This CD could've been titled Roswell: The Love Songs, what with almost every track's cargo of starry eyes, head-over-heels flips, and vows of eternal understanding. Its appeal to sensitive types is all but guaranteed by the presence of Dido's theme song "Here with Me" (in two versions, one a "Chillin' with the Family" mix that Andrew Lloyd Webber fans will appreciate) and quiet alt-rock faves Coldplay and Travis. Two recent albums underheard in the U.S. are represented, Long Distance from New York popsters Ivy (a remixed "Edge of the Ocean") and Free All Angels from Irish stars Ash ("Shining Light"); those cuts, happily, are the most successful at communicating the thrill of a new romance. Doves check in with an unnecessary Beatles cover, while Stereophonics almost get away with the cheery "Have a Nice Day." A mixed bag, but one that Roswell fans will no doubt embrace. --Rickey Wright

Roswell original tv soundtrack.......2006-04-04

I just love this CD (and the series!) This is my second CD, I practically wore out the first one...I bought the second one so I would have one at work and one for home/car. My 4 year old says the first song is her favorite and she knows the words!

Cute Soundtrack !.......2006-01-31

All songs in this CD is Rock Ballad, Alternative so , that bring you back to scene with Liz & Max or Michael, Isabela...
Everything appears in your memory !
If you love this series you must get it !

Great music, great show!.......2006-01-17

This soundtrack touches on a lot of the emotion of the series. There were so many more songs that could have been a part of this great soundtrack like My Oh My, Crash Into Me, Yellow Light, Human, She Cries Your Name, Amy Hit The Atmosphere, Let Me In or many other great songs in the original series. But you can get a list of all the songs that appeared in the show when it first aired at www.roswell-the promise.com. Also the screensaver that comes with this CD is a nice bonus if you are a fan of the show.

Roswell (Original Television Soundtrack).......2005-10-21

I do not like this CD.

First of all, I can't even get to the CD to play the tunes. All I get are bits and pieces of songs and the screensaver information takes up all the viewing space on my computer so I can't do any work if I do want to hear whatever song I am able to access. I was only once able to access the songs to play like a regular CD does, but I have been unable to do so since that one time. I would never buy such a CD again.

Absolutely Pure & Beautiful.......2005-10-31

If you buy no other classical music, buy this collection. CD 1 (Relax) is perfect for dinner, quiet entertaining or just soft music while you're working. From "Come Away With Me", to "Whiter Shade of Pale" to "Knights in White Satin"... each piece is it's own movement - and moved you will be... Perfect for a romantic evening. CD2 is more robust, but equally entertaining. "Layla", "Livin On A Prayer", Stairway to Heaven", "Run to You" and "Bohemian Rhapsody" - you owe it to yourself to hear these licks performed by the RPO.

Symphonic Rock.......2005-07-25

It really isn't rock, but it is a very pleasant presentation of popular music, rendered in creative ways by a full symphony orchestra. It sounds like the orchestra had a great time making these CD's.

pleasant easy listening.......2005-07-19

It's not extremely interesting music, but nice background, relaxing and pleasant with full orchestra. Not a bad buy at all!

Excellent CD.......2005-03-20

I received this as a present and at first I wasn't sure if I would like it because I don't like some of the original songs, but there's something about hearing the orchestra play that makes me like all of them. Just try it out.

It was Yomo Toro who brought the cuatro (a four string guitar) into the international arena the funky jibaro (whom Robert Palmer, writing in The New York Times, called the Puerto Rican Jimi Hendrix ) was a long time member of the Fania All Stars. When Roswell first heard Yomo he swooned, and they finally met in 2002 when Roswell sat in with Yomo at a concert in Haverstraw, NY. It was love at first sound and their collaboration had seeded. Following MaliCool and Blue Mongol, Roswell Rudd now collaborates with musicians of the Latin culture, and the fusion with his jazz idiom is perfect.

Lacy-Rudd...Beautiful.......2007-06-13

It only took a few spins to realize that this two disc set is a contender for one of the decade's best releases. You get close to two hours of live music featuring Lacy and Rudd with Lacy's long standing band mates-drummer John Betsch and bassist Jean-Jacques Avenel. Five tunes were recorded June 19th, 1999 at the Bimhuis in Amsterdam, two tunes from April 4, 1999 when the band played in Tucson, Arizona and another two from New York's Iridium on August 9, 2002. All the music is recorded well and everyone gets a chance to stretch out. There are 6 Lacy compositions, one Rudd tune, a Monk, and a Nichols.

Mr. Avenel's bass is strong and articulate, as usual, and he walks with authority in this free-bop context. He'd spent many years as Lacy's first choice bassist, adding his distinctive touch to many fine recordings. Mr. Betsch is a wonderfully inventive drummer, always embellishing tastefully, accenting and punctuating purposefully and in a subtle way. He had also been Lacy's first choice percussionist, and, for many years, played the role to perfection on stage and in the studio. As a rhythm unit, these guys have a great jazz feeling and can really swing hard, setting this one ahead of the pack.

Lacy was one of those guys who was instantly recognizable on his chosen instrument. He's left us essential recordings from six decades. He was, without doubt,an artist of the highest order, someone whose life itself was the embodiment of creativity, and on these live recordings you can hear that process. His solos were always of a probing nature, always testing and marking limits, looking for different passageways to stimulate our cortical matter. By the 2002 session he does, at some points, sound slightly frail, yet the solos are still keen and absorbing. The tunes are all familiar to Lacy collectors. It's the freshness that's appealing.

Roswell Rudd is, in my opinion, the real star of the show. He just sounds brilliant on every tune. His soloing is smart, exciting, boisterous and robust. He can cover the history of the horn with a joy of purpose, employing mutes,updated tailgating techniques and outside tonal variations. He really is wonderful to hear on these discs and definetely adds a welcome spark of enthusiasm.

Lacy and Rudd had a relationship that dated back to the fifties when both were involved with more traditional(dixieland)playing and players. They both had a healthy curiosity for exploring some of the newer developments in jazz. Lacy played in Cecil Taylor's mid-fifties band while Rudd later played with Archie Shepp and John Tchicai as well as Cecil Taylor. In the early sixties,both players formed a little cooperative band called 'school days' to explore the music of Thelonius Monk. Dennis Charles was the drummer and the bass chair was held by many including Henry Grimes-who played on all but two cuts of the famous School Days recording(now on Hat Hut).

The bonus material-23+minutes-comes from demos the 'school days' band did back in 1962. It's Rudd and Lacy with Dennis Charles on drums and Bob Cunningham on the bass doing 3 Monk tunes and 1 Cecil Taylor tune, all of it beautifully recorded in a New York studio. It's priceless to finally hear this material. The band sounds like the School Days cd, the arrangements and solos all superb.

This is a 2 disc set of live and studio performances that stands above most of what is offered as free jazz today. That's not to say that there's nothing worthwhile out there, it's simply saying that this is a cut above. Master musicians at the top of their game...ESSENTIAL

TARTE is the sophomore album from singer/songwriter/Instrument-obsessed Majandra. A silvery blend of moody melodies and syrup-like pop - all with a dollop of old-fashioned goodness. Expect a lighter evolution from freshman album The Sicks but even still, TARTE serves up the dark stuff - only better than before. 11 Tracks including "The Places You'll Go" and "Sit and Wait" ...

Sweet - not so raw :).......2007-05-22

I've been eagerly anticipating this album for what seems like forever! From her last album, I was expecting different - I like different, and in this case different is very, very good. It seems more complete than 'The Sicks'. Wonderful sounds/samples interspersed with smooth, almost jazz style, singing. Yes, you could group Majandra with some of the more adventuous singer/songwriters out there, I think that would be a compliment to all.
Highlights for me:
The Places You'll Go (lyrical layering and guest vocals really set this one apart)
Poems Spill
Ever Present

Taste something different :)

Yum........2007-05-14

I was skeptical. I didn't much like the fact that we had another singing actress on our hands, and that well....we had another singing actress on our hands. But never one to make silly assumptions (or at least act on them!) I purchased this CD after hearing The Places You'll Go on her myspace page.
All I can say is: Dang!!!!
Every song is its own universe. Like some far off place only you're invited to.
And now, after nonstop addictive listening, it is official - I love Tarte.
If you love Fiona Apple, Feist, Regina Spektor, even Madeleine Peyroux, then I think this is the album for you!
It's truly delicious.

Mali's one of international music's most fascinating zones, a place where the blues went home to help stir a music that blew the world's mind with Ali Farka Toure, Oumou Sangare, and Boubacar Traore in the 1990s. Then Damon Albarn (of Blur and Gorillaz fame) rekindled the flame in 2002 with Mali Music.

And now, free jazz's greatest trombonist, Roswell Rudd, has created another masterpiece. His horn--wide-bore and fatly swaying blats--mixes magically with Toumani Diabate's kora, Lassana Diabate's balofon, and Basseko Kouyate's ngona to make a wonderland of strings, percussion, and resonant color. Sayon Sissoko's guitar and Henry Schroy's bass lend a structural foundation over which the marimbalike plunks dance and Rudd's horn pliably fills space with broad, full-blown clouds, an ideal, unexpected expander of all that's going on around the trombonist. Monk's "Jackie-ing" has a structure that Toumani's kora thrives in, with canyons where the strings make a phenomenal, rich showing. It's the more traditional stuff that has Rudd thriving, always with such sureness that he sounds as if he's played Malian music all his life. But still: you won't believe the adaptation of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony's "Ode to Joy" as it forms the launch pad for the set-closing "Malijam." --Andrew Bartlett

Customer Reviews:

Trombone and kora? It works!.......2005-09-04

The last couple of years have seen a great number of crossover albums. Not all of them are very good, but this one certainly is.

Here, the jazz trombonist Roswell Rudd has teamed up with the kora player Toumani Diabaté. At first it sounds a bit strange to hear a trombone in this setting, but I've listened to this album repeatedly and it has really grown on me ; I think the music is fascinating. 'Jackie-ing', in particular, is one of the most interesting versions of a Thelonious Monk composition I've heard in years. 'Sena et Mariam', on the other hand, is so gentle and beautiful that it almost made me cry.

Perhaps, not as accessible or as good as the collaboration between Farka Touré and Ry Cooder but this is definitely a very good CD. Were it not for the rather silly Beethoven coda, I would have given 5 stars - as it stands I give 4.5/5.

Completely blew my mind.......2003-02-08

If you're at all familiar with my reviews on this site, you know that I'm a huge fan of what I call world jazz or jazz beat. This, simply, is the meeting of an authentic jazz orientation with a genuine world music sensibility. Some of the best examples of this kind of music are Vira Loucos by Cyro Baptista, Sanfona by Egberto Gismonti, Beyond the Sky by Yusef Lateef and Adam Rudolf, Nascer by Peter Epstein, Alight by Safa, and Peace Pipe by Ben Allison.

With Malicool, however, I believe we have something truly new. Whereas on Peace Pipe, the brilliant "downtown world jazz" album by Ben Allison, Malian kora player Momadou Diabate is thrust into a hip Western jazz setting, with generally very satisfactory results, on Malicool free jazz maestro Roswell Rudd does the opposite--he travels to Mali and inserts himself (and his jazz aesthetic) into traditional Malian string music. In his liner notes Rudd observes that he had to radically adjust his trombone playing, from a chromatic concept to the natural octave setting of Malian music, from a drum-oriented understanding to a more naturally flowing percussive direction, but especially from a sound-impact standpoint. The tonal weight of the trombone could have easily overwhelmed the delicate string interaction typical of this music. Thus, he had to totally redesign his approach tonally and spatially.

Does it work? Magnificently. It strikes me that this is almost some new kind of music--a unique blending of Malian and jazz sensibilities into something greater than the sum of its parts. What we've got here is the timeless, static-like quality of West African music joined to the restless exploratory character of jazz to produce a music that is at once meditative and ecstatic, mournful and joyous, still and dynamic.

This is perhaps best illustrated by two tunes: "Jackie-ing" and "Ode to Joy," the first a well-known jazz composition by Thelonius Monk, the second, of course, the famous Beethoven composition. Each sounds totally natural, even familiar, though surely like nothing else one has ever heard before. There's an inherent playfulness to Monk's music which this cross-cultural amalgam perfectly captures, all the while maintaining what can only be described as a completely alien--to jazz, at least--musical aesthetic. "Ode to Joy," here called "Malijam," is something else again. Reharmonized, rhythmically deconstructed, it still manages, somehow, to perfectly capture the essence of Beethoven.

Highest praise to Roswell Rudd for even attempting such music. Kudos to all involved for bringing it off so spectacularly.

Album Description

Blue Mongol recording is an extension of a 2004 concert that featured Rudd with Asian musicians from Mongolia, the mountainous country that lies between Russia and China, where the art of throat singing has flourished for thousands of years. That unique vocal tradition - called hoomei by the indigenous people -- consists of overtones and harmonic resonances created by channeling air through the human vocal folds and out through the lips, creating strange (to our ears) octaves, low drones, and high-pitched, woodwind-like tones, which enable the vocalist to sound more than one note at once (think Rahsaan Roland Kirk). The Mongolian musicians are lead by throat singer and multi-instrumentalist Battuvshin Baldantseren: a virtuoso on the limbe bamboo flute, Ikh Khur horse-head bass and khomus Jaw harp, singer Badma Khanda, Dmitry Ayurov on the Morin Khur horse-head fiddle, iochin dulcimer player Kermen Kalyaeva and Valentina Namdykova on the yatag zither and the lute! -like Khalmyk Dombr. Rudd calls their music "art folk, because it combines the sophistication of conservatory, western training with the indigenous performance style of their long history."

Customer Reviews:

He's at it again.......2005-10-15

Following up on the spectacular critical and commercial success of Malicool, a unique encounter between West African traditional kora-based string music and North American jazz, Roswell Rudd goes even farther out, melding Western improvisation with traditional Mongolian throat-singing and folk stylings.

And the results yield a unique amalgam, even more wonderfully strange than his previous effort.

For me, this intersection of various world folk musics with jazz sensibilities produces some of the most exciting music on the scene today. It started with Egberto Gismonti, continued with Andy Narell, and goes forward with Jan Garbarek, Omar Sosa, Safa, Peter Epstein, Miguel Zenon, Yusef Lateef, Lingua Franca, The Intercontinentals, Jenny Scheinman, Dhafer Youssef, Nguyen Le, Roberto Rodreguez, Jean-Pierre Mas, Rita Marcotulli, Vijay Iyer, Guillermo Klein, Pago Libre, Michael Wolff, Will Calhoun, Ben Allison, Fraser Fifield, and a host of others too numerous to name.

The key consists in retaining the authentic aspects of each music, even as both are decoded and put together in new and unforeseen ways.

Case in point: "Buryat Boogie," a fiftyish-sounding boogie-woogie seamlessly grafted onto the Mongolian steppes that comes out sounding both bizarre and completely familiar. The title cut clinches the deal. Here a traditional blues is placed in such an unlikely setting as to nearly deconstruct it, yet it all comes out as almost inevitable. Perhaps even more astounding and weirdly glorious is "American Round," an amalgam of "Swing Low Sweet Chariot," "Coming in on a Wing and a Prayer," and "Amazing Grace." Do you know of more evocative music? I don't. And I doubt I'll ever encounter it. And don't forget "Honey on the Moon," a Rudd composition that sounds so authentically eastern that one could hardly be blamed to think of it as a lost oriental folk classic.

Bottom line: Full monty mysterioso ur-folk magically melded with American jazz--something no person with minimal aesthetic sensibilities should miss. More advanced aesthetes will drop everything and purchase same post-haste.

Roswell Rudd Rules This Roost.......2001-07-14

Roswell Rudd is brilliant and it's great to be able to kill two birds with one stone and listen to both Beaver Harris and Sunny Murray on one CD. The highlight of the release is Giuseppi Logan's aptly named "Satan's Dance". It is, well, demonic in its intensity. It is rather strange music. For some reason it made images of a hellish Dixieland inferno pop up in my mind. The Taylor material is good but it was the Rudd material that grabbed me.

Mixed Masters.......2001-03-10

This Impulse release documents two distinct sessions: Cecil Taylor (61'-produced by Gil Evans), and Roswell Rudd's 66' release, "Everywhere". The two dates, although recorded five years from each other, meld remarkably well. Concerning the Cecil Taylor music, there are three Taylor compositions that are all challenging, ahead of their time, and even hummable and swinging at times. It represents a transitional period of Cecil's career where he was truly moving more and more "out". However, you don't need to love more noisy jazz to enjoy this gem, just an appreciation of interesting music, an open ear and mind. Check-out "Bulbs" to get an idea of what I'm saying (hummable and swinging). This track is as infectious as any pop tune and has recognizable O. Coleman and Mingus flavors in it. Plus you can't beat the line-up! A young Archie Shepp (tenor sax) with Jimmy Lyons (alto s.), Henry Grimes on bass, and a fledgling Sunny Murray on drums. Ted Curson and Roswell Rudd join in for a avant-super group on the track "Mixed", trumpet and trombone respectively. This Taylor session is absolutely essential for a serious 60's new music/avant-garde/free-jazz collection. As for Rudd's Everywhere session, you have Roswell Rudd on trombone, Giuseppe Logan on flute and bass clarinet, Lewis Worrell and Charlie Haden on upright, Beaver Harris on drums, and both altoists John Tchicai and Robin Kenyetta. no piano. The material includes a Logan tribute to Eric Dolphy ("Satan's Dance"), Bill Harris's "Everywhere", and two originals from Roswell Rudd. Some of the music becomes monotonous at times but there are definately some spectacular moments that make for many rewarding and insightful listenings. Very atmospheric and emotionally charged, reminding me of Alan Shorter's music (ie-"Orgasm" session, or the track "Mephistopheles" on Wayne Shorter's "The All Seeing Eye". Overall, this is a great buy for your money with sessions from both avant-gardist greats: Cecil Taylor and Roswell Rudd. I would recommend it to anyone that likes a more challenging listen. From this free-jazz fan to you: a very satisfying Taylor experience, and one that I will enjoy for a long long time. Give "Mixed" a try!

Great Music, Great Value.......2000-07-11

Cecil Taylor's music is not for everyone. Maybe that's why when the Cecil Taylor portion of "Mixed" was first issued back in the 60s, it was done so as a Gil Evans album! In any event, this is a great place to start if you want to check out Cecil's music, and you get another album's worth of material thrown in for free. The first three tracks of "Mixed" are Cecil's, with an all-star avant garde jazz lineup including Archie Shepp, Jimmy Lyons, Sunny Murray and Roswell Rudd. Speaking of Rudd, tracks 4-7 were originally released in the late 60s as his album "Everywhere." Anyone who enjoys exploratory jazz will find there is nothing mixed about this CD.
