The Rat Pack's Las Vegas

The Rat Pack's Las Vegas Review



Join Frank, Dino, Sammy, Joey and Peter in the "Rat Pack's Las Vegas." This unique program traces the history of the Rat Pack, beginning with Frank Sinatra's solo stint as a Vegas headliner when his movie and recording careers crumbled, to his famous "summits" with the rest of the pack at the fabled Sands "A Place in the Sun" Hotel, to the triumphant on-location filming of the Pack's "Ocean's 11" (which showcased as many stars as could make it to Vegas during the filming). The program features rare footage of the Pack in action at the Sands' Copa Room as well as rare stills of John F. Kennedy and other Kennedy Era luminaries. The program also offers frank discussions of the racism that dominated Las Vegas in the 1950's - and Frank Sinatra's heroic efforts to end it for his good friend Sammy Davis Jr. From the birth of the Sands to its razing to make way for today's fabulous Venetian Resort Hotel, the "Rat Pack's Las Vegas" showcases the men and times that buils the myth - and mystique - of America's No. 1 tourist destination.

Country Grammar

Country Grammar Review



With the No Limit and Cash Money crews having permanently seared the once-ignored Deep South into the hip-hop map, Nelly arrives to make a mark for the heretofore uncelebrated St. Louis scene. After outlining the rules of the game from lifestyle (gats, grass, and sex) to wardrobe (he cuffs his jeans like Beaver Cleaver), the rapper offers scenario after scenario depicting the gangsta world as one big party; he and his crew seem much more interested in fellatio than shootouts. The title single, which preceded this CD's release by months, is the clear standout with its low-rider groove, but the midtempo R&B-flavored flows of "Utha Side," "Greed, Hate & Envy," and "Steal Da Show" are also seductive. --Rickey Wright

Liquor in the Front

Liquor in the Front Review



Industrial rockabilly anyone? From the galloping instrumental opener "Big Sky" to boozy, hard luck parables like "Baddest of the Bad" and "Liquor, Beer and Wine," this is greasy, blues-based roots music that rocks amazingly hard. Credit for the ear-clobbering sound goes to producer Al Jourgensen of Ministry fame. --Jeff Bateman

The Limited Series

The Limited Series Review



Six disc boxset (five CD and one DVD) showcasing the remarkable talent of the fastest-selling solo artist in Country music history. Garth Brooks has sold in excess of 100 million albums in just 10 years, now topping 116 million. His body of work propelled Country Music as a genre to the front pages of newspapers worldwide and the covers of magazines, to the point where Forbes declared on its cover, "Country Conquers Rock," and featured Garth in a major music piece. And, he accomplished it without ever releasing a song to Pop radio. The key to his record-setting success lies within the personality and talent of Garth Brooks. It has been said that through the 1990s, Garth's only real competition was himself. He brought daring individualism and a love of music, ranging from working class blues and honky tonk to bluegrass and arena rock, to the musical table. BMG. 2006

Nat King Cole - The Incomparable Nat King Cole, Vols. 1 & 2

Nat King Cole - The Incomparable Nat King Cole, Vols. 1 & 2 Review



Forty-seven complete songs in 100 minutes: at an average of little more than two minutes per tune, the hits come fast and furious in this black-and-white compilation drawn from Nat "King" Cole's 1957 NBC-TV series. That's a good thing, as the buttery-smooth Cole was certainly a distinctive pop vocalist, and the repertoire includes many of his best known numbers: "Unforgettable," "Mona Lisa," "The Christmas Song," and so on. But the best moments here come when he returns to his jazz roots, singing and/or playing (he was a fine pianist) with the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, the Mills Brothers, trumpeter Roy Eldridge, pianist Oscar Peterson, saxophonists Stan Getz and the incomparable Coleman Hawkins, bassist Ray Brown, and others. If tunes like "Stompin' at the Savoy," "It's Only a Paper Moon," and "Sweet Lorraine" don't get you swingin', then you better check your pulse-–to see if you still have one, that is. --Sam Graham

VISTULA RIVER BRASS BAND Entertainer - Polish Jazz vol.51

VISTULA RIVER BRASS BAND Entertainer - Polish Jazz vol.51 Review



The New Orleans Revivals is coming into its own, especially in its now second home - Europe. Based in Poland, the Vistula River Brass Band is the best example of European Dixieland. Among its 9 members there are two car mechanics, a graduate in hydrobiology, a technician mechanic, a teacher and the sociologist. Traditional jazz, the earliest jazz music of the worlds, has been owning its freshness and vitality to amateurs. In the amateur music making in the 20ties emerged the ideal of its tone, and its amateurs that keep it now so much alive.
