Live at Small's [Live]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Mark Elf plays bop guitar in a classic vein--high speed, harmonically adventurous, rhythmically aggressive--recalling giants of the form like Barney Kessel, Tal Farlow, and Jimmy Raney. He has technique to spare, and it enables him to add fresh rhythmic detail to a cascading line and to push a long solo to its logical limits. His combination of raw vigor and high dexterity is especially apparent on this, his first live release, recorded in 1995. The youthful rhythm section of Neal Miner on bass and Joe Strausser on drums provided the guitarist with all the fuel he needed. On bop classics like Horace Silver's "Quicksilver" and Thelonious Monk's "52nd Street Theme," Elf is happy at tempos that would have pleased Charlie Parker. He also swings effusively on Kenny Dorham's "The Theme," a Jazz Messengers anthem. The guitarist's lyrical side shows in some rich chorded passages on standards like "Stella by Starlight" and "Too Close for Comfort," but even the ballads are animated by kinetic, coiling, single-note lines. There are two extended versions of his blues song "109 West," and Elf shows that he can find different inspirations in the same material. --Stuart Broomer

From Jazziz
The excitement and intensity of small group improvisation in the bop tradition is evident on every track of this excellent live recording. Guitarist and leader Mark Elf, bassist Neal Miner, and drummer Joe Strausser are a tight, mobile unit. As soloists they are consistently engrossing, and the blowing is counterbalanced by fresh treatments of songs like "Too Close for Comfort."

The vitality of the music is in part attributable to Elf's flexible approach to the material. For up-tempo tunes such... read more

Amazon.com's Best of 2001

Barbara Cook is one of today's most accomplished song stylists, and if you don't believe us, just listen to this live album. It's a master class in the art of singing. It documents an evening at Carnegie Hall during which Cook proved that she can dissect and extract the substance out of the simplest of lyrics. One of the best surprises is "You Could Drive a Person Crazy" (from Company), which is taken at an amiable trot and allows the singer to display its humor. Cook is not a swinging singer and uptempo is not her pace; give her a ballad, though, and she'll wring the last drop of emotion out of it. Her version of "Losing My Mind" (here paired with "Not a Day Goes By") is simply astonishing. The singer also performs songs that Sondheim has said he wished he had written, an awful lot of them by Harold Arlen. No complaints here. Guest Malcolm Gets solos on a few songs and duets with Cook on others, including "Let's Face the Music and Dance." This is classic material done masterfully by a classic singer. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Wow!.......2004-02-20

Having read the other reviews there is little more for me to add. I have been a Barbara Cook fan for a longtime and for me, this is one of her best concerts ever. I do, however, prefer the DVD. As with some other reviewers, I do not want to hear Malcolm Gets (as much as I like him) when I want to listen to Barbara. Her flawless interpretation of music is a hard act to follow for any singer! I managed to see this concert 4 times over a year and a half. Each time I saw her the voice was stronger and more assured (I would not have thought that possible). I can't help but think we will have the pleasure of hearing Ms Cook for many years to come. For those people who enjoyed his CD I strongly recommend purchasing the DVD. Barabara's rendition of So Many People is breathtaking (literally, I don't think I breathed once during the entire song). If you ever have opportunity to see her live - go! She has an ability to make you feel as if every song she sings and every word she speaks is directed to you alone. She can take a large venue and make it feel as intimate as your own living room. Having had the pleasure of meeting her I can say she is as youthful and pleasurable in person as she is in her performance.

Everyone Should Whistle.......2003-10-11

After being privileged to attend this concert, I had to own the CD. Once a lyric coloratura and the original Cunegonde in Bernstein's Candide, Ms. Cook has become (in her 70s) a true diva, blessed with a velvety, warm sound. Every note has meaning. Her high B-flat on "Ice Cream" is still the envy of any soprano today. Everyone should whistle after hearing the superb performances on this CD. Even better, though, is the experience of having been in the concert hall for the live performance. Brava, Ms. Cook!

An amazing intro to the body of work of a true master.......2003-06-16

When I first bought tickets for the 'Mostly Sondheim' show on tour (in San Francisco) I figured it couldn't be too bad. Besides, I had only been exposed to a few of his songs (Anyone Can Whistle, Losing My Mind...) and had only seen "A Little Night Music". On the way out of the theater I immediately picked up this recording of the program. It is truly amazing. I immediately began listening to it and have barely put it down in the last few months. Furthermore, my Sondheim CD collection increased in size from an unflattering zero to five (and it's still growing)! This is an amazing introduction to the works of Stephen Sondheim, who is now my favorite modern musical composer). Buy this now if you don't already have it!

Beautiful, moving concert.......2003-04-13

This is a wonderful CD set with a great selection of songs. I do want to express a slight reservation, however. Barbara Cook has been one of my favorite singers for a number of years and the way her voice defies time is extraordinary -- for her to be singing with such bright, beautiful tone in her mid-70s with no wobble or beat in the voice is an amazing achievment.

I do have to say that by 2001, when this concert was recorded, Cook seemed to have a lost a little bit of power and intensity in her singing. This is only natural for someone of her age. Her voice is still lovely, but you can sense her keeping it in reserve a bit. She's as expressive as ever, but compare the rendition of "I got lost in his arms" on this album to the one on her previous album recorded in 1999, "The Champion Season", and there's less urgency and vocal depth in her singing here. That said, the high B at the end of "Ice Cream" is sensational.

So, despite that caveat, this is, again, a wonderful album, a must for Cook fans, especially for the gorgeous renditions of songs I'd never thought I'd get to hear her perform: "Not a Day Goes By", "Happiness/Loving You", "San Francisco", etc. Buy it!

... and I love Barbara Cook.......2003-02-11

This recording is a disappointment for me. It is not her best work, and Malcolm Gets is uninspired. My biggest complaint however is the engineering of the recording. Throughout the speaking was to soft, the singing volumes uneven, and the applause deafening. I will be passing this CD on to friends, and will later donate it to my local library.

Great compilation.......2002-05-10

I don't actually own this particular compilation, however, since I own nearly every recording represented on these discs...I think I'm qualified to comment. This is a wonderful representation of the high quality of work that DRG Records does.
The previous review is way off the mark. This is definitely not a waste of time or money. This is 25 years of preserving Broadway shows, Off-Broadway shows, studio recordings (mostly from the city center concerts), etc. So what if they "aren't as good as the original", DRG is preserving many recordings and artists that other mainstream labels don't or won't. You have wonderful recordings from Brian Stokes Mitchell, Nathan Lane, Debbie Gravitte, Tyne Daly, Anthony Perkins, Joanna Gleason, Marin Mazzie, Carol Burnett, Heather Headley, Patti LuPone, Barbara Cook, etc., and many of these are from Original Cast Recordings just as they appeared on Broadway. This is an excellent sampler of the work going on at DRG. No...I'm not an employee...just an avid listener and collector of theatre recordings.

A disappointment.......2001-12-15

There's a reason you've probably never heard of most of the songs and shows on this album, not to mention most of the artists. This is a second-rate collection of second-rate numbers performed by mostly second-rate artists. In the case of the shows that were revivals, the performances on the original cast recordings were better. Don't waste your money.

.....I DON'T KNOW....MAYBE IT'S ME.............2002-08-16

....there's something uneven about this cd....and i reallyh hate the word 'uneven' because it implies that something was once 'even' and then something happened to undo that comfortable and smooth quality. and that's what i feel happened in this case...because i'm a big fan of mary cleere haran's 'this heart of mine' cd and i figured -- well, i found that new singer....the one that could sing songs from the forties and make you feel like the forties just opened two years ago....but there's something wrong with a performer who really can sing and decides to talk a lot because she, or he, knows that pretty soon...before the next couple of songs....there's this talk i wanta do and this will give me an added dimension and i'm working here in that icon of new york hotels were 'talk' was the big thing....with all those great minds of intellect and humor gathered around one of those tables sitting out there...it's gotta be the same table...or one of them...so i'll talk to the people...it'll be different...they'll expect one song after another but i have a lot to say...i don't just memorize lyrics...i can talk. well, just like people who can spell think they can write...there are those who assume that since they can sing a word they can probably speak it just as well...wouldn't that be neat. and we could do more cds like this and there's gotta be lots of hotels out there like this one and i could have a whole new career within a not too old career and people probably want to hear me say stuff because they want to know more about me. right? right? RIGHT? will one of you guys hand me the piano sheet for 'this heart of mine'? no, i have nothing to say about it. harry warren and arthur freed said it all.....like jack benny used to say, 'Play, Phil." Whoever in the world "Phil" was! well, i'm sure by now mary thinks she did the job she set out to do....and maybe she did....maybe it's me. but i've gotta feeling that dorothy parker could also sing and talk...she saved the words for were they counted....in her writing....except for those times when she wanted to shock somebody...which was always. 'this heart of mine'....you know, she could've really done something special with that song. it would've come out sounding different...but everything she said did exactly that and we're still talking about her. at least i am. no, it's not me. mary probably knew better when she did the larry hart cd. maybe.

Miss Haran is definately witty!.......2002-04-14

Mary Cleere Haran is one of those classy caberet singers that has the special gift of SWING(which most cabaret singers aren't nessicarily gifted with, the only other one I can think of, off hand is the gifted Wesla Whitfield), here on this live cd recorded at the historical Oak Room she sings a variety of swing and jazz standards and lost gems mostly from the 20's thru 40's, the opener is a real gem which includes the rare verse on "Let's Do It", then the charming Miss Haran talks about wit, she also sings a hauntingly beautiful "A Fine Romance" and great renditions of "There's A Small Hotel", "I Concentarate On You" and perhaphs the finest recorded version ever of "Waters Of March." One doesn't mind Haran's informitive and witty remarks between each song, she's truly a classy cabaret swinger blessed with a gorgeous voice. Definately worth picking up(also get her latest "Crazy Rhythm"). All of Haran's cd's are consistant in quality for she only uses the finest jazzman to back her up, and she loves the standards and forgotten gems too(& she often sings the verses to many standards). Buy this one!

When I first heard Mary Cleere Haran.......2000-09-25

This album was my introduction to Mary Cleere Haran. I was looking for something different. Music something like the cabarets in the old movies. Something other than the rock, country and pop music I grew up on.

I loved it. The clear voice, amusing (and often witty) lyrics and even the 'live' comments all added to my enjoyment of this CD.

S'Wonderful.......2000-04-27

We had a wonderful evening listening to Ms. Haran perform in New York a few years ago. This live recording captures her charm and wit, which is at the core of her art. We loved her stories about growing up Catholic in San Francisco. Its an excellent live recording of her cabaret act. Thank you, Mary.

NOT a smart purchase on my part ...........1999-01-19

Cannot be one of Ms Cleery's best .... poorly put together, one selection is barely audible, next you have to turn volume way down because it is TOO loud ... this ia a live recording and not my favorite type of CD ...

Long out of print recordings finally make it to CD.......2000-09-01

King Curtis' first recording for Atlantic Records, Have Tenor Sax, Will Blow (1959) and his first recording upon returning to Atlantic, Live at Small's Paradise (1966) together on one CD make this a dream come true for King Curtis fans.

The first 11 cuts are from Have Tenor Sax, Will Blow, Atco 33-113 it contains 7 originals and as you would expect lots of great blowing. While there is a taste of the yakety yak that made King Curtis famous it's more R&B, very satisfying! In addition to King Curtis Noble Watts is on 5 tracks which gives a real nice 2 tenor sound. Also featured is the guitar work of Al Casey of Fats Waller fame and Jimmy Spruill and Joe Puma.

The final 10 cuts are from Live at Small's Paradise from 1966 originally released as Atco 33-198. This band features Cornell Dupree on guitar and the recently departed Paul Griffin on keyboards along with Willie Bridges & Melvin Lastie on horns. This is recording reflects what you would have heard if you were lucky to catch King Curtis performing live at Wilt Chamberlain's Harlem club in the mid 60's. There are 3 originals 2 of which (Preach & Pots and Pans) I've never seen on CD prior to this release. Of the covers Blowin' in the Wind is a standout.

It's great to have these just about impossible to find recordings finally released on CD, hats off to the folks at Collectables and lets hope this is just the begining of the King Curtis Atlantic Records being reissued.
