Album Description

Crossing The Line is a labor of love. It's about two guys having fun, adding totally free improvistions between several selections. Larry Combs and Eddie Daniels are legendary masters of their craft. Combs, aside from being one of the best orchestral clarinetists in the world, is a fine jazz player. He played with Chuck Mangione before joining the Chicago Symphony.

From "Ponchielli," (featuring the Chicago String Quintet) and the Pleyel duets to Gordon Goodwin's "Leblanc Suite" and William O. Smith's "Jazz Fantasy" this is a serious musical joyride!

5 out of 5 stars GREAT BUY!.......2005-06-24

I recently met Eddie Daniels and Larry Combs at the Oklahoma University Clarinet Symposium and WOW! They are both amazing characters at what they do. First off, Larry Combs is a classical clarinetist who has been Principle Clarinet in the Chicago Symphony since the early 70's. Eddie Daneils is a Jazz Clarinet player, but yet he still plays classical just as well as Larry Combs. Well, Larry and Eddie met eachother at a Clarinet Convention MANY years ago, and since then they have been great friends. These people are LEGENDARY! They will be in the clarinet recording archives probably until the day I die, which will be a looong time. This album is worth the the money, I suggest it for anyone who is a fan of EITHER or BOTH of these fabulous clarinetists. The Duos by Ignaz Pleytel are phenominol! They are beautiful! And whats even funnier is they play noodles, which is unedited made up on the spot music, which makes the whole experience even more interesting because they just follow each other with whatever they can come up with on the spot. Buy this album if you are a clarinetist, you won't regret it!

    5 out of 5 stars INCREDIBLE TECHNIQUE, PHRASING,TONE.......2007-06-28

    I don't know what music the first comment was referring to when he said she doesn't have good tone. Amanda Pepping is superb in every aspect of her playing. Fast, articulate, great phrasing, technique, and tonal quality. He needs to get his trumpet out and match what she does. (If he even plays at all). I think he can probably play "Twinkle, twinkle, little star".

    T.A.

    3 out of 5 stars Very good technique....tone...no.......2005-10-21

    She's got some very impressive technique, especially from what you hear on the first track...all that rapid firing! wow

    But when you talk about tone, which I believe is the essence of trumpet playing, she does not produce a rich enough tone

    If you want to listen to INSANE technique while still retaining a beautiful tone, listen to Maurice Andre, his Carnival of Venice was quite impressive

    5 out of 5 stars Wow.......2005-09-20

    Amanda Pepping is most definitely in the elite company of the small sorority of female trumpet virtuosi. Brava!

      3 out of 5 stars Perhaps not *quite* what you want..........2007-04-27

      If you're like me and you have a hankering for "film noir music," you're probably thinking of a lonely sax playing an urban, 3 AM melodic line, backed by some bluesy chords from a small jazz ensemble. Like John Barry's excellent theme from "Body Heat," for example, or something like Jerry Goldsmith's theme for "Chinatown."

      Never mind the fact that the great majority of films noir from the classic period (1941-1955) didn't have jazzy background music like that at all, but was usually scored with quasi-classical romantic string music (with a solo violin) or bombastic, brass-heavy instrumentals.

      Anyway, this CD isn't the 3 AM sax stuff.

      Not to say that there isn't some of that on here. You might like "Godfather" (not, however, the theme you're thinking of from the Francis Ford Coppola Godfather films), or "Blues for Guylaine," or even the bluesy passages from Bernard Herrmann's "Taxi Driver" suite.

      But there's some odd stuff on here that causes me to wonder how, precisely, it qualifies as "film noir."

      For instance, the dreamy carnival music from "The Elephant Man," or the angular string music in "Buckets of Blood" (from "Carrie," not the Roger Corman film). Seems like a reach. The first cut, "Turning Pages" had me unpleasantly surprised, and triggered my I've been ripped-off alarm. And "Chop Shop" has a wah guitar that sounds a lot more like a 70's blaxsploitation film than film noir.

      The inclusion of Angelo Badalamenti helps redeem the collection; his music for "Twin Peaks," "Fire, Walk With Me" and "Mulholland Drive" redefines what a noir theme should sound like.

      This CD is odd, no doubt about it. "Godfather," which sounds decidedly noirish, is from a comedy/drama film about a man who's paid to impregnate lesbians. "The Wrong Man" music is relentlessly perky but comes from a bona fide noir. (Okay, a Hitchcock noir, not quite the same thing.)

      The key here, I guess, is to enlarge the scope of what you think noir film music ought to be... But perhaps a better title for this collection of music might have been "Neo-Noir!"

      Still, credit must be given to liner notes writer Eddie Muller and his Film Noir Foundation for at least directing the current noir wave. His book "Dark City" turned me - and probably many others - to noir. Long may his tribe increase!

      Summary: If you're looking for classic/sterotypical, 3 AM wet-pavements-in-the-Dark-City noirish stuff, try John Barry's "Body Heat," which I enthusiastically recommend. Barry practically *owns* that silky/sexy slow sax genre.

      4 out of 5 stars Nice imaginative collection.......2006-08-04

      A collection of musical cues from various film noir scores, but imaginatively assembled to constitute a new score for a nonexistent movie. Cleverly done, choosing from excellent sources, and not going for the easy or the obvious. It's exciting to hear someone making a connection between Bernard Herrmann and Angelo Badalamenti.

      3 out of 5 stars what's new: early 21st century.......2005-10-12

      this is an anthology, a sampler, of what's current in jazz and classical music played by jazz artists. it serves the purpose of familiarizing. however, nothing leaped out and pushed me to want to listen to any of the cd's these selections were first recorded.

      5 out of 5 stars Quite possibly Howard Shore's best work yet..........2006-08-24

      I've always enjoyed Howard Shore's work, even way before he became a household name with the mammoth scores for the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I personally feel that he is at his best when doing the scores for Cronenberg's works.

      With Naked Lunch, I think Shore managed to create a perfect soundscape to go along with director David Cronenberg's crazed adaptation of William Burrough's cult novel. Shore, along with famed saxophonist Ornette Coleman, join together to create a strange hybrid of mood music and frenetic jazz that fits the film perfectly. This isn't typical jazz and is very free form but still, it's definitely one of the best film scores I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. It's not for everyone but if you appreciate a good, moody movie score, look no further for this is one of the absolute best.

      Lastly, it reminds me a bit of the score that he did for "The Cell", due to the Middle East sounding bits laced throughout the album and out of all of his scores, I'd say it resembles that one the most. The lonely saxophone also reminds me of the score for "Angel Heart", the sax in which was played by Courtney Pine.

      5 out of 5 stars great film,just as great music!.......2005-11-20

      coleman/shore together are like what miles davis and angelo badalamenti would've come up with!yes,it's that good!have a few stiff drinks,pop this in,and close your eyes...

      4 out of 5 stars ron carter ron carter ron carter.......2007-02-03

      i'm not sure why amazon lists this cd under chuck israels's name, a bass player who appears with a drummer on 2 or 3 numbers.

      i'm also not sure why the kronos quartet took hits for recording the music of monk. monk's music works well with a string quartet.

      ron carter's playing is definitively superb on the monk suite composition. very lucid. his playing is worth the price of the cd.

      This is a beautiful recording... beautifully performed and recorded... There's a nice blend of two-guitar pieces and ensemble pieces, and it's extremely relaxing music. I highly recommend it! I've heard these guys live, and they're even better in person!

      5 out of 5 stars Barber's wonderful, beautiful music.......2001-11-21

      This is a collection of 19 works by Samuel Barber. It contains some very popular Barber works (Adagio for Strings, Medea's Meditation), some lesser known (Summer Music, The Lovers) and many I'd never heard before. All are beautiful.

      This album's version of Medea's Meditation and Dance of Vengeance is surprisingly slow tempoed. It caught me off balance for a bit but it was a nice change of pace. The Hermit Songs were all instrumental only -- also nice for a change of pace. One song, "To Be Sung on Water" performed by the Oregon Repertory Singers, was absolutely glorious. "Hesitation Waltz", a piano duet, is an unusual work with emotional undercurrents that I didn't notice at first listen.

      It's almost impossible these days to find an album which contains something other than the four or five most popular Barber works. This one showcases 17 of those hard-to-find pieces. What a great album!

      5 out of 5 stars A broad survey of Barber's wonderful music.......2001-04-05

      In the history of 20th century classical music, Samuel Barber is a well-loved, if not "revolutionary", figure. His skill with the craft of melody is justly famous, and his work reflects elegance and craft; however, he was also a master of contrapuntal composition ("Adagio for Strings", aka the second movement of his String Quartet, could be used in advanced composition classes as a masterpiece of counterpoint) and a great orchestrator. His Capricorn Concerto is a jewel-like triple concerto (trumpet, flute and oboe with strings), full of rhythm, movement and light-- the second movement is especially brilliant, with delightful interplay among the solo instruments and a lovely slow section (soft strings and an exquisitely melancholy short oboe solo). The rest of the selections are also well-done and welcome (if the "Adagio" is overplayed, the "Hermit Songs" are just not performed enough!). A nice collection of Barber's high-quality oeuvre.
