to 4/4 and back again, Dianne's work is stunning. I just put the CD player on 'repeat' and let it go over and over. On the bridge "Dreams of summertime...." both passes are executed with so much ease and on the sonic arc of her voice, that one could miss the fact that they are very different, launched on different beats. And Bobby Watson throws down a sizzling killer alto solo. Speaking of killer solos, "Besame Mucho", brilliantly sung in English and Spanish, has some great harmonica solos from Toots, in a Monkish vein.

"Tenderly" is a fascinating rangy duet between the poised Ms Reeves and consummate blues belter Joe Williams, who hits, trust me, the LOWEST note ever sung on the last syllable of "Breathless....ly". Wow, Mr Williams!! My speakers barely passed that test. "Tenderly" lives up to it's title and both singers are magnificent.

"Old Country" is another winner, dished up with a big band sound and some heartfelt singing from Diane, who issues a judgement on a life and a message. The bluesy Sarah Vaughn classic "After Hours" now belongs to Dianne, and Moody's sax solo is just perfect. The very fun "Ha!" has Moody and Terry in the vocal chorus. Get this one, it's all good. You can't EVER go wrong with a Dianne Reeves CD or live performance. Five Wonderful Stars!!

a shame to not have.......1999-03-02

This album brings back what most new jazz artist lack. The warm feeling that each song was composed for this singer. It contains three generations of jazz icons that have influenced jazz as we know it. Not many artist can give you the feeling of big band yet stay fresh and true to ones self. Miss Reeves has mastered this art on this project.

For most saxophonists, recording with a mainstream rhythm section would be business as usual. For Joe Lovano, who has spent much of his career experimenting with duos and unconventional trios, little-big bands and string-enhanced ensembles, it's something of a departure. And a rewarding one at that, judging by his return to the studio with the illustrious backing trio of his 2004 effort, I'm All For You. The first time around, a certain spark was lacking in the accompaniment. This time, having toured together, the band clicks. The eminent bop-era veteran Hank Jones steals the show with his elegantly charged piano playing on tunes including Thelonious Monk's "Pannonica" and "A Child is Born" (one of three songs by his late, great brother Thad). Onetime Bill Evans drummer Paul Motian drops second line beats on a tripping-down reading of Oliver Nelson's "Six and Four" and graces Lovano's title track with varied textural effects. And bassist George Mraz is in fine form. In the end, though, Lovano commands the most attention with his grainy, boldly measured, heavyweight tenor. Ranging from the shimmering balladry of "Autumn in New York" to the modal intensity of John Coltrane's "Crescent" (the original of which featured another of Jones' celebrated siblings, Elvin), he finds consistently fresh ways to revitalize the familiar. --Lloyd Sachs

thru the mist.......2006-11-14

joe lovano plays sax slower than anyone else around. i had to check to see if i had my old turntable on. no, this is a cd, so there was no warped vinyl, no playing speeding to adjust, or, out of curiousity, playing the album at a faster speed just to hear what the recording sounded like faster.
what i decided to do was travel to the mist to a land long ago when sax players wore loose suits and porkpie hats. i listened to don byas and coleman hawkins and lester young, back in the 40's and the 50's and none of them played that slow. i put on a cd by billie holliday and followed it with a cd by joe lovano. lovano's tone and pacing were beautiful. lovano isn't imitating or really playing tribute to the master tenors of long ago, what he's doing is playing with billie holliday.

Great group, but don't care for all the tunes.......2006-03-13

"Autumn in New York" is by far the best cut on this album. Why they chose to put it first is beyond me. First off, it's a ballad, which is risky business when using that as your opener -- live or on a CD. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The other tunes seem to cover the same base -- bebop and post-bop. There isn't enough variety to make each tune fit, unless he intended it to be an album of that nature.

I give it 4 stars because the group itself is great. Anything with Hank Jones is always enjoyable to listen to. This is really the only album I have heard of Lovano's beyond a 30 second clip, so others who are more familiar with his material probably know whether or not this is a hit or miss album for him.

An uneven set of tracks.......2005-10-28

Track one is so fine, in there with the best of quintet jazz in a traditional sound. Past track one I began to ask. "why this after track one?" The sound bits on
Amazon convinced me to buy this CD. I was not intentionally misled, I just did not
listen to those with a keen ear. There are good passages on any track, it is always a treat to listen to Hank Jones.

A Master Class.......2005-05-19

Contrary to Mr. Sachs' editorial review above, recording with a mainstream rhythm section does not constitute a departure of any sort for Lovano. His first CD was in 1985 with Kenny Werner, Dennis Irwin, and Mel Lewis. Since then he's recorded no fewer than 11 CDs featuring a piano/bass/drums rhythm section, not counting his work as a sideman or this quartet's previous CD, "I'm All For You." This isn't groundbreaking music, and it shouldn't be portrayed that way. It's old school jazz in the best tradition, and it stands handsomely on that merit.

For knowledgeable jazz fans, there's no better way to sell this CD than simply to explain that it's Joe Lovano, Hank Jones, George Mraz, and Paul Motian playing standards. For everyone else, whether you're genuinely looking for an introduction to jazz or you just want a few CDs to look cool on your rack: Start here. "Joyous Encounter" is a bona fide, five-star CD.

There's absolutely nothing I enjoy more than listening to a group of seasoned jazz musicians record a session of standards. These four guys have nearly three centuries of experience between them, and the result is a master class for any jazz musician -- how to approach standards with a fresh perspective, how to build solos without blotting out the rhythm section, how to increase intensity without increasing volume... They use all the tools, and they prove themselves craftsmen. They never skate; they dig in, from the first track to the last. There's a wealth of lessons and wisdom, every moment of which is a pleasure to hear.

This year has already brought five-star releases from Pat Metheny, Dave Holland, and Kenny Wheeler; and this summer promises competition from Bill Frisell, Jim McNeely, and Wayne Shorter. By December, we may have half a dozen CDs as good as "Joyous Encounter" -- but I guarantee, none will be better. Buy this now.

pepper adams.......2007-01-04

great album.pepper adams was a much sought after baritone horn player by jazz, salsa groups ,latin jazz groups you name it.In my opinion he was the better of baritone horn players,sorry gerry.hard hitting,slashing fluid enjoyable to listen to

Very Close Encounter.......2004-08-03

"Encounter" showcases as good a line-up as you'll find on record: Pepper Adams on baritone sax, Zoot Sims on tenor, Tommy Flanagan on piano, Ron Carter on bass, and the force-of-nature known as Elvin Jones driving this train with both bombast and sensitivity. Adam's "Inanout" is an old-school bop number with some hardcore soloing from Adams and Sims on what almost threatens to become a Jazz-At-The-Philharmonic-style cutting contest. The Strayhorn/Ellington composition "Star-Crossed Lovers" is a beautiful ballad with a etheral solo by Flanagan. Particularly effective is the way Sims and Adams take turns supporting each other with the same single-note accents while the other plays the melody.

"Elusive" is a smoking Thad Jones song with swinging solos from both horns and more jaw-dropping drumwork from the composer's brother, Elvin Jones. During Tommy Flanagan's solo, you can hear someone say "Yeah!" off mic - not sure who said it but I'm in complete agreement. Flanagan contributes the closing number, "Verdandi", a quick and rousing number made to blow the listeners out of their seats. Again, Elvin Jones tears this tune up - when the final chord fades out, you'll just want to say "Whew!"

Red Hot Pepper.......2004-02-08

After hearing Pepper Adams stand out on various Mingus and Coltrane albums I decided to seek out his solo albums. While I didn't dislike most of them I found the musical style to be too laid-back and "cool". This CD "Encounter" is the exception to the rule. It easily features some of his most intense, hardest swinging ever, possibly because he's getting support from the legendary John Coltrane rhythm section of Elvin Jones, Ron Carter and Tommy Flanagan. Zoot Sims is also on hand and sounds terrific. If you want to hear Pepper Adams play hard-bop rather than in the Mulligan cool mode give this one a spin!

SPICY JAZZ.......2000-09-19

This 1968 recording by Pepper Adams proves (once again) what a master he was on the less popular baritone sax. There's no heavy-handedness in his playing whatsoever, rather, he plays in a swinging, soulful mood, sometimes gruff, but always melodic. The presence of tenor saxophonist Zoot Sims is a nice touch : nobody could ever create a more smooth sound on the horn; absolute masters like Ben Webster or Ike Quebec may have equalled him with their own particular sound, but never surpassed him, as he never sounded like nobody but himself. Add Tommy Flanagan on piano, Ron Carter on bass and Elvin Jones on drums, and you know this has to be a great union of top jazzmen, and it is ! A set which is made up largely of originals and fairly recent compositions by the likes of Joe Henderson and Thad Jones, this is no run-of-the-mill jam session, rather a beautifully crafted showcase for the talent of these five greats.

No one can hear you snore in outerspace........2007-03-10

In his liner notes Sterns promices "We tavel through a sonic voyage. The phenomenon of UFO encounters". A soundlog of an alien encounter should possess a certain degree of mystery and drama. Sounds intriging - not. Ten listless new age meandering vignettes hoover aimlessly overhead all sounding basically the same. I agree with a previous reviewer this music shall indeed "send you off to a serene spacy slumber." Actually NASA uses this CD to induce suspended animation on intergalactic flights.

A spacey classic.......2006-02-08

In the realm of space music which seems to be receding as we move forward in time, this Michael Stearns album is one to hold onto. In essence it's a unique "sonic storybook" that captures the nighttime feel of a spaceship encounter in the desert. This is one of my favorite CDs of all time for nighttime/bedtime listening. It can send you off to serene, spacey slumber.

A masterpiece.......2004-09-20

Michael Stearns is not my favourite ambient music author. I think that his works suffer from "new age sindrom" of cheap electronic music supposed to be listen at any time during any kind of works which means at the end supposed to not be listen at all, and never. However, this CD is an exception to this instant supermarket kind of music, as Encounter is deep, powerfull and inspiring CD. It's a very pleasent surprise for me. The CD contains 3 melancholic tracks which are among the best ever composed in electronic music, and few other tracks which go very very deep in reflexion about philosopical meaning of the encounter with another lifeform. So, if you think about yourself as an ambien freak, then this is one of those rare CD which you should have in your collection and keep it forever.

Timeless.......2002-08-13

If you're into space music this CD should be in your collection. I won't call it great but close enough. At my job I work at a computer and can listen to music while I work. That's where this sounds the best. My favorite is "Within". All the songs on here are a trip. I prefer to listen to homemade tapes at work as opposed to CD's. I have a tape with "Encounter" on one side and "Sea of Glass" by Giles Reaves on the other. They compliment each other well. This is space music with no frills so prepare to hear some far out sounding music. Actually, I think I should rate this CD 4 1/2.

One of the best deep space-ambient cd's.......2001-10-13

I have listened for 25 years to hundreds of ambient, new age, space music, classic electronic a la schulze, and this cd is very special. Stearns has made a tremendously deep work of art.

A Felicitous pairing.......2004-05-28

This unlikely 1977 pairing turned out to be a bonanza for both men. Tate had not yet begun to lose his wind and Ibrahim was young and still open to the jazz influences he was searching for in America. Both men somehow conspired to bring out the best in the other. Ibrahim was so respectful of Tate that he entrusted his own opening tune, "Goduka Mfundi", to the captaincy of Tate and the rhythm section and sat out on piano. Tate never sounded better. Ibrahim's South African tonic was just the pick-me-up Tate needed as he entered the senior years of his career. And Ibrahim displays what a completely original keyboard voice he is on Duke's "In a Sentimental Mood" and the monumental, "Django". Thought you'd heard everything that could be done with "Django"? You haven't heard this. But perhaps the greatest revelation of this CD is bassist, Cecil McBee, who is liberally featured throughout and proves himself an absolute monster of the upright.If Hank O'Neal ever produced a better record I haven't heard it yet. This is jazz at its shining best.

the story of an incredible meeting.......2001-12-26

Who would have thought that Buddy Tate and Abdullah Ibrahim (aka Dollar Brand) would record together someday ? Buddy Tate (1913-2001),a tenor sax master from the swing era, was a member of Count Basie's orchestra at the end of the thirties,and remained active in music after he turned 80 years old. Pianist Abdullah Ibrahim (born October 9,1934 in South Africa),was discovered by Duke Ellington.Duke even produced his first recording session, on the Reprise label (at that time,Abdullah was known as Dollar Brand),and also produced a record of Dollar's wife,singer Sathima Bea Benjamin.Then,Abdullah recorded several masterpieces,mostly in solo piano ("anthem for the new nations" on Denon,"ode to Duke Ellington" and "memories" on West Wind,"african piano" on ECM,"anatomy of a south african village" on Black Lion,and many others.
In 1977,producer Hank O'Neal had the crazy idea of inviting Dollar and Buddy to record together.This was the idea: Abdullah would teach Buddy some of his tunes ("Goduka Mfundi" and "Heyt Mazurki"),Buddy would teach Abdullah some of his ("doggin' around" and "just you,just me"), and a pair of standards would complete the session ("poor butterfly" and Duke's "in a sentimental mood").Bassist Cecil McBee and drummer Roy Brooks were hired for the session;they both recorded with Abdullah for Enja a few months before.Buddy Tate's playing is great,he really feels at home, and Abdullah's solos on standards is interesting to discover.After the first six tracks were taped,Buddy had to leave because he was playing at the Crawdaddy Club,NYC,so the trio recorded two more tracks which didn't appear on the original LP."shrimp boats", a Randy Weston original, sounds very african."Django", of course, is John Lewis' masterpiece, a tune dedicated to french gipsy guitar player, Django Reinhardt.After a haunting ad-lib introduction,with only drums,bass and voice (Abdullah's ?),the trio goes into a Coltrane-like exploration of the theme,without playing it.Abdullah's playing is very reminiscent of McCoy Tyner's,not based on the melody of the tune but only on the chords.THis is a very interesting meeting of two masters who maybe would never had the opportunity of playing together.And another marvel from Chiaroscuro,a label who commited some great records in the 70's.

The first three episodes of "Star Trek: The Next Generation".......2006-02-23

"Encounter at Farpoint" (Written by D.C. Fontana and Gene Roddenberry, First aired September 28, 1987) was the two-hour pilot "movie" that introduced us to the new crew of the new starship "Enterprise-D" as they come together for the first time on "Star Trek: The Next Generation." The initial mission for the Galaxy-class starship is to check out Farpoint Station, which has been created on Deneb IV. Captain Jean-Luc Picard is not only trying to negotiate an agreement for Starfleet to use the station, but to try and learn how the Bandi built something that is clearly beyond their technological capabilities. But before they even get to the station, the "Enterprise" runs into Q, a mysterious and powerful being who puts the crew on trial for the sins of humanity. If Picard cannot convince Q to overturn the verdict, the crew will die (Warp 4).

In the second "part" of the story, the mission to Farpoint will be Picard's opportunity to prove the worth of humanity, but Q gives him only 24 hours to make his case. At Farpoint, Picard meets his new first officer and the rest of his crew, and on the planet's surface is surprised to discover that your wishes come true. Then a strange "ship" appears and starts blasting the Bandi city. You all know how small the Star Trek universe really is, so everything ends up being related and the "Enterprise" passes this initial test, because there are more episodes to come after this one (Warp 4.5).

In terms of the plot lines the first encounter with Q is of much more importance than solving the mystery of Farpoint Station. Little did we know that the trial would become the bookends for the series, but then I am betting that the creators did not know that either as the beginning. There is also a delightful cameo by DeForrest Kelly and the infamous "Imzadi" mental exchange between Riker and Troi that the producers quickly regretted (although eventually it would give us the best STNG book of the same title by Peter David). However, the masterstroke was the creation of Jean-Luc Picard and the casting of Patrick Stewart. Face it, one look at Picard and you know he is not Jim Kirk, but as soon as you hear that voice you just do not care.

An incredibly bad choice as the first episode to follow the two-part pilot, "The Naked Now" parallels "The Naked Time" episode from the original series. The key difference is that we had a much more solid understand of the characters on Star Trek before we watched them be stripped of their facades. The scene where Spock weeps for his parents and Kirk talks of his love for the Enterprise are emotionally significant because they have been set up by our complete understanding of these two characters. In "The Naked Now" the crew of this new Enterprise are still character types more than fully realized characters.

Consequently, this particular episode makes more sense out of context, if you fill in all that you learn about the characters in the years to come. But even from that perspective this a very shallow exploration of Picard and the others and just not worth the effort. "The Naked Now" continues some of the character and relationship exposition from the pilot, providing our first real proof of boy genius Wesley Crusher and the first hint of any feelings between Captain Picard and Doctor Crusher. The toss off scene of Tasha seducing Data does become poignant following her death, but right now it is just a joke (Warp 3).

I remember when I first watched this episode thinking it was not a good sign that the producers were already trying to rip-off the original Trek. When you watch the first season it becomes pretty clear that was exactly what they were trying to do with the vast majority of episodes. However, this particular episode represents the absolutely worst way to do so. The best, of course, would be the Deep Space Nine episode that blends so seemlessly with "The Trouble With Tribbles."

"Encounter at Farpoint" is worth a second look just to see how they laid the foundation for what was to come and even, in the show's second season, kicked it into warp drive. I still remember people actually gathering at my house to watch the first new "Star Trek" episode in two decades. As much as we cherish the original series because it gave us something so different from what we had to endure before in terms of science fiction on television, "Star Trek: The Next Generation" is really the flagship series in the franchise.

This cd is very good. It contains music from the pilot episode of Star Trek- The Next Generation, including the theme song. The music is very clear, without a lot of backround noise. It has provided many hours of enjoyable listening. I would recmmend this cd for all Star Trek fans. Also, check out the collection of Star Wars cds. They are really good too!
