music review

SWR Music has issued a delightful CD of one-of-a-kind singer Cathy Berberian titled “Folk Songs of the World.”

“The Decca Sound: 55 Great Vocal Recitals” is a deluxe box set that presents many of the leading singers of classical music recorded between 1950 and 2010.

Saxophonist Charles Lloyd rose to prominence in the 1960s when his album, “Forest Flower” sold over one million copies.

If you listened to Adam Ben Ezra’s live one-man musical performance with your eyes closed, you’d swear there were several musicians on stage.

Three piece garage rockers The Ettes are grinning, keys in hand, in the driver’s seat of a 1960s beat flashback trip gassed by guitar fuzz pedals and a twisty White Stripes soaked thump. Bass heavy, tambourine juiced, and fronted by the chic rocker hum of female vocalist Coco Hames, The Ettes are sonic jive dealers hip with a soulful, stylish realm of cool.
