My Museum
$16.99

"My Museum" is the second Phil Kelly big band CD. His first, "Convergence Zone", was nominated for a Grammy. This one is better. Kelly has had a long career writing and arranging for everything from big bands (including Bill Watrous and Doc Severinsen) to symphonic/pop music and just about everything in between. Now semi-retired, he seems to be focusing on big band jazz--and that's great news for the fans of this genre.

The tracks on the CD vary from terrific to just plain spectacular. With nine tracks in total, including three established standards ("Jeannine", "Body and Soul" and "Daydream") and a bunch of originals, Kelly gives us a variety of styles that still fit well into a coherent package. You'll hear contemporary big band swing, blues, funk, a mesmerizing ballad and a Maria Schneider-like tone poem, all beautifully arranged and played to perfection. And the band, put together with the help of lead trumpeter Wayne Bergeron, reads like a who's who of some of the finest jazz musicians in Los Angeles- with a few imports from Kelly's home territory in the Pacific Northwest. All of the soloists, including Andy Martin, Bob Summers, Pete Christlieb, Jay Thomas, Bill Ramsay, Brian Scanlon, Grant Geissman and Bill Cunliffe perform flawlessly. I am especially enamored with Andy Martin's trombone work. He's about as good as it gets.

Although it's hard to pick favorites, "Jeannine", "Bluelonius", "My Museum", "Body and Soul" and "It's a Lazy Afternoon" stand out for me. Kelly's arrangement of "Jeannine" starts with the trombone section and leads to fine solos by Bob Summers (trumpet), Andy Martin (trombone) and Pete Christlieb (tenor). As the title suggests, "Bluelonius" is an angular blues piece in the Thelonious Monk tradition. It combines the best of the Monk style with a modern interpretation and features another set of fine solos. The ballad "My Museum" features vocalist Greta Matassa and strings. The combination of singer and strings is something that I normally wouldn't care for; however, this is an amazing haunting ballad arranged with inspiration and sung to perfection. "My Museum" could be a new standard in the making if there are enough vocalists out there who can perform it like Matassa does. "Body and Soul" features baritone saxophonist Bill Ramsay stretching out for six minutes with a melodic, swinging solo that Coleman Hawkins would be proud of, and a very clever arrangement that includes several quotes. In particular, the "St. Thomas" quote appears frequently and is so well integrated into the arrangement that it almost becomes an essential part of the piece. Finally, "It's a Lazy Afternoon" is very much in the Maria Schneider mold- melodic and rich- more like orchestral jazz than big band jazz. There are nice solos here by Bill Cunliffe (piano) and Grant Geissman (guitar).

I suspect that Kelly's many years of writing orchestral music contributed a lot to the success of this album. The arrangements are richer than what you'll hear from most big bands, with more depth and subtle complexity- but they still swing like crazy. Combine that with a collection of great tunes and a first-rate band and you get one of the best big band albums in the last couple of years. If you are a big band enthusiast, this is a "must buy". If you're not, give it a listen and you may change your mind! Let's hope Phil Kelly stays "retired" for a long, long time.

Regular Blue Corn Meal, A finely ground whole grain that is perfect for all corn meal recipes.
$3.75
This was smaller than I expected and finer, but it was very good. I used it to make corn bread and even mixed with spelt for pancakes (my husband and I agreed we'd do the pancakes WITHOUT corn meal next time). The corn bread was very yummy even though it looked a little odd (the color).
