His brilliant playing and very bright future was cut short by the consequences of a messy personal life. Shot to death in a saloon by his common-law wife. Oh well.:

IMELDA MAY "mayhem" 2010, cd. #7 UK.
i bought this album a couple of months ago thanks to seeing her perform on "later...with jools" but just got around to listening to it.
this is Imelda's third album release, she is a 36 year old from the emerald isle.
the album is primarily a jazz album with bits of rockabilly thrown in either as individual tracks or infused within the jazz tracks.
IMO Imelda is to modern jazz what Amy Winehouse was to 'soul' music with her superb debut album.
theres an interesting jazz/rockabilly version of Soft Cell's classic eighties hit "tainted love" on here along with a new version of her 2005 debut single "johhny got a boom boom"....never heard the original recording of this but this one is brilliant.
the album starts off at a frantic pace then slows down in the middle only to liven up towards the end again. along with that "johnny" track the two best ones are two of the slow moody pieces, "too sad to cry" and "all for you" which really let her jazzy vocals come to the foreground to show off her fantastic ability.
I LOVE THIS ALBUM

Well, tickle my pickle, if it ain't Imelda May--sorry, but that name sounds like US Southern white trash or a Filipina bar singer. Anyway, she's for real and has gone from strength to strength. Here's her and her band with Jeff Beck playing a substantial part, at the Les Paul Memorial Throw-down:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0NsAwMMnTI << overstating the obvious but Mr. Beck doesn't lend his name or his talents to trifling people or events--go hog-wild with this!
Here she's doin' the do at the Isle of Wight...and the 'rads went crazy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yy1-1QuhMnc
The G-2 on her: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imelda_May She has a disc freshly out called Tribal (mostly self-written, some with her husband and siblings--no other info available). European tour this fall. Want to get in touch? http://imeldamay.co.uk/

French pianist and his (usually) trio, take famous Classical works from assorted composers and transcribe them into their Jazz forms. This comp collects together some of the best of his numerous JS Bach translations.
If you're familiar with the originals it's interesting to hear how the band stretch and bend them into pieces which sound as if they were written as Jazz works.
A refreshing listen.
Not scored on AllMusic.
Also helicopter pilot and excellent winemaker. AMG's reluctance to rate or review his music entire is baffling, especially in light of the fact that what they do rate, they rate highly. It's not "classical lite", it's classical taken a bit of a different way. I like everything I've heard and own most. Some selections:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TMMA_AxT2k << ...and Satie--I love this piece, whoever is doing it

From 1973.
Pete Townshend rounded up an all-star band (see album cover) and managed to coax EC out of a two-year heroin trough for a couple of dates, and this live album captures the gigs.
Loads of Clapton's good stuff - from pre-1973 - and whilst this is not well critically regarded, it still makes for a solid album.
AllMusic 3/5 stars.

And, with all due respect, maybe got buried there. "Too much of a good thing...is never enough." So saith JazzboCR.
