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.

Rage Against The Machine: Zack De La Rocha (vocals); Tom Morello (guitar); Tim Commerford (bass); Brad Wilk (drums).Additional personnel includes: Sen Dog, B-Real (rap vocals).Producers: Rick Rubin, Rage Against The Machine, Brendan O'Brien.Engineers: Jim Scott, David Schiffman, Nick DiDia.Principally recorded at Cello Studios, Hollywood, California and The Village Recorder, Los Angeles, California."Renegades Of Funk" was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance.Seemingly due to the hasty departure of vocalist Zach De La Rocha, what had originally been intended as a second disc complementing a live set finds its solo release in RENEGADES. Originally born in the lighthearted spirit of cover albums such as Metallica's GARAGE DAYS series, RENEGADES is an assembly of interpretations of protest songs that spans many musical styles.From the funk treatment of the obscure "Pistol Grip Pump" (originally recorded by Volume 10), to the slowed-down, stomping groove of the MC5's "Kick Out the Jams," there is seemingly no song the band can't transform and make their own. Identifying closely with Rage Against The Machine's political ideals are Afrika Bambaataa's "Renegades of Funk," and the previously single-only cover of Bruce Springsteen's "The Ghost of Tom Joad." In what fans might optimistically interpret as a hint of what is to follow, two hidden live tracks round out RENEGADES' 60-plus minute assault.

America: Gerry Beckley (vocals, various instruments); Dewey Bunnell (vocals, acoustic, electric & nylon-string guitars).Additional personnel: Andrew Gold (vocals, various instruments); Timothy B. Schmit, Robert Lamm, Carl Wilson, Jeff Foskett, Robbyn Kirmsse, Serena Nelson (vocals); Phil Galdston (various instruments); Paul Livant (acoustic guitar); Hank Linderman (6 & 12 string electric & slide guitars); Ira Siegel, Michael Thompson (electric guitar); Henry Diltz (clarinet); Brad Palmer, Jason Scheff (bass); Phil Jones (drums); Willie Leacox (bongos).Producers: Gerry Beckley, Dewey Bunnell, Hank Linderman, Phil Galdston.Engineers include: Gerry Beckley, Hank Linderman, Dom Maita.Principally recorded at Human Nature Studio, Sherman Oaks, California; East Wing Studio, New York, New York; Roman Foods, Los Angeles, California.All tracks have been digitally mastered using HDCD technology.Twenty-six years after their debut album, America's HUMAN NATURE proves that their formula--boyish harmonies with a debt to Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, lots of acoustic guitars, vaguely cosmic lyrics--still works. Nothing here is as instantly memorable as their early hits, but the songs are uniformly well-crafted and hook-laden, in particular the highly atmospheric "From a Moving Train," and the jangly "Wednesday Morning." There's next to no tinkering with the basic America sound here. In fact, unless you listen extremely hard, these could easily be outtakes from the '70s (the modern drum sound is the only giveaway).

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."

LIVE IN JAPAN was recorded on Night Ranger's 1988 Japanese tour.Night Ranger: Jack Blades (vocals, bass); Kelly Keagy (vocals, drums); Brad Gillis, Jeff Watson (guitar); Jesse Bradman (keyboards).Night Ranger's fortunes may have been waning back home in the U.S. by the late 1980s, but the quintet remained as popular as ever in Japan--as evidenced by 1990's LIVE IN JAPAN. Name a Night Ranger favorite of the 80's and chances are it's here.The rockers "Don't Tell Me You Love Me," "When You Close Your Eyes," and the anthem "(You Can Still) Rock in America," are included, as well as more refined fare, such as "Sister Christian" and "Goodbye." LIVE IN JAPAN would prove to be the last Night Ranger release for another five years, until 1995's all-new studio album FEEDING OFF THE MOJO appeared.

Personnel: Bill Evans (piano); Teddy Kotick (bass); Paul Motian (drums).Recorded at Reeves Sound Studio, New York, New York on September 18 & 27, 1956. Originally released on Riverside (223). Includes liner notes by Orrin Keepnews.Digitally remastered by Danny Kopelson (1987, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California).This groundbreaking recording was the first to feature then-unknown Bill Evans as a leader, and it also introduced a trio format of piano, bass, and drums, which would become Evans's standard format for playing and recording. NEW JAZZ CONCEPTIONS, recorded when Evans was just 26, merges his articulate, vigorous playing with the music of fellow Tony Scott Quartet musicians Teddy Kotick on bass and the extroverted Paul Motian on drums. The album's four original compositions include "Five," a witty, complicated song which makes clever use of the chords from "I Got Rhythm," and the disjointed, slightly off-kilter "Displacement," a study in a common Evans theme of playing against the meter and around the beat of a composition. The most remarkable material is the wonderfully eloquent piano solo, "Waltz for Debby," written for Evans's niece, which became perhaps the most renowned classic of his musical career.

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.
