Album Description

Ron Miles lives in a constantly shifting musical landscape. Always, it is the conversation with other musicians which affects his landscape with shadow, light, and color. This quartet immediately understands-- with seemingly telepathic clarity-- Ron's musical tableau, and they bring to it their own visions and stories. It is when these stories come together that we find ourselves moving through this brilliantly changing landscape.

Talent deserving wider recognition........2004-08-19

Subtle seems the best way to describe the music of Ron Miles. Primarily known as trumpet-playing sideman to guitarist Bill Frisell and as arranger for Ginger Baker's recent jazz projects, Ron Miles has come into his own as a writer and composer. His take on melody, harmony and rhythm can all be described as subtle. But that is certainly not meant to sell his music short. For the attentive listener, Miles' music reveals endless rewards.

This scaled-down quartet date retains similarities with his final Grammavision release Woman's Day. Ruddy Royston's polyrhythmic drumming and Anthony Cox's sturdy bass support Miles' melodic trumpet excursions. But it is in guitarist Brandon Ross' bag of effects pedals that we hear the sound of surprise. His guitar tone and solo approach varies with practically each piece. The sweetly melodic accompaniment of the opening pastoral ballad "Parade" is contrasted with his distorted solo on the following "New Breed Leader". Although there is sonic variety, this is no post-modern, stylistic grab bag. Miles' writing is, as with the best jazz writers, distinctly his own.

Borrowing heavily from laid back Midwestern country and soulful, mellow swing, Miles' music sounds like a distant cousin to Frisell's own recent excursions into the sound of the heartland. "Sunday best" could easily be mistaken for the sort of catchy tune Frisell himself would pen. But where Frisell has recently strayed from more discordant and edgy material, Miles' seems unafraid of occasionally venturing forth into the maelstrom.

The quartet's experimental edge is best exemplified by the closing track, "Fairy Court", an ostinato-driven free-form jam, with a cooking rhythm section and killer guitar and trumpet work to boot. Wah-wah guitar and plaintive trumpet ride over a steadily rising backbeat during "Psychedelic Blackman". Although more energetic than the other pieces on the album, these are definitely highlights.

Ron Miles is not an especially well-known player in today's jazz scene. Being based out of Colorado can have that effect on a contemporary jazz artist. But don't let that stop you from checking him out. His work deserves wider recognition.

Beautiful stealth "out" jazz.......2003-11-04

I'm totally blown away by this disc. What intelligence! What glorious, off-kilter, unfettered jamming! What brilliant (though in no way show-offish) compositions! What stunning group improv!

Listen. This is it. So what if Ron Miles, trumpeter extraordinare, resides in that Western cow-town, Denver, CO? So what if his band is relatively unknown? So what if this disc is on Sterling Circle Records (Wha . . . )? These guys can play. The revelation, for me, is Rudy Royston (Who?) on drums. Check him out on "New Breed Leader," ostensibly a post-bop workout, but in reality an ultra-hip, fluidly swinging, unclassifiable number. Royston's all over his kit, providing deep grooves even as he rhythmically deconstructs this intriguing number. Brandon Ross, e-guitar, also provides some unbelievable fireworks. Sounding like a cross between Jimi Hendrix and Pat Metheny circa Off-Ramp, he lets loose with a frenetic though thoroughly controlled blast of healing e-guitar indecipherability. When Royston comes in for his solo two-thirds of the way through, things reach critical mass. Bam! Splat! Shimmer! He blasts through the sonic sound barrier with warp-drive percussion madness. Controlled sonic mayhem, that's one plausible description.

Brandon Ross--why does the name resonate just behind consciousness?--takes center stage on the next number, "Psychedelic Black Man" (Ahem), with sustained wah-wah incredulity. That morphs into some incredibly beautiful balladic contemplation: "Still Small Voice" and "Jesus Loves Me," each of which, in their own way, showcases the leader's rich, burnished open trumpet playing. The dialogic interplay between guitar and trumpet on the latter provides unlooked-for sonic balm and opens the way for Anthony Cox, surely one of the great acoustic jazz bassists on the scene today, to bring it all together in a revelatory and mesmeric bass solo, which in turn leads into a great sprung-rhythm out solo from Miles, undergirt by sympathetic support from the band.

The next to last cut, "Sunday Best," a simple-sounding though very sophisticated number, proves Ron Miles can do just about anything. Graced with an impossibly catchy tune, succinct, evocative, I'm left with an uncontrollable desire to hit the "repeat" button. "Fairy Court," the last and perhaps most "normal" number here, nevertheless contains some weird restless energy magnificently uncovered by Brandon Ross's stunningly ideosyncratic guitar solo and continued by a free passage that somehow makes complete sense.

Yes, this isn't your normal jazz outing, But there's nothing to fear. What we have here is simply gorgeous, original, nearly a-referential, modern music. Not to be missed.

For all its wide stylistic span and just plain good listening, Kronos's Released 1985-1995 is problematic in that it doesn't acknowledge the group's decade-long pre-Nonesuch history with so much as a footnote. That aside, Released, which celebrates the first ten years of the group's association with Nonesuch, is like a great mix tape, stringing pop-song-length selections from 11 albums to wonderful effect. It opens with a joyous Zimbabwean cross-cultural composition; segues into a brief tango by Astor Piazzolla; and goes on to comprise classic minimalism (Steve Reich, Terry Reilly, Philip Glass), a broader palette of 20th-century classical (Samuel Barber, Henryk Gorecki, George Crumb, Arvo Part), and work truly unique to the Kronos repertoire (Ben Johnston's arrangement of "Amazing Grace"). A second CD includes a live recording of Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze," a catchy rendering of a wacky Raymond Scott hodgepodge, a novelty homage to Elvis Presley, and a selection from Scott Johnson's extraordinary musical setting of readings by historian I.F. Stone. A great starter kit for Kronos newcomers. --Marc Weidenbaum

Customer Reviews:

It's not what it appears to be.......2006-07-17

A sampler should be priced at sampler prices to get you to sample the label or artist, usually around $10. On this set, the first CD is 77 min. but the second is only 23 and mostly worthless, except for the Hendrix piece (Purple Haze) which they claim is unreleased though it appears in nearly identical form on the "Sculthorpe, Sallinen, Glass..." album, released 5 years before this one. The first CD is excellent, however, and merits a $2 marketplace purchase.

I never knew classical could sound like this.......2005-06-22

I bought this CD with no knowledge of what Kronos Quartet was all about. I don't have a sophisticated taste in classical music, with my preferences running more to Copeland, Dvorak, Handel, Barber, and Holst.....accessible music for many people. I bought this to expose myself to a different approach to classical music and for the most part have loved the ride. The track America-Before the War alone is worth the price of the CD....its meditation on a society just emerging with optimism from economic stagnation but simultaneously rushing into war is incredibly powerful.

There are obviously many old favorites like Amazing Grace, Barber's Adagio, and a classic rendition of Jimmy Hendrix. When you listen, though, you will appreciate the diversity of classical music....there's so much more to the catalog than most writers Top Fifty lists.

a necessary, and excellent, sampler.......2000-10-09

I've been aware of the Kronos Quartet since WHITE MAN SLEEPS, but never took the plunge until now. What to do, when they've "released" so many records in the meantime? This sampler is the (near) perfect answer. It contains selections from 10 different albums. This serves both to give a sense of the breadth of the group's work (as well as the breadth of 20th century composition!), and also the flavor of some of their records if you decide to hear more. It is astounding music --RELEASED works as a unified whole, with two exceptions in my opinion, and those are the excerpts from the Reich and Glass albums. I don't like Glass at all, and the Reich piece is underwhelming, so I simply edit those selections out. Most of the other tracks are nothing less than stellar: Johnston, Gorecki, Riley, Crumb, Part, Tahmizyan, and Barber. The second disc ("Unreleased") is where my more serious dissatisfaction lies, and hence only 4 stars. You pay a 2-disc price, but this is not a full disc of music, and only 2 of the 4 selections really bear repeated listening. The Johnson track with sampled vocals by the great critic of U.S. imperialism I.F. Stone is fantastic (in a very '80s style), but the last two pieces are more novelty numbers. With all the material available, the second disc could easily contain many more cuts from the voluminous Kronos catalog. But with that caveat, I recommend this record. It sounds great in its own right, and it works quite well as a sampler.

(Since I wrote the original review I've added BLACK ANGELS, NIGHT PRAYERS, and SHORT STORIES to my collection, and all are superb -- see my reviews of all three, and my "Kronos, Reviewed and Unreviewed" list -- 9/5/04.)

Dee's Best CD Ever.......2003-11-06

This is not a single, it's a full CD of live performances of some of Dee's best songs. These acoustic versions are the true Dee Carstensen. She has one of the most powerful voices you'll ever hear, her harp is unique & amazing, her back up musicians are the best, and there's a duet on here that's out of this world. A live audience must give her energy, because the power of this CD is 10 times as strong as the other albums recorded in the studio. If you can't see Dee live, this is the next best thing.

Simply amazing..........2001-02-15

I first heard Dee at the Fez in NYC during the recording of this CD... the most beautiful voice I've ever had the pleasure to experience... she's one of new york's best kept secrets

Why?.......2000-08-13

Why Dee is not a superstar is beyond me !! She has been a hidden treasure for 20 years. I remember my father comimg home one day after hearing her play in Rochester, NY and the only thing he could say was that he met someone who sang like an Angel. If you don't belive me....listen

The First Zappa Tribute.......2007-01-15

This must be the first Zappa Tribute of Meridian Arts Ensemble. I'm guessing from release date and I think it's most enjoyable one among all four Zappa Tributes. Start with "Big Swiftly" and has smooth transaction until "Dupree's Paradise". I love it.Meridian Arts Ensemble is brass Ensemble.every time listen to them I get picture of the battle that brass against strings like CD art of Grand Wazoo in my head.
well I went crazy.

New Orleans Bounce.......2006-02-02

That D.J. Jimi is a classic, brings back to my High School days. I remember when it used to come on FM 98.5 and Q-93. I might buy the CD for old times sake.

Dirty South Thesis.......2005-11-13

The production of this album could have been better, but for that time, it was enough for the club scene. The content, however, would only prove to be trend-setting and ahead of its time. The lyrical style was old school-basic, but lyrics were favored by rappers like Master P, Lil' Jon, and the Ying Yang Twinz (just to name a few). I actually bought this album on cassette twice and once on CD, either of which I still have, and miss dearly. I'm struggling with parting from $40 for this damn CD, but for $30, I'll do it in a heartbeat. For the memories, this CD gets 4.5 stars.

So so.......2005-08-15

This cd has 4 good tracks. If you remember this stuff when it came out in the early 90's then maybe you'll still love em. If however you've never heard this stuff before you'll probably just think of this as ok but nothing special.

Musicwise these are slow bass beats with simple, catchy, vulgar chants. Several tracks use the 808 break from 1985's 'Drag Rap'. DJ Jimi's voice is gravelly and it's why these simple chants are effective.

classic dirty south jams.......2003-01-01

I love this cd very classic bass, dirty mouthes, classic booty anthems you can't miss here.

great dance music.......2001-06-09

I LIKE THIS ALBUM BECAUSE ITS NOT REALLY RAP. IT'S TALKING ABOUT LIFE IN NEW ORLEANS. IT'S MUSIC YOU CAN DANCE TO.
