Various Artists
Rock criticism has two schools of thought regarding the '80s. One complains that it was all crass, commercial crap, breathing a sigh of relief that we made it through that dreck (thanks to IRS, SST, jangle pop, college rock, and hardcore punk, of course). The other celebrates the album as "cheesy" fun, full of naïve, silly singles; bad haircuts; ...

Grover Washington, Jr.
Anyone who had seen Grover Washington, Jr. live could attest to the fact that whether he was playing electric jazz-funk or going acoustic on Billy Strayhorn's music, the Philly resident was a masterful saxman with as much technique as soul and charisma. However, the distinctive saxman's studio recordings (which range from outstanding to watered ...

Compilations generally do not serve jazz artists well, since they do not tend to have "hits" in the sense of "hits" in the pop field. But saxophonist Grover Washington, Jr. was a crossover artist who did have hits in the pop and R&B charts, due to his willingness to play over light funk arrangements and use vocalists. He can be credited with ...

Let There Be Love is an Engelbert Humperdinck album that the 68-year-old singer recorded in August and September 2004 and released in March 2005. It seems worth pointing this out at the start because a potential buyer easily could think it's just another compilation. True, there is a sticker on the shrink wrap that reads, "Brand new album of ...

The Essential Guide to...Jazz takes on quite a challenge with that title -- and loses: can a three-disc set truly capture the essence of jazz? Well, no, and presumably the compilers of this U.K. set knew that going in. But calling this an essential anything while devoting the entire second disc to smooth jazz, starting off with the execrable faux ...
