About the Artist
In recent decades, male jazz singers have become an endangered species. For every male jazz singer who debuted in the 1970s and 1980s, there were at least a dozen or more female jazz singers. And yet, some promising young male jazz singers emerged in the 1990s, including Kevin Mahogany, Kurt Elling, Allan Harris and Ian Shaw.

Another young male who is doing his part to keep jazz singing alive and healthy is the Philadelphia-based Lou Lanza, who has fashioned a distinctive and recognizable style that successfully unites the vulnerability of Chet Baker, Mel Torme and a young Frank Sinatra with the hard-bop risk-taking of Mark Murphy and Jon Hendricks.

"As far as the current crop of younger male jazz vocalists goes, most of them are either esoteric hard bop singers like Kurt Elling--whose risk-taking I admire--or they fall into the crooner vein a la Harry Connick and Allan Harris," explains Lanza, who provided three albums in the 1990s and is planning to release at least two or three more in 2003 and 2004. "There aren't too many who are in between, but I like to think that I'm a combination of the two."

Listening to Lanza's CDs, one hears a singer who has developed his style by paying close attention to a variety of artists--not only male jazz singers, but also, jazz instrumentalists, female jazz singers and classic pop crooners like Sinatra.

"I feel that I'm a bit of a wild card and that I'm a combination of a lot of different influences," asserts Lanza, who is unrelated to the Philadelphia opera singer Mario Lanza. "Chet Baker taught me the importance of showing your vulnerability, whereas Ella Fitzgerald showed me that I could move my voice around like an instrument whether I'm scatting or using words. Chet phrased beautifully, and obviously put a lot of thought into the impact and meaning of the lyrics he was singing. Mark Murphy is probably the best conglomeration of all those things because he has the vulnerability as well as the ability to use his voice as an instrument."

Lanza continues: "I think what I got the most from Sinatra was knowing the importance of the lyric. And Miles Davis showed me that you could improvise musically, yet still convey the meaning of the lyrics through the notes--without words."

Lanza's recording career began in 1995, when he recorded his promising debut album, The Road Not Taken, for the independent J-Bird label. That album was followed by his second album, Corner Pocket, a more eclectic outing that he recorded in 1997. "With Corner Pocket, I was concerned with hitting the jazz element especially hard, and I got more into bebop, scatting and vocalese," Lanza recalls. "I wanted someone to be able to pull out any song and say, 'This is definitely a straight-ahead jazz album.' "

But if Corner Pocket illustrated his more aggressive, hard-swinging side, Lanza favored a more pensive, reflective approach when he recorded his third album, Shadows and Echoes, for the Dutch Challenge Records. Shadows and Echoes was produced by jazz veteran Chris Ellis, a British singer who is also among the most respected jazz producers in Europe.

And just as The Road Not Taken, Corner Pocket and Shadows and Echoes were three very different albums, Lanza's next two releases will show the jazz world different sides of his artistry. One of them is An Intimate Portrait in Blue, a moody, often melancholy album of ballads and torch songs. The other album, Opening Doors: A Jazz Tribute to the Doors , is a hard-swinging, more aggressive effort that finds Lanza paying tribute to one of the top rock bands of the 1960s. The singer plans to release both Opening Doors and An Intimate Portrait in Blue on his own label City Sounds.

While Lanza isn't the first jazz artist to record songs by The Doors, Opening Doors marks the first time that an entire jazz vocal album has focused on their music exclusively. And make no mistake: Opening Doors is very much a jazz album. From "Light My Fire" to "Break On Through

Seems like only yesterday the Kronos Quartet stepped up their career as musical mavericks with a coveted, wide-open contract with Nonesuch Records. Now it's Nonesuch's turn to give Kronos the big-package nod, gathering key works recorded by the group--from younger composers and time-tested veterans alike--into this 10-CD box set. As one might expect, the set is stuffed with contrasts, from the first CD, with its 11-part, upstepping John Adams suite and then the far more solemn Missa Syllabica from Arvo Pärt. Nearly 20 of these pieces here were composed expressly for Kronos, pitched and sculpted for their easily-racked mixture of straightforward string quartet roles and intelligently restructured approaches to the even the simplest gestures. Perhaps most key here is George Crumb's Black Angels, in large part due to Crumb's role in inspiring David Harrington to form Kronos 25 years ago. Crumb's music spirals and chases through the air, engaging high pitches and fast pacings as if they were ends in themselves. Gone from this set are most of the short snippets that have filled some of Kronos's other fine single CD recordings. In abundance instead are some of the legendary works: Morton Feldman's long, endlessly patient Piano and String Quartet (with Aki Takahashi), Steve Reich's unnerving Different Trains, and Henryk Górecki's String Quartets Nos. 1 and 2. There are also some of the astounding Eastern European works from Night Prayers as well, including the stunning Quartet No. 4 from Sofia Gubaidulina. And of course there are the Kronos biggie pieces: Philip Glass's works fill one CD, and so do Terry Riley's. What's more, Riley's Cadenza on the Night Plain and "G Song" are presented here in entirely fresh, new recordings. What the listener gets is a huge block of music, full of shifting colors and textures but perfectly apt in giving a wide-angle vantage on what Kronos has done for contemporary music. --Andrew Bartlett

5 out of 5 stars A worthwhile investment.......2003-10-06

It would be an understatement to say that this is a fabulous box set. All 10 CDs are packed with some fabulous music that beautifull highlights the first 25 years of the Kronos Quartet, and the booklet included provides a great history of the group as well as nice blurbs on the composers and their pieces.

Equally nice about the box set is the inclusion of multiple new recordings, thus making this a worthwhile investment for fans. The Peter Sculthorpe Quartets are a particularly nice addition, as are the added Piazzolla, Part, and Riley compositions.

Along with this, the "classic" Kronos recordings are all here: "Black Angels" "Different Trains" "Salome Dances for Peace" (well, exceprts), and Feldman's Piano and String Quartet. Of particular note, I think is the inclusion of Gubaidulina's Quartet No 4, a fabulous recording that is otherwise hidden in Kronos' recording "Night Prayers."

Yes, this is quite an investment, but I firmly believe that it's worth it - longtime fans and newcomers alike have a lot to gain from this collection.

4 out of 5 stars Excelent compilation!.......2001-09-09

I like more classic period, like Hayden, but Cronos does it very well, technicaly excelent. The ten sets are wonderful recordings and the selection is unique. It deserves the investment, If you buy it, youre going to have more than ten hours of joy.

5 out of 5 stars Amazingly Now Retrospective.......2001-06-26

Since their youthful start in the NW back in the 70's, Kronos has collaborated with, commissioned, or just played such a breadth of musicians it almost seems that breadth - and especially non western world culture - is their mission. But, while this conservatively and esthetically designed 25-yr-retrospective box (with its increasingly sophisticated photo-portraits) belies the pulsation of social angst and conscience that underlies the bulk of the inclusions, the latter concern, its vitality and relevance - and not some stylish chasing after cultural breadth - is what overtakes the listener/reader, rather soon. I say reader, since the booklet is very helpful, especially to the relative novice, and well balanced in its coverage of composers, historical contexts, performers, individual texts, etc.

There are probably more non contemporaries performed by the Quartet over the years than this selection would indicate. That undercuts their ties with the sense of revolution in music throughout the ages, but it leaves more time for the present: and that is where one expects the group wishes to be, is most contributory and challenged, and is best and most fairly judged. Highly recommended, both for those who know Kronos's work well and wish a handsome tribute on their shelf, and for those who do not but are open and ready to be affected, whether impacted esthetically, reminded socio-morally, or whatever combination of both befits.

5 out of 5 stars How Could You Not Listen?.......1998-12-19

My opinion pales when compared to this CD. Indeed the group's ingeniousness, its knowing and its balls are in full display here, hopefully to put to rest any lingering contention that there is little more to Kronos than form. To any person who accepts the merits of 20th-century music, this CD presents the genius of our culture and teaches that daring and ingenuity do not have to be sacrificed on the road to technical brilliance. My only regret is that the CD does not include Kronos's interpretation of Bartok. But, so what? Górecki's here, as are Part and Benshoof. Listen to this CD -- soar and struggle with it.

5 out of 5 stars Good for help to know up-to-date contemporaly music.......1998-11-28

The Kronos Quartet has released many albums. There let us see what the quartet has tried new titles and arrenges in each period. But this is the best set for understand the quartet as summary of thier works. The CDs are distributed by each composers and we can see thier identities easily.Unfortunately this dose not include all but be enough to see what the quartet has been.I hope that every classical music fans(not only contemporaly music fans) listen this CDs.

              5 out of 5 stars Evocative, erotic and very modern........1999-01-11

              This is a very interesting collection of works by contemporary New York composers. All are written for a chorus accompanied by a string quartet plus one other instrument (percussion in the case of the Cipullo and a harp in the case of the Wagoner). All have a sharp modern sensibility, and deal with the themes of love and eroticism.

              Beyond that the pieces differ. The Cipullo pieces are rhythmic and lively, De Blasio's are sometimes frighteningly intense, while Wagoner's longer work has more of an elegiac quality. All of the works are well worth trying.
