| 1. |  | Broadway - The American Musical (PBS Series) from Sony Price: $49.99 Customer Review:  Of course there should have been much more. I remember there been a Metropolian Opera series called CAST ALBUMS- 100 YEARS that was put out for a limited time only and had like five volumes. As Peter Filichia noted they left out SHE LOVES ME, BRIGADOON and SWEENEY TODD. Also nothing from... |

| 2. |  | Lesson No. 1 by Glenn Branca Price: $13.98 Customer Review:  first, you should know that there is also a "bonus quicktime video track" on the cd. or maybe it's not on all copies. anyway, if you're not familiar with branca, pop the disc into your computer as soon as possible. it's a 16 and a half minute live performance of "symphony no. 5" conducted by branca.... |

| 3. |  | The Big Gundown: John Zorn Plays the Music of Ennio Morricone from Tzadik Price: $16.98 Customer Review: I bought this to fill out my "jazz core collection" as noted in The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings: Eighth Edition (Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings) (I'm working from both ends now), and I expected jazz. This is some kind of avant garde, fancy jazz, but not what I was hoping for, and not what I... |

| 4. |  | Play It Cool by Lea DeLaria Price: $18.98 Customer Review:  I wish Delaria would put out more albums like this one. Her voice and interpretation of the songs on the album are really great and withstand lots of repeat plays. Highly recommended. Many of the cuts are worth 5 stars, but I didn't really like all of her song choices, so that's why I rated the... |

| 5. |  | Gershwin's World from Verve Price: $18.98 Customer Review: Herbie just won another Grammy last week with River: the Joni Letters, so I thought I'd come back to this, his last project on Verve. You won't find so much of standard tribute fare on Gershwin's World. It's more of a theme for some real creativity. There are two rhythmic fragments (including... |

| 6. |  | Music Romance, Vol. 1: Music for Children from Tzadik Price: $16.98 Customer Review: This CD nicely compacts the range of John Zorn. With pieces like "Bikini Atoll" and "Bone Crusher," Zorn shows his thrash side, also giving Prelapse, a sharp little band who would bill themselves as performers of "John Zorn's unrecorded music," a little nod with their first recorded outing. (It may... |

| 8. |  | Extreme Guitar Project from Mode Price: $17.98 | |
| 9. |  | Film Works 1986-1990 from Tzadik Price: $16.98 Customer Review: A strong, diverse first entry into his gigantic Film Works series finds the always-eclectic composer offering up an ultra diverse sampler from three of some of Zorn's earliest independent movie scorings. A few tracks are rough around the edges, but when that is not working in any piece's favor, the... |

| 10. |  | Sephardic Tinge by Anthony Coleman Trio Price: $16.98 Customer Review: This recording features John Zorn's frequent collaborator, the pianist Anthony Coleman, in a trio with Greg Cohen & Joey Baron. In Zorn's groups Coleman was often employed because of his ability to switch quickly between different styles--there's a memorable moment on _Spillane_, for instance,... |

| 11. |  | Duras: Duchamp from Tzadik Price: $16.98 Customer Review: this recording can best be described as chamber music, a tribute to a couple of french artists, marguerite duras, author, and marcel duchamp, conceptual artist, in his case, his last work, etant donnes. the piece, duras, is as much a tribute to french composer, olivier messiaen, as duras, so... |

| 12. |  | The Best of Film Works: 20 Years of Soundtrack Music from Tzadik Price: $16.98 Customer Review: Over the past twenty years or so, John Zorn has built up an enormous library of composition for film, released on sixteen CDs (cleverly titled "Filmworks I", "Filmworks II", and so on...) on his Tzadik record label. For a neophyte, this can be a bit much to tackle, as such, this album, "Filmworks... |

| 13. |  | Film Works VIII: 1997 from Tzadik Price: $16.98 Customer Review: "Filmworks VIII" is the soundtrack for two films-- "Port of Last Resort", a documentary about Jews fleeing Nazi Germany for Shanghai and "Latin Boys Go To Hell", which I confess I have no idea what it is. For "Port of Last Resort", Zorn hit on the brilliant idea of exploring his Masada songbook... |

| 15. |  | One Hundred Aspects of the Moon from Tzadik Price: $16.98 Customer Review: Ikue Mori is one of those special artists that blow me away with everything they do. From her dark, nightmarish ambient improvs with Fred Frith and Kato Hideki (Death Ambient), to her outlandish electronica masterpiece _Labyrinth_, to her insane improvisations with John Zorn and Mike Patton, she... |

| 16. |  | Shmutsige Magnaten: Coleman Plays Gebirtig by Anthony Coleman Price: $16.98 Customer Review: Anthony Coleman's interpretation of Mordecai Gebertig will get anybody's attention by the second tune, 'Mamenyu An Eytse'(Yiddish for 'Mama,I Need Your Advice');he locks you in for some very nice melody-then drops the roof on your head.Gebertig coulda been a very big name composing tunes for say,The... |

| 17. |  | Igor Stravinsky: Oedipus Rex; The Firebird from EMI Classics Price: $11.98 | |
| 18. |  | Mystery/Death Praxis from Tzadik Price: $16.98 Customer Review: A really fine recording. Ikue Mori, the avant garde's master of the drum machine (!), a longtime Zorn collaborator and someone sorely underappreciated as a composer -- she's brilliant -- joins with Japanese vocalist Tenko to interpret in music the writings of several feminist (or at least female)... |

| 19. |  | Soundtracks II from Tzadik Price: $16.98 Customer Review: . . . but what else should we expect from music composed specifically for movie soundtracts? A not inapt comparison might be the soundtracts Ry Cooder has composed and performed. Always entirely suited to the particular films they're written for, they nevertheless fall somewhat short of his best... |

| 22. |  | Scelsi Morning from Tzadik Price: $16.98 Customer Review: Scelsi Morning finds guitarist Marc Ribot exploring the possibilities of "classical" forms in adherence to the rhythms of modern dance. The tracks on this album are taken from scores Ribot wrote to accompany both Wim Vanderheybus dance piece Inasmuch as Life is Borrowed and Yoshiko Chuma's Reverse... |

| 26. | [no image] | Stravinsky: Oedipus Rex from Capitol Customer Review: Stravinsky exploded on the world with his three early ballets, "The Firebird", "Petroushka", and "The Rite of Spring". He wrote smaller works during the First World War, for obvious reasons. He settled in Paris and there all things Greek were all the rage. The prolific and influential Jean Cocteau... |

| 29. |  | Selfhaters by Anthony Coleman Price: $16.98 Customer Review: Selfhaters is a study in Jewish self-hatred, issued on Tzadik Records' Radical Jewish Culture series. And it is no doubt some of the most radical takes on big band music that you will ever get to hear (Ellington fans might have a hard time to cope with Anthony Colemans vision of Jewish alienation... |

| 30. |  | New Traditions in East Asian Bar Bands from Tzadik Price: $16.98 Customer Review: "New Traditions in East Asian Bar Bands" is a recording of three of John Zorn's later Game Pieces. For those unfamiliar, the Game Pieces are essentially a series of rules for a group to improvise with-- nothing is precomposed, but a set of cues are used to indicate change in direction in... |
