Dave O'Higgins, whose Big Shake Up is his first big band album as leader, is a saxophonist ... more
who has spent well over a decade as a highly
visible presence on the British jazz scene, so we
can hardly call him a newcomer. Yet his music
always has a freshness and energy most normally
associated with youth. On this record, which came
about when the band was assembled for an East
Midlands Arts-sponsored community project in
Lincoln, O'Higgins has written all compositions
and arrangements. They are clean-edged and
uncomplicated without being simplistic. O'Higgins
leaves plenty of space for blowing, but where
there are written passages, they are more than
merely something to connect the solos together,
with nice voicings and instrumental colouring. The
style of the music is not a million years from
Loose Tubes on a breezy day, or Gary McFarland at
his jazziest, and should be very attractive to
both jazz and non-jazz fans. All in all it's a
very pleasing record. --Keith Shadwick

Review of Conspiracy Of One - Offspring (The) by bbrown116

Advantages: Excellent music!
Disadvantages: None

...fan-base. Music Style: Chaotic vaguely-punk rock based around clever themes. The style of the album will appeal to most music-fans and has a wide fan-base. Personally, I find the music a suitable background liveliness for most things (relaxing, working, washing up...), although I guess I'm a particularly big fan. I don't think I know anyone who didn't enjoy the CD (including my Grandparents!), although the occasionally explicit nature of the lyrics means it probably isn't suitable for younger children. The 'Conspiracy of One' CD is ideal for any moment when you need a lift; whether you're feeling a little down or need an energy boost, the up-beat rhythms and predominantly cheerful lyrics is a quick fix that will get you through the rest of the day. Music/performance quality: The quality of the band's performance is inevitably high... Read review

Brilliant !!!
Review of Crash - Dave Matthews Band by dmnuk

Advantages: Best Live Band Ever
Disadvantages: Will never Leave Your Player

...Dave Matthews Band, is truly one of the best bands around today, there powerful Lyrics, there mellow vibe, there long Jam's, there brilliant live concerts (seen 3 of them). From 1991 when they started to this present day, they have not disappointed, from touring day in and day out, without any big advertising or marketing campaign, theses guys have built up a fan base from solid touring and excellent album's. Every song they sing has such meaningful words, they play such different instruments, concerts have lasted up to 3 and a half hrs, they just get on stage and to there thing, (voted Best Live Band 2nd year running) To sum it up, have a listen and judge for yourself, I can guarantee you will not be disappointed....
