David Gilmour About Face [Remastered] (SONY, CD, 1990)
David Gilmour released his second solo venture in 1984, following the apparent dissolution of Pink Floyd. He had released a record on his own in 1978, but About Face is much more accessible. Gilmour has a stellar band backing him, including Jeff Porcaro (drums), Pino Palladino (bass), and Anne Dudley (synthesizer). The songs on About Face show a pop sensibility that Pink Floyd rarely was concerned with achieving. Although the album didn't attract the attention of a Floyd release, several cuts did manage to get airplay. "Until We Sleep" is rife with shimmering synthesizers and cavernous drums, and "Blue Light" was a minor pop hit, with Gilmour's trademark delay-drenched guitar giving way to a driving, horn-laced rocker. Pete Townshend wrote two of the tracks: "Love on the Air" and the propulsive "All Lovers Are Deranged." Of course, there's more than enough of Gilmour's fluid guitar playing to satisfy, including the gorgeous "Murder," a gentle acoustic track that explodes with some fiery organ by Steve Winwood and concludes with a fierce coda. About Face is well-honed rock album that is riveting from beginning to end.

Vivaldi Cello Sonatas – Roel Dieltiens & Ensemble Explorations (Etcetera, CD, 2010)
Antonio Vivaldi had his own cello specialist for part of his tenure at the Ospedale della Pietà, and there were several other virtuoso cellists in his orbit. His six sonatas for cello and continuo, of an unknown date of composition, are surprisingly simple technically and may have been intended as teaching pieces at the Ospedale. Most Baroque cellists and viol players, as well as quite a few performers on the modern cello, have recorded them, but this set by Dutch-Swiss cellist Roel Dieltiens stands out as dramatic and adventurous. It won't be to all tastes, but if you're curious about a northwestern European counterpart to the ultra-operatic Italian approaches to Vivaldi's instrumental music, give this nicely recorded historical-instrument disc from Etcetera a try. The booming continuo group could not be more different from the plain harpsichord and subtle added cello of Jaap ter Linden's budget set on the Brilliant label. Keyboardist Bart Naessens plays both harpsichord and organ, and he is joined by various combinations of Baroque guitar, cello, and violone, seemingly chosen according to the particular character of the movement being played. And that character is heavily emphasized; Dieltiens, save for the fact that he is playing a Baroque cello, sounds like Rostropovich in the emotional intensity and tempo flexibility he gives to the slow movements that open each of the five sonatas recorded here. Even more unusually, the last sonata on the disc, No. 7 (RV 44), features interpolated improvisations for the organ and the guitar, the latter with a sort of sung-along line from guitarist Jurgen de Bruyn. It might have been nice to hear something in the notes about this, but the listener is asked to take it on fait. The bottom line is that this is Vivaldi at maximum intensity level, which generally serves these sonatas well; there are plenty of unexciting versions of them. This is further testimony that many Vivaldi works are just now finding basic interpretations that work.

Ann Hampton Callaway Blues In The Night (TELARC, HDCD, 2006)
Ann Hampton Callaway is not your typical jazz songbird. For one thing, she's an accomplished and award-winning songwriter, which is unusual in a field dominated by interpreters. But what's most surprising is her voice -- it's a low alto instrument with a rich, dark, butterscotchy tone, and when she gets way down into her lower range the effect can be downright startling. Her latest album is a pleasing mixture of originals and standards, some performed with a small combo that includes bassist Christian McBride and drummer Lewis Nash, others with the all-female Diva Jazz Orchestra. The big-band pieces pack the most wallop, which is no surprise given both the quality of the band and the fact that the arrangements were written by the great Tommy Newsom; a powerhouse rendition of her own "Swingin' Away the Blues" opens the program with a serious bang, and her small-scale but equally powerful take on the chestnut "Blue Moon" carries the energy forward nicely. The rest of the album is a mix of tender ballads and vibrant uptempo numbers, most with a theme related to the blues, either in a mood of resigned acceptance ("Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most," "Willow Weep for Me") or defiant opposition (the Callaway original "Hip to Be Happy"). She imbues most of these songs with a smoldering, torchy quality that brings new energy to old material, and her new songs stand up very nicely next to the established standards. Highly recommended.
