Bonus tracks. . .uh. . .yah sure you betcha.......2007-05-03

Gave it a 4 star only because all 5 bonus tracks have already been released on Jazz At The Black Hawk (7-8, 10-11) and Jazz At Storyville (9) but give it a five if you don't have either of theses LPs or the CD Dave Brubeck/Paul Desmond which has these tracks as well.

Or rate it 5 stars just for the historical content or just because you like the Bru.

Since I have more than 100 Brubeck LPs and CDs these bonus tracks are just padding to me. . .and irritating, since there are other notable LPs and concerts that have never been kissed by the digital age. One notable with nary an LP or DVD or CD is Dave Brubeck from the 1979 Newport Jazz Fest. Get it before it disappears.

incredible talent!.......2000-05-11

When i first heard this cd i knew i was hearing real talent. The writing is really cool and the vocals of lori and micah rock(not to mention the cool music) I also heard that they have a new cd coming out which i'm sure is amazing. Anyway they rule!

Awesome CD.......1999-12-24

Wilshire is a great band with good lyrics and music. They are not too loud but they also are not quiet, either. I highly recommend this CD to anyone.

Really Cool.......1999-09-16

I think it's a great cd.(I'm only 12). I especially like the songs "over my head", "face" and "if I could".You have to get this great cd!

A great album, by an outstanding duo.......1999-08-21

I saw Wilshire as an opening act and backup musicians for Michael W. Smith, and although I've probably seen 50 or 60 concerts in my life, this was the first time I ever saw an act that made me want to go out and immediately buy their album. Their songs have a very different flavor to them... something I can't quite figure out, but it's definitely different than anything I've ever heard before. The songs are carefully composed, with great emotion and purpose as well as interesting hooks and choruses. There are 1 or 2 songs that are only average, but everything else on this album is definitely a worthy addition to any music library. If you listen to the likes of Watermark, Out of the Grey, and Avalon, you'll LOVE Wilshire.

Wilshire did great for their 1st CD!.......1999-04-22

After listening to Wilshire, I think they did a great job, and I like them a lot. My favorite song is probably the first one, Over My Head, Ms. Innocance, and the last track. However, I think that their CD lacked a little something, though it is hard to put my finger on what that is. Maybe all the songs aren't unique enough? I don't know. But I recommend them!

Finally a Messiah with fervor!.......2005-10-20

I've hunted a thrilling performance of The Messiah through 240 versions so far. This is the best I've found. Some are self-conscious, dutifully singing as instructed. Some are almost childish in their lilt. Some are overblown with so much bombast that you can barely hear the heart of the music. Some are concentrated on faithfulness to the original instruments. If you want a performance that will make you shiver with the power and joy of the music, this is the one. The singers are singing about GLORY. They sound as if they are ecstatic. The musicians are at one with the music and they create a virtual cathedral wherever this CD is played, just close your eyes. Or, let your own imagery, be it celestial, or of great oceans...carry you away.

Great recording!.......2003-09-22

There are so many performances of the Messiah out there that it is very difficult to point to a difinative one, but I'd put this in the catagory of the "very good" ones. As other reviewers have said, every performance is different and has its own character. Each has stronger and weaker points. Here the conductor and musicians have made good, solid musical choices. There is an amazing attention to detail which is not so obvious the first listen through but which makes the piece shine. The tempos seem to be right on, and there is no frivolous over-embellishment by the soloists. There is no attempt to be showey. The dramatic dynamics in the first section of the overture are interesting, but seem to work after you hear it a few times. This performance also includes sections which are often omitted (Second half of "He shall feed his flock," "Thou art gone up on high," "Great was the company of the preachers," and "Death where is thy sting"). I prefer the more intimate quality of a small ensemble of musicians to the mega-performances by the London Philharmonic, Vienna State Opera Orchestra, etc.. As with this performance, the smaller group lends a clarity to the music, where the larger ensembles can get a little "muddy" at times. Just my personal preference. Overall, this is a very good performance, and certainly the low price (being on the Naxos lable) makes this a clear choice.

Good and Bad.......2000-04-09

I was more interested in "The Messiah" for the religious content than as a music critic, but this was too much. The strings are tinny. The orchestra is plodding. The soloists and choir are thankfully very good and seem to understand the meaning of the words. It is a shame the sound mix is uneven. The male parts come across loud and clear, but the poor women. For instance, No. 9 Oh thou that tellest..., the soloist sounded like she was singing in an echo chamber far from the mike. This is one of the most disappointing versions of "The Messiah" I have heard in a long time.

This is a great recording!.......2000-02-11

I was really surprised with the new that the Messiah's New World premiere was held at Trinity Church in October 1770, twenty-eight years after it was written. This fact only will make one proud in having this CD among his collection.

Anyhow, this is nothing more than a historic detail and would not count if this recording had not an outstanding first-rate ensemble of singers. Without doubt there is no definitive version of Messiah. Each one has its own distinctive touch and feeling and exploring it is always a pleasant journey through imagination.

As stated by the conductor: "we must concede that performing Messiah with twenty singers and an appropriately balanced instrumental ensemble represents, at best, an imperfect comprimise", it will be easy to understand that this recording does not stand among the greatest and will probably carry some imperfections. I will mention two that kind of disppointed me a little bit. The Overture and the Chorus Worthy is the Lamb, for some reason misses the habitual vigor and strenght. Everything else is great and this is definitely a worth buying.

New Life with New Universe.......2004-05-01

This CD is a breath of fresh air. Lori Wilshire's soaring vocals, Micah's smooth harmonies backed by the tight, catchy, well orchestrated music is phenomenal. You can't help but tap your feet, strum some air guitar, and sing along. Excellent!

This is surprising..........2004-01-29

After seeing Wilshire in concert opening for Seal I took a chance on this CD. I can't stop listening to it. If people take notice and start listening Wilshire will be unstoppable. She has an amazing talent and the album is just loaded with good songs. I don't actually like the "hit" cut but better most of the other songs on the disc. You have to buy this.

Beautiful catchy pop-rock.......2004-01-27

Wilshire once again produces a memorable recorded gem on their 3rd CD, "New Universe". If you liked their first two, "Wilshire" and "Second Story," you can expect more excellent songwriting and masterful guitar-driven pop songs, along with higher production values this time around.

As noted by others, the first song, "Special," is a fantastic example of what this duo is capable of. I do wish there were a few more upbeat songs like it on the CD, but what we do get is still a finely crafted, memorable collection of pop-rock songs.

While both Lori & Micah possess great voices as soloists, it's when they blend them together that their talents truly begin to shine.

There are sweet songs, there are rock songs, there are pensive, sad songs, but my favorite has to be the absolutely beautful song, "Tonight." It's a slight reworking of the same song on "Second Story," and I actually prefer the original version, but it's still a gorgeous song no matter what. Pure perfection. Aaaah..

These two will be ones to watch from now on. If you want to know what pop music should sound like, buy this CD.

Promising pop/rock sound........2003-12-01

Wilshire's caught some flack for its Christian music background. It's true that some of Micah and Lori Wilshire's lyrics have an inspiration bend, but they also have enough musical hooks and arrangement smarts to make their "affiliation" an irrelevant question.

Lead single "Special" caught my ear for its unusually clean, slick pop/rock sound. I've never considered studio sheen to be a liability, necessarily, and I think the single sounds good aside from Lori Wilshire's overly cutely vocal high end on the verses. She has a strong voice and the dressy vocal flourishes seem unnecessary. She sounds much better when accessing her ballsy rock voice on soaring choruses. Unlike Shannon Curfman, for example, Lori Wilshire is able to sound rocky without resorting to Melissa Etheridge-style rock-mama cliches. And Micah Wilshire provides vocal diversity with good vocal support. Their songwriting is slightly uneven but this record contains a good number of potential hits: The catchy "Special"; the melodically twisty "Turn It Around", with its pretty harmonies; the appealing vocal duet "In Your Arms"; and the dreamy "Go On", possibly the most distinctive track on the record.

As with many acts of this ilk, Wilshire can use more sonic and emotional diversity. The clean, slick sonics which had made "Special" stand out to my ear at first also does become monotonous, with the same fat guitar tones, reverbed choruses and big rock drums from track to track. This is an act that has the basics of songwriting, hooks and vocal ability down pat, but could use a touch of eccentricity and experimentation.

music from The School Of How It's Done.......2003-11-10

This is definitely one of the year's best pop/rock albums released. As a fan of Wilshire's from their Nashville days, it doesn't surprise me that this is so. There's never a dull moment as Lori and Micah's voices weave effortlessly in and around non-formulaic melodies and chord progressions with a hint of Beatles influence thrown in for good measure. This is catchy, radio-worthy stuff without the stupidity, folks. Now if stations would just pick up the single, I'd be happy. The world needs to hear Wilshire and their kind of smart-pop needs to be moving up the charts.

While I can honestly say there isn't a single bum song on the album, my personal favorites are "Turn It Around", "Nothing Left To Lose", "When" and "Tonight" (which SHOULD be released as a single - the kids would eat it up as the best prom song since Bon Jovi's "Never Say Goodbye" - but probably won't be). I don't even know if I can tell you why except those particular songs move me a little extra.

Customer Reviews:

No Sophomore Slump Here!.......2001-07-30

After leaving Rocketown Records (Christian pop star Michael W. Smith's creation) following the release of their self-titled debut, Wilshire took some time to focus, write, and produce & record their sophomore project, aptly titled Second Story. With the freedom to talk about whatever they wanted, rock as loud as they wanted, and do whatever else the heck they wanted, this husband-wife duo created an authentic, imaginiative, fun, and yet intriguing album.

Lyrically, this album is more fun and edgy than the self-titled record, with Micah and Lori exploring helpless romance ("Fall"), depravity ("Shame"), doubt in God ("Angelina"), and utter surrender to God ("The Prayer"). Some of the lyrics are wistful, such as in "Brave," perhaps the best track on the record: "I've been down the yellow brick road, been searching for something to know that I can face another day." On the contrast, in "Be Yours," (my personal favorite) they funk things up lyrically, with lines like "I try to be strong, try to put up a fight / like a cartoon superman / when I think I'm alright, there's that kryptonite / and I see how weak I am" only to cry out in the chorus "take me, come invade me / please embrace me now / 'cause I just wanna be yours."

Musically, the record is much more layered and interesting than their previous effort. From opening rocker "Fall," to the simple acoustic-guitar-and-vocal closer, "Edward," Second Story shows just how talented and diverse Wilshire is. The record shows much more aggression and grit. But it's not all rock; Micah and Lori are excellent song craftsman, and have managed to build this aggressive rock sound over the canvas of funky pop. "Be Yours" is an excellent example of this.

Vocally, it's amazing. No other way to put it. While Micah doesn't sing as much this time around, it's incredible to hear the harmony this couple has. With peerless ranges and seamless vocal arrangements, one sometimes has a little touble figuring out who's who! But that's a good thing, believe me. They switch lead vocals (without changing keys or octaves) in several places, making for an pleasantly unpredictable alternative to most husband-wife duos.

If I had a complaint about Second Story it would be this: While each song is different and unique, Micah and Lori seem to have a fascination with pre-programed drum tracks doing the intros for songs. They have a similar sounding track opening "Not Alone," "Shame," and "Angelina." But that is a minor and ineffectual complaint in what is an astounding album.

Great CD!.......2001-01-21

I love this cd! Its so awesome to hear there voices blend together so perfectly. The first time I heard 'second story', I knew it was there best music yet. The songs are so catchy, they stick in my head all day long.

Never thought they could top the first cd...They did........2005-07-04

These guys are great. I was hesitant, after liking "Howlin' at the Moon" so much, to just get their next cd "Mumbo Jumbo". This band comes up with some strange names for cd's and the group, but don't let that fool you, this is quality stuff! Not only are these guys excellent at writing and performing, but they also have a good time too. Just listen and you can tell they are enjoying their work. This is a fun disk to listen to. I can't wait for the next one to come out. Read the review below mine, good review, more informative.

"Destined to be a classic of the Blues genre".......2004-06-19

Mumbo Jumbo
Reviewed by Dennis Walker

Alan Mirikitani, A.k.a. BB Chung King, is an L.A. legend on the electric guitar and the leader of one of L.A.'s most famous bands, The Buddaheads. A complete master of rock, blues, rhythm and blues, jazz, and pop, there are few who have ever played with his confidence, mastery, and impeccable taste. Guitar playing, however, is only a small part of his talent. He is also a commanding singer, a world-class song writer, having written for Shamekia Copeland, Curtis Salgado, Ruth Brown, Bettye Lavette, and many others, an accomplished producer, a brilliant arranger, and if that's not enough, a highly sought after engineer. Only DaVinci was as well-rounded. It is no surprise then, that his newest album, MUMBO JUMBO, combines all aspects of his immense talent and may very well become a classic of the genre.
Mirikitani's collection of 14 essentially guitar-driven compositions, give him plenty of room to shock, rock, and amaze with the intensity with his playing and the emotion in his voice. The songs are all extremely well-written with great melodies and hooks. In addition, they have a directness and simplicity, with lyrics that paint colorful pictures and evoke heartfelt emotions, from pain to joy, from the blues to raw, aggressive party time feel and ends with a soft love-filled ode to his youngest son, William.
Mirikitani is backed on Mumbo Jumbo by Lee Spath on drums, Boyd Lefan on electric bass and also gets a little help from some very classy friends.
