The second full-length by Norwegian jazz enfant terribles Jaga Jazzist proves to even the most ardently pigheaded that their debut, A Livingroom Hush, was no fluke. (Jazz "purists" -- as if jazz were a "pure" music -- will even have to take note on compositional, swing, & improvisational levels but will no doubt, like any music fascist, dismiss this as somehow inauthentic because of the presence of electronics.) The Stix ups the ante a notch & foregoes much of the restraint displayed on the ...

Ninth album from the cult Mancunian indie rockers follows their 2007 reformation & is their first new studio release since 2001's ' Pleased To Meet You'. The album was produced by Lee " Muddy" Baker (Chungking, Mo Solid Gold, James's Tim Booth) & recorded at Warsy Chateau in northern France, where Baker allowed the band to jam & improvise at will. The result is a set of coruscating pop-rock featuring Booth's trademark erudite lyrics that is already being hailed as the best thing they have do ...

Personnel: James Blunt (12-string guitar); Malcolm Moore (acoustic guitar); Ben Castle (12-string guitar); Suzie Katayama (strings); Mr. Nau (piano); Paul Beard (Hammond b-3 organ); Karl Brazil (drums).

Blunt's sophomore effort, ALL THE LOST SOULS, doesn't find him branching out exactly, but rather ref ...

James - Best Of

JAMES: THE BEST OF is an excellent sampling of the late output of the band that was almost too happy for Manchester. Culled mostly from James's albums from the 1990s, the 18 songs here include the smash hit "Laid, and several other UK hits that were US sleepers, including Come Home, Sit Down, She's a Star, and others. Sadly, JAMES: THE BEST OF provides only one example of the band's earlier work on Factory Records. Nevertheless, the compilation attests to the wonderful pop sensibility tha
