Wendy Carlos, Wendy / Elkind, Rachel Carlos, ...

East Side Digital, 2005

Finally and Fulfilling!

Rediscovering Lonnie Johnson

Blues Anatomy with Jef Lee Johnson

Range Records, 2008

This is how all concept albums should be approached and executed.
I am very pleased with this album. Lonnie Johnson was so much more than just a blues musician. He was a great all-around musician, playing not only the gut-bucket guitar blues, but also intricate jazz with Satchmo and Eddie Lang. This album showcases that diverse ...

Rediscovering the Russian Avant-Garde 1912-1925

Arthur Vincent Lourie, Alexander Mosolov, ...

G.M. Recordings, 2001

Avante-Garde indeed

Hui 'Ohana

Poki Records, 2004

Even though Dennis is gone, Hui 'Ohana lives on!
It was a great idea to put a 'Best Of' Hui 'Ohana complilation CD together. Many of the early recordings are on this disc, including my personal favorite, Ku'u Home 'O Kahalu'u. With Dennis gone now, it was heart warming to listen to the old melodies and think back ...

Come Home: Rediscovering Old American Hymns, Volume I
American Hymns Singers, Met Opera Chorus

MSR Classics, 2005

There is a rich, vibrant body of music that is the American Hymn. Through our worlds seeming lack of sentimentality and valuation of our own history, it seems that this music might slip into oblivion. The loss of its simple beauty, spiritual message that connects us with God and yes, even the sheer fun of singing it, would be a tragedy. The ...
