Earth Wind Fire - The Best of Earth, Wind & Fire, Vol.1

Earth Wind & Fire — 2013-05-04T15:29:32-05:00

Like a lot of second-wave funk bands, Earth, Wind & Fire were adept at balancing slickness and rawness. While their albums were occasionally spotty, the outfit achieved truly miraculous moments like the rocking "Shining Star" and the gloriously syncopated "September." (Come to think of it, the screaming guitar of the former was also nicely set off by its rhythmic flow.) In a have-you-never-been-mellow decade, their positivity seemed mostly realistic. With something like their powerhouse transformation of "Got to Get You into My Life"--pulling one of the great Beatles covers out of the awful Sgt. Pepper movie--they could make even the most churlish listener believe anything truly was possible. --Rickey Wright

Grover Washington Jr - Aria

Grover Washington Jr — 2013-05-04T13:57:37-05:00

Before God summoned saxophonist Grover Washington Jr. to Heaven in December 1999, the saxophonist recorded Aria, a magnificent recording that combines the rich operatic tradition of solo vocal performances with instrumental accompaniment and the improvisational vitality and phrasing of jazz. Known as the progenitor of today's contemporary and smooth genres, Washington reveals the full flower of his underrated musicianship on this beautiful and bittersweet CD. He's joined by conductor Robert Freedman--who worked on Wynton Marsalis's Hot House Flowers and The Midnight Blues, and here leads the marvelous Orchestra St. Lukes--and by bassist Ron Carter and the sensitive pianist Billy Childs. They beautifully buoy Washington's impassioned interpretations of the greatest aria "hits," from George Gershwin's Porgy and Bess to Bizet's Les Pecheurs de Perles (The Pearl Fishes), and his trademarked velvet vibrato is heard throughout the saxophone family. His timeless tenor sax sings sweetly on Massenet's "Porquoi Me Reveiller (Why Do You Wake Me?)" and Puccini's "Donna Non Vidi Mai (Never Seen a Woman Like That)." "O Soave Fanciulla (Oh Sweet Lady)," another Puccini gem, is graced by Washington's full-bodied alto tones. His angelic soprano soars on the after-hours version of Giordano's "Amor Ti Vieta (Love Forbids)," which contrasts his broad and rarely heard baritone lines on the Indian impressions of Delibes's "Flower Duet." The famous aria from Puccini's Tosca, "Vissi D' Arte (I Lived for Art)," showcases Washington at his lyrical best, and its title serves as a fitting epitaph for this incredible and sorely missed musician. --Eugene Holley Jr.
