Tom Graph and Jerry Landis, otherwise known as Tom and Jerry, True Taylor, Artie Graph, Paul Kane, or Tico. One could go on. Contractual complications may always prevent the pseudonymous recording activities of the pre-"Sound of Silence" Simon & Garfunkel from ever appearing on one record. Nonetheless, this tidy compilation, spanning 1957 to 1963, serves as an informative overview of that very famous duo's formative compositional years and earliest recording history. And while a fair amount of it is derivative soft-teen rock & roll with simplistic puppy-love platitudes (or at least that's what it seems like now, although it was de rigeur at the time), it is worth remembering that Simon was often pitching his ideas in the direction of more established artists, hence the ubiquitous stylistic nods to the Everly Brothers, Buddy Holly, and even Elvis Presley ("True or False"). Still, historians and aficionados will note the inclusion of period gems such as the debut single "Hey Schoolgirl," recorded when the pair were just 16 years old and an eventual No. 54 hit in the U.S. in 1957, plus the vogue-ish and slightly daft superhero infatuation of "The Lone Teen Ranger," a No. 97 hit in 1962. --Kevin Maidment

Having earned his composing stripes after the 1960s, John Adams had the pioneering work of Steve Reich, Philip Glass, and Terry Riley close at hand as he ventured into his trade. And, while minimalism's historical continuum helps place Adams, he used Reich, Glass, and Riley (among others) only as a starting point. And here's proof: a 10-CD retrospective of nearly all Adams's recorded compositions on Nonesuch Records, the label that also issued Steve Reich 1965-1995 and Kronos Quartet: 25 Years. Adams's Harmonium, a choral work of startling energy and effervescence, appears here in a new recording, as do distillations of both The Death of Klinghoffer and Nixon in China, two path-clearing operas. Over the span of a career covered by Earbox, Adams has returned minimalism to traditional instrumental ensembles as well as to projects that at once advanced a political commentary and took that commentary back to orchestral audiences. And so, in far less time than his predecessors, Adams created works that now play like standard repertoire pieces: The Wound Dresser and Shaker Loops and the Violin Concerto--all of them are here. What these works demonstrate is a fierce creativity on the one hand and perhaps a hunger for commercial advances on the other. Adams may at times be a bustling free thinker, but he sounds ever conscious of what audiences are listening to. As for the works themselves, they remain every bit as daunting as when written.

Some may object to particular selections. I Was Looking at the Ceiling and Then I Saw the Sky, for example, hardly ranks with Adams's best work. But this box isn't a mere best-of; it's an almost-all-of. At times terrifically American--especially in the news-aware operas and their narrative pragmatism--Adams well deserves a major box set, and its coverage is appropriate to his varied, stylistically diverse output. As with any large-scale retrospective, Earbox--which fairly bristles with Adams's new composition, Slonimsky's Earbox--has spots where fans might balk at the quality of the composer's writing. But it's got a fantastic accompanying booklet along with its many hours of inarguably modern and thoroughly listener-friendly music. --Andrew Bartlett

Moved to tears.......2004-03-18

Never before in my life was i moved so intensely and directly by classical music. I put the first cd in my player and a few minutes later tears are flowing. I find myself dancing and moving to a rythm i already seem to know. Wow, i just have to share that.

Nonesuch delivers.Again.......2002-11-27

John adams is one of the most popular living composers of"modern" classical music[I believe the cutoff point, though arbitrary is usually WWII}.I came to him late, through my husband. Modersn classical music , I said? What the hell is that?My husband kept playing bits and pieces of adams for me, and more and more i found myself amazed. and swayed. His operas have been groundbreaking{Nixon in China} controversial{Death Of klinghoffer},his compostions sublimely beautiful{shaker Loops or harmonium].HIS STATURE IS WORTHY THEN OF SUCH A MONUMENTAL CAREER SPANNING BOX SET.This 10 disc set[great value, again from NONESUCH}encompasses Adams' entire career,and though there are some misses here{I was looking at the ceiling and then i saw the sky doesnt quite fit},it is still magnificent. the Highlights are ,{for me} the Wound Dresser, Chamber symphony,Violin Concerto, of course, Shaker Loops and Harmonuim are wonderful. The true jewels here are Nixon in China,the Chairman dances and the Death of Klinghoffer,which is simply a masterpiece. The set comes with a wonderful book, which contains essay's by Robert Hurwitz {An Uncommon Man}renaud Machart[John adams as seen from europe} and Essays before an earbox by Adams himself.A Chronology and dicography are included. A wonderful study of an American original,worth the investment, Highly highly recommended

harmonia in excelsis.......2001-11-12

I must agree with Mr. Bartlett, particularly with regard to "Ceiling." It may well be because his Violin Concerto and Harmonielehre are so powerful. 4.5 stars.
Interesting, and likely intentional, is that two names in the extensive liner book fail to mention two great and glaringly obvious precursors: Carl Orff and Raymond Scott. Without "Carmina Burana," there would be no "Harmonium." Orff has his mark all over Adams's gifted and epic compositions. Similarly, though there are glib references to "cartoon music," the polymath engineer/musician Scott is a seminal figure in American music, and casts a large shadow over the witty juxtapositions and sense of play one loves in Adams's work. In all, an excellent career overview.

Our greatest living composer.......2001-07-22

As a composer, I'm staggered that anyone could fail to be gripped by this music.

That anyone can use the words "spoiled, overrated" amazes me. I emphatically disagree with "A music fan"'s review.

I don't think it's "mind-numbing"; I think it's spiritual and exciting. To me it's the most substantial music being created in our times.

I'm really sorry that anyone could fail to enjoy it, and really recommend others to listen for themselves.

Wonderful CD.......2000-04-02

This compilation should turn even the most curmudgeonly listerner into a fan. Beautifully recorded, great notes -- and it's a heck of a bargain!

Simon and Garfunkel's dirty little secret...but it's good! .......2004-12-29

If you're expecting "Bridge Over Troubled Water" or "The Sounds of Silence", look elsewhere. This shows that great singer-songwriters aren't made overnight and that even the best are prone to "borrow" from others.

The first name that will come to mind is the Everly Brothers. Another is Dion.

But there's little that Paul and Art should be ashamed of here even though they used different names at the time. It sounds like innocent fun, representative of the music of the late 50s-early 60s, before Dylan and the Beatles.

The amazing thing is that in 1962 he was doing a song like "The Lone Teen Ranger" with cheesy sound effects and 2 years later he and Garfunkel came out with "Wednesday Morning, 3AM" which disappeared altogether and broke them up once again.. at least until "The Sounds of Silence".

But they couldn't have been too embarrassed by it. Frank Zappa wrote in his book that Simon and Garfunkel opened for the Mothers (as a reentry into doing live music again). As a gag, they came out as Tom and Jerry and sang "Hey Schoolgirl", and then Zappa had them come back out as Simon and Garfunkel, upsetting the hipsters. When they did their 2003 reunion tour, they also did "Hey Schoolgirl" as part of their set.

Due to legal reasons, this is by far not the complete collection of Simon and Garfunkel pre "Wed. Morning" but it does show them as a competent duo even back then. Unlike Tom Waits' "The Early Years", Bruce Springsteen's "Before the Fame" and the infinite amount of Steely Dan's demos, most of the songs had previously been released and commercially available, although hard to find if not scarse.

The sound quality is pretty decent, and sounds like they were able to find the master tapes.

I Must Be Dreaming!.......2001-10-18

This collection includes "Hey Schoolgirl," which was released in November 1957 and reached #54 on Billboard's Hot 100. At the time, the song was attributed to Tom and Jerry. The tune sounds exactly like the Everly Brothers, as does its B-side, "Dancin' Wild." In fact, all of the songs have a fifties sound, and were released as singles under pseudonyms. Some standouts are the doo-wop ballad "Beat Love" by Artie Garr (Art Garfunkel), and the Coasters-style novelty song "The Lone Teen Ranger" by Jerry Landis (Paul Simon). For Simon and Garfunkel fans who thought their recordings began with folk-rock albums in the sixties, this CD proves that their musical roots indeed stretched back to the fifties. It's also a treat to listen to! The back of the CD only includes the song titles. Below is a list of the artist's name given for each record and the year of release.

1. "Dream Alone" - released by Artie Garr (1959)
2. "Beat Love" - released by Artie Garr (1959)
3. "Beat Love" (with harmony) - released by Artie Garr (1959)
4. "I Love You (Oh Yes I Do)" - released by Art Garfunkel *
5. "Just A Boy" - released by Jerry Landis (1960)
6. "Play Me A Sad Song" - released by Jerry Landis (1961)
7. "It Means A Lot To Them" - released by Jerry Landis (1961)
8. "Flame" - released by Jerry Landis (1963)
9. "Shy" - released by Jerry Landis (1960)
10. "A Soldier & A Song (Light Your Way)" - by Art Garfunkel *
11. "The Lone Teen Ranger" - released by Jerry Landis (1962)
12. "Hey Schoolgirl" - released by Tom and Jerry (1957)
13. "Our Song" - released by Tom and Jerry (1958)
14. "That's My Story" - released by Tom and Jerry (1957)
15. "Teenage Fool" - released by True Taylor (1958)
16. "Tia-Juana Blues" - released by Tom and Jerry (1958)
17. "Dancin' Wild" - released by Tom and Jerry (1957)
18. "Don't Say Goodbye" - released by Tom and Jerry (1958)
19. "Two Teenagers" - released by Tom and Jerry (1958)
20. "True or False" - released by True Taylor (1958)
21. "Simon Says" - released by Tom and Jerry (1958)

* These two songs, attributed to Art Garfunkel, are NOT on the CD that I purchased. When looking up those songs, I found some interesting information. "It should be noted, too, that some of this material is of questionable origin. "I Love You (Oh Yes I Do)" and "A Soldier & A Song (Light Your Way)," neither of which seem to have been released before, don't sound like Art Garfunkel, though he is credited as the singer." I listened to a sound sample of each song, and neither song sounds anything like Art Garfunkel. I'll stick with the 19-song version of the collection that I have.
