Personnel: Marilyn Manson (vocals, guitar, saxophone, Mellotron, synthesizer, bass, drums, loops); John (guitar, strings, piano); Tim Skold (guitar, accordion, keyboards, synthesizer, bass, programming); MW Gacy (keyboards, synthesizer, loops); Ginger Fish (drums).Producers: Marilyn Manson, Tim Skold, Ben Grosse.Recorded at Doppelherz, The Mix Room, Burbank, California and Ocean Way Studios, Los Angeles, California."Mobscene" was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance.Marilyn Manson proudly wears his musical influences on his band's fifth studio album, where the perpetually androgynous singer and company continue their crusade of industrial rock outrage, making nods to forerunners while never losing that which is quintessentially Manson. "mOBSCENE," reeks of ANGEL DUST-era Faith No More. "Para Noir" offers a romantic agenda in grand Manson style, with little chance for radio edit status. "Better Of Two Evils" and "Your Fist And Not Your Mouth" rally with undeniable choruses while "This Is The New Shit" nails a Korn-inflected groove. The set's down-tempo title track is built around a haunting piano line, and "(s)AINT" deftly captures the Powerman 5000 style. The album track most likely to get extensive re-mixing is the incredibly catchy "Ka-boom Ka-boom." THE GOLDEN AGE OF GROTESQUE drops yet another bomb on convention, and Marilyn Manson clearly planned it that way.

Personnel: McCoy Tyner (piano); Gary Bartz (saxophone); Terence Blanchard (trumpet); Christian McBride (bass instrument); Lewis Nash (drums).Recording information: Avatar, New York, New York (11/18/2003 - 11/19/2003).ILLUMINATIONS finds McCoy Tyner, some 40 years after his best-known work (as a member of John Coltrane's legendary early-1960s quartet), still kicking. Tyner's energies as a session leader, composer, and ever-progressive musician haven't flagged since the mid-'60's, when the pianist started heading his own dates. On this 2004 album, as per usual, Tyner has surrounded himself with some of the finest personnel in jazz, including bassist Christian McBride, sax player Gary Bartz, and trumpeter Terence Blanchard.Tyner's music is appealing for its balance of familiar hard-bop vocabulary and intricately wrought structures--it is rhythmic and accessible, yet intellectually engaging. Tyner plays with great vigor, mixing virtuoso classical flourishes with bold chords and dazzlingly complex solos. His compositions here touch on avant-bebop ("The Chase"), Latin groove ("Angelina"), and smooth swing (the title track--on which all the musicians get a chance to stretch out). Blanchard's playing is especially notable, substantiating the melody lines in the chorus and blazing on the solos (as on "New Orleans Stomp," driven by a classic second-line beat). The high quality of music here--in conception and execution--should come as no surprise to long-time fans of Tyner or his sidemen.

Full title: Michael Feinstein With The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra.This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.Personnel includes: Michael Feinstein (vocals, piano); Alan Broadbent (arranger, conductor, piano); Avishai Cohen (bass); Albie Berk (drums); The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra.Producers: Allen Sviridoff, Leslie Ann Jones.Recorded at The Mann Auditorium, Tel Aviv, Israel; Capitol, Hollywood,California; Skywalker Sound Studios, Marin County, California. Includes linernotes by Michael Feinstein. MICHAEL FEINSTEIN WITH THE ISRAEL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA was nominated forthe 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.Though he's one of the premier modern interpreters of the Great American Songbook, Michael Feinstein went until 2001 without ever releasing an album featuring symphony orchestra. His intimate, cabaret-bred interpretive style might strike some as an unusual match for full orchestra, but Alan Broadbent's arrangements (and the orchestra's innate gifts) ensure that Feinstein's up-close-and-personal vocal approach is never overwhelmed. Whether delivering a lovelorn ballad like "Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out to Dry" or getting bold and swinging on "The Best Is Yet To Come," Feinstein glides along smoothly on the sensuous sonic blanket the orchestra provides, making for a rich, distinctive recording.

McCutcheon is known as a first rate folk guitarist, but he underplays both his guitar skills and his folkie side in favor of full band arrangements featuring lots of electric instruments. This is ostensibly a children's album, but if you weren't listening intently to the skew of the lyrics, you'd just think it was a straight-up contemporary singer-songwriter effort. This recording continues McCutcheon's seasonal series, and it does contain songs about Halloween, Thanksgiving and such, but it seems to venture far beyond the theme. AUTUMNSONGS is ultimately a family album rather than just a kids' recording.

The Alarm: Dave Sharp (vocals, guitar); Mike Peters (vocals, harmonica); Eddie MacDonald (vocals, bass); Nigel Twist (drums).Recorded live at The Metro, Boston, Massachusetts in 1983. Includes liner notes by Dave Thompson.KING BISCUIT FLOWER HOUR concerts tend to catch bands either at the beginnings or the ends of their careers. In the case of the Welsh rockers the Alarm, it was the former. Recorded in late 1983 at the Metro, a legendary club in Allston, Massachusetts, this set captures Mike Peters and crew just after their stint opening for U2--the group's obvious inspiration--on the WAR tour.At the time, the Alarm's main feature, aside from their sky-high vintage '80s hair, was the fact that they were a strictly acoustic act who nonetheless rocked harder than many electric bands. Of course, the set features their three early standards, "Marching On," "68 Guns," and the Stephen King-inspired "The Stand," along with 11 other tracks and a revealing recent interview with Peters. The Alarm, surprisingly, never released a live album during their career, so this is a nice surprise for fans.

Personnel: Randy Brecker (trumpet, flugelhorn); Maucha Adnet (vocals); David Sanborn (saxophone); David Bargeron (trombone); David Taylor (bass trombone, tuba); Keith Underwood (alto & bass flutes); Lawrence Feldman (bass flute); Bob Mintzer (bass clarinet); Gil Goldstein (accordion, keyboards); Adam Rogers (acoustic & electric guitars); Bakithi Kumalo (bass); Jonathan Joseph (drums); Cafe (percussion); Richard Sussman (programming).Principally recorded at Power Station, New York, New York. Includes liner notes by Randy Brecker.INTO THE SUN won the 1998 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Jazz Performance.This disc showcases Randy Brecker's wide-ranging influences and continuing love affair with Brazilian music. Brecker and arranger Gil Goldstein brought together musicians from NY, Miami, Brazil and South Africa to form a unit which manages to maintain a spontaneous feel within some extremely challenging and modern arrangements. "Grey Area" employs the talents of guitarist Adam Rogers to give the track a hard-edged fusion sound reminiscent of early Brecker Brothers music. "The Hottest Man In Town, a recording made by Brecker's father, when the junior Brecker was only two weeks old, predicting Randy's future as an innovative jazz musican.

Personnel: Dave Davies (vocals, acoustic & electric guitars); Andrew Sandoval (guitar, background vocals); Kristian Hoffman (keyboards); Dave Jenkins (bass, background vocals); Jim Laspesa (drums, background vocals).Recorded live at The Bottom Line in New York, New York in 1998.The fame and fortunes of Kinks guitarist Dave Davies have been overshadowed by his brother Ray, lead singer and principal songwriter of that band. Dave has never quite had his due as a contributor to one of the 1960s and '70s best mainstream rock bands, even though he wrote one of the Kinks' best tunes, "Death Of a Clown," and provided the band's sound with much of its rock & roll weight.The live ROCK BOTTOM finds Dave Davies fronting a lean, punchy outfit at New York City's legendary Bottom Line, playing a mixture of Kinks classics, obscurities, and songs from his solo albums. The program spans the Kinks' early American R&B roots ("Beautiful Delilah"), the melancholy mid-'60s landmarks ("Too Much on My Mind," where he sounds quite a bit like Ray), their wry later '60s highlights, such as "Picture Book," and Dave's solo career originals, like the wistful, slightly Band-like "Strangers." What Davies' voice lacks in subtlety and nuance, he more than makes up for in enthusiasm and good-natured earnestness. He also gets to cut loose on guitar, letting loose grunge-edged power chords, and upping the energy-level considerably on "All Day and All of the Night" and "I'm Not Like Everybody Else."

Personnel: Mose Allison (piano); Addison Farmer (bass); Ronnie Free, Nick Stabulas (drums).Recorded in Hackensack, New Jersey between November 1957 & August 1959. Includes liner notes by Jack McKinney.Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (1997, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California).Singer/songwriter/pianist Mose Allison has proven himself equally at home with jazz and blues, making him difficult to categorize. Allison's songs have been covered by artists as diverse as The Who ("Young Man Blues"), Bonnie Raitt ("Everybody's Cryin' Mercy"), Van Morrison, and Marlena Shaw. His underrated piano playing is straightforward and intensely lyrical, descended from Fats Waller, Nat "King" Cole (himself an underrated and influential pianist), and Pete Johnson. DOWN HOME PIANO is a compilation of Allison originals from his late 1950's albums AUTUMN SONG, CREEK BANK, RAMBLIN' WITH MOSE, and LOCAL COLOR, originally issued on Prestige.Here, the focus is on Allison the pianist/composer, accompanied by drums and acoustic bass. Throughout, he effortlessly combines jazz, blues, and country music, swinging like crazy throughout; witness the wildly careening "Devil In The Cane Field," "Town," which manages to be urbane and down-home at the same time, or the laid-back, subtly Thelonious Monk-like "Moon And Cypress."
