While unaccompanied jazz guitar can quickly become tedious, Tuck Andress funk-inspired, footloose approach was immediately arresting. Add Patti Cathcart's soul-inflected vocal to the mix, and the result is a disc that very quickly became something of a classic in modern jazz vocal records. While many jazz discs can boast fine musicianship, few have this much personality. Few could take two songs from the Bob Dorough canon ("I've Got Just About Everything" and "Better Than Anything") and make them their own. But that is the secret of this disc--the winning combination of instrumental chops and a personal, individual stamp on the tunes themselves. --Skip Heller

5 out of 5 stars A must-have for any lover, singer, guitarist.......2005-01-24

I found this album from listened to the original VH-1 late at night. There was a video of the Cyndi Lauper tune "Time After Time" that was captivating. I had to rush out and buy this album and became amazed at its depth.

Patty is not your typical jazz singer; she has much more gospel in her soul. A deep, throaty voice that has warmth and is still flexible. When she sings, her delivery is honest. Still, she has the ability to skitter about and improv as she sings.

Tuck is unbelievable. He has developed this style that combines walking bass, chordal changes and lead playing at the same time. Even better, he varies his arrangement chorus by chorus, so the accompaniment never gets stale.

Put them together and you have music that is overtly romantic, improvised, florid without being busy and real. Incredible.

This is their best album, in my opinion.

I learned a lot about how to play bass from listening to Tuck's line on "I've Got Just about Everything" as he plays it on guitar.

Patty's version of "My Romance" is definitive, even if she has to change the lyric ("I must have one soft guitar" provides the clue to the romance shared between Tuck and Patty.)

But the best tune remains "Time After Time." Tuck and Patty change this from a pop song to a gospel anthem, every bit as significant as "Bridge Over Troubled Water" or "You've Got A Friend."

I'll echo the comments of others...get a date and see Tuck and Patty live. I've been twice. Tuck continues to make the impossible seem normal, while Patty sings her heart out, and tears yours up at the same time. I've seen her sing this entire Tears of Joy album WITHOUT stopping, just scatting her way from one tune to set up the tempo of the next.

5 out of 5 stars Overwhelmed.......2003-10-11

I am overwhelmed by this album. It is not just music, it is an experience! They have a way of letting their music resonate within one's being. I find myself not just listening but participating, as if the music was a part of me. Patti's voice is such an awesome instrument brilliantly caressing notes with deep emotion. Tuck's guitar playing leaves me speechless.
I was once asked a hypothetical question: if you were stranded on an island and could only have one CD which would it be? - this was the first that came to mind.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome Duo.......2003-06-25

In the early 90s I attended a free T&P concert at the Central Park Zoo (I am not making this up). I had never heard of them before. It was one of those moments you remember all your life. The evening was one of those rare ones in NYC during summer - cool and fresh. It was a small crowd, unlike the crazed fests that big-name stars draw. Everyone was relaxed, just enjoying the moment. Lying on the grass, staring at the Fifth Avenue skyline, watching the seals bop abt in their pool, and listening to some of the most beautiful music I have ever heard. And "laughing with the band" when a NYC killer wasp went after Tuck. I've never done drugs, but that evening, I was high. On T&P. Wonderful experience. Thanks to both for something beautiful. I've since bought all of their CDs, and there isn't one that doesn't have four songs you want to hear forever.

5 out of 5 stars amazing!.......2003-04-28

The moment I heard this CD,I got very relaxed. And this also makes me feel alive.This is a song of love.This CD will surely light up your life. These two musicians are really talented!!

5 out of 5 stars Intimate Jazz-Inflected Guitar and THAT Voice.......2003-04-15

Growing up in Palo Alto in the 70's and early 80's, I saw Tuck and Patti frequently perform their set on the mezzanine of the Varsity Theatre, a wonderful venue now sadly closed. Being a kid in the age of the Power Guitar, I wasn't very musically sophisticated, but they were absolutely arresting. If you could muscle your way into the room, and find a place to sit down in the usually standing-room-only crowd, you'd be drawn into the twin arms of Tuck Andress' playful guitar and Patti's low, rich voice. It was an awful lot like being kissed.

I didn't actually own a Tuck and Patti record until college. After all, they were right down the street! This was the first one I bought. Listening to it all these years later, it's like coming home.

Standouts for me were the title track "Tears of Joy", because it showcases Tuck's virtuosity--he's rhythm, brass and guitar all at once--and their lovely cover of the Rogers and Hart favorite "My Romance", which is like having Patti sing you to dreamland.

This is a great introduction to this duo, and I urge you also to move heaven and earth to see them live, if you can.

5 out of 5 stars Ellis' best.......2007-05-13

Don Ellis was a jazz musician who was never satisfied with making just another album. He was originally a typical "modern" jazz trumpter in several big bands, but got involved in the "Third Stream" movement in the early 60's. The later 60's introduced Ellis to "Eastern" music and from there, he created the most interesting and complicated big band ever. Tears of Joy is the high point of this band.

Ellis experimented with everything! In this band, he introduces the amplified string quartet. The sax section doubles on clarinet and oboe, and with the French horn that the band featured, sounds like a woodwind quintet. The band had three drummers and a percussionist. The trumpet section had 4-valve, quarter tone trumpets. And to top it all off, Ellis had the crazy Bulgarian pianist, Milcho Leviev to whom playing in 33/16 was natural!

There are several high points to this album. In "Tears of Joy" Ellis plays his trumpet through a ring modulator so that he played chords, all in 5/4, of course. In "Blues in Elf" (elf is German for 11), Leviev starts by playing Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" with the last triplet in each measure taken off, playing it in 11/8. This morphs into a slow blues featuring the string quartet and Ellis playing in quarter tones!

The best piece is "Strawberry Soup" which is in 9/8. Ellis subdivides the 9 beats per measure in several different ways, which is a gas. This is an extended piece (18 minutes) which gives everybody in the band a chance to solo.

This album incorporates so many different ideas about time, harmony and instrumentation, and yet it's not just a collection of gimmicks - it is great music and really swings. It's a lot of fun, and yet very interesting to listen to at the same time. I really recommend this album to anyone with open ears and an open mind.

5 out of 5 stars An Underground Classic Surfaces.......2006-02-14

Coming on the heels of his often over-the-top (but frequently exciting) "Live at The Fillmore" album, "Tears of Joy" marks a likely highpoint in Ellis's multifaceted career as a bandleader. With the possible exception of his final band (well-caught on the Koch Records re-issue of "Live at Montreux") this particular lineup is one of most beloved by Ellis's fans, as it marks the US debut of Bulagarian pianist extraordinaire Milcho Leviev (whose "Bulgarian Bulge" in a nearly uncountable 33 and 36/16 meter is nonetheless played with devil take the hindmost enthusiasm by the band). The charts, particularly the epic "Strawberry Soup" show Ellis's most sophisticated pallette to date, as he augments the band with a string section and frequently uses mini-concertante groupings against big unisons. Besides the leader's pyrotechnical trumpeting, there's plenty of solo space given to the rest of the band, especially Leviev, trombonist Jim Sawyer and sax player Fred Seldon and the rhythm section of Ralph Humphrey, Ron Dunn and Lee Pastora always propel the charts with a surprisingly subtle swing (given that almost nothing on the two CDs is in 4/4).
I saw Ellis live many times between 1972 and 1975; it's still a shame that this most unique of American big band leaders still has not recieved the acclaim which he deserved for making music as heard on this CD.

5 out of 5 stars don ellis left us to soon..........2005-12-16

My opinion: this is the bands best...don goes from trumpet to drums and joins in fours with 2 other drummers, it's awesome!
If your in to odd time signatures, every tune is different. Highly recommend this one!

5 out of 5 stars A Joyful Noise.......2005-11-15

We are all fortunate that this has been reissued. The post-war era was rough on big bands. Ellis was one of a handful of innovators who dragged the format into the next epoch, with spectacular success. Known for time signatures which require complex algorithms to decipher, there is much more here to enjoy than mere cleverness. This music takes you through the entire emotional spectrum, weaving smoothly from point to point. It is smart, complex, and dense - truly extraordinary music. And those drummers!

5 out of 5 stars Fine CD mastering.......2005-07-19

Everybody else has told you how great the album is, and they are absolutely right. It's a shame there are only 5 stars available! I just wanted to comment that the CD mastering is very faithful to the original album. Bravo to Wounded Bird, and it's great to see that Fillmore is next!

5 out of 5 stars Hymns in the Anglican Tradition Beautifully Performed.......2007-01-24

This is one more example of hymns in the Anglican Tradition, sung by the always excellent choir of King's College, Cambridge. It is a splendid example of the sonorous sound of men and boys, accompanied by a classic English organ and, for the quieter hymns, the gentle sound of harp. All the familiar hymns and hymn tunes are here. You will not regret adding this CD to your collection.

5 out of 5 stars Very inspiring music.......2005-07-06

I always enjoy listening to this Cd and particularly because of the orchestra and mellifluous choir. I especially enjoy: A Mighty Fortress, Come Down, O Love Divine, Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, and Thine Be The Glory. Some of the selections are soft such as "The Lord's My Shepherd" and "Drop, Drop, Slow Tears." Still, it is a fabulous selection and one of my favorites.

5 out of 5 stars Great English Hymns.......2005-02-10

This was one of my Christmas gifts and I really looked forward to listening to it. I had just visited King's College, Cambridge back in August and really liked it--you should try to make it out there if possible.

Anyway, this CD was great to listen to. Some hymns are scored for orchestral accompaniment, choir and organ, while the majority of tracks are just for choir and organ.

Recorded in the King's College Chapel (the front cover has a great shot of the ceiling's trademark "fan" stone carving), the hymns are pure English sound--boys' treble voices along with men's changed voices singing with a pure, clean, straight tone. It's very sweet-sounding.

The hymns chosen are also great; "Be Thou My Vision," an Irish classic, appears along with "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross," "All People That on Earth Do Dwell," and "Morning Has Broken" (later recorded by Cat Stevens).

The singing isn't especially elaborate--they're just simple hymns. They're orchestrated very well, however, and they sound great.

Religious people may prefer these recordings more in general--these are Christian hymns after all--but I think it's a great recording and is worth listening too, especially if you enjoy that English sound!

5 out of 5 stars Buy this CD!.......2004-09-20

Having heard Kings College Choir twice, in the flesh, at Kings, this CD is a wonderful example of what you might hear. If you can't make it to Cambridge, buy this CD. It contains many of the old favorites and also some hymns that are not found on other English hymn CD's.

3 out of 5 stars English Choirs.......2002-12-18

Having visited many Cathedrals throughout the UK and listened to the enchanting voices of the boys choirs, I was disappointed with this particular rendering from Kings. Perhaps I am biased in that I enjoy the organ background or no background but the use of a full blown orchestra, in my opinion, tended to overwhelm and was totally unnecessary and somewhat grandoise choice on the part of Stephen Cleobury. Apart from that, much of the music was excellent. In comparison with other CD's from Kings, this was disappointing.

I purchased this CD from the artistd themselves at the Rochester Hills, Michigan, Arts and Apples Festival. Everytime I listen to it is if they are both in front of me playing live and it brings a smile to my face. You can't help tap your toes to this wonderful collection of music. The emotion that goes into each piece can really be heard coming out of your speakers. I recommend all of their albums.

5 out of 5 stars Inspiring and lovable.......2002-10-06

This music has an essence that gets deep within you soul and brings out emotions that you were not aware you were capable of feeling. My brother introduced me to these music and I became an immediate fan, these guys are remarkable!. Some pieces, like Tears of Joy and Romance are masterpieces, the best music I have ever heard and felt in this genere. I highly recomend this album to anyone who enjoys great music and specially for those of us who love music for what is capable of making you feel. Even a hard man like myself, who cries for nothing, not even the loss of a loved one, shed a tear of two when I "feel" excellent pieces of music.

Inspiring.

Jeffrey Edge was a musician with the ability to transcend reality's borders and touch the very soul with his music. Although Jeffrey is no longer with us, I was one of the lucky few who knew him. Although one can speak volumes about Jeffrey the person, his music, accompanied by Malcolm Watson, speaks louder than i ever could. As is the philosophy behind the title track, it is better to shed "tears of joy" while reflecting upon what once was rather than crying over the loss. I highly remommend this album as its raw emotion is unparalleled by any other i have ever heard. The world is a better place for knowing the genious of Watson and Edge.

    5 out of 5 stars A MUST BUY!!!.......2001-03-03

    If I had to choose one CD to spend a month locked in isolation with, this would be the one. Its varied but it flows well together. It's restive and soothing. The quality is beyond excellent!!! At the price, anyone is a fool not to own it, and give it lavishly as gifts. Its gorgeous, lush and fabulous! Everyone that hears it in our home, falls in love with it!

    4 out of 5 stars Great music, Excellent Value!.......2000-07-26

    Rarely can one buy so much good music for so little. This compilation features almost 80 minutes of high quality music.

    5 out of 5 stars This truly is essential!.......1999-10-23

    What a brilliant idea from one of our leading record companies! On this disc, they have assembled a programme of highlights from their vast collection of choral, vocal, orchestral, and solo instrumental music that is very satisfying. As with most CDs of this sort, it is a case of some tracks not appealing as much as others- I for instance am a lover of choral music so the gorgeous renditions of Stanford's "Magnificat" by St. Paul's Cathedral Choir or John Sheppard's divine motet "Libera Nos" by the Sixteen are obvious preferences of mine. However, whether you seek dyed-in-the-wool orchestral classics as Haydn's "Surprise" Symphony, less familiar works performed by period artists (such as "'E irei Madr'a Vigo" by ancient Spanish composer Martin Codax), or snippets of breathtaking instrumental solos (such as the rousing performance of Lefebure-Wely's "Sortie in E flat" which is sadly only an excerpt), this disc is bound to have something on it for you. And all of it is finely recorded.
