VA - The Fabulous Baker Boys (OST)

An inspired casting gimmick, a wonderful mood, a grown-up love story--all this in The Fabulous Baker Boys, but the only thing anybody ever talks about is Michelle Pfeiffer on top of a piano. Granted, it's a showstopper: clad in a slinky dress, Pfeiffer rolls around on the Steinway while she purrs out a languid version of "Makin' Whoopee." Adding to the seductive vibe is the fact that she's not singing to the audience, but to the sullen piano player (Jeff Bridges) whose fancy she has captured. Bridges and his real-life brother, Beau, play two lounge entertainers whose act has grown stale; they're not above doing "Feelings" for the tourist crowd. They've hired songbird Pfeiffer (who does her own sexy singing) to spice up the routine, a strategy that pays off in spades. The three actors are terrific, with the fabulous Bridges boys playing neatly off their own sibling rhythms. Writer-director Steve Kloves captures the feel of second-rate Seattle clubs, and Dave Grusin's jazzy score keeps propelling the film forward. Grusin does an excellent job of arranging the score. He knows how to create a mood with the music he plays. In fact, when you listen to the second track, Welcome to the Road, it takes you to where Suzie, Frank & Jack are hitting the road to play a gig over New Year's Eve. Grusin has wonderful way of conveying a moment through music whether it is a very serious pivotal moment as in track 8, The Moment of Truth, or a frantic moment as in track 4, Shop Till You Drop. Grusin is awesome.

DeBarge consists of 5 siblings:Mark (or "Marty"), James, Randy, and Eldra (or "El"), and their sister Bunny. Debarge had strong Harmonys and so many memorable songs that are timeless. All this Love, Time will reveal, Who's Holding Donna Now, I Like It, The Heart Is Not So Smart, Love Me in a Special Way and of course the unforgettable Rhythm Of The Night, are songs that will always sound Great.

David Foster - The Best Of Me (1983) [ Rare ]

This one's really hard to find. It's the classic album that placed David Foster in the place he's at today. There are some notes about this album. The Best Of Me in this album sung by David alone, without Olivia Newton John, like the version we all are familiar of. Then, there's Love At Second Sight, duet with Vicki Moss, only appeared in this 1983 album. (later in 1985 when this album was re-released, i dont know why, this song was gone from the list). There are some classic instrumental songs in this album that would be hard to find anywhere else. Another note, after this album, some songs had other versions with new arrangement or new vocalists. So, this is a classic album, and you gotta have it. enjoy!

Love At Second Sight (with Vicki Moss)
Hard To Say I'm Sorry (instrumental)
Our Romance (instrumental)

Minnie Riperton Discography (Some are very rare!)

There was a singer with amazing range of vocal that started her career long before Mariah Carey was even born. Minnie Riperton had the ability to execute trills, runs and other vocal acrobatics in whistle register. Minnie Riperton was capable to sing easily in an unbelievable five and a half-octave vocal range,but reportedly could access the seventh octave and played with it. Her Piccolo Coloratura Soprano voice type was just unbelievable. The only soul singer to rival her range is Mariah Carey, although singers like Rachelle Ferrell, Shanice Wilson, Chanté Moore, or Christina Aguilera have demonstrated Some of the techniques that made Minnie so popular.She was known to score her greatest commercial success with the memorable hits: Lovin’ You.

In 1976, at the age of twenty-eight, Riperton was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a radical mastectomy. In 1977 Riperton became the first black female to serve as spokesperson for the American Cancer Society and to receive the Society's Courage Award from then-President Jimmy Carter. On Thursday July 12, 1979, at the age of 31, Riperton lost her valiant struggle with cancer. She died peacefully in her husband's arms while listening to a recording of a song Stevie Wonder had written for her.

What set Minnie Riperton apart from many other singers capable of the whistle register is her ability to sound almost mechanical or instrumental, as well as her ability to clearly enunciate clearly well above Soprano High C. In You Take My Breath Away, She sounds almost like feedback on a microphone. In Here We Go, Minnie chirps the phrase Here We Go with Perfect diction, Despite the notes very lofty altitude. All her musical legacy is survived by her husband, son and daughter. The note at the bottom of her headstone described her perfectly. “Hers was a gift of love, a miracle of life, for all the world to see and hear forever.” She may gone to soon, but will never forgotten.

Janet Jackson - Discipline (2008)

Janet Jackson's back. This 2008 album is "A PASSION FOR DISCIPLINE" by Janet "It's the idea that unifies the songs on this record. As a concept, and even a lifestyle, discipline goes extremely deep. It can be applied to so much about ourselves. In my case,I see it as one of defining aspects of my character. Discipline was there for me from the start. But it was not until this record that I began to understand its full meaning. "In putting Discipline out front -- as both the title of the album and title of a song about sexual surrender -- I wanted to announce that I was venturing into new creative waters. That meant working with producers like Jermaine Dupri, Rodney Jerkins, and Ne-Yo, whose songs spoke to the immediacy of my emotions. Like all my records, this one, whether intentional or not, has autobiographical roots. It's difficult for me to work any other way. I don't feel it, if I don't believe it, I can't sing it.

"So Discipline, as a storyline, begins in my childhood which someone could see as a classic study in discipline. Discipline was part of a family culture that I absorbed. I was born with it.

DISCIPLINE, Janet Jackson's new album - and the 10th studio album of her career - is scheduled to arrive in stores on February 26th. In addition to Rodney Jerkins, the new album brings together an A-list of guest producers, including Jermaine Dupri, Ne-Yo, Stargate, Tricky Stewart, and The-Dream. DISCIPLINE was executive produced by Antonio "L.A." Reid, Chairman, Island Def Jam Music Group.

David Benoit - American Landscape

Long before his GRP days, when pianist David Benoit began adding electronics to his albums, he scored TV shows and recorded albums of acoustic piano and strings. Back then, he was known not so much for his playing but for his composing and arranging. On his first release for GRP, 1987's Freedom at Midnight, Benoit composed and arranged "Morning Sojourn," showcasing an articulate contemporary horn-and-string arrangement reminiscent of the symphony-meets-the-Wild-West style of his mentor, Dave Grusin. And though he has yet to do an entire album of piano and strings, Benoit consistently reminds us of his expertise in this area on a track or two of his recent albums. "A Personal Story" from 1997's American Landscape offers a good example.The CD contains soothing jazz piano music that is great for listening alone or when caught in traffic. Will calm your nerves down. GREAT GREAT PIANO CHORDS by David Benoit.

Eden Atwood - This Is Always : Ballad Session (2004)

A fine interpreter of lyrics, Eden Atwood started off her jazz career with a series of excellent recordings for Concord. Raised in Montana, Atwood studied drama and musical theater at college but became interested in jazz, and at 19 she began singing locally. Although she worked as a model and an actress, Atwood has focused her attentions on singing. What's special about her is, she interpret songs in the simple way, but still with high standard. The songs appear smooth, relaxing and refreshing. Imagine yourself sitting in a jazz cafe, having the time of your life, accompanied by a beautiful lady singing on stage with piano and small band that play soft and smooth and full with sensitivity as a background..Eden Atwood will definately make your dream come true. So if you're into smooth jazz vocal in the way Jane Monheit does, this one will also be loved.

John Mayer Discography... and More!

John Mayer

After a short-lived stint at the Berklee College of Music, where he had a "great learning experience, but not because of class," John Mayer set down roots in Atlanta, where his music career hit the ground running. After one year in Atlanta, he released his debut solo album, Inside Wants Out, in 1999. At the same time, he became a regular in the Atlanta club circuit, playing a steady stream of shows at venues like Eddie's Attic. An appearance in March 2000 at the South by Southwest Music Festival led to a recording contract with Aware Records, a subsidiary of Columbia. He began recording his major-label debut, Room for Squares, that fall with producer John Alagia, who had previously worked with artists like Dave Matthews and the Ben Folds Five.

Mayer's first album had been a decidedly acoustic effort; in contrast, Room for Squares featured a full electric band and showed the work of its producer with its funky hooks and an emphasis placed on Mayer's versatile, smooth voice, which bore more than just a stylistic resemblance to Dave Matthews. Columbia re-released Room for Squares in the summer of 2001, adding one bonus track, and also offered a very limited-edition two-CD set including a disc with two previously unreleased covers. Mayer's dedicated fan base grew substantially larger during his first cross-country tour to support the album, spawning a number of CD-R trading outlets through fan websites, as well as a successful live album, Any Given Thursday. Mayer's lucrative follow-up, 2004's Heavier Things, resulted in another Grammy, this time for Song of the Year. Looking to strip his sound down, he formed the John Mayer Trio with drummer Steve Jordan and bassist Pino Palladino. Their sold-out tour was documented on the 2005 release Try! John Mayer Trio Live in Concert. Continuum arrived the following year. ~ Stacia Proefrock, All Music Guide
