1961 – ATLANTIC
Produced By NESUHI ERTEGUN

1. Blues Connotation
2. Beauty Is A Rare Thing
3. Kaleidoscope
4. Embraceable You
5. Poise
6. Humpty Dumpty
7. Folk Tale

Saxophonist Ornette Coleman was a genius, pure and simple. He was a main inventor of free jazz and jazz fusion, and was a king of the avant-garde. His recording career began in the late 1950’s, and for the next four decades, he made some of the most innovative jazz records ever recorded. This Is Our Music is his fifth album, and the first to be openly credited to his Quartet. The title alone is a major statement: this was not a solo album. This was a collaboration between four of the greatest jazz musicians on the planet, with eyes on a few things. The album is very listenable, and even contains a rare standard (“Embraceable You”). It’s loaded with breathtaking turns of improvisation. And Coleman and trumpeter Don Cherry (the father of both Eagle-Eye and Neneh Cherry) trade solos like it’s the easiest thing on the planet.

The upbeat material here, particularly “Blues Connotation” and “Poise”, is lively and flawless. The moody slower tracks are perfectly executed. The rhythm section of Charlie Haden and Ed Blackwell are as good as any you will ever hear. The greatness in the playing is spread evenly between all four members…it is absolutely a group effort. This may not be held in as high regard as his Coleman’s greatest record (The Shape Of Jazz To Come), but it is really almost impossible to find a single flaw. Coleman made studio records through 1996, and live recordings up through 2009. But his earliest work, including This Is Our Music, remains groundbreaking and special. This flawless record should stand as one of the greatest in the history of jazz. Check it out.

Nobody was really ready for Lenny Kravitz in 1989, His mix of heavy guitars, soul and funk was a throwback to the seventies, and despite his successes over the years, he’s always been seen as a different animal. Let Love Rule is his debut album from ’89, and while it wasn’t a massive hit, it did put the music business on notice that this was an up and coming talent. Kravitz, who is the son of Roxie Roker from The Jeffersons, grew up in show business and was right at home even at this stage of his career. Highly talented, he wrote, played and produced almost everything on his debut (his then wife, Cosby Show star Lisa Bonet wrote some lyrics). Kravitz wasn’t a big star just yet, but it was on the way. And this was a good way to start.

The best songs on Let Love Rule are pretty great. “Let Love Rule”, “I Build This Garden For Us”, and “Mr. Cab Driver” are among the top moments of the end of the eighties. The hooks are tight, and the seventies soul vibe is electric. “Does Anybody Out There Even Care” and “Be” are pretty great as well. The other five tracks are not as solid, but still, this is a very good debut effort. Kravitz would go on to bigger and better things (Are You Gonna Go My Way and Circus), and he’s still making records to this day. His best efforts are from the 20th century, when he made his first and best five albums. He’s always been interesting, he’s undeniably talented, and he blends genres as well as anyone. Let Love Rule isn’t perfect, but it is a fine place to begin with Lenny Kravitz.

1998 – ISLAND
Produced By FLOOD, MARIUS DE VRIES, HEAD & PJ HARVEY

1. Angelene
2. The Sky Lit Up
3. The Wind
4. My Beautiful Leah
5. A Perfect Day Elise
6. Catherine
7. Electric Light
8. The Garden
9. Joy
10. The River
11. No Girl So Sweet
12. Is This Desire?

Maybe the best thing about PJ Harvey is that she is always moving forward. She never makes an album that sounds like the last one, and she isn’t afraid to try anything musically. Harvey had her breakthrough with her 1995 third album, To Bring You My Love. Is This Desire? is her next studio effort, and the two sound nothing alike. This album goes in a completely different direction. She switches from the guitar driven rock of the previous album to a hypnotic and understated electronic sound, and she doesn’t miss a beat. This one didn’t sell as well as To Bring You My Love, but it was critically acclaimed, and has become right at home on the list of Harvey’s best albums. Not that she’s ever made a bad record. I doubt at this point that she’s capable of that.

“A Perfect Day Elise” actually became her biggest UK hit, and did fairly well in America. “The Wind” is also a highlight. But, like the rest of Harvey’s records, this is best experienced as a whole. These songs all work together as a bigger piece, with all twelve tracks becoming quite a story and a worthwhile journey. Because Harvey is an album artist, more than a producer of hit singles. Her albums are exciting and fresh because she never sets out to make the same one twice. Her ability to slip from one type of sound to another at will is admirable, and makes her forever interesting. Is This Desire? may not be her most famous work, or her most accessible, but don’t sleep on it. Like everything else she does, this is beautiful, important, and endlessly entertaining.

2. Promises
3. Wet Cement

The Morning Benders are an American band, now known as Pop Etc. In 2012, they changed their name because there are places in the world where the word bender is used as a negative. The Morning Benders was a much better name, but that’s understandable. Big Echo is their second album, and the last released under the Morning Benders moniker. Produced by Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear, the album is a bright and upbeat affair, loaded with impressive harmonies and a cool pop sound that sounds surprisingly British. The singing is what carries this album, but the songs themselves are not the strongest. Instrumentally, there’s a lot of great sounding guitar along with a fine rhythm section and intriguing synth work. An interesting sound, to be sure.

The album starts off with a bang. “Excuses” and “Promises” are both really fine, and give the album credibility. After that, the songwriting drops in quality, but the playing and singing does not. Unfortunately, any momentum that may have been gained from this album was lost in their name change, a move they have still not fully gained their traction back from…also, they have not been able to match the quality of Big Echo on the three subsequent releases. Big Echo stands as the band’s best work, under either name. And even though the songs are the weakest point, the band sounds really great and large on this record. It’s too bad that they haven’t been able to build from this moment. An album well worth hearing. Turn it up loud…it sounds great that way.
