Nancy Sinatra

Country - Released February 5, 2021 | Boots Enterprises, Inc.

Hi-Res Distinctions 4F de Télérama
If you were Frank Sinatra's daughter and wanted a career in music, how would you go about stepping out of your father's shadow? After a couple of cutesy singles cut with the producer behind Annette Funicello records, Nancy Sinatra, Frank's oldest child found her groove as the kind of female badass rebel that her father likely adored: fashion influencer who brought miniskirts from Carnaby Street to America's Main Street; daring agitator who shared a rare interracial kiss with dad's pal Sammy Davis Jr. on national TV; Playboy cover star at age 54. It's the attitude and image that's given her career a lasting aura and made it influential for artists as diverse as Primal Scream, Morrissey and Lana Del Rey who has modestly referred to herself as a "Gangster Nancy Sinatra." As this well-curated compilation proves, Sinatra's most influential music comes from her '60s collaboration with oddball pop chameleon Lee Hazlewood. Although the pair's vaguely sensual duet on the still puzzling, hippie-cowboy epic, "Some Velvet Morning," earned them artistic credibility, the crowning achievement of their partnership and Sinatra's calling card was 1965's "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'"—a Hazlewood original that he originally intended to sing. Sinatra convinced him it needed a women's voice to turn it from a tale of spousal abuse to one of female empowerment. Her instincts proved prescient and her deadpan delivery and Hazlewood's snappy production style built around an unforgettable bass line birthed a defiant feminist '60s anthem. Other Sinatra/Hazlewood numbers included here are the fuzz guitar march, "Lightning's Girls," a tremolo-guitar led version of "Bang Bang" (Cher's first million selling single), and duets that charted with Hazlewood: "Summer Wine," "Jackson." The ace card in the Sinatra/Hazlewood union was using Los Angeles studio vets the Wrecking Crew as the backing band. With pros like Hal Blaine on drums, Al Casey, Glen Campbell and Larry Carlton on guitar and Carol Kaye on bass, it's all well-recorded and beautifully mixed music, solid and stylish, and brimming with a confident Angelino brand of white pop soul. © Robert Baird/Qobuz

Live In Paris

Diana Krall

Vocal Jazz - Released January 1, 2002 | Impulse!

Recorded "live" at the Paris Olympia, Live in Paris offers listeners Diana Krall's understanding of the musical techniques of composition, piano, and vocal improvisation on 12 songs from the Great American Songbooks of Cole Porter,Harold Arlen, George and Ira Gershwin, and contemporary artists Joni Mitchell and Billy Joel. Accompanied by the award-winning Anthony Wilson on guitar, John Pisano on acoustic guitar, John Clayton on bass, Jeff Hamilton on drums, and Paulinho Da Costa on percussion as well as the Orchestra Symphonies European on "Let's Fall in Love" and "I've Got You Under My Skin," the lovely vocalist heightens your listening pleasures with distinctive phrasings and tangible pathways to inside the creative imagination by getting inside harmony, the changes, and melodic structures. On Joel's "Just the Way You Are," Krall is accompanied by Christian McBride on bass, Michael Brecker on tenor saxophone, Lewis Nash on drums, and Wilson on guitar, among others. This song also resides on the soundtrack to the film The Guru and is probably one of the best ballads on the set due to the great solo from Brecker. His powerful but sensitive playing adds the ultimate expression and approach to the melody -- one with attitudinal preparation, which is always necessary for a song that has such familiarity and association with another musician. For those who may not have heard Krall perform "live," this recording will give you a firsthand account of the ambience and excitement of a musical evening with her.© Paula Edelstein /TiVo

Live in Paris

MEUTE

House - Released October 4, 2019 | TUMULT

The incredible story of “the marching band that plays the techno classics” started with a video shared on social media. On a square in Madrid in front of an exhilarated crowd, Meute covered The Man With the Red Face, the iconic track by Laurent Garnier, who then invited them straight away to his festival, Yeah! in the Luberon. Their popularity caught on quickly and all of a sudden the eleven musicians from Hamburg are doing the rounds of festivals, with a hundred dates a year in the most prestigious locations, where they play their “smash hits”, like Rej, the minor success from German duo Âme, or Flume’s remix of You & Me by Disclosure. And everyone loves it! Flume leaves comments on their Facebook videos, and Garnier himself went so far as recording a reworked version of The Man With the Red Face with the red jackets (their uniform) for their 2017 album Tumult. “We simply brought two styles of music together which don’t initially seem to be match, but which actually work really well together”, explains founder Thomas Burhorn. With Live in Paris – which notably includes covers of Acamar by Franky & Sandrino, here enhanced as a Spanish version, Wixn by Surismo and Deadmau5’s Gula, as well as the aforementioned tracks – the group demonstrates that beyond the surprise of seeing a marching band cover electro music, they are able to perfectly capture the atmospheric drama of this genre of music with tremendously effective arrangements on stage. Which are just as effective listening at home as well… © Smaël Bouaici/Qobuz

LIVE IN PARIS 1973

Can

Rock - Released February 23, 2024 | Mute

Hi-Res
Live in Paris 1973 is the first official release of one of Can's most legendary performances, a May 12, 1973 set at L'Olympia. At this point, Ege Bamyasi had been out for about half a year, following the German chart success of the single "Spoon," and Damo Suzuki was merely months away from leaving the band and quitting music for a decade, while he devoted time to religion. This release of the concert was pieced together from several recordings found in the Spoon Records vaults, as well as tapes supplied by fans. In this sense, it's comparable to the editing process of the band's studio albums, which were crafted from hours' worth of improvised sessions. This live set is a largely unfiltered display of the band's powers when they were at their prime, with a few deft editing touches (such as a brief echo spiral in the middle of the 36-minute "Paris 73 Eins") seemingly applied to cover up breaks in the tape recordings, or other inconsistencies. Like the other Can live releases, the tracks are numerically titled, and generally seem like improvisations, but the group often riff off tunes from their albums, using them as launching pads instead of giving them straightforward readings. "Zwei" is based on the funky, time-shifting rhythm of "One More Night," and it's the set's purest distillation of Can's mastery of killer grooves. "Drei," based on "Spoon," starts out with murky fidelity but opens up after a few minutes, in time for the band to accelerate and really blast off. "Vier" expands on this volatile energy, and there's unbelievable chemistry between the rhythm section, Suzuki's impassioned howls, and Irmin Schmidt's volcanic keyboard eruptions. Finally, the group run through "Vitamin C," transforming it into an extended freak-out that probably lasted long after the tape cut off. Live in Paris 1973 is Can at their on-stage best, and easily the band's most essential live release.© Paul Simpson /TiVo

Menahem Pressler - A 90th Birthday Celebration - Live in Paris

Quatuor Ébène

Classical - Released November 7, 2014 | Erato - Warner Classics

Hi-Res
The career of pianist and chamber music specialist Menahem Pressler dates back to the World War II era. He was a member of the Beaux Arts Trio for its entire existence from 1955 to 2008, and apparently he wasn't ready to retire along with the rest of the group. This album was recorded live at the Salle Pleyel in Paris on audio and video in November 2013, just before Pressler's 90th birthday, and it's not only extraordinary for a 90-year-old, it's exciting in absolute terms. The audio CD presents two cornerstones of the Romantic chamber repertory, the Piano Quintet in A major, Op. 81, of Dvorák, and the Piano Quintet in A major, D. 667 ("Trout"), of Schubert. Both performances, passionate and hell-for-leather, represent a meeting of the minds between Pressler and the Quatuor Ebène, but what's notable is how often Pressler seems to be directing the proceedings. Sample the slow movement of the Schubert (track 7), where the forward impetus clearly is coming from Pressler. An included DVD covers the same music, some Schubert songs with tenor Christoph Prégardien and some encores presenting the quartet and Pressler solo, plus an affectionate tribute from the audience at the end. There are a few glitches, but not more than other pianists make in true live recordings, and overall it's hard to escape the impression that this is the kind of chamber performance just not heard anymore. The only real complaint is the respiratory distress of what seems an unusually large portion of the audience.© TiVo

Sinatra And Sextet: Live In Paris

Frank Sinatra

Jazz - Released January 1, 1962 | FRANK SINATRA DIGITAL REPRISE

If you've cringed at the quality of recent Sinatra projects, this 1962 session will remind you of his glorious past. The 26 cuts include many Sinatra signature pieces ("I've Got You Under My Skin," "The Second Time Around," "Night And Day," "Moonlight In Vermont") with backing from an intimate small band that provides lush, supportive frameworks around which Sinatra can build and create his inimitable charm. The session also shows Sinatra at his most loutish, with some crude (even for the time) commentary during the beginning of "One For My Baby," and borderline racist cracks at the end of "Ol' Man River" and start of "The Lady Is A Tramp." But Sinatra's vocal excellence often overcame his idiocy and bad manners, and it does on this fine set.© Ron Wynn /TiVo

Negative Capability

Marianne Faithfull

Rock - Released November 2, 2018 | BMG Rights Mgmt France SARL

Booklet
Marianne Faithfull was just 18 years old when she scored a hit in England and America with "As Tears Go By" in 1964. In 2018, a 71-year-old Faithfull re-recorded the song for her album Negative Capability, and the differences between the two versions speak volumes about the artist she is in the 2010s. The performance on Negative Capability comes from a vocalist who has learned a lot more about love, heartache, and the good and bad places that fate can take you than the 18-year-old ever imagined she could know. It's more than a little rueful, but also full of hard-won wisdom, and the rough edges of her voice only add to the resonance of the performance. Faithfull doubles down on the impact of "As Tears Go By" with "In My Own Particular Way," as she speaks plainly of her need for love and acceptance, both because of and in spite of the experiences of seven decades. Aging and loss aren't necessarily the themes of Negative Capability, but they lurk somewhere in the shadows of nearly every tune here, and the cracks in the surface of Faithfull's instrument generally add more than they take away from her vocals, while her phrasing and dramatic sense are as keen as they've ever been. Warren Ellis of the Dirty Three and Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds produced Negative Capability in tandem with Head and Rob Ellis, as well as performing on most of the tracks, and the weary but insistent cry of his violin is an ideal match for Faithfull's voice, at once complementing the singing and lending it empathetic support. The originals are full of thoughtful observation and emotions that balance somewhere between hope and disappointment, and she puts a spin on classics by Bob Dylan ("It's All Over Now, Baby Blue") and the Pretty Things ("The Loneliest Person," included on the deluxe edition) that makes them an ideal fit for this album. In 1964, Marianne Faithfull was a budding talent with genuine promise, and in the decades since, she's matured into a strikingly effective performer and a songwriter with a clear, brave voice. Negative Capability is a testament to her journey and what it has taught her, and it reminds us she's still a talent capable of drawing our attention.© Mark Deming /TiVo
