Terence Blanchard: A Tale of God's Will (A Requiem for Katrina)
Elegaic but not depressing, virtuosic but not showy, engaged but not polemical, angry but not wrathful. This beautiful album reminds me of Miles' Sketches of Spain or Kind Of Blue--than which there can be no higher praise--but with a Big Easy flavor. My #1 for 2007. (*****)Patty Griffin: Children Running Through
My #1 album of the year until recently. The songs may be a little weaker than on her past releases, but her voice is as powerful and impassioned as any I've heard in popular music in a long time and her producers wisely chose to put it front and center. A stunner. (*****)The Bad Plus: Prog
Piano trio becomes a power trio. Is it jazz or rock? Yes! (****)Louis Philippe: Sunshine
This and his Azure are my most recent obsessions. Flawless, beautiful songs that carry echoes of Pet Sounds, Bacharach, Tropicalismo and French pop. (****)Wilco: Sky Blue Sky
Nels Cline woke this band up. Their paired guitar workouts that remind me of Derek and the Dominos or the Joe Walsh era Eagles might overshadow the songs, but are so good you don't mind. (****)
