It's Dreamy.......2007-01-10

This is a very wonderful recording of Stephen Foster by a master singer.
Foster's songs are of a more innocent and naive time in the American psyche, a time that it would not hurt us to remember, given the wretched brutality of American culture today (something you'll appreciate after listening to this recording).

The songs are beautifully sung by Mr. Hamspon, and the musical accompaniment with piano, mandolin, tuba, banjo, etc. seems a perfect setting for this period music. I enjoyed the musical interludes of Foster songs (not sung by Mr. Hampson), such as "Oh, Suzanna", "My Old Kentucky Home", and "Camptown Races." They are foot-stompin' and finger-snappin' good in a non-syncopated way.

Mr. Hampson's voice is so beautiful, and he has done such a wonderful job with these song's you'll just have to hear it, and when you do, tell me that you're not dreaming.

I remember reading a quote by John Phillip Sousa that decried the use of syncopation in American popular music. I never understood it until listening to this recording. The richness and intensity of American popular music (as experienced in the work of Stephen Foster) has been lost.
Everything has to be so cool today, thanks to syncopation, and "cool" really means no emotion.

If emotion is what you want, emotion is what you'll get with Stephen Foster's songs. It was a time when the death of loved ones (especially those who died in their youth) was experienced more often (see "I Dream of Jeannie with the Light Brown Hair" and "Gentle Annie"). And we were not protected from the vicissitudes of fate by myriad government programs, modern medicine and universal prosperity (see "Hard Times").
Husbands and wives had their differences then, as today, (see the amusing song "My Wife is a Most Knowin' Woman") The passion of the Civil War (Foster was a Unionist),is reflected in a wonderful, fun song, "That's What's the Matter."

If you love good music, and you have heart which can be stirred, and you love your country, this is for you.

I love this recording. It has opened up the door to my "beautiful dreams," dreams of bygone days, lost love, and whatever else we pine for.

I wanted to buy several copies for my friends, but somehow I felt that the impact of this recording was so personal, that it could not be shared with others. Not that they couldn't enjoy it, but that I could not begin to share the intense emotion and reverie stirred in my heart by these beautiful songs.

My Favorite Composer of all time.......2006-08-20

Growing up playing his stuff on piano, I love the instrumentality of this CD..the violins give off that wail that he speaks of..I am not sure what it is about Stephen Foster but these verses..grab me like no other..there is so much sensitivity to it..

I dream of Jeannie with the light brown hair
Born like a vapor on the summer air
I see her tripping where the bright streams play
Happy as the daisies that dance on her way
Many were the wild notes her merry voice would pour

but the violins in this CD make this CD the best out there..
FYI should you be into astrology Stephen Foster is definition of Cancer...Sun and Moon conjunct in Cancer with mars in Scorpio..i love his lyrics..almost to the point of obsession..

An American classic from Hampson that brings smiles and tears.......2006-07-17

Stephen Foster was the greatest American composer of sentimental parlor ballads--he so perfectly imitated folk songs that his music wound up turning into them. In an age of home music-making and later of families sitting around the radio, Foster's songs were a staple, often performed by crossover artists from opera like Lawrence Tibbett. Those were plump, ripe styles of singing, highly flavored by church hymns.

In this 1992 collection of 17 Foster favorites, plus a few rareties, Hampson drops the platform manner and goes straight for heartfelt sincerity. His tone is plain yet sweet, his expression intimate. He is accompanied by instruments redolent of the Victorian drawing room (guitar, fiddle, upright piano), and the mood they create brings tears and smiles of remembrance. This music is embedded in America's genes, and it's wonderful to realize that every note is still alive and throbbing with feeling.

OMG!!! More than 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 stars, one of the best album in the world!!!.......2005-11-25

Simply one word, WOW!!!
Thomas Hampson's voice is simply fantasic. His voice is very different from regular operatic baritone voice, very sweet, and rich. I really cant believe an operatic baritone can sing folk song like THIS good, in my opinion he sounds even better than his opera works in this album. His voice and the background music matches perfectly, the outcome would move u to tears, and u can feel the origin of MUSIC. This album really shows what the word MUSIC means, and the songs simply just ALL beautiful. I like his "beautiful dreamer", "my life is well knowing woman", and "jeanie with the light brown hair" the most. When I listen the songs I would just imagine that I am in the world of past USA, and I can feel the life of the ppl in the past USA~ just like watching an old classic movie, it would touch ur heart and fall in love with this album.

It's simply lovely.......2004-12-14

I didn't know Stephen Foster (I thought): wrong: Oh Susanna, etc, I knew, but had no idea who the composer was.

This CD is a revelation. The melodies are so beautiful, as are the poems, and Thomas Hampson just brings them to life as wonderfully as ever. I especially love "Beautiful Dreamer" - it gives me butterflies - and "My wife is a most knowing woman" - the way he makes the voices and the indignation is just brilliant. If one needed reminding what a brilliant singer Mr Hampson is - this disk does it.

The team of composer Jerry Bock and lyricist Sheldon Harnick came up with only six shows--but what shows! In addition to the phenomenally successful Fiddler on the Roof, aficionados usually gush about 1963's She Loves Me and 1959's Fiorello!. The latter turned a not particularly appetizing topic--the years leading to Fiorello LaGuardia's election as mayor of New York--into a great musical. (It even won the Pulitzer Prize for drama, only the third musical to do so.) Harnick and Bock's versatility was in evidence as they wrote numbers in every Broadway style: novelty, ballad (about sweatshops), duet (the absurdly catchy and funny "Marie's Law"), and, of course, a rousing number that doesn't really fit anywhere but is so good that it simply must be included (Eileen Rodgers's "Gentleman Jimmy"). This may be one of the wittiest, most melodic shows you've never heard. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Customer Reviews:

Fiorello.......2007-03-09

Great music. Only; I wish I had a DVD of the show.....

A sleeper of the first order.......2007-03-06

Fiorello is a very dark comedy about the corrupt back-room politics, croneyism, and skulduggery surrounding Fiorello laGuardia's political career. Oh, and there's a romance thrown in. "Politics and Poker" in particular has a timely poignancy in light of the runup to the 2008 elections with Clinton, Obama, and -um - whoever the heck else is on the Democrat wanna-be list. I have to think there are some pretty stark parallels here. But then, that's what this timeless, delightful sleeper of an operetta is all about.

A new York-centric non-hit .......2006-11-15

This never rose to the level of a 'hit'. At this time (2006) it is dated
technically and artisticly. It didn't win in '59, there is little hope that it will be remembered fondly in '06.
In the end I bought it for archival purposes only and I'm being kind.

Laguardia isn't just an airport.......2006-08-07

Fiorello! was basically a play about New York City's great mayor, Fiorello Laguardia, that was turned into a musical by having an overture and 14 songs. Long ago, back in the late 1950s, I saw it as a child and really liked it - I've always wondered what it would be like to hear it again. Well, it is nothing less than spectacular! It has the best song about politcal corruption (!) ever written, Little Tin Box; a great song about a broken date, Marie's Law; a lyrical paean to back-room politics, Politics and Poker; and 11 others, all equally good (in fact, there's not a single dud in the score - as you would expect since it was written by the writers who did Fiddler on the Roof). The voices are great, the lyrics are all to the point, the music is unforgettable, and, for all those who don't know the story, the disc notes are really helpful. Maybe this is politcs seen through rose-tinted glasses, but it's wonderful to hear!

a classic, underrated Broadway gem.......2003-11-04

FIORELLO! is a lovely, ahead-of-its-time musical, based on the career of New York mayor Fiorello La Guardia. It starred Tom Bosley as La Guardia with a dream cast including Ellen Hanley, Pat Stanley and Eileen Rodgers.

The score, an early collaboration from Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick (SHE LOVES ME, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF) is very strong, and includes several show-pieces like "Politics and Poker", "Little Tin Box" and "On the Side of the Angels".

Ellen Hanley (who had previously been criminally under-used as Polly Bergen's understudy in FIRST IMPRESSIONS) glows in the role of feisty Thea, the sweatshop workers' leader. She has two of the score's best ballads, "'Til Tomorrow" and "When Did I Fall in Love".

Pat Stanley (who earned a Tony for her performance in the disastrous GOLDILOCKS) gets the cute number "I Love a Cop". Eileen Rodgers (who later starred in a successful off-Broadway revival of ANYTHING GOES) sings the showstopping "Gentleman Jimmy", a manic flapper tune. FIORELLO! is a fantastic show in that it has no less than 3 strong female roles.

For those who only started following Tom Bosley's career during his 'Happy Days', the fact that he was a top-drawer musical theater talent will come as a big surprise. Bosley played the entire run of 795 performances. Bosley later made many more successful Broadway appearances including BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and (as of this review's writing) a triumphant stint in the Sam Mendes revival of CABARET.

Hint At Riot To Tint Hair = Ultimate Rhino Hit.......2006-12-24

Accordion, violin & banjo (or sometimes dobro, harmonica and viola) make a bluegrass/Klezmer kind of sound, although the compositions tend toward a more cinematic sweep. Like Messiaen's "Quatuor pour la fin du temps" the instrumentation here feels accidental, circumstantial even. THT wanders between salon music and fractured dance band, never really deciding who, or what they are.

Or maybe what they are is this fuzzy in-between, where nothing is what it seems?

Helium is the second lightest element.

Reinventing the setup with insane fusion project.......2006-07-17

This ambitious band delivers it's own special brand of totally unique tango-americana by way of classical, parisian, and western influence. The unclassified trio does make extremely artsy, experimental music, although for this exception to the rule the savagely upbeat and extremely talented nature of the music will make everyone but the most self conscious listeners forget that the band sounds so weird since most likely they will be so engrossed in it's singular propulsion. Featuring outstanding musicianship from the three players (violin, guitar, piano-accordion), the level of interplay and synergy here is quite stunning- particularly through the ears of one who has true appreciation for musical composition. The sparse, though wildly eccentric, tunes do everything they can at each and every turn to floor with virtuoso-like precedence that would have become mired in it's own boxed off approach had it not been for the surging melodies to reel the listener back in from an overextended gray zone of "playing". As it is, this band is not to be ignored.

it's -->FUNKAY <--.......2001-03-04

tin hat rips 5h!t up. creepy 5h!t.

DISTINCTIVE.......2000-08-18

Is jazz too limiting a word? Tin Hat Trio makes a case in point. While certainly jazz oriented, they owe more of a debt to Charles Ives than to Charles Parker. Are they rooted in jazz? No less than they are rooted in the Serialist and Art music tradition. Yet, they certainly are capable of swinging. I think it is fair to say that they neatly encompass several strands of 20th century music including jazz. A Life in East Poultney starts it off showing a little more of a tendency to branch out into different styles than they had shown on Memory Is An Elephant. An Irish folk feeling prevails rather than the harmonic minor shuffle that endures through most of the first album. The second track is more reminiscent of the first album having that sort of Europe between the wars vibe. Throughout the album one can hear strands of Chet Atkins, Bill Frisell, Tom Waits (included on the final cut by the way), Stuff Smith, Alban Berg and a virtual potpourri of different musical styles. Country, Klezmer, Swing, Italian restaraunt music, there's alot to choose from here. My only complaint: A couple of the tracks really swing (#11,#13). I would have really loved to hear these themes developed further and improvised on. An excellent album-eccelectic yet still very much restrained. Their influences are all over the map, yet their sound is very distinctive.

Helium - Tin Hat Trio.......2000-06-21

I would recommend this CD to any one who likes good music with a difference. No one else that I know of puts out such wonderful unique and soothing music. I can't get enough of this CD! Every cut is great! The blend of sounds....truly wonderful! I hope these three gifted musicians are around for a long time to come! I really can't put into words what this music does to me. I love it. (Tom Waits ain't bad either!)

Memory Is an Elephant lilts, skitters, and wails like the soundtrack to a flickering-yellow-subtitled Italian film as it unfolds the tale of a marching chamber orchestra of East European Gypsies improving klezmer-inflected bluegrass at the wake of Astor Piazzolla. Such gloriously peculiar diversity makes Tin Hat Trio's debut of titillating tiptoe tango remarkably suitable for a gallery opening peopled with handsomely dressed avant-garde art scenesters clinking glasses or for accompaniment to a long, lonesome Sunday afternoon drive heading for parts unknown. The classically trained group creates a deftly engaging soundscape of movement, textures, and shading, and its combined bio of connections (including Bill Frisell, John Zorn, Philip Glass, Tom Waits, and Eugene Chadbourne) reads like a who's who of contemporary musical giants. Guitarist and primary songsmith Mark Orton lays down the bones of this intricately composed collection while Karla Kihlstedt's violin and Rob Burger's accordion nestle into gorgeously complex melodic tension countered with the extraordinary daring thrill of aural kite-tricks flying high and wide across the open sky. --Paige La Grone

CHARMING & ENGROSSING.......2001-04-23

After hearing a feature on Tin Hat Trio on N.P.R. and then reading the on-line reviews of their CD "Memory Is An Elephant," I bought the album and cannot remember ever hearing anything quite like it.

I guess it's the combination of instruments: accordian, pump organ, toy piano, several strings, mandolin, etc. that give their music such an unusual feel. I was at once reminded of klezmer, of Stephane Grappelli & Django Reinhardt, of Italian film scores, of Eastern European contemporary chamber music...and yet this music is totally individual: mysterious and playful, charming and engrossing.

I recommend it to anyone who wants a totally accessible musical adventure---even with that vocal during the final moments which, had it gone on any longer, would have spoiled my good time.

ah yes.......2000-07-01

the tin hat trio is an extremely talented group. the compositions that are very odd from a conventional standpoint beautifully complement the instrumentation. carla kihlstedt's playing style on the violin is wild at times but retains the clean precision that defines a good musician. mark orton, the guitarist, impresses me a great deal, and his performance on this album is as good as it is unconventional. what i often find when i listen to music produced by good musicians is that i admire thier techniques, but do not like their styles. this album however, consists of well written, complex, and musical pieces performed by very competent and obviously inspired musicians. i recommmend it.

Bucking the reviewers' trend..........1999-10-05

I purchased this CD based largely upon the previous listeners' reviews, which were unanimously positive. My reaction was consistently negative. I found the tracks to be repetitive, sounding like a disoriented Klezmer band in a futile and random search for its ethnic roots. Discordant, disconnected and distracting.

Flowing.......1999-09-23

I recently saw the Trio at the Monterey Music Festival and they were great! You can hear the classical as well as the street sound in their music. It gives one a sense of being in a foreign circus, as well as on the streets of San Francisco listening to street players. I recomend this to everyone.

A fabulous album; jazz at its most musical and evocative.......1999-03-18

Memory Is an Elephant is the most uplifting CD I have ever listened to. It is jazz at its most musical, evocative and uplifting. Its melodies are transporting, its rhythmns delightfully complex, and the dynamic range reveals a most mature musiciality. Accordion, guitar and violin--the latter particularly rich and subtle. "Foreign Legion" evokes desert mirages; "Waltz of the Skyscraper" makes me want to draw it in animation; "The Would-Be Czarina" makes my heart yearn for a mythical lost love; "Orbly Resting" and "Somniloquy" take chamber jazz into a new dimension. I can't stop listening to it!

Wicked West at her Musical Best.......2005-04-14

This CD is one of the few recordings currently in print which contains Mae West's music and it certainly does not disappoint.

The first six or so tracks are commercial recordings of the songs featured in Mae's 1930s films (they are longer and slightly different than what's on the movie soundtrack). But from then on, all the songs are taken directly from the soundtracks of those films, so if you are a fan of Mae West movies and enjoy the music she sings in them, the songs are here on CD just as they are in the movies and you will be delighted with them.

People who only know Mae West from the 'Myra Breckinridge' phase of her career (not only the movie but Mae's "comeback" albums of the 60s and 70s) should know that the music from that era is not on this CD. This CD is Mae West at her commercial and artistic peak, the 1930s and early 1940s.

My favorite tracks include "They Call Me Sister Honky Tonk," "Easy Rider," "When a St. Louis Woman Comes Down to New Orleans," and especially "I Found a New Way to Go to Town." All great honky tonk numbers, all pure Mae West.

This CD is a must for all Mae West fans. Get it before it becomes unavailable.

Odetta & Larry Know Where It's At.......2000-03-22

What can I say, I don't know a lot about music, but this album rocks, plain and simple. I don't know what other words I can use to describe it: rich, beautiful, humorous at times, soulful, intense; music from two people who sound like they wouldn't want to be doing anything else. "Old Cotton Fields" will make you wish your stereo's volume could go higher, "Old Blue" makes you stop what you're doing to listen to Larry solo, and "I Was Born About 10,000 Years Ago" (like many other songs on the album) shows the two complimenting each other nothing short of perfectly. The only drawback is some of that ol' analogue hiss, but it doesn't interfere with Odetta and Larry's strong vocals and rhythmic strumming/picking styles. This was one of the best CD purchases I've made in a long time--if I could, I'd send it to you all today.

Product Description

Earning rave reviews from fans and critics alike, Kyle Justin has been steadily making his mark on the Philadelphia region and beyond. Quickly garnering commercial radio airplay nationwide, his engaging music and style have made him a staple in acoustic rooms and popular venues in the Philly area. The Philly music scene is saying Kyle's interesting guitar voicings, soulful melodies, and thoughtful lyrics come from a "true poet" with "engaging music." Kyle's passion for music began as a teenager; a two-minute interaction with a broken guitar determined his life's path. It was then that his friend picked up a guitar and began playing some licks. "I was instantly amazed," Kyle states, "at how the combination of wood and vibrating metal strings created most of the incredible music I had admired on the radio." One thing led to another, and soon, Kyle's new-found passion found him graduating from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia where he studied music composition and jazz guitar. Today, he uses this knowledge and life experiences to write songs that merge the styles of pop, folk/rock and soul.
