Stereo Action Orchestra - Thrill To The Exciting Sounds Of Stereo Spectacular [1972] + Stereo Spectacular Vol. 2 [1973] + Stereo Spectacular Vol. 3 [1974] (3 x CDs)

EASY LISTENING

Stereo Action Orchestra - Thrill To The Exciting Sounds Of Stereo Spectacular [1972] + Stereo Spectacular Vol. 2 [1973] + Stereo Spectacular Vol. 3 [1974] (3 x CDs)

It usually starts with the soundstage on a set like this. Put on Thrill To The Exciting Sounds Of Stereo Spectacular, and the left and right channels feel like part of the arrangement, not just a place where the music sits. Across the three volumes, the idea stays consistent, Stereo Spectacular Vol. 2 and Stereo Spectacular Vol. 3 build on that same approach, treating stereo as something to be heard as clearly as the instruments themselves.

The selections move through familiar material, film themes, pop standards, light orchestral pieces, but the focus is less on the source and more on presentation. Brass comes in from one side, strings answer from the other, percussion sits slightly behind, then shifts forward. The arrangements are clean and deliberate, designed to show movement as much as melody.

Across the three volumes, the pacing stays measured. Tracks are concise, often structured to make their point quickly, then give way to the next example. What changes is the subtle variation in texture. One piece leans into brighter orchestration, another holds back, allowing space between the sections. The effect builds through repetition, the same techniques returning in slightly different forms.

By the time the third volume settles in, the idea feels fully formed. The music is still familiar, but the way it is placed in space becomes the main thread. Left to play, the set works less as a collection of songs and more as a demonstration of how recordings were meant to be heard when stereo itself was still part of the attraction, clear, separated, and quietly precise.

Al Cohn, Joe Newman & Freddie Green - Mosaic Select 27 [2007] (3 x CDs)

JAZZ SUNDAY

AL COHN, JOE NEWMAN & FREDDIE GREEN

Al Cohn, Joe Newman & Freddie Green - Mosaic Select 27 [2007] (3 x CDs)

The easiest way into Mosaic Select 27 Al Cohn Joe Newman Freddie Green is to treat each disc as a shift in perspective rather than a step forward. Issued by Mosaic Records in 2007, the set brings together sessions led by Al Cohn, Joe Newman, and Freddie Green, each moving within the same swing-based language but from slightly different angles.

It makes sense to begin with the rhythm. Green’s guitar, often understated, sits at the centre of the feel, even when he is not leading. The pulse stays steady, the phrasing relaxed, and the ensembles leave enough space for the music to breathe. From there, the tone shifts depending on who steps forward. Cohn’s tenor lines move easily through the arrangements, while Newman’s trumpet brings a brighter, more defined edge.

The sequencing does not separate these voices too sharply. Instead, it lets them overlap across the discs, creating a continuity that feels more like a shared environment than three distinct statements. Small group settings sit alongside slightly larger arrangements, but the balance remains consistent, structure and flexibility working together.

What becomes noticeable after a longer listen is how little the music needs to announce itself. Tempos vary, solos come and go, but the underlying approach holds. The set does not build toward a peak or a conclusion. It maintains its ground, letting each performance settle before moving on.

Left to play, it feels less like a collection of sessions and more like a steady run of musicians working within a language they understand completely, returning to it from different directions without needing to change it. (B)

26 John Scofield - Faded Love (2016 Instrumental)

"Faded Love", a sentimental song about lost love, is a Western Swing song written by Bob Wills, his father John Wills and his brother, Billy Jack Wills.

The song was a major hit for Bob Wills And The Texas Playboys (MGM 10786), reaching number eight on the country charts in 1950 and it became one of his signature songs.

The melody of “Faded Love” came and it’s nearly identical with the ballad "Darling Nelly Gray", composed by Benjamin Hanby in 1856, which John Wills knew as a fiddle tune.

The tune was subsequently used by Geordie music hall singer Joe Wilson to set his song “Keep Yor Feet Still Geordie Hinny” and by trade union activist and Industrial Workers of the World member Ralph Chaplin, to set “The Commonwealth Of Toil” song.

 Diggin’ around, I followed the time marks and set all the four songs in the best possible chronological order they were recorded, making a not mixed compilation which I hope you'll enjoy!

These are sweeping, haunting and majestic, what you would expect from a musical score, and will place you right back in front of the silver screen.

VA - Right Back Where We Started From, Female Pop And Soul In Seventies Britain [2020] (3 x CDs)

Pop

VA - Right Back Where We Started From, Female Pop And Soul In Seventies Britain [2020] (3 x CDs)

The first thing that settles in with Right Back Where We Started From Female Pop And Soul In Seventies Britain is the voice, or more accurately, how many different ways a voice can sit inside a similar frame. Issued by Grapefruit Records in 2020, the set brings together recordings that share a time and place, but not always the same intention.

A few tracks in, the pattern begins to show. The arrangements tend to stay measured, strings, rhythm section, light studio polish, but the delivery shifts from singer to singer. Some performances are direct and uncluttered, others lean into phrasing and texture, stretching the line slightly without breaking it. The changes are subtle, but they accumulate.

Names pass through naturally. Dusty Springfield brings a deeper tone that settles into the arrangement, while Cilla Black keeps things closer to a pop structure. Elsewhere, Dana delivers with a lighter touch, sitting neatly within the production rather than pushing against it.

The sequencing doesn’t force contrast. Instead, it lets similar tempos and styles sit side by side, which makes the differences easier to notice over time. A fuller arrangement might be followed by something more restrained, then return again without shifting the overall balance.

By the later stretch, the set feels less like a collection of individual tracks and more like a continuous run of recordings shaped by the same studio environment. The details change, the voices move in and out, but the atmosphere holds, steady, unhurried, and easy to return to when the mood fits. (B)
