Van Morrison - Born to Sing: No Plan B (2012)
Review in Jazzwise Magazine by Stephen Graham:
"Van Morrison (v, p, el g, as), Paul Moran
(Hammond Org, kys p, t), Alistair White (tb), Christopher White (ts,
ct), Dave Keary (g), Paul Moore (b) and Jeff Lardner (d). Rec. date not
stated
Van Morrison has jazz in his blood,
only a fool would think otherwise, and Born to Sing is the latest
proof although none is needed. His second for Blue Note, the first
What’s Wrong With This Picture? was notable for the poignant ‘Little
Village’, a song his fans immediately took to their hearts. Chances are
the title track ‘Born to Sing’ will be joining the pantheon of his
best songs of the last 25 years, up there with the wondrous ‘Fast
Train’, ‘Only a Dream’, and ‘Celtic New Year’. On this, his first
studio album since Keep it Simple, this time recorded unusually in his
home town of Belfast, Morrison has come up with the goods once again
after the commercial and critical success of Keep It Simple and the
huge interest shown when he followed it by releasing a live album based
on his great 1960s masterpiece, Astral Weeks.
Why
he delivers here is mainly because of the anthemic title track, with
its showband feel and rousing lyrics, although other tunes such as the
bluesy ‘Pagan Heart’ are among a string of strong songs. ‘Close Enough
For Jazz’, which adds words to an older instrumental version of the
song, is a grower, with some deep-down low singing from Morrison, who
turned 67 at the end of August, and a melody that recalls some of his
playful work with Georgie Fame on albums such as How Long Has This Been
Going On? ‘Educating Archie’ is the joker in the pack, recalling in its
title, but not in its lyrics, an old radio show, later on TV,
featuring a self willed ventriloquist’s dummy eventually ruling the
roost. The album, which also tackles issues facing society including
the relentless pursuit of money whatever the cost on the song ‘If In
Money We Trust’, has a stripped down small band backing with fine
trombone, good horn unisons and a stand-out electric guitar intro
cutting the air like a razor on ‘Pagan Heart’."

Scott Walker's Bish Bosch due December 3
Bosch, Hieronymous (c. 1450–1516), Dutch painter
Bish bosh (sl.), job done, sorted
“I was thinking about making the title refer to a mythological, all-encompassing, giant woman artist.” Scott Walker
A Hieronymous Bosch painting can’t be apprehended in a single blink of an eye. The Garden of Earthly Delights is made up of panels in parallel, with scores of tiny actions and allegorical representations teeming in every square inch of canvas. The painting is big enough to encompass heaven and hell.
Perhaps we should listen to Scott’s music in the same way we’d approach a Bosch canvas. You probably won’t understand it after one viewing, but you can become obsessed with one corner detail another until you eventually come to some understanding of how the different parts fit together and complement each other.
“It’s moving on a bit each time we go. Hopefully it’s getting nearer and nearer the kind of thing that’s in our heads. Little things are improving, a bit more focused. The style is improving.”
Since the 1960s, Scott Walker has scaled the heights of pop superstardom, produced some of the most revered solo albums of the late sixties, coasted on his laurels during the seventies, then metamorphosed into something very different. The music he has been making at his own pace since the early eighties might be utterly estranged from the songs that made him a household name, but they stem from the privacy he requires to write this complex and hugely inventive music.
Bish Bosch is the latest in Scott’s discography to pursue the line of enquiry he began back in 1978, with his four devastatingly original songs on the Walker Brothers’ swansong, Nite Flights, and continuing through Climate of Hunter (1984), Tilt (1995), The Drift (2006). He has continued to mature and develop in a late style utterly at odds with the music that made him a superstar, a lifetime ago, but which is totally honest, uncompromising and transcendent.
Scott began writing his new material around 2009, and recorded it sporadically over the following three years, while he was also involved in composing a work for the ROH2 ballet Duet for One Voice, chorographed by Aletta Collins. Unsurprisingly for a long-term exile from his native America, Bish Bosch is a great melting pot of clamouring voices and languages, swift scene-changes (the album’s geographic reach covers Denmark, the Alps, Hawaii, the ancient landscapes of Scythia, Greece and Rome, and Romania), time-travelling jump-cuts, and metaphors from medical science and molecular biology that seize you by the throat...

Sound Of Creation: Adrian Sherwood's 13 Favourite Albums
'I know music means nothing to some people but for others it's like Bill Shankly and football and life and death. It's everything, it's all consuming. That's how growing up was for me. That was my upbringing'
Fired up in his pre-teens by the first great wave of reggae in the UK charts, Adrian Sherwood has been active in the music business since the age of 13 as a DJ, producer of Lee "Scratch" Perry among others, solo artist and label founder. In the mid-1970s, as co-founder of labels like Carib Gems and Pressure Sounds, he was instrumental in the distribution of some of Jamaica's most legendary massive recording and recording artists into Britain.
However, it's as the founder of On-U-Sound during the post-punk era that he is most famous, having applied his blistering dub treatments not just to artists on his own roster such as Bim Sherman, African Headcharge and Tackhead, but also to a range of sometimes unlikely artists that includes Mark Stewart, Sinead O' Connor, Depeche Mode, Skinny Puppy and Einstürzende Neubauten. He cut his first solo album, with the heartfelt title of Never Trust A Hippy, in 2003. Last month saw the release of his latest solo work, Survival & Resistance.
Sherwood met up with the Quietus to discuss 13 favourite albums, which range all the way from Ray Charles and BBC library music to Augustus Pablo and Burning Spear...
