Excerpts from an Online Dating Service $19.18 How many jazz records do you know of that should come with a parental warning sticker? For his debut release, 23-year-old composer Nicholas Urie has assembled a big and talented ensemble to perform his settings of texts lifted from casual online dating services. These lyrics — and some definitely have rhyme, rhythm, and literary invention — range from desperate to creepy, obvious to double entendre, and cover a couple of surprising fetishes (“Does anybody want/To pretend that they’re/A robot?” — “Interlude #2″). Beyond the unusual topic and crude lyrics — approached straightforwardly and non-judgmentally, as mere artifacts of a facet of modern society — stands Urie’s songwriting. And that’s where the real surprise lies: this youngster has a cunning sense for warped brass band music. Pieces like “Wayne” “Cougar Seeks Prey,” and “Bad Girl” pull from all the strengths of the 17-piece band (18 with the inclusion of special guest Chris Speed on the last two tracks), throwing in the kitchen sink, for a wild ride through fast-paced heads, cluttered yet thrilling arrangements, and moments of yearning beauty. Christine Correa could probably make any graffiti sound like a love letter; her voice plays a key role in imparting credibility to the whole artistic approach behind this album. The seasoned rhythm section of Frank Carlberg (piano), Joe Martin (bass), and Michael Calabrese (drums) play a similar role on the instrumental front. Between the two are 13 horn players, Bill McHenry, and John Carlson getting the higher-profile solos. For a debut, Excerpts from an Online Dating Service is pretty amazing. The only weak points are found early into the album: “About Me” is a bit too circus-like to serve its purpose, and the “Overture,” an instrumental collage of themes from the album’s pieces, is downright tacky. However, the rest of this is gold. ~ François Couture, Rovi |

Northern Lights: English Cello Sonatas, 1920-1950 $14.38 Northern Lights, an album by cellist Emma Ferrand and pianist Jeremy Young, gets off on the right foot with a well-planned program of rarely (if ever) heard English cello sonatas. Tying all of these works together is the aftermath of the First World War and English cellist Carl Fuchs. Extremely active as a performer and pedagogue, Fuchs was a direct or indirect influence to each of the composers heard on this disc. The album opens with the surprisingly dark and ominous G minor Sonata of John Ireland, a work that will appear stunningly tumultuous and indulgent for listeners familiar with Ireland’s more conservative vocal works. The disc continues with premiere recordings of a sonata by Edgar Bainton and a Ballade for Cello and Piano by Cyril Scott. Both of these works definitely lean toward the chromatically infused neo-Romantic, and, like the Ireland, are both rather indulgent compositions. By far the most successful and compelling piece on the program is the Rawsthorne Sonata. Rawsthorne’s chamber music output was rather large, and this sonata demonstrates his keen insights into harmony and dialogue between the two instruments. Ferrand’s performances of these somewhat obscure sonatas are good but not great. Intonation is often approximated and large shifts are completed with a slide so often that it becomes ineffective. Ferrand’s sound is not as dominant as some might hope, often being obscured behind the piano. Still, cello enthusiasts will welcome the addition of new repertoire into their libraries. ~ Mike D. Brownell, Rovi Performers: Emma Ferrand – Cello; Jeremy Young – Piano |
