These 26 selections, recorded from 1904 to 1922, document the work of an important American player and band composer. Despite the trivial nature of most of the music, one can't help listening to Herbert Clarke's playing with respect and growing affection. He was a most elegant player, with a beautiful tone that comes across even in the earliest of these recordings. The showiest pieces, which can be quite dazzling, are still performed with taste and musicianship. This disc is an important sound document, and the transfers from even the earliest of the recordings are surprisingly listenable. Highly recommended to all brass and nostalgia lovers. --Leslie Gerber

Brilliant playing transcending primitive recording technique.......2001-01-11

Hearing this CD -- despite the distracting surface noise from the primative acoustic recordings from which this CD was remastered -- I appreciate for the first time the greatness of Clarke as a cornet soloist. If he is not the greatest to date, he is surely one of the giants upon whose shoulders modern virtuosi of the trumpet (which has pretty much replaced the cornet) stand.

Clarke's sheer artistry in both composition and performance still dazzle and his interpretive ability brings to life some of the 'tear jerkers' of the golden age of popular brass music in a way no modern performance comes close to.

Although on first hearing one could be very much distracted by the primitive recordings, the brass player soon focuses on Clarke's playing so completely that the the surface noise disappears.

Every trumpet player and cornetist, more, every brass player and lover of band music, should own a copy.

The Master of the Cornet.......2001-01-04

God bless Crystal Records for taking the time to re-issue these extremely rare and valuable recordings from an unfortunately neglected giant in American musical history. Most people today don't realise how famous and influential Mr. Clarke and his peers (Sousa, Pryor et. al.)were on the American musical scene at the beginning of the Twentieth century. It is very important that these recordings (and others from this period, the birth of sound recording) be preserved for future generations.

As for those who could not stand the "hiss" on these recordings, how spoiled can you be? You simply miss the point of all this. We all know that these records were made during the infancy of the recording industry, and that they didn't have the technology we now have. I find it thrilling to listen to them just as they are. Recorded sound is the closest we have to time travel, and I find it fascinating to listen to these recordings as though I was there when they were first made. And most of all, through the marvel of recorded sound (Mr. Sousa notwithstanding) I can listen today to the greatest cornetist who ever lived, even though he passed away over 50 years ago.

Hopefully Crystal Records will someday put out an anthology of original Sousa and Pryor Band recordings.

Clarke is the cornet master!.......2000-08-03

Herbert Clarke is the finest cornetist the planet has ever seen. The technical brilliance on Carnival is just breathtaking. The sound quality of the recording is little hinderance on the true genius behind this man's playing. Don't let the hiss bother you!!!

heartbreaking music from a bygone era.......2000-03-22

These vintage recordings would have been otherwise lost to us--and a great loss at that. Clarke plays so beautifully, esp. those pieces that he wrote. It's notall oom-paa-paa, but music that is deeply affecting and stirring.This is the effect that Wynton Marsalis was going for in his "Carneval." While Marsalis's album is a wonderful tribute, this is the original. A must-have for any serious trumpet player.

Be careful.......1999-09-14

Watch out if you want to buy this cd! It's a good cd with Herbert Clarke playing some of his own pieces the way they should be played...but the recording is TERRIBLE! Naturally, it's a 1904 recording! But the hiss for the first half of the cd is almost painful. It's NOT something you can just ignore, so don't be caught unawares.

GENIUS! Too Cool for School!.......2005-12-10

Finally someone comes up with an interesting concept album that WORKS! and is not a cheesy collaberation that some old famous person would try to sell me at 3am when i cant sleep. I saw them live at the Iridium in New York City this weekend and the CD captures the magic. I have loved pavement since my teens and i slipped into my jazz pajamas in my 30s. Was this album made for me??? get it and be the coolest in your class.

Tremendous CD - and even better live.......2005-12-05

I'm afraid that I don't have the musical acumen that would allow me to adequately review this album complete with sophisticated musicalese terms as others have already done. I'll give you my quick, fresh assessment, while the memory of seeing the band play live last night at the Iridium in New York City is still happily bouncing around in my mind.

My wife and I have been big fans of Cyrus Chestnutt for some time, so when we learned that a business trip would bring us to NYC this weekend, we got tickets to see "Gold Sounds" live at the Iridium. We also bought the CD beforehand, and compared the "Gold Sounds" versions with the Pavement originals.

To make a long story short, "Gold Sounds" is wonderful, and seeing the band live helps to understand why.

I hadn't seen James Carter before, but the dude is the coolest sax-man I've perhaps ever seen. He can play any instrument, and make notes come out of whatever he's playing like nothing you've ever heard. Plus, he is as cool as dry ice in a deep freeze - if he doesn't become a superstar of jazz, I'll be shocked.

Based on the CDs we own, I was worried that Cyrus wasn't going to rock out - my mistake. He deftly worked "Smoke On The Water" riffs into his solo "Trigger Cut", which was fantastic, and he really helped drive the forcefulness of the live show (as he does on the CD).

Reginald Veal was a revelation on bass. Live, he played electric much of the time, and he carried many of the tunes, and sung nicely (as he does on the CD) during "Cut Your Hair".

Drummer Ali Jackson was also great - everyone else in the band is so good that you might be tempted to overlook him, but you shouldn't. Listen to the CD - his percussion is unconventional in spots, but as you'll see (hear?) it's just what every track needed.

Hearing the CD after seeing the band live is amazing - the CD makes even more sense now, but even if you don't get to see this band do these tunes live, you will love the CD.

I've seen a ton of jazz concerts during the past decade, but last night's show was perhaps the best one I've ever seen. It's so rare to capture four talented jazz musicians all contributing equally with such success - buy this CD! You won't be disappointed. And, if you can, see this live! It kills.

A concept album that really works.......2005-11-22

No band name. Gold Sounds is album title. All four musicians are outstanding. Effective use of a rock source [Pavement] to produce really great jazz. I will be playing this cd many times. A keeper.

Surprisingly effective concept album.......2005-11-15

Concept albums are tricky business, especially in the jazz world. When producers deliver a hand picked group of world class jazz improvisers material outside of their typical sphere of inspiration to re-arrange and improvise, it does not necessarily make for a solid album. While one would not be surprised to find multi-instrumentalist James Carter, keyboardist Cyrus Chestnut, bassist Reginald Veal and newcomer, drummer Ali Jackson playing together, it is surprising to hear them tackling covers of Pavement tunes.

One of indie rock's most beloved of groups, Pavement was often imitated, but rarely equaled. With strong, often quirky melodies and unconventional song structures, Pavement's tunes are actually ripe vehicles for improvisation. That fact alone does not guarantee success. While "Gold Sounds" is an interesting experiment, it falls short of perfection, but surprisingly, not by much.

It is hard to imagine any of these musicians having listened to Pavement in their prime, and therefore having a vested interest in the faithfulness of their interpretations. But that willingness to re-arrange and invert these already heady structures is what makes the album a success. By not falling victim to fanboy like respect, these four expand already strong pieces into vehicles for improvisation that are by turns more complex and listenable than the average pop tune.

While James Carter has tendency to showboat on occasion, with a truckload of pyrotechnic techniques at his disposal, here his indulgences pay off. By peppering his phrases with slippery, shrill soprano twists and sputtered, multiphonic tenor blasts, Carter enriches what could otherwise become a lifeless exercise in transposing vocals to instrumental melody lines. Cyrus Chestnut alternates between piano, Fender Rhodes and Hammond B-3, sometimes playing more than one at a time. Former Wynton Marsalis bassist Reginald Veal alternates between his typical acoustic upright to play electric half the time, while previously unheard, but inventive percussionist Ali Jackson holds down the time with a stalwart groove.

Some of the tunes benefit considerably by their arrangements, others, less so. After the opening blast of "Stereo," the transition to the lyrical line is a bit awkward, but the quartet quickly finds its footing and delivers a solid improvisation based on a familiar theme. "Cut Your Hair," originally an upbeat, anthemic, shout along concert favorite, here is taken at a slower pace, with a Gospel flavor, complete with Hammond B-3 organ washes. Featuring wordless harmonic singing, the only vocals on the album, the cut has an air of the surreal to it. Concluding with a double timed climax of fervent proportions, the entire piece feels like some long lost 1970s Musical Theater production number rescued from the cutting room floor. "Summer Babe" delivers the right optimistic mood, complete with deliciously tormented tenor solo. "My First Mine" an early B-Side with a bouncy Fall-like riff hardly sounds like the original at all. Re-imagined as Dixieland, so distant from its source as to be a new composition altogether, it is enriched with strong rhythmic interplay, making the piece as singular as any on the album.

Numerous Pavement tunes embody a quirky sensibility more akin to jazz harmony and melody than typical pop song structure, and these cuts are the strongest on the album. "Blue Hawaiian," with its odd meter and phrasing, works perfectly with the quartet's winding improvisation. Featuring shimmery Fender Rhodes lines and Carter's velvety to eviscerating tenor, the piece expands like an early fusion experiment, all space and dark ambience. "Platform Blues", from Pavement's final album, originally an Allman Brothers like jam, lends itself perfectly to the group's bluesy vamping. Carter tears it up on tenor while Jackson drops press rolls left and right around him with the rest of the group flailing in spurts. Indicative of the best of both worlds, "Platform Blues" retains both the structure of the original piece while inverting the form enough to make it valid as a jazz vehicle.

Ones appreciation of this material is going to be dependent on their relationship with both Pavement and the assembled musicians. Conservative fans of either stripe will likely cry foul (unless of course, someone tells them to like it). This is unfortunate, as the quartet has done a stellar job at re-contextualizing familiar songs that have become the classic rock of an entire generation.

Believe the hype.......2005-10-30

This is one of the purest musical albums of the year. The playing is superb, as you'd expect with this lineup, the song selection is top notch, as you'd expect from Pavement, but there is something more too. Stereo starts things off with a funky head followed by a melodic sax on the verse. From there the band goes abstract, but always stays in contact with the melody before a rousing finish.

My First Mine is a spirited be-bop workout which changes tempo and converts to a samba beat, with Carter blowing like a wild man near the end.

Cut Your Hair starts out as a bluesy slow-down of one of Malkmus' most indelible melodies, but speeds up for a jokey, but still heartfelt and soulful vocal finish.

Summer Babe keeps the fun going with Veal's innovative bass-work while Carter hammers the melody home with brio.

Blue Hawaiian is where you know the album will be more than just a light-hearted-though-well-played romp. Although I have heard Cyrus Chestnut before and always knew he was a great piano player, I never knew he could add these kinds of shadings and dimensions on electric keyboard. Carter follows his lead and keeps this one introspective and layered.

Next up is Here, which is either the most heartbreakingly beautiful jazz ballad in some time or the tune where Carter achieves on soprano what he has been doing for years on baritone. Play this one late at night, with the lights dimmed, and try not to get choked up.

Platform Blues is the key track to the whole album. The band is never more cohesive than on this one, which is the most rock-and-roll feeling track on the record even though its textures are straight jazz. Carter's deep horn at the end fades into a series of whale sounds unlike anything I have ever heard. Deep, rich stuff.

Finally, Chestnut's solo piano Trigger Cut ends the record with poignancy and humor, perfectly putting a cap on the record. I have not enjoyed another record more this year and I keep playing it over and over.

A great find for Searcher fans........2002-04-26

A big group in the 60's coming in on the British Invasion, they quickly establish a style of smooth haunting ballads with a double track sound that was unlike any of the other British groups.

This CD is a two of their best albums. The quality is good from the original recordings and anyone that was a Searchers fan would love this in their collection. From Love Potion #9, Magic Potion, Needles and Pins to the haunting What Have They Done to the Rain and A Tear Fell, this album is absolutely super!!

Only a small commercial success upon its original release in 1966, Brian Wilson's "teenage symphony to God" has grown in stature over the years, even spawning an exhaustive box set chronicling the sessions. To hear it is to understand why; Wilson and his contingent of fellow Beach Boys, guest lyricists, and session musicians expanded upon the lushness of LPs like The Beach Boys Today and Summer Days (and Summer Nights!!) to create a song cycle celebrating--and tracking the downhill course of--a young man's romance. There are few lonelier sounds in pop than the last notes of the final song, "Caroline, No," fading into the sound of a distant train, Wilson's dog barking as it passes. --Rickey Wright

Steve Hoffman Mastering.......2007-06-23

One of the key selling points of this edition is the fact that it was mastered by audiophile Steve Hoffman. And it's not mentioned anywhere. If you want to know just how good a 60's recording can sound, get this. There is no compression or clipping from the loudness race here. In fact, Hoffman said that the final dump for cd was virtually identical to what was on the Master tapes. Truly an outstanding job by an outstanding masterer.

Poot Sounds.......2007-02-23

One of THE most overrated albums of all times.

Brian Wilson's whining and complaining about his teenaged angst (while he was in his 20's) has always been annoying. The orchestrations are repetitively lugubrious, and songs like "Sloop John B" are so out of place on this exercise in depressive rock.

If REVOLVER was really a response to PET SOUNDS, well, at least some good came of it.

Pet Sounds.......2003-01-27

Paul McCartney said that The Beach Boys album, Pet Sounds, is the greatest pop album ever written. It was his inspiration for Sgt. Pepper. Enough said......

The Magnum Opus of Beach Boy material.......2002-04-15

Any serious music lover realizes this is a crucial collection of material to have. Wilson is at his creative best in this album. Just as we can say Sgt Pepper is a creative watershed for the Beattles, this is true for the Beach Boys.. The harmonies are equisite. The music without the lyrics have patterns reminnisent of clssical composers.

Words cannot express how good this album is.......2001-10-17

This album is phenomenal. This is the Beach Boys' best album. I like everything the Beach Boys have done, and this is the best. I must say that I am much more into the Beach Boys than the Beatles. Some of my favorite tracks are "I Know There's An Answer," "Here Today," and "God Only Knows." I also love "Wouldn't It Be Nice," "You Still Believe In Me," "Pet Sounds," "That's Not Me," "Don't Talk," "I'm Waiting for the Day," "Caroline, No," "Sloop John B," "Let's Go Away for a While," and "I Just Wasn't Made for These Times." Wait, that's every track on the album. Paul McCartney said, "It was Pet Sounds that blew me out of the water. I love the album so much. I've just bought my kids each a copy of it for their education in life ..." Elton John called it a landmark album. If you don't get this album, you're insane! It's not the surfin' tunes that you think the Beach Boys produce. Check it out. Actually, I think this album is UNDER-hyped. It wasn't appreciated at its release, and most people still think that the Beach Boys only write surfing music and that all of their songs are the same. The fact is, the beach boys only wrote surfing songs for about 5 years out of the 30 years that they released records. And for those who don't like the cover, I think it's pretty darn funny to see these guys at a petting zoo. I think it's one of the best covers I've ever seen.

'Best Of' Toucans on steel pan.......2004-11-18

A collection of the best of the group's previously unrecorded gems, from the powerful 'Maria' to the standard 'Kokomo', which comes across as a jazzy, fun classic here.
