Neeme Järvi - conductor

That these symphonies are not more famous than they are simply amazes me. Prokofiev understood the nature of symphonic writing, and after the dainty cuteness of Symphony 1, he was ready to make his own mark. The Symphony 3 (1929) begins with a brash sense of alarm, then becomes quieter, more operatic in nature. And the composer's weird clashing harmonies are throughout the piece. Two versions of the Symphony 4 (1940) exist. This is the original version, which is shorter than the latter 1940 version. Neeme Järvi and the SNO have recorded the entire series for Chandos, and these are the ones to have. -- Paul Cook

Artist: Mel Torme
Title: Swingin' On The Moon

Swingin' on the Moon is a 1960 album by Mel Tormé. The Moon is the connecting theme, and every track, but one, contains the word "Moon" in the title.
Swingin' on the Moon marks a bridge between Mel Tormé's excellent jazzy outings of the 1950s and the generally pop-oriented, novelty recordings of the '60s. Recorded over three days in August 1960, the album contains few standards, substituting instead lesser numbers which all contain the word "moon" in the title (including Tormé's own title song, which opens the set). Though he is in fine voice and the arrangements by Russ Garcia are solid, Tormé just can't come to grips with the lesser material, and the album is quite forgettable. It was released on Verve, which made it a jazz LP in theory, but Swingin' on the Moon can be consigned to the section of pop history which includes novelty "theme" albums arranged around a usually simple subject. This album should not be confused with the LaserLight collection titled Swinging on the Moon.

Victor Herbert, Irish by birth, moved to Germany when he was eight and came to America when both he and his wife landed gigs with the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra in New York. Operetta was plainly his strength, and his works in that medium remain his best known. But he soaked up enough of the German tradition (in 1883 he played in a tribute concert to Liszt, with Brahms of all people conducting) to want to write serious music, and he notched several major disasters in that field. That in turn has led to neglect of smaller works like the ones on this album, which contains several gems. No less a figure than Dvorák realized that Herbert wrote effectively for the cello, and the seven pieces for violoncello and string orchestra heard here, even if arranged from earlier cello-and-piano or solo piano works, are delightful pieces that would enlighten any collegiate recital. They were composed in New York in the years after 1900, when Herbert was already gaining renown as a theatrical composer, and they play on the listener's expectation that the cello will simply take the place of a vocal melody: sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes it does but then does things only an instrument can do. Cellist Maximilian Hornung gives lively performances. The five-movement Serenade for string orchestra, Op. 12 (1889), with its central "Liebes-Scene," is a pleasant mixture of Brahmsian idioms, and don't miss the final "Sunset" movement of the Three Pieces for string orchestra, published by G. Schirmer in New York in 1912. It's a gorgeous example of Herbert's gift for sheer melody, and it's all but unknown. The Südwestdeutsches Kammerorchester Pforzheim under Sebastian Tewinkel occasionally lacks smoothness in the strings and makes you want to hear what could be done with this music in the hands of the Boston Pops, but now that it has been resuscitated, that's all the more likely to occur.

With last year's Gondwana Orchestra album When The World Was One, northern trumpeter and composer Matthew Halsall eloquently blended the tranquil tone-poetry of Alice Coltrane and the jazz intensity of her husband, John, with sounds of a kindred spirit from Japan and the east. Into Forever expands that lineup with a string quartet and the gospel and R&B-infused sound of the powerful Manchester vocalist Josephine Oniyama. Halsall's jazz sensibilities constantly lead him to energise the gentlest passages with contrastingly prodding bass hooks, tough drum patterns and rimshot snaps (as on The Land Of), McCoy Tyner-like piano lines edging through Rachael Gladwin's harp swoops (Badder Weather), or his own unhurried trumpet reflections, as on Daan Park. The Gondwana Orchestra's sound palette is frequently gorgeous, and Oniyama's dramatic presence will undoubtedly broaden their appeal, even if the directness of lyrics may diminish some of their earlier ethereal attraction for some.

Up Your Mind is the American debut by soul-blues singer/songwriter Ellis Hooks. Originally hailing from Mobile, AL, he was an itinerant musician, scrambling and scuffling across the globe, often as a busker. His debut album, Undeniable, garnered a slew of attention on the other side of the Atlantic and has afforded him the notoriety and critical acclaim to play the Montreux Jazz Festival and the esteemed Poretta Festival in Italy. Hooks resides in New York and is remaking music in his own image by using and fusing traditional elements from soul, rock, and the Mississippi Delta played in a direct, gritty manner. Hooks doesn't sift and he doesn't blend, he sculpts and shapes, leaving the rough grain on the surface to admire. Hooks and veteran producer Jon Tiven offer a streetwise, passion-filled toughness in their deep, sensual mix. Hooks has a voice that owes a great debt to Otis Redding first and Wilson Pickett second (who Tiven produced for many years), and an approach in his songwriting that is eclectic, knotty, and groove-solid. Up Your Mind's 13 songs run the gamut from the funky, dirty city blues of the opener "Ridin' With Fire" (with a distinct guitar line that comes straight outta "Rock & Roll Hoochie Koo") to the Muscle Shoals-strolling soul groove Ã* la Eddie Hinton of "Controlling Picasso" and the swollen, smoky, deeply sensual roil of "Down for the Last Time." Here, stinging guitars and Hammond B3's crisscross under a heavily reverbed vocal with a double-timed rhythm track that is ready for remixing by DJs in clubs all over the world. (Don't be surprised if it ends up on a Gilles Peterson mix in the near future.) But still there's more; the straight-up Godfather of Soul funk in "Last Chance for Happiness" is over the top and down in the grease with a nasty rhythm and snarling vocal. The elasticity in the grain of Hooks' voice is astonishing, and he could wrap emotion around the words on the back of a cereal box. Like those before him, his vocal gift is in his ability to make every song he sings the last one on earth. An added treat on this slab is "Man of the Blues," a chilling autobiographical tome. With its ragged slide guitar blues, Hooks duets with Freddie Scott, who sounds here like Pops Staples at his rowdiest. Hooks' own lines are full of razor wire and tears; they offer a dark story with a redemptive ending. Tiven's guitar playing is stellar and in the pocket, leading the singers just a bit into each line before exploding with a fill. Up Your Mind is the sound of a monstrously talented individual who may be coming to the populace as a newcomer but carries in his voice the authority and lineage of the entire Southern soul and blues traditions. Up Your Mind is an outstanding release that deserves to be shortlisted for the Handy Award.~ Thom Jurek
