Editorial Product Review: : Junjo boasts an unusual format: A young American woman playing bass and singing wordless vocals with the accompaniment of a Cuban pianist and drummer. But 22-year-old Esperanza Spalding, an Oregon native who teaches at Boston's Berklee College of Music, is so confident in her multiple roles (she also produced the album, released on a Spanish label) and the music goes down so easily, all awareness of her band's makeup quickly fades. With their lighter-than-air quality, the tunes sometimes recall early Return to Forever (an ...

Editorial Product Review:Album Description:Exclusive import-only two CD compilation from the Argentina-born master of the Tango. Piazzolla, who died in 1992, took what used to be known as Argentinean Folk Music and raised it's commercial awareness, creating a world-wide insatiable appetite for Tango music. His instrument of choice was the bandoneon, which is similar to a large accordion but much more difficult to play. His compositions have become standards in Jazz and World Music, many of which are featured here. 24 tracks including 'Adios Nonino', 'Libertango', 'Muerte Del ...
Editorial Product Review:Album Description:Japanese pressing of the Latin jazz pianist/vocalist's 2004 album, includes one bonus track, 'Tell Me No Lies'. BMG/Bluebird. :On Dreamer, São Paulo-born, Manhattan-based pianist Eliane Elias performs bossa novas and brush-stroked ballads by North and South American composers from Johnny Mercer to Antonio Carlos Jobim. This project is a sort of musical homecoming for Elias, who once worked with bossa nova pioneer Vinicius de Moraes. Elias's pretty pianisms complement her breathy Portuguese/English contralto, especially on the '60s hit 'Call Me,' 'Photograph (Fotografia),' and 'So ...

Editorial Product Review: :Colombian singer-songwriter Juanes's second solo album is many things: poetic, lyrical, heartfelt, and intelligent. Ordinary, however, would not be among the list of adjectives. The humble title, Un Dia Normal, is more a description of the album's overall themes. It's a slicker and catchier collection than Juanes's politically minded 2000 album Fijate Bien, which earned seven Latin Grammy nominations and tons of critical attention. Un Dia Normal finds the former member of rock outfit Ekhymosis contemplating an array of inner emotions--primarily life, love, and loss--all ...

Editorial Product Review: :The master of the love ballad--in at least six languages--has finally put his greatest hits, along with four new tracks, in a solid two-CD bilingual set. His early material from the 1970s is solid stuff that reminds us of Iglesias's initial allure--his voice, at once mellifluous, melancholy, and warm. His early magic is evident on such heat generators as the plaintive but ultimately uplifting 'Hey,' the haunting 'Abrazame,' and the moving 'Manuela.' He broke the U.S. market wide open in 1984 with the corny but ...
Editorial Product Review:Album Description:Australian version of the superstars 2001 album featuring 11 bonus tracks, 3 on disc one which are not on the US version 'Hero' (Metro Mix), 'Maybe' (Mark Taylor Mix) & 'To Love A Woman' (feat. Lionel Richie). And on disc two 4 audio tracks, 'Hero' (Datal :If Ricky Martin is the party boy of Latin crossover pop, Enrique Iglesias is more a romantic traditionalist in the mold of dad Julio. Even his uptempo, lust-driven tunes, like this album's 'Love 4 Fun' and 'One Night ...
This raw work-flow application isn't the Holy Grail many hoped it would be, but Apple Aperture 1.5 could make life easier for photographers who need to cull, retouch, and output large numbers of photographs quickly and efficiently.
