****(four stars)...Both brothers combine prodigious technique and flexible, passionate feel.

Product Description
After the success of their first outing as the Moutin Quartet a few years ago - they have returned with the Moutin Reunion Quartet and a powerful new disc, Power Tree. Featuring two other phenomenal French jazz musicians - Baptiste Trotignon on piano and Sylvain Beuf on tenor and soprano saxophones - the disc has received wide critical praise for its initial release in France, and will now be released in the U.S. by Dreyfus Records. "Power Tree" captures the Moutin brothers' fresh, dynamic, and funky take on modern jazz with a focus on original compositions.

This disc recycles two different but complementary LP recordings, the first being a 1968 outing with the Gregg Smith Singers, the New York Brass and Percussion Ensemble, and organist E. Power Biggs, the second being a 1965 recording with André Kostelanetz and his Orchestra. Though the repertoire for both is fairly traditional carols, they make for strange listening now. The Gregg Smith Singers selections are often straightforward, except when Biggs's gimmicky organ intervenes with all sorts of effects that are deployed with the artistry of Fourth of July fireworks. Did we ever mistake Biggs for a musician? Kostelanetz's ultra-busy orchestrations are almost comically souped up with cushy strings, ringing brass, and more harps than you'd ever want to hear. One saving grace is the underrecorded soprano Phyllis Curtin, who sings a lovely version of "O Holy Night." Also on hand is the St. Kilian Boy Choir, which has an unusually robust sound. --David Patrick Stearns

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars A Bright & Joyous Christmas Concert !.......2000-05-21

This is a wonderful Christmas anthology, with legendary performers, a bright little pipe organ, and a sparkling small brass ensemble. In many other Christmas albums, huge choirs and orchestras overwhelm the listener; here the 2 small choirs & their accompaniment are in perfect balance. With excellent clarity and timing, the songs are crisp and delightful! They bring back the joy & idealism of Christmas that I loved as a child.

The second half of the CD features a small orchestra, a delightful children's choir, & a wonderful soprano, again all in perfect balance and sharpness. The bright arrangements and clear performances make this a memorable Christmas recording!

5 out of 5 stars this cd rocks majorly.......2004-01-01

hey hey this band is really good, and i LOVE this cd, not just because MY BROTHER IS THE DRUMMER!!! YAY TOM!! ok so yeah it is great music and lyrics, with real catchy hooks and stuff.. my favourite is Together, which is based on my bro's wife... Orion based it on her. awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! :) so yeah BUY THIS CD AND MAKE MY BROTHER RICH!!

5 out of 5 stars Classic.......2002-10-15

It's ultra-fun pop at its very best. Their sound is vibrant and clean blending extremely well with their brilliant outside of the box songwriting. I highly recommend this album to anyone that likes music. I also recommend their live performances (I believe they now call themselves Space Race) to anyone travelling to or near Manhattan.

4 out of 5 stars Best CD purchase in years.......2002-04-12

Every song on this CD is among the best songs I've heard in years. As far as "sound" goes, this is a 5 star, hell 6-star, album. However, I did have to dock it a star because of the lyrical content. The songs are about sex and drugs, which is par for the course in rock and roll, but there's no subtlety here, as seen in the title of the first song. I would LOVE to play this album for my kids (5 and 8), but I really don't want them going around singing "Everybody Smokes Pot!"

And that's the problem-- they would go around singing that. Anybody who listens to this album will. Every song has hooks galore. The first song is a wonderful rocker, but there's an acoustic guitar bridge that ANY other pop band would kill for, and it's an extra in this band's work. I don't see how anybody could listen to "Galaxy Holiday" and not find themselves singing snatches of it for the next week. "Together" is a wonderful pop song. There's just not a bad track on this album except the final fadeout track that isn't even a formal song. (and that's why it's a failure, it reminds you of the complete original and you are disappointed that you didn't hear the whole thing!)

I honestly don't know how anyone who likes poppy music, especially glam-style 70's pop, wouldn't just love this album...

5 out of 5 stars kinks meets beatles.......2002-01-18

this is the freshest pop record i've heard in years, great harmonies with an almost retro 60's brit pop guitar presence and weezer/beatles-esque melodies, at once optimistic and playful without being trite

for fans of kinks, beatles, xtc, weezer
