Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Best of 1999
Maybe it's just Archie Shepp's preeminence over musicians who came in his wake or maybe it's his mahogany tone, big and thick. Then again, maybe it's Kahil El'Zabar's love of polyrhythms. But this marriage of Chicago's Ritual Trio and jazz veteran Shepp is an utterly compelling one. The whole CD bounces in broad jumps, taken at a midtempo pace with an ecumenical command of every post-bebop, acoustic-jazz style. --Andrew Bartlett

This recording brings together two generations of the avant-garde, with the '60s John Coltrane-tutored tenor saxophonist-educator Archie Shepp teaming up with the Chicago-based Ritual Trio. Led by drummer-percussionist Kahil El'Zabar, the trio, with tenor saxophonist-pianist Ari Brown and bassist Malachi Favors, provides the perfect rhythmic and harmonic canvas for Shepp's stratospheric sax flights. As to be expected, 'Trane's spirit dominates the session, as evidenced by the florid, McCoy Tyner-like passages on "Crescent" and the vibe on "Conversations 1/The Introduction," "Whenever I Think of You," and "Revelations," which features Brown's smoother lines. Brown's elliptical solos illuminate the neoboppish "Kari," while Shepp's wails on "Conversations 2/The Dialogue" fly over the rhythm section's straight-ahead groove. El'Zabar's hand-drummed, Afro-anthems with Shepp and company's blues-tinged vocals choreograph the diaspora dances of "Big Fred," for the late bassist Fred Hopkins, and "Brother Malcolm," for Malcolm X. This dates proves that the avant-garde is alive and well in founding fathers like Archie Shepp, and in disciples like the Ritual Trio. --Eugene Holley Jr.

Amazon.com essential recording
That Bill Evans ventured into overdubbed pianos for this session was in 1963 a historic occasion. Overdubs were seldom in the age of Rudy Van Gelder- and Orrin Keepnews-produced sessions, which were sacrosanct in their on-the-spot nature. But by 1963 it was clear that very, very few people could play the way Evans did. Once he had himself to play along with, it was abundantly clear why he was so singular a musical mind. The melodies here fit together like two sets of fingers making a cradle, and Evans dances the lines, flows them irregularly, and entangles them so as to paint himself into constant binds. Then he escapes the binds, as artfully as he had done on Sunday at the Village Vanguard and Waltz for Debby with the legendary trio of himself, bassist Scott LaFaro, and drummer Paul Motian. This is rightly one of jazz piano's most enchanted recordings. --Andrew Bartlett

Product Description
Hailing from Peoria, Illinois, THE FORECAST exploded onto the indie rock circuit in 2003 with their insane live performances alongside bands including PLANES MISTAKEN FOR STARS, HEY MERCEDES and MOTION CITY SOUNDTRACK. They quickly earned a rabid following in Peoria and the Midwest as word spread. With respect to their predecessors, THE FORECAST give the genre a well deserved ass kicking, ratcheting up the intensity and doing away with any pretension. Inspired by influential bands such as BRAID, RAINER MARIA and THE GET UP KIDS, their sound is solid beyond their years. Since their inception in 2002, THE FORECAST have played over 200 shows and entered the studio with AJ Mogis (CURSIVE, BRIGHT EYES, THE FAINT) in 2003 to record their debut EP, Proof Of Impact. The passion and sincerity of their approach attracted the attention of Victory Records and plans for Late Night Conversations began.

This 60-minute, 16-track compilation is the second installment in what has proven to be another successful concept generated by New Age-music specialists. In this case, bestselling author Neale Donald Walsh and Windham Hill have branded a pair of label compilation projects with the evocative title from Walsh's popular series of books. This assortment of preexisting music, which includes several splendid moments, nevertheless conveys a certain patchwork quality that impacts the intended mood of seamlessness inherent in the genre's best thematic samplers. The album's opener, "Remembrance," comes from George Winston's ode to Vince Guaraldi and introduces the project with an urban texture. The passionate vocal style of Patti Cathcart (of Tuck & Patti) and country-tinged voice of Cathy Bolton (who closes the album with "Amazing Grace") at times seem a bit intrusive within the album's generally contemplative mood. Still, gems like Will Ackerman's dynamic, violin-powered "Driving," Michael Manring's inventive "Welcoming," and Jim Brickman's piano solo "Dream Come True" succeed beautifully at fulfilling the album's premise. An attractive package. --Terry Wood
