Plays The Cole Porter Songbook

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > En français
by: Oscar Peterson

January 01, 1990
This re-release by Verve preserves, in my opinion, one of the best trio performances. 'In the Still of the Night',
Peterson's subtle single melody nuances and left hand chords are complimented by Ray Brown's wonderful bass. Ed Thigpen maintains the tempo with his stylish brush technique. The rest of the CD is hampered only slightly by the 'volme' inconsistencies from one number to the next, created by the studio. This is a great CD.

Night Train (Restored/Rm)

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > En français
by: Oscar Peterson

September 16, 1997
Well, this is it! If I could only have ONE of the dozens of Oscar Peterson CDs to play on the proverbial desert island, THIS would be the one! Recorded in 1962.....post-Herb Ellis (guitar) era; Ed Thigpen (drum) era. So much pleasure, of course, to be heard from BOTH eras!....but this one tops 'em all for me. THE definitive versions (by any swinger!) of Georgia on My Mind, Moten Swing, Easy Does It, Things Ain't What They Used to Be, I Got It Bad (and That Ain't Good), and two I wasn't familiar with which I fell in love with: Band Call, and Hymn to Freedom. The chordal progressions alone are ear candy, and if your heart doesn't respond, call 911 ASAP!

Carol Welsman (2 Bonus Tracks)

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > En français
by: Carol Welsman

August 01, 2008
I happened upon this artist watching a documentary on CBC and had to learn more. I've since ordered several CDs and really enjoy her smooth jazzy vocals. It's a great CD for easy listening and wonderful for dinner and cocktail parties, sleak, sophisticated and classy. A must for jazz and non-jazz enthusiasts.

Born Into Trouble As The Spark

by: The Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band

November 26, 2007
...but also expanding the sound. back in 2000, former Godspeed you! Black emperor members formed a side-project band called "A silver mount zion"... or "the silver mt. zion memorial orchestra and the tral-la-la band"... or "the silver mt. zion reveries". phew! a year after their incredible debut "He has left us but shafts of light sometimes grace the corner of our rooms", they release their next release, "Born into trouble as sparks fly upward". increasing the number of bands, and more long running song most reaching ten minutes.

the album gives a great artwork in the paper CD case, and also some disturbing notes. the album starts out with "Sisters! brothers! small boats of fire ... Read More:
