FROM THE CHOIRGIRL HOTEL was nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Performance. "Raspberry Swirl" was nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance.
With her abstract lyrics, idiosyncratic piano playing and quirky arrangements, Amos has rewritten a good deal of the post-Laura Nyro poet-gal-with-a-piano rule book since 1992's LITTLE EARTHQUAKES. As her legions of fans can attest, she's already made it plain that she can do the intellectual artiste thing with aplomb. What she proves on FROM THE CHOIRGIRL HOTEL is that she can also rock out with the best of them.
This recording finds her retreating a bit from the singer/songwriter-with-backing-band approach of her previous recordings in favor of a more band-oriented approach. Though the songcraft here is up to her usual standards, many of the tunes sound as if they were the product of Amos working closely with her musicians and feeding off their inspiration, rather than cloistering herself away with her diary and piano. It is this development that makes CHOIRGIRL HOTEL such a refreshing changeof pace, and marks the next chapter in the continuing evolution of Tori Amos.

Personnel includes: Roni Size, DJ Krust, DJ Die, Suv, Onallee, Bahamadia.
By far the funkiest of the numerous high-profile drum 'n' bass albums released in 1997, NEW FORMS, by Bristol, UK DJ Roni Size and his crew Reprazent, is one of the few that sounds as if it has a chance to appeal to the uninitiated. The basic drum 'n' bass design--high-speed breakbeats, minimal melodic underpinning, diva vocals--remains. Size and his partners apply the blueprint to song forms instead of soundscape/groove collages, and they don't chintz on textures, infusing the digital whole with numerous analog sounds.
Even the vocals stand apart from that of most club-ready albums. Two superb raps hint at the possibility of a hip-hop/d'n'b alliance that would serve both musics:MC Dynamite's crunching opener "Railing" and Bahamadia's work on the title track harken back to the days when rappers could move the dance-floor with a rhythm other than the funky mid-tempo. And even the instrumental workouts, like the mesmerizing "Brown Paper Bag," which rotates on samples of a stand-up bass and an acoustic guitar, have the sort of hooks and grooves that just aren't found on most electronic music platters. NEW FORMS is an album that remarkably lives up to its bold title.

Initial pressings of UNSTABLE contain a bonus DVD.
Adema: Mark Chavez II (vocals); Mike Ransom, Tim Fluckey (guitar); Dave DeRoo (bass); Kris Kohls (drums).
Recorded at Bay 7 Studios, Valley Village, California.
Artists like Jeff Buckley and Jakob Dylan have shown musical talent can run in the family. It should come as no surprise, then, that Mark Chavez, who is the younger brother ofKorn's Jonathan Davis, is as just adept at delivering bone-crunching, angst-laden nu-metal as his older sibling. On UNSTABLE, however, Chavez's band Adema goes one step further by injecting the genre with a healthy dose of pure pop melody amongst the larynx-lacerating death metal-isms and down-tuned guitar thrashing. In addition, there are hints that someone in the band is a fan of Depeche Mode, or perhaps the keyboard-driven pop-prog of POWER WINDOWS-era Rush. In other words, Adema is no second-generation rap-rock rip off, but rather a band unafraid to build upon its stellar metal pedigree with a variety of atypical sonic detours.

MY LOVE IS YOUR LOVE was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best R&B Album. "It's Not Right But It's Okay" won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. "It's Not Right But It's Okay" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best R&B Song. "Heartbreak Hotel" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal and for Best R&B Song.
Whitney Houston's voice is a marvel of technical perfection. Equally at home with pop, R&B or Gospel, Houston exerts unprecedented control over her celebrated pipes, moving through a song like a graceful bird in flight. It is this quality that makes MY LOVE IS YOUR LOVE such a consistently satisfying work. With a talent like hers, there's no need for Houston to stick to any one formula, so MY LOVE is all over the stylistic map. There's a novel update of the rock & roll classic "Heartbreak Hotel" enlivened by guest appearances from Faith Evans and Kelly Price. There's the no-nonsense "In My Business," where Houston gets down and dirty with hip-hop star Missy Elliott. Appropriately, though, this strong and varied collection closest out with a tune that hints at Houston's church-raised roots, the heartfelt, inspirational "You'll Never Stand Alone."

Journey: Steve Perry (vocals); Neil Schon (guitar, background vocals); Jonathan Cain (keyboards); Ross Valory (bass); Steve Smith (drums).
Recorded at Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California.
It seemed like nothing could stop Journey when it kept its string of multi-million selling blockbuster albums intact with the release of 1983's FRONTIERS. The band also successfully made the transition to the MTV era with this release, benefiting from the new station's constant airing of its (inadvertently) hilarious video for "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)."
Also included here are two more hit ballads that showcase vocalist Steve Perry's immense talents: "Faithfully" and "SendHer My Love," as well as the often-overlooked rockers "Chain Reaction" and "Rubicon." This would prove to be the last Journey release with its classic Perry-Schon-Cain-Smith-Valory line-up for 13 years.

Engineers: Mick Glossup, Jim Stern, Tom Anderson.
Recorded at The Townhouse, London, England, The Record Plant & Harbour Sound, Sausalito, California, Tres Virgos, San Rafael, California, Lombard Sound Studios, Dublin, England.
Picking up where BEAUTIFUL VISION left off, this album is full of the Celtic mysticism, spiritual themes and atmospheric arrangements that characterized most of Morrison's '80s output. Again, Mark Isham is on hand to lend his support on synthesizer and trumpet for that delicate, almost-not-quite new agey touch. Van waxes philosophical, as is his wont, on such tunes as "River of Time," "Higher Than The World" and the title tune, and nobody ventures into the mystic with more success than Morrison. Held aloft by a female choir, Morrison's voice takes on a new air of maturity here. As his blues-trained voice cries out with emotions almost impossible to express with words, he relies on his own version of scat-singing; moaning, whispering, and murmuring incantatorially to articulate the SPEECH OF THE HEART.

Personnel: Syleena Johnson (vocals); Busta Rhymes, Rampage, Sham, Spliff (rap vocals); Larry Gold (arranger, conductor); R.

Producers include: Hi-Tek, Bastiany, Carvin "Ransum" Haggins, Ivan "Orthodox" Barias, R. Kelly.
Despite having her first album get lost amid all the attention lauded on debuts by Alicia Keys and India.Arie, Syleena Johnson made quite a mark with the contemporary soul stylings of CHAPTER 1: LOVE, PAIN & FORGIVENESS. Her follow-up CHAPTER 2: THE VOICE keeps the magic flowing as Johnson sings about going through the hellfire of a bad relationship and coming out on the other side as a bona fide survivor.
Songs like the mid-tempo groovefest "Now That I Got You" and optimistic "I Believe In Love" point to lessons learned by someone who's seen the good and bad aspects of love. Blessed with a strong and soulful timbre, Johnson has a range that allows her to go from the slow-rolling gritty funk of "I'm Gon' Cry" to the stripped-down, near-acoustic arrangements of the considerably airier "Guitars of the Heart (Happy)." While there are no cameos by unlikely guests like Buddy Guy this time around that point to Johnson's background as the offspring of famed soul singer Syl Johnson, longtime booster R. Kelly returns to lend his compositional and vocal skills to the defiant "Guess What."

When he signed with Epic Records in the late '80s, Alice Cooper scored his biggest hit in years, 1989's platinum TRASH (which spawned the top-ten hit single"Poison"). While his next two releases (1991's HEY STOOPID and 1994's LAST TEMPTATION) didn't match the success of his Epic debut, Cooper retained his core audience and remained one of heavy metal's perennial concert attractions. With material from three albums to choose from, Epic assembled a greatest-hits package, 1995's CLASSICKS, which also includes live performances of his vintage '70s hits, recorded at a concert in Birmingham, England in December of 1989.
Highlights include the latter-day material like "Hey Stoopid," "Poison," "Lost in America," "Love's a Loaded Gun," and "It's Me." But the live renditions of Cooper's vintage material show why many consider Cooper one of the godfathers of metal and glam--"No More Mr. Nice Guy," "School's Out," and "I'm Eighteen" still hold up magnificently all these years later. And as a bonus, a previously unreleased cover of Jimi Hendrix's "Fire" is included.

The Jam: Paul Weller (vocals, guitar); Bruce Foxton (vocals, bass); Rick Buckler (drums).
Producers: Peter Wilson, Vic Coppersmith-Heaven.
Recorded live at various locations in the U.K. between December 1979 and April 1982.
One of the most evocative and oft-reproduced images of the Jam is a shot of the band playing live onstage to an obviously enthusiastic audience. However the power of the photograph lies not in the obvious enthusiasm of the audience, but in the image of bassist Bruce Foxton propelling himselfstraight up in the stratosphere without the benefit of either trampoline of rocket launcher. Suffice to say those that were lucky enough to see the Jam's literally and figuratively electric stage show on a variety of tours will never forget the band's almost manic energy.
For the rest of us, there is LIVE JAM, the closest thing available to actually being drenched in Paul Weller's sweat. While LIVE JAM concentrates mostly on the Jam's more soulful later years, it does not skimp on earlier favorites such as "Modern World" and "Mr. Clean." However, it is in the later, more nuanced material that LIVE JAM truly shines. Somehow the obvious tension in the band (Foxton and drummer Buckler vs. Weller) led to truly transcendent versions of "Down in the Tube Station At Midnight" and "Town Called Malice." This live album is a lasting testament to a brilliant band.

Pat Metheny Trio: Pat Metheny (guitar); Larry Grenadier (acoustic bass); Bill Stewart (drums).
Recorded at Right Track Recording, New York, New York in August 1999.
"(Go) Get It" won the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Solo.
For this set, Pat Metheny once again took time out of his busy schedule as a contemporary jazz superstar to take a straight-ahead trio into the studio for a day of casual blowing. Like his other previous efforts in this vein, QUESTION AND ANSWER and REJOICING, Metheny gets back to what he does best and lets it all hang out with partners Larry Grenadier and Bill Stewart. What's most impressive is that there was never any intent to make a record; it was merely a set-up-and-play atmosphere when these three virtuosos grabbed a couple of days to enjoy the act of making great music together.
From the outset it is obvious that Metheny came to play his best as he sets the music ablaze with the opening burner "(Go) Get It." Stewart and Grenadier are the perfect match for Metheny's legendary musicianship as the trio covers a wide range of stylistic extremes, from the acoustic nebula of "Just Like TheDay" to Wayne Shorter's harmonically offbeat "Capricorn." Metheny even covers himself with a fiery reading of his previously recorded gem "Lone Jack" and the unforgettably melodic "Travels." Of special note is the trio's slow and groovy take on the Coltrane classic "Giant Steps."

Personnel: Don Byron (clarinet); Bill Frisell (guitar); Drew Gress (bass); Jack DeJohnette (drums).
Recorded at Bearville Studios, Bearsville, New York in January & March 1999.
Jazz clarinetist Don Byron is one of the bravest musicians that jazz produced in the '90s. Where most players stick with one particular style, Byron his made albums that embrace a dizzying variety of styles and modes, including klezmer, Duke Ellington, Raymond Scott, hip-hop, Robert Schumann, and the avant-garde. Yet there is a common thread running through them all: a willingness to take risks, a desire to take jazz further by building on the past, and an appreciation of music of all forms.
On ROMANCE, Byron leads a team of ace players througha set of originals and interesting cover tunes. It couldn't be more un-hip for a jazz musician of his generation to cover an early Beatles tune ("I'll Follow the Sun"), yet Byron makes a beautiful investigation of the melody, keeping the core of the tune but taking it to places it's never been. "Sad Twilight" recalls both the earthy quirkiness of Thelonius Monk and the cool school of Dave Brubeck and Paul Desmond. Herbie Hancock's "One Finger Snap" gets an eerie, semi-free-form treatment that takes the tune into a particularly creepy Alfred Hitchcock film. This is a great set of thoughtful, cutting-edge yet deceptively accessible modern jazz.

The Jam: Paul Weller, Bruce Foxton, Rick Buckler.
Additional personnel: The Jam Philharmonic Orchestra.
Engineers: Alan Douglas, Vic Coppersmith-Heaven.
Includes liner notes by Wayne Olsen.
Britain's a funny place, but not always in the literal sense. While apparently placid on the surface, in reality England has always had issues with class, race, and socio-political turmoil. In 1980 Margaret Thatcher had taken power as Prime Minister, and the youth culture that had usually reserved its disdain for the dominant Labor party had a compelling new target. Not so coincidentally, in 1980 The Jam released SETTING SONS, their strongest and most political album to date.
If The Jam's first three albums are a tribute to the resiliency of British working class youth, SETTING SONS is a call to arms. In the context of politically informed songs such as "Eton Rifles'" and "Burning Sky," even a cover of the Motown chestnut "Heatwave" seems to take on political connotations. The albums centerpiece, the haunting mini-epic "Little Boy Soldiers" leaves no doubt as to the intensity of Weller's ire, with its sarcastic references to shooting to kill for "Queen and country," and lambasting of United States support forThatcher ("God's on our side and so is Washington"). Luckily the usual Weller hooks are there as well, so it's safe to hum along even without knowing what the fuss is all about.

Recorded at Stewicha, Los Feliz, California; Record Plant, Hollywood, California; Glenwood Studio, Burbank, California; Velvet One, Sacramento, California.
With distinct, cuttingly insightful, yet subtle lyrics fed over consistently catchy beats and eclectic arrangements, L.A.'s Black Eyed Peas have earned a high level of respect within the rap world, significant attention at college radio, and even the occasional crossover hit. Third release ELEPHUNK sees the addition of a fourth member, enchanting female vocalist Fergie (introduced with verve on the dancehall"Hey Mama"), and the continued elevation of their style and skills, as the group journeys all over the map, never falling into a funk of boredom.
ELEPHUNK opens the ears from the outset with the flophouse jazz backbeat of "Hands Up," simultaneously easy-going and infectious, before crashing into the fluorescent, straight-up party anthem "Labor Day" using the familiar JB's "The Grunt" sample as successfully as the Bomb Squad did back in 1988. Then there's the perfectly chiseled but fiery "Shut Up" with its insistent Knight Rider-theme beat and call-and-response. ELEPHUNK closes on an unlikely duet with Justin Timberlake, "Where Is The Love," an earnest state-of-the-world ballad that somehow creates a fitting ending to a solid album from one of hip-hop's most intelligent groups.

Perhaps more aptly titled, 'Don't Try Humming These Alone', on this set the prolific Bragg squeezed his impressive and thoughtful lyrics into 16 extraordinarily tight and melodic songs. It briefly made him a chart star, largely helped by the lush arrangements (Cara Tivey's keyboards and Mary Ramsey's violas, in particular), catchy choruses and Bragg's own street-cred humour. Who else could sing about 'drinking with Thomas Paine', who said that 'revolutions . . . are as different as the cultures/That give them birth', and still produce three hits ('Sexuality', 'Accident Waiting To Happen', 'You Woke Up My Neighbourhood') from the same album?

Recorded at Cedar Creek, Austin, Texas.
Terry Allen--artist, sculptor, singer and songwriter--is one of Austin's (and America's) formerly best kept musical secrets."Formerly" because his last album, HUMAN REMAINS, had some heavyweights friends backing him up, like Lucinda Williams and ex-Talking Heads David Byrne. His gravely voice is best described as a cross between Robbie Robertson, Randy Newman, Townes Van Zandt and Tom Waits. His songwriting, too, begs comparison with these figures. Wry, sardonic, tart, irreverent, satirical--Allen's songs are like short stories, with "Twilight Zone"/"South Park"-like twists to them.
"The Doll" is about the way Jesus Christ and religion is "used" and/or ignored by modern society. Musically, he draws on country, folk, Cajun, blues and African music. If Kurt Weil had grown up in Texas listening to Bob Dylan and the Band's BASEMENT TAPES, he might sound like Terry Allen. If you like your songwriters astute and cynical (like Elvis Costello to Richard Thompson), get SALIVATION.

Full title: Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen: Library Of Congress Vol. 5.
Includes liner notes by Dr. Kip Lornell.
Digitally remastered by Roger Siebel (SAE).
This is the fifth volume in the series of Leadbelly's Library of Congress recordings. The songs on this disc were recorded from 1939 to 1943.
The title of this set is one of the defining phrases to emerge from the blues in general and Leadbelly in particular. Even people who don't knowthe traditional song that bears its name know the line. Leadbelly's music has become a part of American culture and his sound has had an enormous influence on the folk and blues artists who have came after him. These 19 songs offer a dazzling display of the power and range of his voice. In addition to straightforward and deep blues, there are also some topical numbers on this set, including "The Hindenburg Disaster." Accompanied by his 12-string guitar, Leadbelly is a model of confidence and ease. These simple and straightforward documents, preserved by the Library of Congress, were recorded primarily by musicologist Alan Lomax.

TAKIN' OFF was Herbie Hancock's first album as a leader. The 1996 reissue of TAKIN' OFF adds alternate takes of "Watermelon Man," "Three Bags Full" and "Empty Pockets."
Personnel: Herbie Hancock (piano); Dexter Gordon (tenor saxophone); Freddie Hubbard (trumpet); Butch Warren (bass); Billy Higgins (drums).
Producer: Alfred Lion.
Reissue producer: Michael Cuscuna.
Recorded at the Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey on May 28, 1962. Includes liner notes by Leonard Feather.
Digitally remastered by Ron McMaster.
If TAKIN' OFF, Herbie Hancock's first session as a leader, is remembered for nothing else, it will be for the biggest soul jazz hit ever written, the phenomenally popular "Watermelon Man." Not unlike Lee Morgan's "The Sidewinder," Hancock's funky little tune launched a boom in jazz that combined the syncopated backbeats of soul and R&B with the improvisation of jazz. The rest of TAKIN' OFF, featuring Blue Note regulars Dexter Gordon, Freddie Hubbard, Butch Warren, and Billy Higgins, is a masterful example of the highly creative jazz that was Hancock's forte at thetime.
Hancock's artistic, exploratory approach is the force behind the other excellent compositions here, including the swinging "Three Bags Full." Gordon and Hubbard form a stunning frontline, working together expertly on such complex Hancock compositions as "Empty Pockets" and the bluesy "Driftin'." Hancock's colorful use of intriguing chord progressions comes to the fore with "The Maze." Finally, the smoky performance of the ballad "Alone And I" that closes the set is a treat to be savored. With its famous opener, TAKIN' OFF belongs in every serious jazz collection.
