Customer Reviews:
A studio blowing session?!.......2004-08-24
This is an excellent album. The previous review gave you a complete insight in what you'll find in this recording so I'll not spend my time telling you who's there and who's not. I can add that this album is so well recorded that it almost doesn't seem a live album. It seems a studio blowing session! It seems that the audience had been abducted by aliens! They didn't make a move, a shout, a breath! There's only music here. People? I dont't know! Maybe they went to the bathroom for the entire sets, I don't know! There's alot to shout and to get electrified here, but no one opens his mouth here! Extremely quiet people! Every tune here is really streched out and the solos are outstanding. All the guys played great in these nights. This album does not even seems a Kenny Burrell album because he does not have all that space. It seems almost an all star reunion. Anyway it is true among all the guys the trumpet player, Louis Smith, clean them up! His solos are spectacular fifties trumpet bebop examples! These guys all together was a perfect jazz machine! There's only one little thing that I don't like here. The scottish melodic line at the beginning of "Scottish blues", I don't know what it is (a traditional scottish melody I suppose) but it is futile and completly out of place. But don't worry it is simply a statement at the beginning and at the end of the tune. This album is spec-ta-cu-lar believe me! A friend of mine copied it to me, but I loved it so much that I HAD to own it original, so I bought it. Now it's your turn !! C'mon, let's do IT !
Great Live Blue Note.......2000-07-09
"Blue Lights Volume 1 & 2" is one of Burrell's two great live Blue Note recordings from the late 50s, the other being "At The Five Spot Cafe." I particularly enjoy this double CD for two reasons -- Louis Smith and Tina Brooks. Both of these gentlemen were under-recorded Blue Note players, and anything featuring them is a treat. (Most of Smith's and Brooks' solo BN recordings have been made available for limited times recently, and any fan of this album should try to find them.) Junior Cook subs in for Tina on some tracks, while Duke Jordan and Bobby Timmons split piano duties. Sam Jones and Art Blakey complete the personnel. The songs (4 of 9 are Burrell originals) are all nice, long, drawn out jams in which all players get a chance to state their business. An excellent album!

Customer Reviews:
Wonderful orchestration and the Genius of Charlie Chaplin.......2000-01-22
A sort of "Greatest Hits" from some of Chaplin's most famous films -- and that's saying something. For those who only know Chaplin as a brilliant actor and director, it may come as a surprise that he was also one heck of a tunesmith (his most famous being the lovely and hummable tune "Smile" from his film MODERN TIMES.) And these new recordings -- using Chaplin's original scores -- preserve the charm of Chaplin's genius while still giving us clean, crisp sound.
This is more than just the incidental music that sometimes lurks around on scores. The "Garrent Waltz" and "Blue Eyes" from THE KID are fully-realized songs that set a definite mood. "Kidnap," also from THE KID, frames one of film's most memorable and heartwrenching scenes, when the Kid is taken from The Tramp -- and the music swoops and swells with all the same agony and heartache, climaxing with soft violins and flutes crying through a theme that eventually became one of Chaplin's signature tunes. Good stuff.
On a lighter note, the CD also contains the famous "Dance of the Rolls" from THE GOLDRUSH and "The Circus March" from THE CIRCUS, one of Chaplin's most laugh-out-loud films.
It is in his music for CITY LIGHTS and MODERN TIMES, though, where Chaplin the musician really shines. The drunken vignettes of the four "Nightclub" tracks make for great listening, but it's the "Boxing Ring" music that you'll end up cranking through the stereo speakers, with its blaring trumpets and up-and-down brass line (and in these new recordings, you can even hear the frantic timpani swooshing juuuuust behind it all).
The music of MODERN TIMES bring the album to an appropriate close, with the refrain from "Smile" fading out as the final fanfare swells -- fittingly enough, it was this music that played as The Tramp (with the girl finally on his arm) walked off into the sunset (or sunrise, in this case) in the final scene of what would be his last truly "silent" film.
As an import, it costs a little more. But if you're a Chaplin aficianado -- or even just a collector of film scores -- this belongs in your collection.
