popular music: village     popular music:       Gracias4 reviews Omara Portuondo World Village, 2008 A life in song This CD has the feel of an autobiography. The music, along with photos of Omara at different ages, has the feel of being transported to the times and places in which she lived. There is a sentimental quality to this music but the lyrics and rhythms carry you from place to place so that it never feels saccharine or contrived. It would help if you spoke Spanish, or, if you don't you might be ...             The Village Green Preservation Society81 reviews The Kinks Reprise / Wea, 1990 Wrong track listing I just wanted to mention, if it's helpful, that as of Dec 4 2009, Amazon has the wrong track listing posted for this release. Here is the correct track listing: 1. The Village Green Preservation Society 2. Do You Remember Walter? 3. Picture Book 4. Johnny Thunder 5. Last of the Steam Powered Trains 6. Big Sky 7. Sitting by the Riverside 8. Animal Farm 9. Village Green ...             The Village Sessions68 reviews John Mayer SonyBMG, 2006 Wonderful It is great to be able to hear John Mayer play these acoustic/stripped down versions of some his song. The opener is the well known "Waiting On The World To Change" and is the most non-acoustic song on the record, though you can hear the acoustic. Beginning with "Belief" the record becomes more special as it is John and the acoustic with wonderful versions of the songs. His vocals are well ...             The Complete Village Vanguard Recordings, 196134 reviews Bill Evans Riverside, 2005 Luminous Forget about ratings, forget about hype, this music is the pinnacle and will take you to another planet...we all know about Bill Evans but here is the confirmation that Scott Lafaro's bass solos should be listened to by all mankind for the next hundred years. Listen to, dissected and learned, whatever,... there will never be another trio like this one.             The Village - A Celebration of the Music of Greenwich Village9 reviews Various Artists 429 Records, 2009 Great Compilation! What a great album. It has some of my favorite songs covered by a nice variety of artists. They're all good, but some of the stand outs are Shelby Lynne, John Oates and The Duhks. A great collection to have.             Aman Iman: Water is Life24 reviews Tinariwen World Village USA, 2007 Oasis In The Desert This is very healing and life-affirming music; like water it sustains and soothes. On first listen there is a sameness in all the songs, but the more I listen, the more distinct each track becomes. It is heartening not to know what they are singing about (although English lyrics are printed), and not to care, because the feeling is there. The voices sound like those of survivors, the guitars ...             Pure Disco44 reviews Various Artists Utv Records, 1996 boogie on down TONIGHT !!! Pure Disco has twenty-one great tracks on it that anyone from the days of disco will remember fondly! This is the music people heard in the clubs as they danced their cares away on many a Saturday night. The music on this CD is excellent; and the quality of the sound is also very good. The artwork is great! The Village People start things off big with their smash disco hit entitled "Y.M.C.A." ...             Sunday at the Village Vanguard38 reviews Bill Evans Trio Ojc, 1990 One of a kind Trio I , like many others, stumbled upon this album several years ago knot knowing what to expect. I was blown away at the near-telepathic interplay and virtuostic playing all around. I wanted to throw in my two cents here, having read that Paul Motain is kind of "in the background" for this album. I have to disagree. He uses only brushes the whole set, but he never misses a beat. Just listen to ...             Pure Disco, Vol. 243 reviews Various Artists Utv Records, 1997 The best of the best! After seeing the PBS program on the 70s, I just had to get more. This is the best!             Imidiwan: Companions4 reviews Tinariwen World Village, 2009 It's impossiblbe to resist to their trancey, slinky desert grooves. Tinariwen (former guerrillas from the depths of the Malian Sahara) are Touareg rockers dressed in flowing indigo robes wielding electric guitars. This is their forth album, which takes a step back from the sonic clarity of "Aman Iman: Water Is Life", in favour of a rootsier sound. They recorded this album out in the Sahara, in the remote oasis of Tessalit, and this is audible in the raw, sandy ...             Sentimental Journey8 reviews Beegie Adair Village Square, 2006 Nostalgia As a singer, I'm always looking for new (or old) material and in this wonderful CD, Sentimental Journey, by the incomparable Miss Beegie Adair, I've found fabulous new presentations of matchless WW2 songs. There are 12 songs on this CD and I've taken 6 of them for my own interpretation. These are the nostalgic songs that our parents danced and romanced to in the 40's and they're just as beautiful ...             Days of Wine and Roses: Song of Johnny Mercer13 reviews Beegie Adair Village Square, 2003 Definitely among the short list of great jazz pianists Reading through some other comments, I'd like to throw in my own three cents. Beegie Adair should indeed be considered among the short list of great jazz pianists. Her recordings are one thing. Here LIVE PERFORMANCES are quite another. On Days of Wine & Roses, Beegie Adair and her trio present the great Johnny Mercer songs of romance in a, yes, "romantic" and "easy on the ears" format. ...             Quiet Romance9 reviews Beegie Adair Village Square, 2006 Quiet Romance My first encounter with Beegie Adair and her piano. It certainly will not be my last. Piano at it's best ! Quiet, soothing ands totally relaxing. A perfect example of how I would play were I talented.             Heavenly Adagios4 reviews Jascha Silberstein, Julian Lloyd Webber, ... Decca, 2003 Two and a half hours of divine music...what more can I say? Well, a lot! And since no one else has taken the trouble to review my favorite Adagios collection, I'm just gonna hafta go an' do it myself, won't I? Starting with the stunningly gorgeous 'Jesu, joy of man's desiring' by Bach, this tape reels you in instantly. I'm not much of a fan of 'slow' and 'peaceful' music; I like the beautiful, sublime type that just makes you tingle all over whenever ...             Instant Party Disc: Regular Strength3 reviews Various Artists Rhino / Wea, 1999 Awesome party music! Let me tell you...I work in a very diverse office building....a place where everyone likes their own music and not yours. I popped this CD in my disc drive one Saturday morning and people from nearby departments were dancing and singing along with the music! Everyone came together and had such a great time...they recognized the song from the first couple of beats and we danced and sang ...             An Affair To Remember10 reviews Beegie Adair Village Square, 2005 Jazz for Lovers Excellent "mood" music in the hours spent listening evenings and when reminiscing. Quality will always be in vogue by those of us who belong to the mature generation and remember the clubs from a bygone era around the world.             The Village Lanterne37 reviews Blackmore's Night Steamhammer Us, 2006 SACD or DVD-Audio, Please! I love Blackmore's Night. These albums beg to be released in a high definition format.             Amassakoul21 reviews Tinariwen World Village USA, 2004 Rebel Soul Spellbinding guitars, hypnotic percussion, vocals which evoke the desert plains which they have wandered for the past two decades - this is music about the struggle against oppression and nature in equal measure. I highly recommend this album to anyone who is interested to find out how the electric guitar can be transformed into a symbol of protest.             The Best of the Village People: 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection10 reviews Village People Island / Mercury, 2001 Nice to exercise to. Nothing like a little up-beat music to help you on the Eliptical Trainer. All of their popular music.             Book One New Orleans Jazz Orchestra, Irvin Mayfield World Village, 2009 The New Orleans Jazz Orchestra was founded in December 2002 by its current artistic director, Irvin Mayfield - a Grammy nominated and Billboard Award winning trumpeter and composer, who is also the officially appointed Cultural Ambassador for the City of New Orleans.
