"'Hey, Sailor!', the latest release from Eight to the Bar, is a dancer's delight!"

Product Description
This CD is our brand-new baby, and baby, it's the best swing CD we've ever made! If you're a swing dancer, this is the CD for you! We've concentrated on writing songs that have tempos that are comfortable to dance to and yet varied, from the bluesy, driving, "I'm Here to Tell You", to the medium tempo, coy title track, "Hey, Sailor", to the high octane philosophical musing of "The Existential Boogie". We have tried to find as much variety within the swing genre as possible, even branching out occasionally with the original Latin flavored tune "I'm Obsessed". Along with the group's trademark vocals the disc has some very fine instrumental work, notably sax player Collin Tilton's interpretation of the Tommy Dorsey classic "So Rare" and Tommy Whalen's nod to B.B. King on "Mean Old Frisco". We feel we've improved with age and if this is your first time buying an Eight to the Bar CD, we suggest you start with this one!

Album Description

Holiday blues comin' on? Well, put a spike in `em! Here's the zaniest, wildest and just plain sickest Collectors' Choice Music exclusive yet—79 tracks from Spike Jones and his City Slickers! These represent Spike's complete Standard Transcription sides, but these tunes are anything but standard; Mr. Jones brought his full bag of tricks for these non-commercial recordings (made in Hollywood during the early `40s). Add to that the fact that most of these have never been on CD or even LP, and any lover of Spike's mayhem-filled mixture of laughs and hot licks is going to flip over this set! Notes and great pictures accompany this 3-CD walk on the wacky side from the greatest novelty band of all time.

5 out of 5 stars Great set of wartime rarities.......2003-05-14

Spike Jones was the king of the novelty song performers, with hits like "Der Fuehrer's Face" and the parody version of "Sheik of Araby" becoming huge hits during World War II. This is a swell 3-CD set, gathering a full eighty-one of Jones' best tracks from his 1940s heyday, drawn from an extensive archive of radio broadcasts made for the Standard Transcription service. The tightness of his City Slickers band is amply demonstrated in these manic, kookily orchestrated performances. Toots, squonks, blatts and bleats whiz by at lightning speed, as one daffy song after another will delight devoted fans. Amazingly, Jones had the unusual, almost unique ability to perform a repertoire almost entirely made up of comedic material, and yet still be quite listenable and engaging. His jazz chops were hardly in question, and from time to time Jones would dash off a non-novelty ballad or two, just to give the rubes something to think about. Of course, just as often he would perform a song that *sounded* like a straight ballad, but would turn out to be another goof. (One great example of this is the sultry "Serenade To A Jerk," sung in slinky, burlesque tones by Myrtle Horwin.) This collection may seem a little overwhelming, but like his studio recordings, these radio performances have a certain brilliance and joie de vivre about them that will leave you enchanted. Definitely worth checking out!

This collection has remastered material from the large stack of Standard Transcription discs from the early 1940's. There are many songs not recorded on RCA, many on the theme of wartime ("48 Reasons Why"), and the quality is excellent. The packaging is threadbare but this is an essential CD package for true music lovers.

5 out of 5 stars The Master of the Wind Orchestra.......2001-02-20

I know of no composer or arranger who writes more beautifully for wind orchestra than Percy Grainger. It is a difficult medium, much harder than an orchestra to make sound terrific. This is probably due to the lack of a single homogenous sound equivalent to the orchestra's strings. The woodwinds are too diverse in timbre, and the brass generally can't sustain (physically) the constant playing such a role demands. But Grainger consistently rises above these problems and gets the most gorgeous sounds from the group. Furthermore, he writes fascinating counterpoints and the whole is constantly filled with eccentric touches of harmony, orchestration, rhythm, and the like.

This recording, with the Royal Northern College of Music Wind Orchestra, is superbly played. Although one may quibble at times with such things as an occasionally too-wide saxophone vibrato, those are minor indeed. In particular, the classics of the wind orchestra literature, Irish Tune from County Derry and Linconshire Posy (the movements Harkstow Grange and Rufford Park Poachers stand out even in this august company), are magnificent in every respect. Also worthy of note is the Colonial Song, with its beautiful sonorities; and the vibrant percussion of The 'Gum-Suckers' March. This CD is a must-have for anyone interested in wind music, in the art of arranging, or simply in imaginative and fascinating music.

5 out of 5 stars Simply Nice.......2000-04-07

This ensemble really does a good job playing on this CD--The Lads of Wamphray, Irish Tune from County Derry and Molly on the Shore in particular. Personally, I don't care for their interpretation of Lincolnshire Posy. However, it's still some great playing. Wonderful job!

5 out of 5 stars They were born to play Grainger........1999-05-24

I have been playing Grainger since my freshman year in high school and never have I heard Grainger played with so much passion as when I listened to this recording of the Royal Northern College of Music. Lincolnshire Posy shines brighter than even the Eastman Wind Ensemble's greatest rendition. Bravo!

The music is excellent, with high quality sound. Not irritating as some classical music can be. Plus the tempo's are varied which is great depending if you need something fast paced or more slow. Best of all, the kids enjoyed it!

5 out of 5 stars Grandkids love it!.......2007-01-03

How to gently insert a little culture into the grandkids' lives without Mom freaking out.....send this set of CDs for Christmas. Dad's into heavy metal and Mom, although she has a long history of listening to Classical music as a child, is now into Country. Nothing wrong with that, but how are the three little ones going to hear any of the Classics with Grandma living more than 600 miles away? "Play this in the background while they're having creative time," said I, "and see if they don't enjoy it." When I talked with them a week later the 4 year old couldn't wait to tell me how much he liked the "playtime music" I'd sent him. The quality of the recording is good and the variety of rhythms and tempos make it interesting. Yes they're a little trite and you're going to have to explain that the theme to "the Bad News Bears" really is Classical, but that's okay. If they skipped the genius of Mozart as an infant, or even if they teethed to "the Magic Flute", these CDs will give them a taste of a variety of good music and who knows how far into the Classical realm it may send them as they mature?

    The music on Hey Sailor! is great. Last week I drove 300 miles and the songs kept me singing and happy the entire drive. Cynthia Lyon's songs are amazing. Every album gets better and better. I cannot reccommend a better album to give as a gift or just keep you in a GOOD mood.

    5 out of 5 stars Great Swing with originals and classics.......2001-12-08

    You don't have to be in a swing dance club to enjoy the music on this CD. These tracks include blues, jazz, latin/salsa, dixieland but stay in the swing groove.
    There's jitterbugging with "She's the Most". Tom Whalens slick guitar in the bluesy "I'm Here To Tell You" and "Mean Old Frisco". If you want a slow ballad with slow dancin then its "All of These Things". Fine, fine vocals by Megan Keith.
    "He Ain't Got Rhythm" shows some sax & trombone with dixieland undertones. Do you want to hear some latin & percussion with a Santana like guitar? Then its "I'm Obsessed".
    And, how do you critique " Mean Streets"..... there's some doo-wop, some blues, cool jazz and great harmonic vocals. The instruments are Bass, guitar and a touch of flute. The flutist is Collin Tilton. The sax and flute musician on Van Morrison's
    "Moondance" album..... enough said?
    Swing demands the right rhythm's, the right vocals/harmony and fine musicians. "Hey Sailor" does it all!!!!

    5 out of 5 stars Every last note..........2006-06-14

    A super budget 5 CD collection of all of Grainger's Piano music.
    Every last note!
    The shipping alone would be $17.00+ for the 5 individual Cds.
    Englishman Martin Jones plays these as if he wrote them. He is thoroughly inside this music.
    I think his best work to date.
    He is joined on CD #5 by Richard Mcmahon and Phillip Martin. Where they rollick in various combos and trios on 1, 2 and 3 pianos. This is exhilerating. Especially on an truly uplifting version of Green Bushes.
    The entire set is strongly idiomatic and given a clear, crisp, warm and spacious recording. FIRST CLASS sound.
    There are too many highlights to single out, but the In A Nutshell Suite and Green Bushes are especially GOOD!
    There is not a bad note or "vibe" on any of these CDs.
    Highly recommended for Granger fans and fans of English Piano Music.

    Mezzo-soprano Anne Sofie von Otter a folkie? Most definitely: she and Bengt Forsberg have been sold on folksong in its various manifestations for years. But anyone with scruples about the brown-rice-and-sandals approach to such music need have no fears. This is quite simply a ravishing collection, with enough musical merit to satisfy the most hardhearted skeptic. Having said that, the term "folksong" here is loosely applied. The pieces by Dvorák, Larsson, and Reynaldo Hahn are inspired by folk music instead of arrangements. No matter--this is such a clever selection, embracing warm and winning Dvorák; bittersweet, wistful Grainger; passionate, romantic Reynaldo Hahn; and earthy Kodály (closest to authentic folksong) and Britten arrangements with all of the familiar inventiveness. In addition, there are attractive songs from Otter's compatriots Lars-Erik Larsson and Gunnar Hahn. As ever, Otter's singing displays much freshness, intelligence, and poise, as well as identification with every mood (the range is staggering for a "mere" folksong album). What's more, she encompasses six languages with ease (plus a rustic British accent in the Grainger that sounds uncannily natural). Forsberg's playing is a delight--the whole thing is a delight. Don't deprive your CD player of a treat. --Andrew Green

    3 out of 5 stars Artful singing, but 35 folksongs in 6 languages produces indigestion.......2006-07-20

    I was proud of the Gramophone reviewer for dutifully pointing out all the virutes of this CD and then declaring that he got little enjoyment from it. Me, either. Expert as von Otter is at singing in six languages from her native Swedish to English, Italian, and Hungarian, it feels like a stunt. Does she really care about all 35 folk songs, some as diverse as chalk and cheese? We get Dvorak's tamed gypsy songs (in German) meant for the Victorian parlor singer, gentle Swedish melodies as simple as pie (the best thhing here), folky, plain-faced versions of English song from Grainger, and hyper-sophisticated Italina and French songs from Hahn and Britten that barely expose their folk roots.

    Von Otter herself, abetted by her longtime accompanist Bengt Forsberg, tries too hard to sell this gallimaufry, applying all manner of odd, sometimes aggressive attack and phrasing. Of course, she is a major artist, so I will leave this CD to fans who might love it. Personally, I fidgeted much of the time.

    5 out of 5 stars Perfect blend of art song and folksong.......2000-08-27

    Don't be too misled by the title of this recital: although the odd nymph and shepherd does crop up and the collection includes Dvorak's "Songs my mother taught me", there is very little "hey nonnie no" or "fa la la" to be had. Most of the songs are not traditional folksongs and even those that are, are given the "art song" treatment by their composers. The songs by Grainger en Kodaly have the most "authentic" and earthy feel to them, whereas the others smack of the concert hall or salon. Even having said that, one can hardly imagine the natives of the countries of origin might intone any of these songs around a campfire of an evening.

    What we have here is a highly sophisticated collection of songs with their roots somewhere in the nationalist musical movement, which started flourishing in the early nineteenth century. As the enlightening notes suggest, they are the products of a fusion between the folk tradition and the classical. Selected with obvious care by Anne Sofie von Otter and Bengt Forsberg, these songs speak very directly to the listener and often disguise their artistry behind accessibility.

    The opening cycle of "Gypsy Songs" by Dvorak (op. 55) are immediately beguiling and the famous standard mentioned above is sure to stun most people who, like me, have only heard it in it's syrupy orchestral incarnation. Von Otter weaves her magic web through these songs with such effect that the four Grainger songs that follow are almost a shock: earthy and seemingly simplistic they transport the listener to a completely different world. "The pretty main milkin' her cow" is achingly beautiful and, like so many really good things in life, over far too soon. Four short Swedish songs follow, leading onto five "Venetian" songs by Reynaldo Hahn. To me, these are the greatest revelation on the disc: highly romantic with sensual rippling accompaniment, three of them tell sensuous tales of seduction aboard gondolas. Von Otter makes the most of the ample opportunities to seduce with subtle nuances and shading of words. The effect is masterful.

    The seven Kodaly songs that follow cannot be further from the romantic Venice envisaged by Hahn, the lyrics often bitingly cynical, with driving rhythms and brilliantly realized accompaniment. Here Von Otter assumes a very different voice and the effect is often strident. The final song, "Beneath the Csitar Hills", however, is tender and intimate, despite some strange sentiments being expressed.

    The recital ends with eight arrangements of French folksongs by Benjamin Britten and a fitting finale it is. Simple melodic lines are woven into a rich fabric of music, which reaches into the soul. "Il est quelqu'un sur terre" (track 33) is perhaps one of the poignant songs on the whole recital. Von Otter bleeds colour out of her voice to express the desperation of the singer as the wheel, central metaphor to the song, churns away in the accompaniment. The disc is worth buying for this track alone.

    Anne Sofie von Otter and Bengt Forsberg have long established themselves as one of the most brilliant partnerships in recording history and this recital can do nothing but confirm their status as such. It is an achievement not to be missed.

      4 out of 5 stars Tribute to Grainger.......2005-07-30

      My star rating is in relation to the other Grainger Edition discs. This album has many tracks and all the most famous works of Grainger are on here, focusing mostly on his British work as opposed to Danish or his pieces that are totally original work. Thwaites really has a passion for Grainger as you can tell if you read some interviews with her. As Grainger pointed out it's hard to fit music which is so multifaceted into one instrument, even if there are 10 fingers working but Thwaites really takes advantage of the freedom of solo work and is wonderfully dynamic with volume and tempo and she adds so much character to these pieces, I especially love her Shepherd's Hey! On many pieces she uses some of Grainger's style: very powerful and almost frantic playing, but not too much. Listen to Grainger playing Molly on the Shore on piano and you'll know what I mean! This is one of the cornerstone discs of the Grainger Edition. To the Fore!
