The World’s Rarest Funk 45’s, Vol. 2

Album Description
Some of the best and rarest Funk 45s never to be heard before for the first time on CD! Includes previously unreleased material and extensive liner notes including label scans and rare photos of the bands. As with Volume 1, Jazzman continue to champion the magnificent and near forgotten sounds of America’s finest and funkiest 45 releases. Four decades on, these releases still pack a dancefloor beside any modern music production and more than often eclipse their modern counterparts with the sheer style and soul they exude. As we as listeners propel ourselves further into an ever more uncertain musical future I feel it of unique importance to honor and rejoice the musical wealth of these past recordings. Jazzman. 2007.

Meet You at the Jazz Corner of the World

Amazon.com
Not to be confused with At the Jazz Corner of the World, the Messengers’ 1959 Birdland recording (which featured tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley), Meet was recorded the following year at the band’s favored venue with the still-rawboned tenorist Wayne Shorter joining trumpeter Lee Morgan on an explosive front line. Originally released in separate volumes but here presented as a two-CD set, the album maintains the Messengers’ ties to the underappreciated Mobley via three originals that he never recorded himself. The emphasis is less on catchy tunes than full-bore blowing, with the rhythm section of Bobby Timmons, Jymie Merritt, and the unbeatable Blakey plumbing their bag of hard-bop tricks to push the music through the grooves. –Lloyd Sachs

This World Is Not My Home

Product Description
Coming up among such North Carolina bands as Between the Buried and Me, Beloved, and He Is Legend gave the members of Onward To Olympas an appreciation for an array of genres. Since their formation in 2008, OTO has meticulously cultivated their sound, blending progressive metal, straight hardcore, and elements of death metal. That the band can indulge all their musical proclivities, yet produce such consistent results, while making it seem easy is a testament to their craftsmanship. Says vocalist/guitarist Justin Gage, We like the challenge of including all the genres that we most enjoy without making a song sound like it is being performed by three different bands.

On their new album This World Is Not My Home, recorded with Jamie King (Between the Buried and Me, For Today) Onward To Olympas make sure to bring the intensity, effortlessly melding melodic singing with thick metal-core screams, occasionally bringing a little old school back to the table with crisp gang vocals. The album is polished and impressive, and will be available on Facedown Records January 19, 2010.

Dreams of a World

Amazon.com
This disc is obviously aimed at the world-music audience, if one judges from its title and the subtitle, “Folk-Inspired Music for Guitar.” But that shouldn’t dissuade listeners interested in more serious music. Isbin has collected original pieces and arrangements from Spain, Latin America, Appalachia, Ireland, Israel, and Greece–all of them quite lovely. It’s really amazing to hear, for example, the “Londonderry Air,” better known as “Danny Boy,” in such a sympathetic arrangement by the late Japanese composer Toru Takemitsu. She plays with such technical mastery that you wind up taking it for granted, while appreciating her songful delivery of this highly varied program of music, which was mostly first intended for the human voice. The uncommonly attractive booklet, including photos of Isbin as a world traveler, is another asset to this fine program, as is Teldec’s realistic recorded sound. –Leslie Gerber

The World’s Funnyman

Amazon.com
In his second DVD release (see also Live at Phoenix Greyhound Park), The World’s Funnyman, Neil Hamburger, clearly has a larger following in Australia, where these performances were taped, than he does in America. In Los Angeles, small, dingy nightclubs host Hamburger, the nervous, nerdy comedian who clumsily delivers one-liners about rock musicians ranging from Britney Spears to Madonna to Michael Jackson to Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain. But The World’s Funnyman boasts footage of Hamburger cracking jokes at a huge music festival, and footage of his main act reveals a near-stadium-sized Sydney club packed with fans. This DVD contains two “concerts,” a short, fictionalized performance in which Hamburger takes on a Malaysian crowd, some music video clips, and a Canadian documentary analyzing Hamburger’s genius. Hamburger, part Jerry Lewis, and part Andy Kaufman, has a fiercely commanding stage presence despite his cultivated meek demeanor, making his talent apparent. Sometimes funny, sometimes too weird for words, Neil Hamburger is definitely a character. The World’s Funnyman, released by the eternally cool Drag City, captures his poetic intricacies on film. –Trinie Dalton
