The Drum Battle $9.58 This set was initially issued as the 15th instalment in Norman Grantz’s Jazz at the Philharmonic series of LPs, EPs, and 45s. As that highly collectible compilation of performances has been out of print since the 1960s, many of the volumes were later issued under the respective artists’ name. As the title would imply, Drum Battle: Jazz at the Philharmonic features the artistry of the Gene Krupa Trio with Buddy Rich (drums) sitting in on a few numbers as well as the inimitable jazz scat vocalizations of Ella Fitzgerald on a hot steppin’ and definitive “Perdido.” Opening the disc is Krupa’s trio with Willie Smith (alto sax) and Hank Jones (piano) providing a solid and singularly swinging rhythm section. While Smith drives the band, Krupa is front and center with his antagonistic percussive prodding. “Idaho” is marked with Jones’ rollicking post-bop mastery as he trades solos with Smith and can be heard quoting lines from Monk before yielding to Smith. The cover of Duke Ellington’s “Sophisticated Lady” sparkles from beginning to end. Jones’ opening flourish sets the tenure as Smith settles into a smoky lead, containing some nice syncopation and regal augmentation from Jones. Krupa primarily provides ample rhythm work on the emotive ballad. Smith’s diversion into “Stormy Weather” is notable for exemplifying the lyrically improvisational nature of this combo. The tempo is significantly stepped up on a cover of Benny Goodman’s “Flying Home,” which is full of high-spirited playing and garners a sizable reaction from the audience. The lengthy “Drum Boogie” is one of Krupa’s signature pieces and is greeted with tremendous enthusiasm. Buddy Rich climbs on board for a one-on-one duel with Krupa, whose styles mesh into a mile-a-minute wash of profound percussion. The duet segues into an inspired and free-form jam on “Perdido,” with Fitzgerald belting out her lines with authority, class, and most of all, soul. ~ Lindsay Planer, Rovi Performers: Barney Kessel – Guitar; Benny Carter – Sax (Alto); Buddy Rich – Drums; Charlie Shavers – Trumpet; Ella Fitzgerald – Vocals; Flip Phillips – Sax (Tenor); Gene Krupa – Drums; Hank Jones – Piano; Lester Young – Sax (Tenor); Oscar Peterson – Pi |

Bob Chilcott: The Making of the Drum $13.58 Bob Chilcott has spent most of his life in choral music. He was a solo treble in the Choir of King’s College, Cambridge, and was for many years a member of the elite men’s ensemble the King’s Singers. He has also established a reputation as a significant choral composer, arranger, and conductor. This CD collects several of his larger works and arrangements for mixed voices. Chilcott uses a conventional harmonic language lightly spiked with dissonance, but there is a strong lyric impulse and sense of drama underlying his music that sets it apart from the blandness characteristic of many contemporary choral composers. He has a gift for using very simple means to achieve deeply expressive ends. This clarion simplicity is most evident in his lovely setting of the prayer Sir Walter Raleigh wrote the night before his execution, “Even such is time.” His cantata for chorus and percussion, The Making of the Drum, takes as its text five spiritually profound poems by Edward Kamau Braithwaite based on Ghanaian rituals associated with drum making. Chilcott’s strongly rhythmic setting manages to evoke the repetitive patterns of Ghanaian music without sounding derivative. The six-movement Fragments from his dish, set to an assortment of British and American writings about food, is deftly humorous. Finnish choir Grex Musicus, conducted by Marjukka Riihimäki, sings with high spirits, rounded tone, and excellent blend. The sound is clean, warm, and nicely resonant. ~ Stephen Eddins, Rovi Performers: Grex Musicus – Choir, Chorus |

Drum’s Not Dead $10.38 Continuing to explore the noise rock/prog rock fusion they pioneered with They Were Wrong, So We Drowned, Liars return with another concept album, Drum’s Not Dead. The idea behind this album is even more abstract than They Were Wrong’s conflation of witch trials and pagan rituals: Drum’s Not Dead revolves around the yin-yang relationship of two forces in the creative process, personified as Mt. Heart Attack (who represents stress and self-doubt) and Drum (the embodiment of creative energy and productivity). While this is an intriguing concept, unfortunately the actual music doesn’t always live up to it. Drum’s Not Dead borrows pages from the urban-pagan, atmospherically noisy playbooks of both Black Dice and Animal Collective, although the album isn’t as evocative as the former band’s work nor as cuddly-weird as the latter’s. Nothing here is nearly as abrasive, or immediate, as “There’s Always Room on the Broom” — throughout the album, Liars stay away from their comfort zone of dynamic noise-rock. This “quiet is the new loud” philosophy is admirable, but too often, Drum’s Not Dead sounds oddly blurred and subdued. Interestingly enough for an album that uses mountains as a motif, its terrain is actually more like a valley, starting and ending with powerful tracks and dipping sharply in the middle. Drum’s Not Dead begins with “Be Quiet Mt. Heart Attack,” which is not only the album’s best track, but one of the finest things Liars have ever done. With dark, shimmering guitars that recall EVOL-era Sonic Youth and minimal but monumental drumming, it’s full of beauty and brooding that is immediately exploded by the growling drones and heavy, tribal polythrhythms of “Let’s Not Wrestle Mt. Heart Attack,” which conjures up images of fiery, twirling drumsticks and sinister rites. It’s tempting to say that Drum’s Not Dead gets its point across in just the first two tracks, but that would ignore how well “To Hold You, Drum” mixes noise and whispery negative space and sets up the album’s surprisingly sweet, hopeful resolution, “The Other Side of Mt. Heart Attack,” which also ranks among the band’s finest work. They Were Wrong, So We Drowned might have been too densely packed with ideas and sounds, but Drum’s Not Dead errs in the opposite direction: too many tracks feel like variations on the album’s themes that don’t really go anywhere. Though there are many moments of primal energy (the eerie, hypnotic taunting of “Hold You Drum,” “Drum and the Uncomfortable Can”‘s climactic doom) and beauty (the flowing water and brooding melody on “The Wrong Coat for You Mt. Heart Attack,” “A Visit from Drum”‘s expansive guitars and emotional vulnerability), they never quite jell into something that goes beyond being momentarily impressive. Drum’s Not Dead is undeniably interesting, but somehow unsatisfying; arguably the best thing about it is how it shows Liars are willing to keep pushing themselves into unknown creative territory, even if the results aren’t always consi |

A Drum Is a Woman $16.78 In 1956, Duke Ellington’s show A Drum Is a Woman was broadcast on television. Although utilizing the Ellington orchestra, the emphasis was on a somewhat abstract and bizarre story line involving characters named Madame Zajj and Carribee Joe. Zajj, who is born as Joe’s drum, travels the world and becomes famous but still dreams of Carribee Joe, who preferred to remain in the jungle. Forty years after the Ellington telecast, French bandleader Claude Bolling revived the story for a show and this recording. Jeffery Smith is the narrator (at times sounding a bit like Duke Ellington), and he shares the vocals with Laika and Francine Romain while joined by the Claude Bolling Orchestra. The revival performance is well done, but the original story is so odd that the results are just a historical curiosity. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi Performers: Jean Eteve – Reeds, Sax (Baritone); Philippe Portejoie – Reeds, Sax (Alto); Pierre Jacquot – Sound Effects; Pierre Schirrer – Reeds, Sax (Tenor); Pierre-Michel “Bago” Balthazar – Djembe, Bongos, Conga; Romain Mayoral – Reeds, Sax (Tenor); Benny Vasseur – Trombone; Christian Martinez – Trumpet; |

Tin Drum $9.58 Partially growing out of their success in the country they were named after, as well as growing friendship and affiliation with such bands as Yellow Magic Orchestra, Japan, on Tin Drum, made its most unique, challenging, and striking album. It was also the final full studio effort from the group, and what a way to bow out — there was practically no resemblance to the trash glam flailers on Adolescent Sex anymore. Rather than repeat the sheer restraint on Gentlemen Take Polaroids, Tin Drum is an album of energy, Sylvian’s singing still the decadently joyful thing it is, but the arrangements and performances tight, full, and active. The fusion of exquisite funk courtesy of Karn and Jansen’s joined-at-the-hip rhythm section and a range of Asian music influences, from instrumentation to subject matter, combined with an even wider use of technological approaches to create the dramatic, sly songs on offer. Only the Talking Heads showed the same attempt at reach and variety at the time, at least in the Western rock world, but Japan arguably outstripped the New York band with its sheer sense of theatrical style. To top it all off, the band was more popular than ever, with “Ghosts,” an appropriately haunting ballad notable for its utterly minimal arrangement, almost entirely eschewing beats for Barbieri’s textures and Jansen’s work on marimba, becoming a Top Ten hit in the U.K. The wound-up dancefloor art grooves of “The Art of Parties” and especially “Visions of China,” the latter featuring what has to be Karnand Jansen’s eternal highlight performance (check out Jansen’s jaw-dropping drum break) were also notable efforts. Meanwhile, the evocation of Chinese culture in general continued with such songs as “Canton,” a slightly martial, stately march with clear inspiration from the country’s classical music tradition, and the concluding “Cantonese Boy.” ~ Ned Raggett, Rovi Performers: Mick Karn – African Flute, Dida, Fretless Bass, Fiddle, Saxophone, Flute, Bass, Vocals; David Sylvian – Tape, Vocals, Keyboards, Guitar; Richard Barbieri – Tape, Vocals, Keyboards; Simon House – Violin; Steve Jansen – Keyboard Drums, Electronic Percussion, Drums, Percussion, Keyboards, Vocals; Yuka Fujii – Vocals |
