Buena Vista Social Club
: essential recording:Ry Cooder's name has helped bring attention to this session, but it's the veteran Cuban son musicians who make this album really special. Reminiscent of Ellington in its scope and sense of hushed romanticism, Buena Vista Social Club is that rare meld of quietude and intensity; while the players sound laid-back, they're putting forth very alive music, a reminder that aging doesn't mean taking to bed. Barbarito Torres's laoud solo on 'El Cuarto de Tula' is both more blinding and more tasteful than ...

Bob Marley and the Wailers Live at the Rainbow
: :On June 2, 1977, London's Rainbow Theatre 'caught fire'--in the best possible way, of course. At the time, Bob Marley and the Wailers, already huge in the UK, were on tour in support of the locally produced Exodus. While the show starts off with the slow-burning 'Trenchtown Rock' (1973's African Herbsman), Marley's performance grows increasingly incendiary until, by the time they get to the climactic closer, 'Exodus,' it looks as he's in another world entirely. The turning point is an extended version of 'Crazy Baldhead' ...

A&M. 2004. :It's hardly a stretch to say that Antonio Carlos Jobim--the wonderful Brazilian composer almost single-handedly responsible for all things bossa nova--influenced some of past half century's best and most insipid musics, from bossa nova jazz to elevator Muzak. Wave, a collection of 1967 dates featuring keyboardist Jobim backed by an extensive orchestra, straddles that line: it's full of amazing original compositions, but the arrangements have ...
