Straight Life

Straight Life Review



As Art Pepper readied himself to die--or further pushed himself toward the brink of death--he seemed determined to say everything possible, quickly and forthrightly. In doing so, he created an explosive ream of albums for the Galaxy Records label, most of them featuring Pepper with only the slender backing of a piano-bass-drums setup. He was all over the sessions, picking ripe old tunes and letting fly on them, spinning his silken lines into adventurous nuggets that curbed and then redirected his playing. On Straight Life and on several of the Galaxy sessions (collected in their blessed entirety on the 16-CD The Complete Galaxy Recordings), he has the rhythmic backing of Billy Higgins on drums. Like Pepper, Higgins can whisper his parts and then shout them out with clapping power. These are all tunes Pepper fans will know but they're tremendously fresh, as is their interpreter--who would die less than three years later. --Andrew Bartlett

Red Hot Chili Peppers: Live from Readingfest

Red Hot Chili Peppers: Live from Readingfest Review



According to Woody Allen, it's all about love and death. Anthony Kiedis, Dave Navarro, Michael Peter "Flea" Balzary, and Chad Smith throw in some romance, drugs, loneliness, globalization, the cons of fame and Hollywood, poverty, alcohol, and dealing with death--all in one 60-minute set live from the Reading Festival.

"Creating an intoxicating new musical style by combining funk and punk rock together (with an explosive stage show, to boot), the Chili Peppers spawned a slew of imitators in their wake but still managed to be the leaders of the pack by the dawn of the 21st century." -- All Music Guide

Sgt. Pepper Live

Sgt. Pepper Live Review



American pop group Cheap Trick, in a reprisal of their widely successful sold-out concerts, salute the 40th anniversary of the Beatles' seminal Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album with a dynamic track-by-track rendition that features the New York Philharmonic orchestra, an Indian music ensemble and an array of very special guests. At the helm is none other than the legendary Geoff Emerick, who engineered the Fab Four's definitive album in 1967, and brings an exciting authenticity to the celebration. Cheap Trick genuinely infuse their brand of Beatlesque power pop into a live tribute that pays homage to their musical influences, by capturing the essence of an album that changed music history.
