***** Metanoia by Porcupine Tree – Top Notch Rock Jazz Fusion That Is Not for Everyone

Lol. I was reading on the internet that this album, Metanoia, has been called the opposite of Stupid Dream, but every bit as good. That is so accurate! Why they didn’t release it first as a regular Porcupine Tree album is beyond me…well sort of…this music is great, but it doesn’t sound at all like Stupid Dream, which is often called Porcupine Tree’s best cd, especially by those that don’t commonly listen to progressive rock.

Stupid Dream does not lend itself very well to jazz blending. Stupid Dream’s songs are written seemingly to catapult the band to the fame of bands like Rush. Rush is one of those bands that plays a song again, and again, and again, until they get it correct, and then the song is played exactly the same way for the rest of all time.

Also, if you are looking for something with lyrics, then this one will fail you.

If you want to know how good jazz fusion can get, I highly recommend this album. This is like the sound Miles Davis was trying to achieve in his later years. In fact, Metanoia reminds me a little of the Miles Davis album Bitch’s Brew, except in my opinion Metanoia is better.

Metanoia has some fantastic jams.  In fact, they go really well with the other album I am reviewing today, "Spontaneous Combustion," by the Liquid Trio Experiment. You just have to give it a chance though. If you don’t like this one on first listen, I completely understand. However, if you walk away from this album with a negative opinion of it, I judge that you are not a fan of good music. If you don’t like Metanoia, go listen to it when you drink or something, as for me I like this one sober.

***** My Favorite Things by John Coltrane – Tasteful Excellence for Anyone and Everyone

My Favorite Things gets my highest recommendation. It is a timeless classic. You could pull this cd out 1,000 years or more later, and this cd would still be cherished by listeners, both tone deaf and those with perfect pitch, and everyone in between. From start to finish, everything about My Favorite Things, the compact disc, remade from the original, is every bit as worthy of cherishing. If someone said, “I’m interested in jazz. Where should I start?” This would be one of probably the top 10 cds I would recommend.  I would say, “If you are looking for jazz, My Favorite Things won’t let you down, and if it does then you might consider yourself as some sort of new species, other than human.”

I actually purchased this disc a long time ago, back when I was at college and in my John Coltrane phase. That would be roughly the year 2001. That disc, the original, got scratched. However, I had burned a copy of it for the car, and that disc, the one I am reviewing, has no scratches. The original got tossed in the trash. That brings me to an important issue. The issue of duplicating cds, which I believe is completely okay to do in the same way people duplicated cassette tapes back in the day. Having a back up is an important thing! I currently have at least one cd in my 100 disc changer that can’t be duplicated for whatever reason, such that if I try to burn a copy, computer won’t comply. If that had been the case with My Favorite Things by John Coltrane, I wouldn’t have been able to have even a copy to write a review, all these years later, because the original would have been scratched. That’s just food for thought, and really almost aside from the review of this cd.

This disc is definitely one of my favorites by Coltrane tied with discs such as, Giant Steps, that are among my favorite discs. This disc is among my favorite things. I love music, and My Favorite Things is a sonic jazz treasure. However, it didn’t spend that much time in my 100 disc changer this time, not because I don’t like it anymore, but because I have much of it memorized. I don’t like to listen to the same thing over and over, and I tend to favor music that does not have a lot of repetition, as I could definitely say I am not sick of this disc. It is just to say that it is time to move one.

Much if not all of this music is in the Real Book. Honestly, I can’t quite remember if everything from this disc made it in. I often overlook the local jazz musicians, who have not composed their own music, and continually play the same stuff from the “Real Books,” as opposed to Fake Books, where it is thought that what makes a Fake Book, “fake,” is that somehow the original has been perverted just a little bit, such that copyright infringement has not occurred.

When it comes to jazz, there is no danger in writing a Real Book, because of the nature of jazz. Jazz is not supposed to be played the same way, and also to argue before a tone deaf jury of tone deaf walkers that the Real Book was indeed copyright infringement would probably be impossible, as there is just simply not enough information about the songs in the Real Books, because it is jazz, that one could arrive at the original completely through just copying the music.

Jazz is a music that by nature must have improvisation. The Real Book provides what is called the “head,” of the song, which is sort of like the theme of the song, almost like a chorus, though perhaps it is only played only once, twice, or thrice during a song.

***** Bird’s Best Bop on Verve by Charlie Parker – This Is a Must Have for Any Inspired Young Musician

I thought for a few seconds that I might give this one 4 stars instead of 5 sighting the primitive production that the original recordings suffered from.  However, in this case, even with the poor production, Charlie Parker is a musician to be reckoned with.  Likewise, this album is chock full of standards that any jazz musician will be familiar with.  Get this album!  It is a collected history of recordings that have both good song writing and stellar skill.

Review Of Album Secrets by Allan Holdsworth

Allan Holdsworth ***** Review Title: Nerdgasm

This style of music is my favorite kind, so I might be a little biased in favor of the genre. I just love contemporary jazz. I would compare being a contemporary jazz lover to being a collector of rare metals like gold, silver, and platinum. Contemporary jazz often has the finest musicianship, and it is modern, but it is not hip. Generally, crowds scare me away. If a band has too many followers, then it is usually because they put out a pop album. Through collecting these gem like albums, essentially you will be separating yourself from the heard of tone deaf morons. Allan Holdsworth has been around for a long time. He has put out a lot of great music. Yet, if you mention his name to someone you will probably draw a blank stare. If you have self confidence, then that won’t bother you. People that listen to Allan Holdsworth have self-confidence because they sure aren’t going to get a pat on the back or any other sort of social benefit from listening to him, except maybe through the internet one might be able to connect with some Allan Holdsworth fans. So Allan Holdsworth’s fan base is certainly not that big, nor does his style have the capacity to ever get big, but if big is what you like, as in big crowds, then this is not for you, but if you like big, as in big sound, I highly recommend this album.

1st 100 Disc Changer 2008 The Key to Enjoying Music Is to Develop Your Ears

This is a part of the 100 Disc Changer series. A part of being a good musician involves listening to good music. Even if you want to be in the audience, listening to music will help you enjoy music. However, sometime it is not obvious what is good. So I invite you to check these out because if you listen to them enough, they will improve your ear. Every so often I update my 100 disc changer list. I try to review the albums I take out of it. I also post album reviews at Facebook.com, Amazon.com, and Rdio.
