Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
When Red Garland was a member of Miles Davis's band in the late '50s, Davis would regularly depart the stage to feature Garland in a trio format. He was a complete jazz pianist, able to find ideal chordal extensions to prod a soloist, to swing aggressively with block chords, and to string together single note lines with buoyant energy and a bright articulation. He was capable of real delicacy, but his playing never descended to the decorative. His regular trio featured bassist Paul Chambers, his gifted partner from the Davis quintet, and drummer Art Taylor, a rock-solid timekeeper whose balance of subtlety and drive also made him Bud Powell's drummer of choice. Garland mated his harmonic sophistication to elements that communicated directly, his tunefulness, his rhythmic drive, and his vigorous roots in Texas and the Southwest blues traditions. They're evident everywhere here, from the medium-tempo swing of Ellington minimalist masterpiece "C-Jam Blues" to the deep, melancholic blues that infuse "Willow Weep for Me." Garland's Prestige recordings of the late '50s are models for the piano trio in modern jazz, and Groovy is among the best of them. --Stuart Broomer

5 out of 5 stars Feelin' Groovy.......2007-01-10

This truly is a groovy album. I hadn't realized how many hits HP had, or how much I enjoyed their music "back in the day". It's happy music - with a bit of a dark side at times -- and it can really improve a bad mood day!

As a professional fiction writer, I really appreciate the way they turn a phrase and tell a story.

5 out of 5 stars Great slice of the sixties.......2006-11-04

The lovely grouped harmonious voices of Harpers was in keeping with the trend of that time period. Recall the Monkees, Beatles, etc. These guys didn't enjoy quite the same PR or fame, but two of the cuts "Feelin' Groovy' and 'Anything Goes' did reach the charts and did do well. In fact, 'Feelin' Groovy' is on many compilations of the period as well. I can attest to having been around then and everyone was singing/whistling that tune. It just wouldn't go away, nor was it annoying. So, buy the cd, kick back and get nostalgic for a time when people were a little kinder/gentler/more civil.

2 out of 5 stars Don't even have to hear it..........2006-03-29

I have been a fan of HB since hearing Feelin' Groovy back in '67 (or was it '68). The best thing I ever did was NOT buy their Feelin'Groovy album first. I remember being faced with the choice of Anything Goes or Feelin' Groovy. I opted for the former on the basis of Chatanooga Choo Choo and Anything Goes scoring together on points better than Feelin' Groovy. Anything Goes is just 150% excellent. I played that LP to death. I then bought the Secret Life. Arguably even better as a 'whole' even though it didn't have songs to match Anything Goes and Chatanooga Choo Choo. I then bought Feelin' Groovy and was dissapointed. I would never have bought the other albums on the strength of Feelin' Groovy.

As a previous reviewer pointed out, without even hearing this compilation I just knew they've got it wrong. What a waste.

My advice? Hunt out Anything Goes and The Secret Life or Harper's Bizarre rather than buy this. Also Harper's Bizarre 4 (which I've only just got from Amazon - March 2006!). Excellent, but not as good as Anything Goes and Secret.

5 out of 5 stars Feelin' Groovy: The Best Of Harpers Bizarre.......2000-05-02

It brings back the best of memories. The mix of instruments, topped by the best harmonies, what a heavenly delight. Just close your eyes, sit back, and enjoy! There will never be this kind of magic, ever again. I also am trying to find the album or cd " Anything Goes". I can sing every song on that one. What I miss on the "Best Of", is the prelude to Anything Goes, where the tune of Anything Goes is being sung like Rudey Valley, and some lyrics like, Instead of landing on Plymouth Rock, Plymouth Rock would land on them. For all the youngsters out there, Try it, you'll like it!

4 out of 5 stars Back In The Daze #5.......2000-02-21

Hailing from the mystery spot known as Santa Cruz, California, and previously known as "The Tikis," Harpers Bizarre was a clever work of experimentation, coyly disguised as a soft-rock combo. Harpers, boasting an editorial staff to the envy of any fan of the genre, would seamlessly blend innuendo, revivalism, and daring multi-track bombast, to turn any generation's ear sideways. Given that Warners has been the stingiest of the major labels to delve into its archives, fans will will find this tempting overview, "groovy," and newcomers may hear Harpers Bizarre for what they were, as pioneers of broad band Tiki-nology.

    Album Details

    2007 Digitally Remastered Anthology of the Chicago Singer who Achieved her First Chart Hit in 1967 with "Tell Him", a Song Previously Recorded with her Sisters and Brother in Law Carlton Black as the Drew-vels in 1963. She Hit the Charts in a Big Way Again in 1968 with a Cover of Neil Sedaka's "Working on a Groovy Thing". Her Only Other Us R&B Hits Both Came from her Third Album,"i've Been Here all the Time. Chess Records' Richard Evans Produced Patti's Final Capitol Album, Wild is Love in Chicago, a Very Jazz and Cabaret Oriented Affair, but Soulful Enough to Include a Hard-hitting Gospel Influenced Number Like Hundreds and Thousands of Guys. It was her Last Album for the Label but also the First to Chart on the Billboard R&B Album Chart. Whatever her Producers and Arrangers Provided for her Recordings, that Powerful and Exciting Gospel Influenced Vocal Style was Never Far from the Surface.

    A Rock Group Scheduled to Appear at the Annual Spring Concert of St Patrick's High School in Chicago Called in at the Last Moment and Said They Couldn't Appear Due to Illness. Pat Mcbride, Emcee of the Show and Senior at the School, Got Together with Three Other Seniors and Formed a Group to Fill In. They Did Three Beatles Numbers that Night and the Response was So Good They Decided to Become a Regular Group. They Called Themselves the Patsmen but Soon Tired of that Name and Searched for a New One. They Decided on 'the New Colony' Since it was in the Middle of the First Big British Musical Invasion and They Wanted to Be Known as a Strictly American Group. By the Time the Group Had Grown to Six-hence, the New Colony Six, which Went on to Become One of Chicago's Most Popular Groups and Eventually Spread Across the Nation.

    4 out of 5 stars Fond Memories Of The New Colony Six!.......2006-03-09

    For you old timers (myself included) that remember & liked The New Colony Six; you have got to hear these ballads again! Hands down; This is one of the best Bands that I remember; and yet forgot about; until I happened to stumble upon their (out of print) Best Of; Colonized CD here at Amazon. What a pleasant surprise for me! Needless to say; I done more searching looking for my favorite New Colony Six songs on other compilations that was still in print and found their 2 most popular Ballads was on Dick Bartley Presents Classic Oldies 1965-1969 being, I will Always Think About You, and, Things I'd like To Say, however purchasing that CD only left me wanting more of their good songs. I knew there was more because I vaguely remember a few of them but didn't remember the titles and it has been so long; the available 30 second song samples wasn't helping me at all. Well..... My search stopped right here with this Treat Her Groovy Disc that Amazon now has. The titles of 2 of those songs are, Barbara; I Love You, and, Blue Eyes, and, Blue Eyes, isn't even on the Colonized CD. There are also 3 others here that I remember and I think they are every bit as beautiful as the Band's 2 most popular Ballads (which are also here) being, I Want You To Know, I Could Never Lie To You, &, Can't You See Me Cry. The remainder of the songs don't appeal to me much and that is why I only gave this Disc 4 stars however the Ballads more than justify purchasing this CD.
    This Disc is their 2 Mercury Records Studio Albums, Revelations, &, Attacking A Straw man, from 1968 & 1969 on 1 Disc and for roughly ¼ of the price of the Colonized CD; and this is what I was looking for. This Disc and their, At The Rivers Edge, Disc will get you 15 of the 20 Colonized songs anyway; for roughly ½ the price. The sound quality on this CD is as beautiful as the Ballads. If you like this band; you can't go wrong here. I cannot believe I completely forgot about them but then.....It was a long time ago!
    Final Note; I'm only kidding about old timers only. Everyone needs to hear the Ballads I have mentioned above! Simply put......They are Gorgeous!

    4 out of 5 stars Great music reminiscent of the Association.......2006-02-21

    Thank God for Satellite radio! I had no idea who did "Things I'd Like To Say" until I caught it on XM and it was The New Colony Six! I was aware of their garage rock sound but not the ballad sounds that would make you think of the Association or Gary Puckett. Better than Puckett, on par with the best Association music and were better at making whole albums as evidence here. If it had more cuts like "Sun Within You" and "Come Give your Love To Me" and dropped the last two cuts, I would have given it 5 stars. Save yourself some bucks and skip the "Colonized" Rhino collection. Far too expensive. Buy this along with the insanely excellent "At the River's Edge" (5 stars!) and you will have most of "Colonized" for half the price. One disc will have the garage and the other will be the lighter sunshiny music. A logical move in 1968 for a garage band considering the immense popularity of Puckett, the Association, the Bee Gees,etc. If you are into this stuff don't hesitate.

    5 out of 5 stars New colony six - 2 albums in 1.......2005-12-07

    Being from chicago, the new colony six where the second most popular local bang in the late 60's only the buckinghams got more national attention.

    This CD combines their last 2 albums on Mecury Records "revelations" and "attacking a straw man" . Most people will know the hits from the first album "i will always think about you" and their biggest national hit " things i'd like to say". its good clean pop sound, happy and carefree no anti war messages here, just fun and toe tapping/sing along songs......hope you like as much as i did when i bought the 8-track tapes in '68 and '69!

    Album Description

    In 1960s France, the bastion of the burgeoning youth culture in Europe, teenagers were becoming totally absorbed in American culture, though films, music and clothes. Long before the sixties began to swing in London town, France was enjoying what was to become known as "les annees ye-ye." A truly golden period of uniquely Gallic takes on American and British pop. Out of this music explosion came the "ye-ye girls," sultry, young French maidens, heavy on mascara and a languid innocence. Inspired by the chanteuse tradition, these sexy girls added their own sparky twist to create a much loved chapter in the history of pop.

    This compilation bring together a groovy collection of sounds that capture the pure essence of ye-ye from straight down the line pop to the influences of psychedelia. This release is the perfect starting point to the swinging world of ye-ye. If it were any cooler it would be frozen.

    2 out of 5 stars Great music, lame compilation.......2007-07-04

    Annoyingly, this brazenly rips off the title of the well-known - and much more lovingly compiled - Swinging Mademoiselle compilations. Everything about it is as unoriginal and careless as the borrowed title, from the misattributions to the generic liner notes. Not to mention that every track is available on other compilations. A listless attempt to cash in on a trend and others' good taste and hard work.

    Yes, the music itself is wonderful, but instead go for the superior Femmes De Paris and Pop A Paris compilations, or try to track down the original Swinging Mademoiselle or Ultra Chicks comps, as a previous reviewer suggested.

    4 out of 5 stars French Bubblegum Pop Rock - Sound Quality Iffy.......2006-03-23

    While the Amazon reviewer called them yeh-yeh girls - which I think of as more folk-pop, the tracks on here are mostly all of the bubblegum pop rock variety - nothing wrong with that if that's what you want but if you're looking for yeh-yeh songs, you'll be disappointed.

    The sound quality also leaves a lot to be desired but since there's not a lot of these songs in print avaialble in the US, these will do for now.

    If you prefer your French pop more of the Power Pop/Rock variety, you'll be very happy with "Femmes De Paris V.1" The two collections share 3 tracks and the sound quality is WAY WAY better on the Femmes De Paris V.1 CD.

    It's still fun and as promised, it is "groovy.' Sound quality could be better.

    2 out of 5 stars Just for the record.......2006-01-24

    The title of this compilation is a rip off of an earlier and superior compilation by Sasha Monet entiitled Swinging Mademoiselle. Yes the music on this is good, but the unoriginality of this comp is a turn off. On top of that there is wrong information: "Et moi, et toi, et soie" is not a song by Clothilde but by Cleo (a song written by Dutronc and prior to his own hit "Et moi, et moi, et moi." Also, it is Jacqueline Taieb not Tajeb. So as you can see there is something not right here.

    But, due to the unavaiability of superior comps, this one will have to do.

    This collection is of music that 95% of French people do not know nor have ever heard of though it is superior to non-Franco ears than a lot of the big stars of the day. This stuff was churned out by music industry factory of the 60s that had just found that there was a market for "new music." With the exception of Taieb, Stella, Pilzer and Clothilde the girls no this comp did not write their own songs or had much say in how the material was produced.

    5 out of 5 stars A Nice Surprise!.......2005-12-27

    When I first found this CD in the French music section I thought this would be a cheesy, cheap, and bad compilation with a poor quality of music. But to my surprise, I found it to be one of the most catchy and melodic French albums I've ever heard. And to think that this is from the 60's! Of course, this album makes me think of the glory days of pop when the Beatles took over the music world, but at the same time it opened me up to a more fresh side to France and French music that I never thought of before. Every song is as catchy, playful, innocent, and sexy as the next. Even though there seems to be very little information about these "ye-ye girls" (the most popular was Brigette Bardot), listening to these songs makes me want to know more about them---and if I can't, simply treasure the gems they've made during the glory days of 60's pop. I can't wait to show this to my French teacher and see what she thinks about it, I bet she will even be surprised at this wonderful treat! If you are into 60's pop music, then surely you will like this album even if you may not be a fan of the French language or can't understand French in general.

    5 out of 5 stars Another side of the 60s.......2005-11-16

    For those of you who grew up thinking that the 1960s were nothing but protest and pschedelia take a listen to Swinging Mademmiselles: Groovy French Sounds from the 60s. This great little cd shows us that pop was definitely king at least in France. All the tracks are sung by different French chanteuses with a certain girly but knowing sound to their voices. The most bizarre track on the cd is one singer's take on The Who's mid sixties anthem, "Talkin' bout my Generation. The only recognizable thing in this version of the song is the ever catchy refrain, "Talkin' bout my g-g-g-generation." Have fun listening to this very European time capsule of this generation.

    4 out of 5 stars Dark swirling waters.......2005-10-24

    I listened to the two sample clips that Amazon had for this CD and loved them both. This CD has a rather dark, sensuous feel to it. Some songs are dark, some are sensuous, and some are both. "Be Like Water" starts the CD off, and its a great song. "Virus" is the first "dark" song on the album, and its quite moving and affective. "Spit Trap Ghetto" is very different than the other songs in that its very fast and his this hyper-paranoid jazz feel to it. You'll know what I mean when you hear it. "Lioness" and "In the Red" are two back to back songs that are fantastic songs to "get you in the mood." Over all, if you like albums that are somewhat dark and has a moody-mysteriousness to it, then by all means pick this one up.

    5 out of 5 stars Sppoky and beautiful.......2004-03-08

    This is a beautiful CD. Sarah Fimm's piano playing is soothing and spooky at the same time. Her voice is lilting but strong, airy but gutsy. I don't really know whom to liken her to, perhaps a spookier Tori Amos...maybe a little Terami Hirsch and Portishead thrown in. Part "girl and piano" and one part techno. But really quite original. .
    It's evident that Fimm is fond of the voice over as she uses this technique in several songs, all very effectively.
    This CD covers a lot of styles very well. It's all atmospheric and ambient, but you'll find dabs of jazz, blues, rock, cabaret, and pop too.
    If you like this kind of music you'll love this CD.

    5 out of 5 stars Rare Talent, a Must Listen.......2004-02-07

    Upon receiving a promo cd in NYC I bought this album immediately. Sarah is an example of undiscovered talent that moves trip hop beats and electronic pop into the mainstream. The production is perfect and her voice blends Beth Gibbons, Tori Amos, and her own unique sound into one incredible quality. I was moved in so many ways buy this album and everytime I listen to it I am absolutely amazed at the honesty, talent, and hard work that must've went into it. This cd is a must buy for anyone that is into quality music!!

    5 out of 5 stars sounds like the next dominating chanteuse.......2003-05-27

    There are many bands I picked up after I listend to just one of their numbers, and have never regreted it. Depeche Mode, Tool, just to name a couple.

    Just heard shadows and fog by Ms. Fimm. Seven months from her CD release, and I am buying it today. I have just exhausted Scarlett's walk by Tori Amos. Going to love this one.

    4 out of 5 stars At once rough and beautiful.......2003-04-23

    Sarah Fimm is a truly unemerged talent, and highly unappreciated artist. Most people liken her to Sarah McLachlan, which is really unfair to Fimm because, while their music is similar, their lyrical abilities are very differant. Fimm's songs ripple with the sexual tension 'Fumbling towards ecstacy' nearly attained, but succeeds where McLachlan failed by being more daring.

    Sarah Fimm is definitely daring with her music. She combines ethereal piano work with driving guitar riffs without comprimising either. This is sign of her magnificent skill. Other, inferior, artists attempt to blend the two into a unified sound. What comes out is too hard for pop lovers and too light for rockers. The way Fimm's songs transition from tear-jerker solo pianos to unforgiving rock (reminiscent of Kitty in some ways) is like she's sticking her tongue out at the music industry and saying 'Na-na na na-na'. Her seductive voice, coupled with her unapologetically sexual lyrics is another proof. Because her songs are sexy without being sleazy like a lot of other singers. Because her sexual lyrics, like her other lyrics, are so laden with truth and reality that they feel too personnal to feel like the soundtrack to 'Bikini Beach 6: Wet T-shirt winter'....

    My favorite song off of the album, 'Be like water', perfectly captures the frustration of a lot of modern Americans living in the shadow of political correctness and the pop-psychology that continually invades our lives. ...'Alien boys', 'Smoke', and 'Lioness' are more killer tracks that really touch on a very human and very honest level.

    The CD has a especial annointing for worshipers. The CD is powerful.

    5 out of 5 stars Prophetic Worship -- par excellance!.......2005-12-10

    I read the first review and have NO idea what that person expected from this CD. But Cloud By Day is one of the most powerful prophetic cds out and I'd recommend it to anyone interested in prophetic music...especially edgy, "out of the box" music. And besides, the quality of its instrumentation and vocals is super as well.

    1 out of 5 stars cloud by day-prophetic worship.......2005-09-13

    With all due respect to the artists and worshippers involved in what I am sure was a great investment, this cd was a considerable disappointment. The words "prophetic worship" carry significant weight and should be used with great care.
    I encourage that this cd be sampled before purchasing and hope that others disagree.

    5 out of 5 stars A naear-perfect anthology of his PIR recordings........2006-03-30

    This superb compilation of Mr. Rawls' 1976-82 Philadelphia International recordings is nothing short of special--not only does it give us some of his all-time greatest recordings, it also allows us to enjoy his rich and ultra-smooth voice again. Lou was dearly loved and will be missed but his music remains timeless and shall be loved always.

    4 out of 5 stars MOST OF THE ESSENTIALS ARE COLLECTED HERE........2006-01-11

    Being a big Lou Rawls fan, I can say without reservation that all of the essentials from the Philadelphia International years are here. In fact, I would have picked the same tunes to represent the best from what was arguably the pinnacle of Ms. Rawls' career. [I might have included "Some Folks Never Learn," and "You're My Blessing," however.] You're getting about a dozen of the very best from that incredible mid-late 70's period. Mr. Rawl's greatest hit from the 60's--"Love Is A Hurtin' Thing"--is here, as well, albeit a live version from 1996, along with his "Tobacco Road" and "Dead End Street."

    A note on the 70's stuff: Pairing Lou Rawls with the Gamble & Huff organization was a match made in heaven. The production and performance were flawless. Very smooth, tasty and jazzy arrangements, with all the bells and whistles. Well, horns and strings, anyway. The tunes were pretty awesome, too. How can you top "You'll Never Find...," and "Lady Love?' "This Song Will Last Forever" really will! "One Life to Live," is beautiful. "See You When I Git There" is wonderful fun.

    If the mastering is good, and if the selections are full-length album versions, this set would be hard to beat as a single disc collection of Mr. Rawl's best work. Sorry that I can't attest to that.

    A final note: I was thrilled to meet, and to even sing with Mr. Rawls when I worked in the Atlantic City casino industry. Mr. Rawl's was a gentleman, an extremely gifted singer, a class act, and a fine human being. Heaven recently became a more musical and swinging place!

    5 out of 5 stars RIP to One of the smoothest Vocalist Cats Ever.......2006-01-07

    Lou Rawls was not Only a strong Vocalist,but also a very down to earth Brother.this Coompilation mainly serves from His Philly International Era which is the Era that truly Blew Him up even more so than His 60's material."you'll never find another love like mine is classic×.Lady love,see you when I get there are all trademark Lou Rawls vocal gems.you can hear the Billy Eckstine,Arthur Prysock&Frank Sinatra vibe on him as a Artist.Lou Rawls blended styles so well&yet had his own bag when he presented songs.when Frank Sinatra says you have the Silkest Chops in Music that speaks volumes coming from Ole Blue Eyes.Lou Rawls did a decent take on a Sinatra tribute Project.Lou Rawls always gave back&His United Negro College Fund telethon has enriched so many lives. RIP to a Strong Artist&a even Stronger Soul brother who touched so many lives.He was Groovy People.

    Actually I thought I already reviewed this ablum but I will give it another shot.
    I brought this album because someone told me to and I loved the first song but couldn't really follow the rest. He had some remakes of some old songs (or atleast it sound that way). I gave him 3 starts for effort. I think he has alot of potential if he could be more original.

      Joe Newman (tp) Frank Foster (ts) Tommy Flanagan (p) Eddie Jones (b) Billy English (d) 3/17/61. (Swingville)

      Recorded 10 months after the excellent JIVE AT FIVE album (also for Swingville), and with Flanagan and Jones returnees, this album is just as good as its predecessor. Frank Foster's forceful, mainly middle-register playing is very effective, and Tommy Flanagan is as good as ever. Only one tune, MO-LASSES, which is a blues a bit too overloaded with funk, is not up the the high level of the other tracks. A solid date.

      4 out of 5 stars A great trumpet player. A unique and clear, vibrant horn........1999-08-18

      A great find, after hearing Joe Newman's horn quality. I had to go out and find any and everything I could that he was on. Basie, Ellington everything.
