5.1 Bluray Audio.... :music-listening:
I listened to this one again this morning, back-to-back with Mojo (their newest, also on Bluray Audio).
Mojo was obviously recorded with Surround in mind, the band is in front of you, the back speakers mostly have echos and 'verb, as if they're playing in the room in front of you; easily one of the best surround mixes I have.
Damn the Torpedoes, on the other hand, has a bit more separation, one guitar part will come the left rear, organ out of that speaker and piano out of the other one, etc. Obviously it was recorded for stereo mixdown and they chose not to just use synthetic reverbs and echos in the rear channels.
EDIT: okay, there are some instruments coming from the rears, but it's definitely mixed differently than DtT. Fun picking this stuff out.
Nothing wrong with hard separation using all six speakers; in fact for some kinds of music (Pink Floyd, Bryan Ferry and Brian Eno come to mind) it actually enhances the music. But, whether I'm listening to a rock band or an orchestra, it should sound like they're in front of me, and only the sound of the venue itself behind me.
And I said it before, First Flash of Freedom, from Mojo, may be the best song TP has ever written/performed; DANG it sounds good! :bow-blue: :bow-blue: :bow-blue:

One more EDIT: like many SACDs/DVD-As, you have to click on your TV to select Surround, then hit Play, etc, but at least these two disks, once the music starts, fade to black with a small logo of the album that moves around the tv screen, so there's no possibility of burn-in. :text-bravo:

Songs With Legs -- CD

Andy Sheppard - Carla Bley - Steve Swallow

1995 Watt/ECM Import
Amazon.com

Carla Bley performs originals in a trio setting, with frequent partner Steve Swallow and an alumnus of her big bands, English saxophonist Andy Sheppard. He shines on tenor and soprano, and clearly has empathic partners. Between judicious contributions, Bley helps out Swallow in the drummerless rhythm section. Fine collaboration, as well as faultless writing and arranging, is her forte, rather than sheer piano chops. As for Swallow, his electric bass sings and lilts, with an attention to his partners that is truly impressive. He steps out front sparingly and effectively. The pieces are all by Bley except Thelonious Monk's "Misterioso," heard here in Bley's fine arrangement. Other highlights are a fittingly galumphing "Wrong Key Donkey" and a swaying "The Lord Is Listenin' to Ya, Hallelujah," where Bley rejoices in the chapel, as her big band would do so successfully a couple of years later on Goes to Church. The album takes her far from the grandeur and bulk of the big-band work, but it has the same intricacy and subtle play of convention and invention. --Peter Monaghan
All compositions by Carla Bley except as indicated

1. "Real Life Hits" - 8:08
2. "The Lord Is Listenin' to Ya, Hallelujah!" - 7:48
3. "Chicken" - 8:21
4. "Misterioso" (Thelonious Monk) - 10:20
5. "Wrong Key Donkey" - 12:02
6. "Crazy with You" - 7:37

* Recorded live on tour in France, Italy, Austria, Germany, Turkey and England in May 1994.

Love Songs -- 2 HDCD Set

Bee Gees

2007 Universal Japan

Product Description

The Bee Gees have written some of pop music's greatest love songs--songs covered by innumerable artists throughout the years. But now, for the first time, the Bee Gees' original recordings of those love songs have been brought together on one album. Love Songs features 18 newly remastered romantic hits spanning 1967 to 2001 from the best-selling vocal group of all-time. Among the album's highlights is their original recording of "(Our Love) Don't Throw It All Away," a 1978 solo hit for Andy Gibb that the group recorded for a 1979 compilation and was covered in 2005 on the recent Barbra Streisand/Barry Gibb disc Guilty Pleasures. The collection's sole solo outing is "Juliet," from Robin Gibb's 1983 LP How Old Are You? The first truly timeless love song from the Brothers Gibb--Maurice, Robin and Barry--appeared in 1967 with "To Love Somebody." Both that song and the following year's "Words" were Top 20. "First of May" cracked the Top 40 to end the '60s. The Bee Gees then became the biggest pop group on the planet. 1971 brought "Lonely Days," their first U.S. #1 and first U.S. gold record, as well as the gold #1 "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart." The trio's contributions to 1977's Saturday Night Fever helped make history when that soundtrack became music's top-selling album (15 times platinum, certified Diamond, still the biggest selling soundtrack ever). Its gold #1 Grammy-winning "How Deep Is Your Love" ranked in the Top 10 for 17 straight weeks, setting a Billboard record. "More Than a Woman" was also heard on that landmark album. "Emotion," a 1978 hit for Samantha Sang, was performed by the Bees Gees for 2001's retrospective-plus The Record before Destiny's Child took it Top 10. In 1979, Spirits Having Flown spun off the platinum #1 "Too Much Heaven." "Heartbreaker" was first heard sung by Dionne Warwick in 1982 but was later recorded by the Bee Gees for The Record, as was "Islands in the Stream, which in 1983 went #1 Country/#1 pop for Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton, and is included here as a live version. Culled from the Bee Gees' four final studio albums are "Secret Love" (1991's High Civilization), the Adult Contemporary Top 40 hit "For Whom the Bell Tolls" (1993's Size Isn't Everything), "Closer Than Close" and "I Could Not Love You More" (both from 1997's Still Waters), and "Wedding Day" (2001's This Is Where I Came In). The Bee Gees were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997 and have earned 16 Grammy nominations and won seven Grammy Awards, including the prestigious Grammy Legend Award in 2003. Today, the Bee Gees' legacy continues to grow as each new generation discovers pop music's greatest icons. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Downright Upright -- CD

Brian Bromberg

2007 Artistry Music

Amazon.com

Long before the coining of "smooth jazz," catchy numbers like Herbie Hancock's "Cantaloupe Island," Joe Zawinul's "Mercy Mercy Mercy," and the Les McCann-Eddie Harris tune "Cold Duck Soup" enticed pop fans to cross over, however casually or tentatively, into jazz. Now, on veteran bassist Brian Bromberg's Downright Upright, those three songs are vehicles for name-brand smooth jazz players including saxophonists Kirk Whalum, Boney James and Gary Meek, keyboardists George Duke and Jeff Lorber, guitarist Lee Ritenour and trumpeter Rick Braun to do a little crossing back of sorts to show off their mainstream chops. Nobody will confuse the facility of their straightahead solos with real depth, however much emotion they pour into them. But it's an agreeable excursion for all concerned, with Bromberg making the most of his opportunities to lay down melodic lines. Even after the cover versions give way to originals in the same vein, the music stays lively. --Lloyd Sachs

The Great American Songbook -- 2 CD Set

Nancy Wilson

2005 Blue Note Records

One of three excellent Nancy Wilson compilations issued simultaneously by Capitol Jazz in 2005, THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK cherry-picks from the many standards that the pop/jazz vocalist recorded for the label between 1959 and '69. Here the often-underrated singer, who delicately balances emotion and clear enunciation, works with ensembles both large and small, and her various collaborators include conductor Billy May, saxophonist Cannonball Adderley, bassist Ron Carter, and pianists George Shearing, Hank Jones, and Joe Zawinul.

Just a few highlights of this collection are a rollicking big-band rendition of "What a Little Moonlight Can Do," a sauntering take on the Harold Arlen/Truman Capote-penned "Sleepin' Bee," and a gorgeously minimal version of "In a Sentimental Mood," which showcases Wilson's mellifluous voice. Although Wilson truly shines in a small-group setting, she can capably front an orchestra, as revealed on "It Never Entered My Mind" and other numbers. With 44 tracks that boast beautifully remastered sound, this well-compiled two-disc set should help to deservedly raise Wilson's profile.

SPIN -- SACD

Los Angeles Guitar Quartet

2006 Telarc DSD

Interesting variety; jazzy and modern, June 27, 2008
By R. Heubel "Ralph from BC" (Battle Creek MI)
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Spin (Audio CD)

I like this album and recommend buying it for people who are into guitar music and modern latin guitar music.

The first thing I can say about the album is that there is A LOT of music on it - 18 tracks - I think it is close to an hour of music. After listening to it several times, I still am not completely familiar with each of the selections and their composers etc...

I must take issue with the criticism of "Solstice Poem" - I find it languid and sad and very melodic. I think that "Solstice" got me interested in the album in the first place. Several of the other pieces are upbeat, rhythmic; one reminds my of a tango, having a neat descending/repeated bass line.

If you are looking for something different and new in classical/guitar music this is worth a try.

1. Turn to the Sea, for 4 guitars

At Last -- SACD

The Gene Harris/Scott Hamilton Quintet
with Herb Ellis, Ray Brown & Harold Jones

1990/2004 Concord Jazz

“If anyone ever asks you what jazz is, words won’t do. Just play this music. The pulse, the flowing time that is the nurturing essence of jazz is distilled by Gene Harris, Herb Ellis, Harold Jones, and Ray Brown as they shape rhythm waves on which Scott Hamilton’s tenor glides, dives, and soars. And Gene Harris, when he solos, also rides the tides of the past as well as the powerful presence of the moment. Each of the players has a full, open, personal sound—and each always has sound in mind...It is being heralded as a lost art that has been rediscovered. But the guys on this date have never lost that art.”—Nat Hentoff (From the original 1990 liner notes)

1. You Are My Sunshine
2. It Never Entered My Mind

A New Dynamic Sound: Guitar/Organ/Drums -- SACD

The Wes Montgomery Trio with Melvin Rhyne (Organ), Paul Parker (Drums)

1959/2004 Riverside Records

While even label executive Orrin Keepnews admits that The Wes Montgomery Trio may have fallen short of representing Montgomery's talent, he still felt that this debut captured a large portion of it. Recorded on October 5 and 6 in 1959, guitarist Montgomery is joined by organist Melvin Rhyne and drummer Paul Parker. Montgomery's style, block chords and octaves, is already firmly in place, and he delivers lovely solos on "'Round Midnight," "Whisper Not," and "Satin Doll." The choice of material, in fact, from classics like "Yesterdays" to originals like Montgomery's "Jingles," never falters. The only drawback is that the accompaniment, which though solid, doesn't seem to perfectly match his guitar style. One gets the impression that Montgomery's forceful, deliberate style would be better-served by beefier arrangements. Having said this, Montgomery's performance -- coming at the end of a decade represented by guitarists like Tal Farlow and Barney Kessel -- was a revolution in technique and execution. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a 36-year-old guitarist re-imagines the jazz guitar solo. There are two bonus tracks on The Wes Montgomery Trio: extra takes of "Satin Doll" and "Missile Blues." Although later Riverside recordings of Montgomery are more fully realized, fans will enjoy returning to the moment when he first burst upon the jazz scene. [The album appeared again in 2004, newly remastered and with bonus tracks intact.]

1. Round Midnight (Monk/Williams/Hanighen)
2. Yesterdays (Harbach/Kern)
3. The End Of A Love Affair (E.Redding)
4. Whisper Not (B.Golson)
5. Ecorah (H.Silver)
6. Satin Doll (D.Ellington)
7. Missile Blues (W.Montgomery)
8. Too Late Now (Lerner/Lane)
9. Jingles (W.Montgomery)
10. Satin Doll (take 5)(D.Ellington)
11. Missile Blues (take 5) (W.Montgomery)

Unforgettable... With Love -- CD

Natalie Cole

1991 Elektra Records

Amazon.com essential recording

Four years after her return to recording after a much-publicized battle with drug addiction, Natalie Cole found herself unexpectedly experiencing a virtual reinvention as a bestselling artist and performer, thanks to a project she had longed to do for many years. Unforgettable with Love was the soulful singer's way of paying tribute to her late, legendary father, Nat "King" Cole, and marked her label debut for Elektra Records. Cole, Elektra, and the album's producers--including then-husband Andre Fischer and Tommy LiPuma--were rewarded with a multiple-Grammy-winning set that sold an astonishing 5 million copies in the U.S. alone. Cole's selections varied from obvious choices like "Mona Lisa," "Nature Boy," "Route 66," and "Straighten Up and Fly Right"--all major hits for her father in the '50s--to more obscure parts of King Cole's repertoire, such as "Avalon" and "Non Dimenticar." The crowning glory was a "duet" with her father, electronically created using his original vocal, which helped expand Cole's audience dramatically and took her career to a new plateau. --David Nathan

Shangri-La -- CD

Mark Knopfler

2004 Reprise Records

Amazon.com

Mark Knopfler isn't afraid to drop names. The heavyweight Cassius Clay laid low, the man who made burgers and fries into big business, the kings of rock & roll and skiffle are among the motley assortment who pass through Knopfler's fourth solo album. Recorded in Malibu with a tight crew of steadfast Knopfler sidemen, Shangri-La (the title comes from the studio where the entire set was recorded) chronicles the foibles of the acclaimed and the adrift, all delivered with the nonchalant grace that has marked Knopfler's music since Dire Straits emerged in the late '70s. Seven of album's 14 originals clock in at between five and seven minutes. That's Knopfler in a nutshell--don't rush things, but don't loose the thread, either. As a songwriter, Knopfler has a storyteller's eye for minutiae, which he delivers with practiced nuance. He overreaches here and there ("Song for Sonny Liston" fails to capture the pathos of the menacing fighter), but also pulls off a few career highlights (the understated crime-drama opener "5.15 a.m."). --Steve Stolder

All songs written by Mark Knopfler.

1. "5.15 A.M." – 5:54
2. "Boom, Like That" – 5:49
3. "Sucker Row" – 4:56
4. "The Trawlerman's Song" – 5:02
5. "Back to Tupelo" – 4:31
