The basic Les Brown recording .......2007-05-21
For those who were fortunate enough to hear the Les Brown band in person during it's peak years, this CD will bring back fond memories. His was THE dance band during those years and here are all his hit tunes. The recording is not of spectacular quality, but good enough. This is a "must have" for fans of the big bands.
A dance band for the ages.......2007-01-10
Anyone with a warm spot for the dance bands of yore will love this recording--guaranteed. Consisting of 26 tracks from live performances at the famous Hollywood Palladium, this two-disc set of Les Brown's 'Band of Renown' proves that jazz-based dance music could be the best dance music of all.
Featuring sophisticated arrangements and top-drawer soloists, such as Dave Pell (ts) and Ray Sims (trmb), Brown's band stands as an undersung assemblage whose music deserves prominent placement in the constellation of American music greats. The recordings pick up the background, on-floor electricity of the appreciative audience, who must have listened to--as much as danced to--this wonderful band.
A Great Recording.......2005-08-29
This is one of the best big band recordings ever made. Recorded in September 1953 before large enthusiastic crowds, this 2 disc set displays the Les Brown orchestra at its finest. In fact, Les later said no band of his ever sounded better. That is quite a statement considering his decades-long career.
The sound quality of these cuts is outstanding. I bought the LP on the Coral label in 1956 and, even then, was amazed at the clarity of the monaural sound. Whoever the sound engineers were, they really knew what they were doing. This is worth mentioning because during this period of the fifties live concert recordings were an uncertain thing at best. Jazz aficionados may recall the poor quality of the 1955 Errol Garner "Concert By The Sea" recording and the fiasco that surrounded the taping of Duke Ellington's historic July 1956 Newport Jazz Festival appearance, whereby large portions of it had to be re-done later in a New York studio. But that's another story.
When this Les Brown engagement was taking place, nobody knew it but the big band era was rapidly drawing to a close. Within two years or less, Bill Haley and the Comets, Elvis, Little Richard, Ray Charles and many others would usher in the rock n roll era and the music business would never be the same again.
So, from the twilight of an era, we have this magnificent recording to remind us what a big band full of great soloists could sound like. Dave Pell on tenor sax, Don Fagerquist on trumpet, Ronnie Lang on alto sax and Ray Sims on trombone are just a few of the great players featured on these wonderful arrangements. But for me, overshadowing them all is the superb drumming of Jack Sperling. After you've enjoyed these cuts several times - and you will - devote some time to paying attention to Sperling's work. Understated and restrained, his drumming is clearly the driving force behind this band, as a good drummer must be. Brown and his musicians were obviously enjoying themselves during these sets, and you will too.
Les's Best.......2004-10-20
This CD is an exact duplicate of the Japanese import entitled "Concert at the Palladium". This one is much cheaper. Although it was taped in 1953, the sound quality isn't all bad but I'm not sure if it has been digitally re-mastered. Regardless, this more big band jazz orientated cd gives the listener a chance to hear what is probably Les's best band ever. Some of the featured soloists include Don Fagerquist, Ronnie Lang, Dave Pell, Rolly Bundock, Ray Sims and others. This band really cooks, and, because it was recorded live, the spontaneity is obvious. This is a "must own" for any true Les Brown fan even though there aren't many of his old standards on this cd. There is lots of excitement here. It's too bad that the engineers injected the "fake" applause and cheering after and during solos and at the conclusion of numbers.

Good Live Album from Keith and his Band.......2007-01-21
This is a good album though because it's live it is a little muddy. The songs are all played at a high energy level, the band is bluesy and good, and Sarah Dash, the female backup, is excellent. Richards strains a little on some of the numbers vocally, but his virtuoso guitar playing more than makes up for it. Richards' solo efforts are superior to those of the other Stones members. He has stayed truer to the roots of the jazz and blues that made the Stones such an outstanding band. Listening to this album makes me feel like I'm in a smokey bar listening to a blistering live performance. The sound will not stack up well against a studio recorded album, but what do you expect? Probably the closest most of us will ever get to hearing a solo Keith Richards live.
Four and a half stars.
Talk is Cheap.......2004-08-24
.
This live CD, recorded during the FABULOUS "Talk is Cheap" tour, primarily represents a second recording of the studio album (and a few great extras) with very appreciative crowd noise sandwiched between the songs. Nothing wrong with that, because these are songs that are MEANT to be played live - but the energy and production values of the original studio "Talk is Cheap" album is so extraordinary, this live album primarily speaks to Keith completists. I once read Keith questioned releasing this live album, but there were sooooooooo many bootlegs out of the winos live preformances, he felt his fans deserved a definitive version.
with a chaser, please.......2004-03-22
The only more joyful noise I know than this is the DVD version of the same show. Keith is the living soul of rock & roll, and that night at the Hollywood Palladium he and his X-Pensive Winos had all the power and glory rampaging real good. As my friend put it: You'd have to be dead not to respond to that!
The Human Riff.......2003-08-12
Dubbed "the Human Riff" and widely hailed as perhaps the greatest rhythm guitarist in the history of rock n' roll, Keith Richards often plays in open-chord blues tunings, frustrating those who try to copying him with his unique five-string setup.
On this raw, ragged live album, he is backed by his session drummer Steve Jordan, who keeps a good groove going but apparently has all the imagination of a turnip. He is Richards' songwriting partner, though, and that must count for something.
Excellent second guitarist Robert "Waddy" Wachtel is here as well, as is bassist Charley Drayton, keyboardist Ivan Neville (who plays some great blues-and-boogie piano), and a long-time Stones-ally, saxist Bobby Keys.
Keith Richards and the Winos tear through nine songs from Keith's first solo album, "Talk Is Cheap", as well as a few Stones-songs, including a harder-rocking rendition of "Connection" from "Between The Buttons". Richards' guitar playing is smouldering, he lays down a superb groove all along, and his rough, hoarse vocals are pure rock n' roll!
Highlights include a swinging, sax-enhanced "Too Rude", the #3 single off "Talk Is Cheap", "Take It So Hard", the magnificent, down and dirty blues, "Make No Mistake", Richards' signature tune "Happy", the smoky slow "Locked Away", and the tough, muscular riff-rockers "I Could Have Stood You Up" and "How I Wish". Everything is played with grit and determination, and "Live at the Hollywood Palladium" has that organic feel which the Rolling Stones have had trouble capturing since the mid-70s.
Keith Richards has the ability to rock like very few others, and he shows that on this fine live album. It's not excactly polished, but what do you expect from a live recording of Keith Richards and a band dubbed "the X-Pensive Winos"?
Stone alone!!!.......2001-11-07
Si hay algo que Mick Jagger debe envidiarle a Keith Richards es su carrera como solista, nada comparable. Cuando escuches al Keith, te daras cuenta quien es el que coloca el toque maestro en las canciones de los Stones. Contiene lo mas granado de su carrera como solista: "Take it So hard", "Whip It Up", "I could have stood you up" (de lo mejor del disco). Tan solo 4 temas Stones. "Time is on my side" vocalisada por Sarah Dash, "Connection" del "Between the Buttons" mucho mejor que la version original, "Too Rude", que es muy parecida a la original y "Happy" por supuesto la mejor de todas, una version de más de 6 minutos de duracion (insolitamente sin ningun solo de guitarra incluido). ¿Por que no 5 estrellas?. Hay que reconocerlo, a Keith le falta mucho feeling en vivo. Una verdadera lástima!!!

Front Seat at the Palladium........2002-05-02
They did a very nice job of letting this "flow" together as one consistant radio broadcast. Some CD's have little splices in between songs and broadcast intro's and it's very distracting. This is a wonderful CD and wonderful sound as well. "Who Do You Know in Heaven" by Bob Locklin is a classic! I've heard a lot of Frankie Carle Orchestra and never heard Bob Locklin but hes very very good. Also Marjorie Hughes previewing for the first time anywhere "It's A Great Feeling" and "Penguins At The Waldorf" and you have one of the best half hours you've ever spent in your life!

Good old big band music.......2004-03-12
Ralph Flanagan in my opinion is second only to Glenn Miller in big band danceable music even though he never gained as much fame as some of the other bands of the era. The two bands, Miller's & Flanagan's, sound somewhat similar in style and both are great. Flangan's music always made you feel like dancing even if you didn't know how. The selections on this album are a fine example of his work
