Songs From the Heart $6.99 Personnel: Yolanda Adams (vocals); Gregory Curtis (various instruments, background vocals); Al Willis, Desabata (guitar); Donald Hayes (saxophone); Richard Gibbs (piano, Hammond B-3 organ); Rodney East (piano, Hammond B-3 organ, Fe Fender Rhodes piano); Percy Bady (guitar, strings, keyboards, Hammond B-3 organ, bass, percussion, programming); Kevin Randolph (Fender Rhodes piano); Steve Huff (bass, percussion); Sharay Reed (acoustic bass); Maurice Fitzgerald (bass); Ray Bady (drums, percussion); Ray Hammond, Mark Simmons (drums); The Levites (background vocals).Engineers include: Jerry Christy, Percy Bady, Edward Draine.Recorded at the Back Room Studio, Glendale, California; Houston Sound Studio, Houston, Texas; Hinge Recording Studios, IMI Records, Chicago, Illinois.SONGS FROM THE HEART was nominated for a 1999 Grammy for Best Contemporary Soul Gospel Album.Maryland-based gospel singer Yolanda Adams has a fine strong voice which recalls both gospel pioneers such as Shirley Caesar or Mahalia Jackson and the jazzier side of Aretha Franklin. The three tracks co-written and played by producer Gregory Curtis create an interesting tension by placing Adams’ passionate vocals and devotional lyrics on a Whitney Houston/Mariah Carey-style bed of sequencers and dancy beats. The rest of the album, produced by Percy Bady, sets Adams in a more conventional setting, framed by earthy Hammond B-3 organ, Fender Rhodes electric piano and a supple, jazz-influenced rhythm section. It’s on these tracks, such as “His Presence is Here” and “Jesus Medley,” that Adams shines brightest.

Beyond Boundaries: Guitar Solos $6.99 Solo performer: Michael Hedges (acoustic guitar, harp guitar, piano).Producers: Will Ackerman, Michael Hedges, Steven Miller, Eliot Mazer, John Diliberto.Includes liner notes by John Diliberto.There were few boundaries for the late Michael Hedges, who did everything he could to dissolve the limitations of the acoustic guitar and give voice to the symphonies in his head. Tapping with his left hand, slapping with his right, thwacking the guitar body percussively, he didn’t allow a single inch of his instrument to go unplayed.In his later work he experimented with vocals, flute, and keyboards, but BEYOND BOUNDARIES compiles his most moving solo guitar compositions. Here he employs unusual tunings, subtle harmonics, and an eclectic writing style that takes him far beyond the confines of the “new age” tag. He explores finger-picked folk (“Rickover’s Dream”), frolicsome baroque (“Eleven Small Roaches”), harp guitar (“The Double Planet”), slow jazz (“Dream Beach”), space-funk (“The Funky Avocado”), even a Frank Zappa cover. As impressive as his compositional skills and technique were, his approach to songs was always playful and humble. For the uninitiated, this is a handy introduction to the music of a virtuoso and blithe spirit.

Love Songs and Lullabies $6.99 Personnel includes: Jim Brickman (vocals, piano); Amy Sky, All-4-One, Jane Krakowski (vocals); Anthony Anderson, Dane Deviller (guitar); Tracy Silverman (violin, viola, keyboards); Thea Suits (flute).Producers: Jim Brickman, Anthony Vanderburgh, Tracy Silverman, Brian D. Stewart, Dane Deviller, Sean Hosein.One part George Winston, one part J. Crew model, Jim Brickman purveys easy-listening piano ballads with tender themes and upbeat lyrics. On this 2002 release the “love songs” of the title are not solely romantic in nature–they could easily be addressed to a child or even to God. And the “lullabies” are not just for children, but for adults in need of a soothing respite from the world.With the help of guest vocalist Amy Sky (and musical inspiration from J. S. Bach), lines from I Corinthians:13 become the graceful “Love Never Fails.” The traditional children’s song “I See the Moon” gets a sweet, lush treatment and a rare vocal turn from Brickman himself. Vocal group All-4-One gives its all on “Beautiful (As You),” a silky ballad that shares a hook with “The Greatest Love of All.” The instrumentals–with titles like “Night Prayer,” “Dreamland,” and “Safe and Sound”–are all mid-tempo hymns of safety and comfort. While Brickman stands firmly in the pop music realm, his music inspires the same sense of wellbeing as many of the most acclaimed new age recordings.

Dance on a Moonbeam: A Collection of Songs… $15.99 Full performer name: Bill Crofut (Singer/Songwriter).Full title: Dance on a Moonbeam: A Collection of Songs and Poems.This CD also includes spoken word tracks featuring Meryl Streep reciting excerpts from “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” “King Lear,” “The Winter’s Tale” and “Sonnet XVIII,” all by William Shakespeare. Excerpts from works by Shakespeare (“Romeo and Juliet,” “The Tempest,” “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” “Henry IV” and “The Merchant of Venice”) are also incorporated into some of the music tracks.Bill Crofut .Personnel: Carver Blanchard (vocals, lute, 12-string bass); Julianne Baird, Benjamin Luxon , Dawn Upshaw , Frederica Von Stade (vocals); Joel Brown, John Guth (guitar); Bill Keith (banjo); Jim Cowdery (mandolin, pennywhistle, recorder); Maggie Holtzberg (fiddle); Susan Follari (viola); Chris Brubeck (piano).Producers: Joanna Nickrenz; Robert Woods; Benjamin Luxon; Chris Brubeck; Bill Crofut.Engineers: Fred Hellerman; Jack Renner; Marc Aubort; Michael Denten.Liner Note Authors: Erika Crofut; Meryl Streep.Recording information: Honeywind Studio, Weston, CT (1973-1998); Infinite Sound Studios, Alameda, CA (1973-1998); London, England (1973-1998); Mechanics Hall, Worcester, MA (1973-1998); Rutgers Presbyterian Church, New York, NY (1973-1998); Sandisfield, MA (1973-1998); Symphony Hall, Birmingham, England (1973-1998).Editor: Christopher Brown.Although Bill Crofut didn’t live to see this outstanding CD released, he worked hard to complete work upon it prior to his death from cancer in January 1999. This ambitious project covers a lot of ground, including folk songs, poetry set to music, Bach, and even Shakespeare sonnets set to music or narrated by actress Meryl Streep. The guest list of performers joining him are just as diverse. Although Crofut was a talented banjo player and singer, he deserves to be better known for his considerable gifts as a composer and arranger. Edward Lear’s “The Table and the Chair” and “In Just” by e. e. cummings are two fine examples of his setting poems to music; Crofut is joined by bassist Chris Brubeck on the first piece, while Brubeck moves to piano and classical singer Dawn Upshaw and guitarist Joel Brown are added for the superb “In Just,” which Crofut originally set to music and first recorded in the 1960s after a successful audition to obtain permission from the poet’s widow. Together they work magic with the unusual flow of this well known poem. A T-shirt with a Shaker alphabet that incorporated names of animals inspired Crofut’s entertaining miniature “Alligator Hedgehog.” Upshaw is hilarious as the young girl in “Mr. Bear,” with Chris Brubeck’s charming piano accompaniment. The old folk song “The Fox,” recorded by Burl Ives and a host of others previously, incorporates both the American and English versions with a call and response between Crofut and Ben Luxon, who was previously a soloist with the Munich Bach Choir; the singers are accompanied by pennywhistle, bass, and guitar in a spirited performa

Love Songs, Vol. 2 $13.99 Personnel: Billie Holiday (vocals); Hymie Schertzer (alto saxophone, clarinet); Babe Russin (tenor saxophone, clarinet); Harry Carney (baritone saxophone, clarinet); Johnny Hodges (alto saxophone); Lester Young (tenor saxophone); Bunny Berigan, Buck Clayton, Roy Eldridge (trumpet); Artie Shaw, Irving Fazola, Vido Musso, Buster Bailey (clarinet); Teddy Wilson, Joe Bushkin, Clyde Hart, Claude Thornhill, Sonny White (piano); Lawrence Lucie, Dick McDonough, Allan Reuss, Freddie Green, Eddie Durham (guitar); John Kirby, Pete Peterson, Walter Page (bass); Cozy Cole, Gene Krupa, Jo Jones (drums).Recorded between 1936 & 1941.Personnel: Danny Barker , Dick McDonough, Eddie Durham, Freddie Green, Lawrence Lucie, Allan Reuss (guitar); Hymie Schertzer (clarinet, alto saxophone); Ernie Powell, Babe Russin, Vido Musso (clarinet, tenor saxophone); Harry Carney (clarinet, baritone saxophone); Irving Fazola, Prince Robinson, Jimmy Hamilton, Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, Buster Bailey (clarinet); Benny Carter (alto saxophone, tenor saxophone); Carl Frye, Johnny Hodges (alto saxophone); Kermit Scott, Lester Young , Ben Webster (tenor saxophone); Cootie Williams, Emmett Berry, Irving “Mouse” Randolph, Jonah Jones, Roy Eldridge, Buck Clayton, Bunny Berigan (trumpet); Benny Morton (trombone); Claude Thornhill, Clyde Hart, Joe Bushkin, Sonny White, Teddy Wilson (piano); Cozy Cole, Hal West, Gene Krupa, J.C. Heard, Jo Jones (drums).Another Legacy title fashioned out of the recordings released in total on the exhaustive Lady Day: The Complete Billie Holiday on Columbia box set of her early career. No complaints here, as few can afford such abundant booty, and because the label sticks to tried and true themes. Although, you may prefer her previous swing record, and the bluesy compilation of her work with velvet-touched tenor-saxophonist Lester Young, Love Songs, Vol. 2 is another antidote to the perception that Lady Day could only excel at mournful, striking, downer tunes such as her most famous work, “God Bless the Child,” “Strange Fruit,” and “Until the Real Thing Comes Along.” Here are 16 sides of the more whimsical, sassy, mischievous, or laughingly resigned Billie Holiday, typified by the unabashedly lustful “I Must Have That Man,” the chuckle of Oscar Hammerstein’s “Can’t Help Lovin’ Dat Man,” and even Hammerstein’s depressingly named but actually bouncy “Why Was I Born.” Though she’s not as unfettered as Louis Armstrong (who, for instance, wrung much more humor with Ella Fitzgerald out of their later ’50s look at “A Fine Romance,” Holiday’s version here from 1936), her behind-the-beat singing remains a flavorful reading on these classic Tin Pan Alley tunes. Of course, there are a few “blue” Holiday tunes, such as Irving Berlin’s “This Year’s Kisses,” and Teddy Wilson & His Orchestra can’t help but inject their melancholy notes here and there. So it’s not exactly a picnic, but it is once again a multifaceted look at the total talent of one of the best jazz interpreters
