Heard from Rolling StoneSite: RollingStone.com: Music News Heard from NPRSite: NPR Topics: Music Hentoff was 11 years old, strolling along a street in Boston, when he heard jazz clarinetist Artie Shaw's famous composition"Nightmare" through the open door of a record store. Hentoff was hooked. He has spent roughly six decades covering the world of jazz, and he's collected his thoughts and memories in a new book, At the Jazz Band Ball: Sixty Years on the Jazz Scene.

Monday is Labor Day, which means it's a good time to turn to the hardest-working man in the annoying-music business: Jim Nayder, a man with whom every conversation is a labor of love.

The album was recorded both at home and at the legendary Muscle Shoals in Alabama, which might help explain its soulful feel. Maura Johnston and Jay Smooth talk about the heavy coat of gloss on the music at the top of the charts, and how pop got so shiny. It's no secret that brains and hearts speak vastly different languages, but British singer Ed Harcourt is conversant in both. "Haywired," from his stellar new album Lustre, finds him sounding perfectly suited to the swooning, swooping sound of falling in love. A Blog Supreme is on vacation. Until we return, we are periodically leaving you with some shots from The NPR Jazz Photography Pool on Flickr. Here, Bruce C. Moore writes about capturing the great Seattle saxophonist on film last year. As he struggles with jealousy and poverty in this powerful tragedy, the psychologically disturbed title character endures ridicule from his superiors and undergoes bizarre medical experiments. Iyer's resume includes pianist, composer, bandleader, writer and Ph.D. candidate in physics. In this session, he performs Geri Allen's "I'm All Smiles," and duets with guest host Arturo O'Farrill for the bluesy Iyer original "Abundance." Though they work as a traditional African-American string band, Carolina Chocolate Drops' members throw in some modern twists. The Durham, N.C.-based trio plays a wide variety of instruments, including the banjo, fiddle, jug, bones and harmonica. All of those sounds are featured on the band's newest record, Genuine Negro Jig. In 1988, the legendary flatpicker and singer of traditional folk tunes spoke to Terry Gross about starting his musical career, touring with his son Merle and playing banjo during the folk revival of the late 1950s and '60s.

 Amazon Price: $9.99 Customer Review: This is a great album---don't buy a few songs and think you've got it. Like Green Day, you need the entire album. Unlike most new albums, multiple singers, multiple sounds,something new every time you listen. Almost like an old Beatles album with everybody doing more than expected. Don't miss this one, it is more than it seems, much more.  Amazon Price: $10.00 Customer Review: I've listened to it for a couple of weeks before reviewing. I like this album, but it's not as interesting to me as "Gossip In The Grain", which I think is his best so far. There's not as much variety as on "Gossip". Another reviewer said that, unlike this album, "Trouble" didn't have much diversity. But my thought before reading the reviews was that this album was pretty similar to "Trouble", though with a lot more fire. For a few days, the 2nd track -- "New York City's Killing Me" -- acted as somewhat of a roadblock. I'd start listening to the CD, which begins with the excellent, aggressive "Repo Man", and get to the 2nd track and just turn it off. Ev...  Amazon Price: $12.99 Customer Review: This CD is awesome. ET, Last Friday Night, Peacock, and Teenage Dream are my favorites. I can't wait to blast it in my car when I go out tomorrow night!!!! KH  Amazon Price: $9.99 Customer Review: I really think George Gershwin would have been chuffed to hear this recording. In many ways the music of Gershwin and Wilson have similar sounds and themes. Brian Wilson's renditions of traditional Gershwin songs is true, but with a Wilson edge which makes the song his own. I love listening to this CD. The Gershwin's wrote a lot of wonderful music, so maybe Brian Wilson will record some more, and while he's at it, Cole Porter. Irving Berlin, Harold Arlen and Co were pretty fantasic too.  Amazon Price: $12.00 Customer Review: John Mellencamp has found a new voice with this CD. Recorded in some classic rooms with T-Bone Burnett producing, this is a real gem. If you are looking for Hurts So Good and other teen rockers, pass this by. If you are looking for smart and mature songs, delivered by a gritty voiced and aging singer backed by a top flight small band.... this is for you. There are some sad songs here (and many touches of hope, irony, and humor) and they are sung with a authenticity and strength that is marvelous. All in all, it is a great collection of songs.  Amazon Price: $7.99 Customer Review: I was really looking forward to this after seeing Heart play a fantastic show last week,which included a few of the new songs. I like the CD, but it is very short. It's only 37 minutes long, and two of the songs are on the WTF +4 EP they released earlier this spring, so there's only 30 minutes of new music. Apparently there's a version of the CD exclusively at Target that has two extra songs, but I preordered it from Amazon since Heart had a big link on their website for that. Who would've thought that there would be a "better" version of the CD available somewhere else. Anyway, I would give it 4 stars based on the quality of the music, but it loses a star for being so short.  Amazon Price: $9.99 Customer Review: I first heard some of Disturbed's stuff on the radio, and I LOVED it. I had big expectations for their latest album, but I wasn't as impressed as I could have been. It's not that I didn't like any of the music on this album. Trust me, it's good. But it didn't meet my expectations. I give this album 4/5 because it's a great addition to Disturbed, but it didn't quite catch me the way Indestructible did.  Amazon Price: $9.99 Customer Review: I was so pleased to receive this item at warp speed, and it's perfect! A+ Totally happy. Foundling Amazon Price: $9.99 Customer Review: Before people jump all over me, I'm a BIG David Gray fan. I have all the albums and have seen him live. 'Even have a DVD and some live shows. He is awesome! One of the best songwriters around today. However, this album really just hasn't been a hit with me. I like the fact that it's more toned down and intimate than Draw the Line; but the lyrics, which is what I really appreciate from Gray, read like an inside story that doesn't make sense to anyone but the teller. The melodies aren't as great. My one favorite song, unfortunately, is "Indeed I Will." And I say "unfortunately" because I already received the song months ago as a free promo off of David's website.

Gerber Amazon Price: $11.99 Customer Review: This book is considered by many to be one of the must reads for small businesses. It tries to drive home the point that a business that will provide the owner some freedom to live outside of the business must have some systems in place to accomplish this. I agree with the need to provide consistent service and the need to have rules in place to provide freedom. I do not like the writing style that is condescending as he looks down on us lowly business owners from the heights of his noble mountain of knowledge.  by Roger Kamien Amazon Price: $91.56 Customer Review: I received this book in good condition and on time i would defiantly buy from this seller again :D  by Paulo Freire Amazon Price: $13.46 Customer Review: Book came very quickly, which was great since I needed it for a class.

This book emphasizes the fundamentals of music in a very orderly manner. Great book for a beginning music theory class.  by Dave Mustaine, Joe Layden Amazon Price: $15.20 Customer Review: Mustaine's autobiography comes across pretty much as I expected it would. Meaning, I've read other musicians' bios (Anthony Kiedis, Lemmy, Anvil, etc) so the behind-the-scenes depravity of fist-fights, drinking, drug abuse, career lapses, etc is not so much a surprise as it is an interesting "fill in the gaps" tale for those of us already well versed in the "official" Deth story. Having said that, there are some events that seem to be ommitted (?) from the book, and I'm not sure if this was on purpose or otherwise. For example: - Metallica's use of Mustaine's music was an obvious sticking point for him over the years, so his discussion of the "Kill 'em All" material is unsurpris...  by Stefan Kostka, Dorothy Payne Amazon Price: $52.99 Customer Review: Definitely the cheapest version of this text that can be found.

Like many people, I just skimmed it and now I regret the decision so I decided to try it again. This is a fantastic edition. First, to hear about slavery in America from a former slave's own words is powerful. Many times we just hear slavery was horrible and that's it. This narrative makes it personal. You see an individual and what has happened in his personal life and that always makes it more real. Secondly, the reason why this edition is so fantastic, is the footnotes that it provides. It tells you who the people in the narrative are and even points out mistakes that Douglas made which makes it more authentic for me. I literall...  by J.

The cover flap at the bottom was just slightly bent, but not ripped or ruined  by Marcus Buckingham, Curt Coffman Amazon Price: $19.80 Customer Review: Core idea: The best managers reject conventional wisdom and still keep talented employees. In 25 years, the Gallup Organization interviewed over 80,000 managers from different companies. This huge research project grew from two basic questions: 1) What do the most talented, productive employees need from the workplace? 2) How do you attract, find, focus, and keep talented employees? Good managers recognize employees as they are - as individuals. They do not treat everyone the same. They also don't try to "fix" people and their weaknesses.

Amazon Price: $15.99 Customer Review: His enthusiasm is infectious and seeing Springsteen live is an experience. This DVD captures him at age 60 doing what most people half his age couldn't. Some of the songs gave me goose bumps. A great follow up to his Live DVD in Barcelona.  Amazon Price: $18.99 Customer Review: I don't like Megadeth, know only one song (Highway to hell), I never saw them live and I have no album, no dvd. But this a great Concert Blueray. I did not see it, but I give 5 stars! Agree?  Amazon Price: $20.99 Customer Review: His enthusiasm is infectious and seeing Springsteen live is an experience. This DVD captures him at age 60 doing what most people half his age couldn't. Some of the songs gave me goose bumps. A great follow up to his Live DVD in Barcelona.  Amazon Price: $15.49 Customer Review: First, a confession. I am not, nor have ever been, a die hard Jane's Addiction fan. The closest I might have ever come is commandeering my brother's cassette tape of Ritual de lo Habitual (RDLH) back in the early 90's. Aside from stopping to surf the radio dial over the years whenever "Been Caught Stealing" was playing, my music of choice over the last decade has largely been Zepp, Rush, various types of reggae and even some fusion. Not too long ago, I had the sudden craving for RDLH and so purchased a copy on iTunes. Not long after, I found myself listening to "Three Days" and "Then She did" over and over while working out at the gym. Without exaggerating, I have probably heard those ...  Amazon Price: $10.99 Customer Review: This is a so-so DVD. There are about four or five songs that sound good. Chicago without Cetera is less than enjoyable.  Amazon Price: $23.99 Customer Review: A friend of mine told me about Joe Bonamassa and how good this concert was. Since I had never heard of him before, I wasn't expecting alot. But this guy is terrific. After watching this concert DVD I immediately went on iTunes and stared buying songs. If you appreciate good guitar work, rock and blues, this is the concert for you. The only negative is the sound is OK at best. I have a really nice home theater with 5.1 surround sound. No matter what setting I used, the sound was OK at best. When I compare this to several Clapton DVDs I have or the Eagles Farwell Tour 1, the sound is dissapointing. But, its not terrible. And the songs and performance are outstanding. This is definitely worth o...  Amazon Price: $10.49 Customer Review: This was a great concert. Michael was at his best. I would recommend it.

Amazon Price: $11.99 Customer Review: This is a great DVD. John can go rambling on and on sometimes when he speaks but all you have to do is enjoy the "magic" he brings to his guitar.  Amazon Price: $13.49 Customer Review: I don't like Megadeth, know only one song (Highway to hell), I never saw them live and I have no album, no dvd. But this a great Concert Blueray. I did not see it, but I give 5 stars! Agree?  Amazon Price: $9.99 Customer Review: I love listening to this CD. It is full of comfort music. The whole CD oozes "I am okay, you're okay" and "neither of us is perfect, let's see what we can do to get through the day"-music. I have taken it on several road trips now and it makes me relax and not sweat the small stuff. Neither music, voices or lyrics are not particularly groundbreaking, but as a package is it just solid. And as a result you can listen to it over and over again. It is like a warm blanket, or listening to a good friend. More matter of fact, the CD is modern country, from slow songs like American Honey to strong up tempo arrangements like Hello World. Charles Kelley's voice complements the Lady A's music and Hilla...  Amazon Price: $10.00 Customer Review: First, I have to say that I absolutely loved "A Place to Land". It's one of my favorite albums of the past 5 years. Unfortunately, for me, "The Reason Why" does not even get close to the level that Little Big Town reached on their previous album. For me, none of the songs have the poignancy that they exhibited on earlier albums. The best of the lot in my opinion are "You Can't Have Everything" (which really spotlights the harmonies that I love so much), "All Over Again", and "Life Rolls On". While it's not a bad album by any stretch, their previous work has set the bar very high for me and this album just didn't get there.  Amazon Price: $10.00 Customer Review: this album fully exceeded any expectations i might have had for a third album. i got a small sample of his new material when i saw him in concert. this album flows a lot better than his second album (which is also an awesome album). the lyrics on this album are great and provide a great visual for the listener. nothing but 5 stars for this album.

It sounds silly but I play it in my head when I'm not listening to it on my player. Lifst my mood and makes for a happy day. Love Zac Brown Band.  Amazon Price: $9.99  Amazon Price: $9.00  Amazon Price: $6.00 Customer Review: After tiring of the current crop of country female vocalists all sounding like Martina McBride retreads, I had just about given up on new singers. On a whim, I bought this CD, expecting disappointment like always but willing to listen with an open mind. Well, now I'm a believer. Miranda Lambert's sound is not out of the Nashville "cookie cutter" machine. Her songs have more of a traditional structure and her phrasing and presentation are refreshing. Not since the Dixie Chicks first couple of albums have I heard a female vocalist in the country genre step out of the herd. I was impressed enough to buy her two previous recordings, both of which confirm my first impression. ...  Amazon Price: $11.99  Amazon Price: $11.99 |
