Silent Night becomes modal jazz with abstruse harmonies. The 12 Days of Christmas zigzags through a maze of meter shifts and key changes (perhaps The 12 Tones of Christmas?). And Tchaikovskys Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies pings its melody in harmonics from Bila Flecks banjo. Those are just four of the virtuosic transformations Mr. Fleck and his band come up with on an album that applies all sorts of musicianly gamesmanship to Christmas songs (and one Hanukkah tune) that can sometimes take an aural squint to recognize. Bluegrass and jazz are the Flecktones foundations, as can be heard in their nimble version of Sleigh Ride. But the song choices are eclectic  Bach, klezmer, Joni Mitchell , Linus and Lucy from A Charlie Brown Christmas  and the arrangements even more so. Give these musicians a musical parameter and theyll toy with it.

Who can argue with a lineup that includes Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, The Supremes, Smoky Robinson, The Four Tops, The Temptations, and even Rare Earth? There's a great article about Motown, featuring interviews with the stars in one of the newer Vanity Fairs, I just read it last weekend. India Arie - also like Cassy, I love her positive songs and soulful voice. LOVED Suzanne Vega's first couple of records but didn't care as much for the later stuff.

I love the soft jazzy style, bass line and her voice is fabulous, though I think understated in this song. <<>> Is it just me or do Joni covers seem to be improving? I think #107 is one of the better compilations. Rosana Eckert with Terry Haskins, Dave Browne, Okkervil River and Angus Stone are all excellent covers. A thoroughly enjoyable listen... well maybe except for Norman Yemm, I could have lived without that one but then a cover is a cover regardless of quality, some are just stand-outs.

I thought Celine did a great job with that song. I always like the tune anyway. I don't know what the trouble with Celine is esp. with some of the folk on the list. She sings nice and she definitely has chops. Her song choices aren't always my cup of tea, but I have enjoyed hearing her sing. But then again I did appreciate the Carpenters as well in their time. And so the truth be totally out. I like Bread. There is said it. I am out. Oh god I feel free now. Still play several of their tunes on guitar or piano when I am in that nostalgic mood. I do have some very exciting news. Even though I had surgery on Monday and can barely walk. I am going to the House of Blues on Saturday night to see my dear friend Zachary Richard in a songwriters in the round format with JIMMY WEBB, CASSANDRA WILSON, and my pal Allen Toussaint. I am SO excited. I wish you all could be here especially Kakki and Chuck. I spoke with Zack the other day about his new record and in an amazing coincidence, he is recording a track with Celine Dion for the record. They are scheduled to record The Weight for his new record. GET THIS! The producer for that track is supposed to be Larry Klein. This if course is all pending the alignment of the stars and their schedules. It did blow my mind though. I know I have told you all this before but check out Zachary Richards album Caps Enrage, which is in my top 10 albums of all time. He has two more albums since then, all in French, and the new album will be his first in English in a long long time. Due for release before Jazz Fest next year. That's all for now.

If only 1 or 2 would pick up on A Strange Boy, Furry, Refuge...they've all been covered but not nearly enough for me. And you're right about the increase in quality - one factor is that almost everything I'm getting my hands on is new stuff, so the arrangements are more modern, the sound is clear and with so many high-profile Joni covers out there, the bar is pretty high. Plus her catalog continues to be explored, new covers of Cherokee Louise and Two Grey Rooms in the last month as an example. Of course we'll probably never get away from those Top Ten "standards" of hers but it certainly keeps me busy.

B R&b is unfortunately not one of the genre I know well so my observations may be off-target here. However I think that Shemekia Copeland's soulful version of 'Black Crow' is likeable and easy to recommend to people. I like the heft of her voice and the throbbing basslines accompanying her vocals. As far as reverence to Joni's original version, Shemekia paid homage to Joni and also re-inserts her own interpretative style. I don't like slavish versions of covers because it makes me think of the original in my head while I am listening to the version. B I have seen Shemekia's album in used CD bins but have not investigated her work, but maybe I will. I wonder how an artist like Joan as Policewoman would approach a Joni song. I'd like a punk-r&b version of 'Shadows and Light'.

In fact, all of the tunes on Davis' album Nefertiti were written by Wayne Shorter, except Pinochio, which was written by Herbie Hancock. Also of note: not to plug Amazon.com, but for some reason the version that they sell has 2 bonus tracks, one of which, "All I Want", is for me, the best song on the album. ~Dan On Mon, Dec 1, 2008 at 10:29 AM, Jeannie wrote: > I agree with Michael. > > But, this album is best for the listeners who can also take a relaxing back > seat to the music, taking in some deep breaths thus relieving the tensions > of the day, and then focusing and falling into nothing else but the beauty > and power of these exquisite compositions, each piece, so unique. > > Truly, > Jeannie > > > --- On Sun, 11/30/08, Michael Flaherty wrote: > > > From: Michael Flaherty > > Subject: Re: Herbie Hancock Joni tribute cd > > To: "James O.

It is always interesting for me to read who people think got omitted as we show our own subjective takes and tastes. Hail to diversities of all stripes. B The forum thread griped about ignoring the works/albums of artists like Mariah Carey, Bruce Springsteen, Erykah Badu, Leona Lewis, etc. I agree for the most part because with a 5-6 names retro-fitted as nominees in each category, it cannot accommodate all the names people want. But who are the voters in the Grammys? How can the same artists and albums get nominated in all major categories each time? B Paz mentioned liking Celine Dion's voice and I admit that her "At 17" version was very restrained and made me appreciate the song even more through Celine. I forgot to mention that Christina Aguilera also did a very moving version of "I Loves You Porgy" which is a nod to Nina Simone. I thought Xtina did a credible version and for once, the melismatic way of singing that I have come to abhor in recent years, actually worked. Aguilera's use of melisma in "If you can keep me/ I wants to stay here / with you forever..." was most beautiful and all the more riveting for the stark arrangements. B Vince, I enjoyed your take on the Grammy nominees especially in areas that I know little of: rap. Being in a college station certainly opened me up to so many diverse music out there and a lot of styles I probably didn't care about before suddenly made me view/hear them with fresh new ears. Rap is one of them. Country too. Maybe not the contemporary country music that Emmylou Harris admitted in a recent concert as "shocking", but more high country type that Iris DeMent perfects. B I also like Weill a lot although I am really not a fan of Patti LuPone who is listed as one of the singers in Weill's nominated album "The Rise and Fall of Mahagonny". But I am willing to listen to it when I get an opportunity. Glad to see my favorite mezzo nominated yet again this year -- Anne Sofie von Otter. She is amazing but don't just take my word for it. Listen how Elvis Costello rhapsodizes -- yes, rhapsodizes -- about von Otter's performance in Bach's St. MatthC$us Passion. B Anyway, much as I don't believe that winning a Grammy is tantamount to possessing great musical talent, sometimes when the winners were the ones I love or like to win, I'd like to think that the Grammy gets it right on occasion. Otherwise, I remain an ironicallyB cheerful curmudgeon.

You mean, "Baby I'm-a want you?" I didn't see the grammy thing. Saw little clips of it here and there, including one of Celine. I don't mind her sometimes, but it depends on what she's singing. I like that one about love or faith or whatever the hell it is moving mountains. Don't like her when she over-emotes, which is frequent. Prefer her French stuff to English. Don't own any of her albums though. Don't like some of the weird faces she makes when she sings, but the same can be said of a few other singers that I do like. Would rather listen to her than to Mariah if I had to make a choice. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 5 Dec 2008 15:01:11 -0500 From: Vince Subject: Re: Grammy nominations and that Grammy concert - NJC of course you did not google, I expect you to know these things - although you left out the little cinematic fact about where we first saw Bonzo Dog Band singing Death Cab for Cutie... but regardless, the magical mystery tour is still coming to take us away...

Tha Carter III is brilliant although if I were to give a best album of the year to a rap album for 2008 it would be the self titled album by Nas. Although than being great, the concepts in it anticipated by several months the changes we might have race relations wise given the election of Obama - it breaks new social and cultural ground. But Weezy, sweet Lil Wayne - the hype machine will be working on his behalf, no doubt - not only does everyone in rap owe the king of the mixed tapes and rap collaborations a million favors but the entire industry owes Lil Wayne - he proved it is is very possible to give away your music for free all over the place and collaborate with everyone in the business and give that away for free and then give more away for free and then give more away for free after that - and then record a killer album which has been given away in every remix and premix possible but put together on a compact disc that sold millions upon millions of copies in a year when cd sales are dropping by millions upon millions. And he didn't sell out to WalMart or Best Buy to do it - in a very real way he is the epitome of For Free - he gave it all away repeatedly for free and then still had the biggest seller of the year without selling out to a big corporation. Which doesn't mean that the hype machine won't be working in overdrive for Weezy - it will be - but how can anyone not love Lil Wayne - glad you love his work, thanks for backing me up on great music in the rap genre - love ya Cassie, Vince On Fri, Dec 5, 2008 at 2:21 AM, Cassy wrote: > ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vince" > > <<< And here we note that Weezy (aka Lil Wayne) got more nominations than > anyone else: nice the academy recognizes rap 25 years later than the rest of > the world.
