Customer Reviews:
Po'Jazz is a Sound Investment.......2002-03-26
"Takin' it to the Hollow" is an hour well spent. Any fan of the spoken word and good solid small combo jazz needs to brew up a strong pot of black coffee, slip this in the CD player and laugh, tremble, toe-tap and gasp along with the fortunate audience who were present for these recordings. This is the next best thing to a live Po' Jazz happening and the great thing about it is you can replay it over and over.
Track 2, "Building Nicole's Mama" is set to a hypnotic hard bop undercurrent that bursts from its rhythmic confines at key points in a harrowing narrative, harrowing because it is read with unapologetic verve in spite of its tragic irony: children can know death without sentiment. Patricia Smith puts us in the classroom with children who have been baptized into the brutality of urban violence. The children's grim housing project reality (ýthey have seen the reaper/ grim in his heavy robe/ pushing the button for the dead project elevatorý) is juxtaposed with an homage to the power of language to rescue us from apathy, "So let us bless the sixth grade class/ forty cracking voices, forty nappy heads/ and all of them raise their hands when I aský.forty fists punch the airýme! me!".
Track 4, "Prologue", a solo piece on clarinet by J.D. Parran, is a pensive respite from words, affording the listener a rest just long enough to absorb the first two spoken pieces. The appetite is whetted. The subsequent "You" joins flute and violin in a soothing melody that ends too soon. By now the listener is hungry.
Track 7 demonstrates the sonic link between poetry and jazz and is proof enough that Po'Jazz-style performances should be the norm, not the exception. Poetry is about sound and meaning, and the content of "Of the First Born", a poignant slice of conversation between mother and daughter, is lent depth and power by the "talking" bass behind it. We donýt just hear about the conversation, we hear it as it occurs.
On track 8, the breathless reading of "Dona Luna" by Rigorberto Gonzalez is outpaced only by the tropical pulse of rich percussion beside it.
The pulse-quickening effect of percussion hits a crescendo with Golda Solomon and Bernard Purdie's collaboration on Track 10's "Sex Fugue", an elegy to jazz, its erotic referent, and the sexiness of syncopation, all in forty-six seconds of breathy anticipation. You'll want a cigarette after this piece, and that's what the Po'Jazz combo's "Cantaloupe Island" feels like, a toe-tapping trip to a nicotine fix. This is another piece that's too short.
Stephen D. Coleman's "Bodacious Cowgirls" is a fun tribute to the fair sex, and it elicits audible laughs from the live audience, reminding us mid-CD that these recordings do indeed happen in a room full of human beings, whose guffaws and giggles future recordings might more consciously and conspicuously include. It's the interaction between performers and audience that makes these events lively and inviting and unique, especially in the sad silence of cyber-places like Amazon.com. After all, Bill Evans' "Live at the Village Vanguard" is more endearing, not less so, for all the tinkling glasses, low murmurs and scattered applause captured on tape.
A version of Sonny Rollins' "Pent-Up House" really cooks, thanks to Gary Smulyan's confident sax work and Debbie Kennedy's exuberant bass.
One of my favorite moments in this collection is Anthony Costantini's reading of his poem "Bluebird". The very, very young sounding Costantini brings the whole show down to flat earth and sweeps away any suspicion of pretense with a simple, not simplistic, short poem that takes us all back to why we dug poetry on day one.
Track 21, Barry Wallenstein's "Fancy" is the track to listen to first if youýre stuck in the whole "I've seen Beatniks on TV" vision of jazz-poetry fusion. Get it out of your system with this piece and before you get through the first stanza you'll stop snapping your fingers like an idiot and realize Wallenstein is riffing with words. You'll be listening hard. There's something very cool happening here that's older than clichés. This is ancient Greek, not Hollywood Beat.
"Happy Birthday, Louis Armstrong" is a beautiful spoken-sung Satchmo salad. If you have to aský
But my favorite piece has to be Golda Solomon's "So What", an asphalt corner-court basketball poem overlayed with stage scenes of Miles and his Quartet at the Vanguard. The poem digs into Miles' angry cool; the tense grace of playground ball; the very audacity of the words "so what"; the trash-talkin' bravado of jazz and poetry. They all become one big athletic slam dunk, thanks to the fearless vocal jukes and shimmies of Golda Solomon and the smoky, funky grooves laid down by Bernard Purdie, Joe Exley and Tom Aalfs. This track needs to by played to poetry students in high schools and colleges, and it's worth the price of the CD all by itself.
Do yourself a favor and order this CD now. If CD's aged like old LP's used to, this would be cracking, hissing and popping in just a couple weeks. If you like jazz or poetry at all, you'll wear it out.

Rozhdestvensky's excellent Shostakovich cycle.......2007-03-15
Gennadi Rozhdestvensky's Shostakovich symphony cycle from the 1980s is, in my view, one of the three best cycles. These three are, in my preference order:
1. Kondrashin (originally Melodiya, now Russiandvd - a new remaster, available from Amazon sellers and at Ebay).
2. Rozhdestvensky (originally Melodiya, but it exists now also in a new Russian remaster from the VENEZIA label, in a fine slimline box which you can find at HMV's internet shop in Japan or at Ebay).
3. Barshai (originally Regis, now in a Brilliant Classics box.)
The standard bargain choice is the Barshai box, which boasts very fine playing and fine sound. Kondrashin, my first choice, is quite expensive. But the Rozhdestvensky set should not be overlooked. First, the interpretations are both illuminating and moving, carefully structured and (mostly) beautifully played by a real Russian orchestra in fine form. Second, the new remaster - available at Ebay and at HMV in Japan - is a real bargain. You may grab it for $ 30 or less. Third, the remastered sound is mostly OK, even if Melodiya's original recordings are a bit harsh. However, this is a minor complaint. Kondrashin's set has much worse sound and costs more money. But in both cases, we have excellent, classical, powerful interpretations that hardly can be surpassed.
Shostakovich collectors need all cycles above, of course. But I warmly recommend a serious search for Gennadi Rozhdestvensky's excellent cycle in its new incarnation.
A collection that fills an important gap.......2000-06-27
This collection comes in a box with seven double-discs, each with a booklet describing the work and about the conductor's relationship with the composer and his work by Sigrid Neef. No librettos are enclosed, which does hamper the full appreciation, although fans are likely to have copies of a few of these works lying about. Although all of these recordings have appeared in other guises and formats, this remarkable collection is worthy of consideration. Rozhdestvensky had an interesting relationship with the composer, although never given the opportunity to premier his major symphonic works, the conductor was of critical importance in reviving the "lost" or "unknown" Shostakovich. Rozhdestvensky's excavation into the composer's past resulted in premiering or reviving a vast body of work. An example of this is displayed on, although not limited to, the "Orchestral Works." This conductors travails through the complete symphonies are not likely to be first choice for many, however, this collection does offer a chance to hear a 1980's Soviet run through of one of the most important symphonic cycles of the 20th century.
