<description><![CDATA[Part Celtic bard, part soulster, and part ecstatically scatting mystical visionary, Van Morrison is a painfully introverted figure who rarely gives interviews and is often at a loss to explain his own lyrics. In the studio, Van Morrison can sing like a soul man getting the spirit; onstage, however, his brilliance can be undercut by whim or temper, and he has upon occasion alienated audiences by rushing through songs and remaining aloof between them. Nonetheless, his influence among rock singer/songwriters is unrivaled by any living artist outside of that other prickly legend, Bob Dylan. Echoes of Morrison's rugged literateness and his gruff, feverishly emotive vocal style can be heard in latter-day icons ranging from Bruce Springsteen to Elvis Costello, while the Irish artist's own restless muse has kept him prolific and engaging through the '90s.<br><br>
Morrison's mother sang at social gatherings, and his father collected classic blues and jazz records. He learned guitar, saxophone, and harmonica while in school, and was playing with Belfast blues, jazz, and rock bands by his mid-teens. At 15, he quit school, joined an R&B band called the Monarchs, and toured Europe with them as saxophonist. While in Germany, a film director offered Morrison a role in a movie as a jazz saxophonist. The project was dropped, and Morrison returned to Belfast and opened an R&B club in the Maritime Hotel. He recruited some friends to form Them, which became an immediate local sensation as the club's house band.<br><br>
Them recorded two singles in late 1964: "Don't Start Crying Now" (a local hit) and Big Joe Williams' "Baby Please Don't Go" (which made the British Top 10 in early 1965). After the latter's success, the band moved to London and hooked up with producer Bert Berns. They recorded Berns' "Here Comes the Night," which went to Number Two in the U.K. and made the Top 30 in the U.S. Them's next two singles, "Gloria" (by Morrison) and "Mystic Eyes," were minor U.S. hits; "Gloria" was later covered by the Shadows of Knight (who took the song to Number 10 in 1966) and Patti Smith. Them's lineup underwent constant changes, and Berns brought in sessionmen, including Jimmy Page, for their albums. After a mostly unsuccessful U.S. tour in 1966, the group returned to England. Morrison disbanded Them, which soon re-formed with Ken McDowell as vocalist.<br><br>
Morrison, meanwhile, grew frustrated by music-business manipulations (Them had wrongly been given a rough-kids image by their company), stopped performing, and moved back to Belfast. Meanwhile, Bert Berns (a.k.a. B. Russell) formed Bang Records in New York, and sent Morrison a plane ticket and an invitation to record four singles for his new label. One of them, "Brown Eyed Girl," reached Number 10 in the U.S. in 1967. Morrison toured America but was again disgruntled when Berns released the other singles &Number 8212; which Morrison considered demos &Number 8212; as <i>Blowin' Your Mind</i>.
After Berns died of a sudden heart attack in December 1967, Morrison undertook an East Coast tour and wrote material for his next album. Warner Bros. president Joe Smith signed him in early 1968, and Morrison went into a New York studio that summer with numerous jazz musicians. In 48 hours he cut one of rock's least classifiable, most enduring albums, <i>Astral Weeks</i>, the first manifestation of Morrison's Irish-romantic mysticism. Though most of its cuts were meandering and impressionistic, with folky guitars over jazzy rhythms topped by Morrison's soul-styled vocals, critics raved; the album is still considered one of Morrison's richest, most powerful efforts.<br><br>
His next album, <i>Moondance</i> (Number 29, 1970), traded the jazz-and-strings sound of <i>Astral Weeks</i> for a horn-section R&B bounce. The title tune and "Come Running" were chart singles, the latter in 1970 (Number 39), the former not until late 1977. The fittingly titled "Into the Mystic" became a minor hit for Johnny Rivers, while "Caravan" became an FM radio favorite. It was the first Morrison album to chart in the Top 100, and it eventually went platinum. <i>His Band and the Street Choir</i> (Number 32, 1970) yielded two uptempo R&B-flavored Top 40 hits in "Domino" (Number 9, 1970) and "Blue Money" (Number 23, 1971). By this time, Morrison had moved to Marin County, California, and married a woman who called herself Janet Planet.<br><br>
<i>Tupelo Honey</i> (Number 27, 1971) reflected his new domestic contentment. It yielded a hit in "Wild Night" (Number 28) and went gold, thanks to progressive FM radio, which latched on to the lyrical title tune (featuring Modern Jazz Quartet drummer Connie Kay). <i>St. Dominic's Preview</i> (Number 15, 1972) included the minor hit single "Jackie Wilson Said" (Number 61) and contained two extended journeys into the mystic: "Listen to the Lion" and "Almost Independence Day." In 1972 Morrison guested on the John Lee Hooker–Charlie Musselwhite album <i>Never Get Out of These Blues Alive</i>.<br><br>
By the time of <i>Hard Nose the Highway</i> (Number 27, 1973), Morrison had formed the 11-piece Caledonia Soul Orchestra, which was featured on the live LP <i>It's Too Late to Stop Now</i>. In 1973, though, Morrison suddenly divorced Janet Planet, disbanded the Caledonia Soul Orchestra, and returned to Belfast for the first time since 1966. There he began writing material for <i>Veedon Fleece</i> (Number 53, 1974).<br><br>
Morrison took three years to produce a followup. He reportedly began sessions for an album four different times (one with jazz-funk band the Crusaders), but completed none. By 1976, he was living in California again. Late that year he appeared at the Band's farewell concert and in Martin Scorsese's film of the event, <i>The Last Waltz</i>. Finally, in 1977 came <i>A Period of Transition</i> (Number 43, 1977), which featured short jazz and R&B-oriented tunes and backup by pianist Mac "Dr. John" Rebennack. For <i>Wavelength</i> (Number 28, 1978), Morrison took on concert promoter Bill Graham as manager (they split in 1981); the album sold fairly well. Still, Morrison's chronic stage fright continued to plague him. At a 1979 show at New York's Palladium, he stormed off the stage midset without a word and didn't return.<br><br>
The more serene <i>Into the Music</i> (Number 43, 1979) implied that Morrison had become a born-again Christian, and <i>Common One</i> (Number 73, 1980) delved more into extended mysticism. <i>Beautiful Vision</i> (Number 44, 1982) was more varied and concise, and it generated, as usual, sizable critical acclaim and respectable sales. It also included "Cleaning Windows," which contained references to such Morrison inspirations as Lead Belly, bluesmen Blind Lemon Jefferson, Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee, and Muddy Waters, as well as Beat author Jack Kerouac and country singer Jimmie Rodgers. <i>Inarticulate Speech of the Heart</i> (Number 116, 1983) offered "special thanks" to L. Ron Hubbard, founder of the Church of Scientology.<br><br>
With <i>A Sense of Wonder</i> (Number 61, 1985), Morrison continued on his spiritual journey and drew further on literary influences, incorporating the work of a favorite poet, William Blake, on the track "Let the Slave." Meanwhile, Morrison rediscovered his ethnic roots and wanderlust, leaving his California home to travel nomadlike through Dublin, Belfast, and London. On <i>No Guru, No Method, No Teacher</i> (Number 70, 1986), the singer shared this sense of rebirth, while the album's title sneered at critics who had tried to pigeonhole his religious beliefs.<br><br>
Morrison delved deeper into Celtic imagery with <i>Poetic Champions Compose</i> (Number 90, 1987) and collaborated with Ireland's best-loved traditional band, the Chieftains, on <i>Irish Heartbeat</i> (Number 102, 1988). <i>Avalon Sunset</i> (Number 91, 1989) contained "Whenever God Shines His Light on Me," a duet with Cliff Richard that became Morrison's first British Top 20 single since his days with Them, and "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You," which in 1993 became a Number Five U.S. hit for Rod Stewart.<br><br>
Morrison entered the '90s with the nostalgia-drenched <i>Enlightenment</i> (Number 62, 1990), on which he recalled first becoming acquainted with rock & roll and continued to explore the links between spiritual and romantic love. These themes carried over onto the similarly acclaimed double album <i>Hymns to the Silence</i> (Number 99, 1991), while on <i>Too Long in Exile</i> (Number 29, 1993), the singer brought things full circle, covering songs by some of his heroes &Number 8212; including Ray Charles and Sonny Boy Williamson &Number 8212; and duetting with John Lee Hooker on Them's "Gloria," with enough ardor to dispel any suspicions that age had mellowed him. Hooker, in fact, turned up as a surprise guest at some of Morrison's concerts in the early '90s, and Morrison would produce two of Hooker's albums in the late '90s. Morrison's spirited 1993 performances in San Francisco, documented on <i>A Night in San Francisco</i> (recorded December 18), were indicative of his renewed vigor onstage. That same year, Morrison was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. A couple of years later, <i>How Long Has This Been Going On</i> (1996), a live jazz show recorded with Georgie Fame and Friends at Ronnie Scott's Club in London in 1995 also attested to his renewed energy. Nevertheless, <i>Days Like This</i> (Number 33, 1995) and <i>The Healing Game</i> (Number 32, 1997) were railed by critics as predictable, lackluster performances, especially Morrison's vocals; the former, however, included two duets with his daughter, Shana. Morrison took on an elder-statesman role when the song "Days Like This" was adopted as a peace anthem in Northern Ireland, and he received an Order of the British Empire title in 1996. A prolific artist, he continued his extraordinary output of an album nearly every year, and released <i>The Philosopher's Stone</i>, a two-disc set of previously unreleased material, in 1998. <i>Back on Top</i>, an album of new material, followed the next year. In 2000 Morrison was inspired by working with other musicians, and he released a concert recording of skiffle tunes performed with Lonnie Donegan, <i>The Skiffle Sessions: Live in Belfast, 1998</i>, and <i>You Win Again</i>, an album of country, rockabilly, and blues covers performed with singer/pianist Linda Gail Lewis, the sister of Jerry Lee Lewis.<br><br>

<description><![CDATA[In the early 1970s, Walter Becker and Donald Fagen began an extremely influential collaboration, adding jazzy harmonies and complex changes to memorable pop hooks, creating a slew of Jazz Rock classics in the process. "Rikki Don't Lose That Number," "Kid Charlemagne," and "Peg" proved their prowess as hit songwriters that defied traditional means of songwriting, adding their biting humor and subtle lyrical style. Their sound reached its crux as the pair hired top session and jazz musicians to add a polished touch. With horns by jazz veterans like Phil Woods and Wayne Shorter covering the upper ranges, guitarists Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter and Larry Carlton added pristine, jazzy guitar solos over the crisp rhythms of drummers Jeff Porcaro and Steve Gadd. Over the years Steely Dan has attracted diverse listeners, from hip-hop samplers to fans of a musically exciting, finely crafted melody

<description><![CDATA[Not to be confused with Boston or Kansas, Chicago forged a driving, horn-filled, white jazz-rock-soul sound before staggering into their later romantic ballad era, which eventually led to grizzled-geezer casino tours. Their many platinum-selling hits were catchy enough to stay in your head after just a glance at their title ("25 or 6 to 4," "Saturday in the Park," "You're the Inspiration").

<description><![CDATA[Beck got his start in the Yardbirds, a group that also boasted the one-time membership of Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton. Beck experimented with electronic effects and played the snarling, distorted solo on the wonderful "Heart Full of Soul." After leaving the Yardbirds he started the Jeff Beck Group, along with future solo star Rod Stewart on vocals and eventual Rolling Stone Ron Wood on bass. The band played electrifying Blues Rock -- Stewart's mighty voice was a perfect match for Beck's over-the-top, Buddy Guy-influenced guitar attack. Beck continued to grow as a stylist and an innovator after the Jeff Beck Group broke up, but he has never had a vocalist anywhere near as good as Stewart. Of his later works, his best are the Fusion type instrumental records that he made in the mid- to late-1970s, the most notable being <i>Blow By Blow</i>.

<description><![CDATA[The original Traffic had two phases. At first it was a winsomely psychedelic pop band that blended blues, folk, rock, and R&B and was fronted by Steve Winwood and Dave Mason. This group recorded such FM-radio favorites as "Paper Sun" and "You Can All Join In." After Mason left, the band became Steve Winwood's vehicle for longer, moodier excursions that leaned closer to jazz and soul. This group was responsible for "Glad," "Freedom Rider," "Empty Pages," and "Rock & Roll Stew." Traffic was popular in both incarnations.
<br><br>
When the band formed in 1967, Steve Winwood was its best-known member because of his lead vocals with the Spencer Davis Group. Winwood left that band to found Traffic. He and his friends Chris Wood, Jim Capaldi, and Dave Mason wrote and rehearsed in a cottage in the English countryside. Traffic's debut LP, <i>Mr. Fantasy</i>, contained two British hits, "Paper Sun" and "Hole in My Shoe." But conflicts between Mason's pop style and Winwood's jazz ambitions flared up and in late 1967 Mason split, first joining up with Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett before pursuing a solo career. A 1968 film called <i>Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush</i> contained some of Traffic's music, and the theme song was a minor hit.
<br><br>
Despite differences with Winwood, Mason helped cut Traffic, contributing the oft-covered "Feelin' Alright." But by 1968 he had left again. It looked like Traffic was finished in 1969, when Winwood joined Blind Faith with Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker, and Rick Grech. However, Blind Faith proved short-lived, and after a stint in Ginger Baker's Air Force in 1970 Winwood began recording his first solo album, the working title of which was <i>Mad Shadows</i>. Capaldi and Wood sat in on some sessions, and the LP became Traffic's fifth and most commercially successful album, John <i>Barleycorn Must Die</i> (Number Five, 1970), a gold album and a staple of "progressive" FM radio. The group then added Grech. The next year, before recording <i>Welcome to the Canteen</i>, Reebop Kwaku Baah was added on percussion. In addition, that live album featured Jim Gordon augmenting Capaldi on drums and a guest appearance by Mason. Despite the success of the gold album <i>The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys</i> (Number Seven, 1971), Gordon and Grech departed.
<br><br>
Winwood was then stricken with peritonitis, and so the band was temporarily sidelined. Capaldi cut a solo album (<i>Oh! How We Danced</i>) in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, and in the process he recruited session players bassist David Hood and drummer Roger Hawkins into the band. They appeared on <i>Shoot Out at the Fantasy Factory</i> (Number Six, 1973) and with another Muscle Shoals musician, keyboardist Barry Beckett, on the live <i>Traffic on the Road</i> (Number 29, 1973). By the sessions for <i>When the Eagle Flies</i> (Number Nine, 1974), only the original trio of Winwood, Wood, and Capaldi plus bassist Rosco Gee were left. After that album's release, Winwood and Capaldi started their solo careers in earnest. Gee and Kwaku Baah joined Can. Wood died in 1983 in his London apartment after a long illness; Grech died seven years later of kidney and liver failure precipitated by a hemorrhage. Kwaku Baah died of a brain hemorrhage.
<br><br>
Winwood enjoyed the most successful solo career of any of his former band mates. In 1994 he and Capaldi joined forces for what was termed a Traffic reunion (Gee performed in the touring band), and under the group name released the critically well received <i>Far From Home</i> (Number 33, 1994). Shortly thereafter, they returned to their solo endeavors.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Bay Area funksters who, after several well-received performances at San Francisco's Fillmore in the late 1960s, tore through the '70s with their intricate first-rate Funk. Their complex arrangements drew traces of Jazz, but the music was all Funk. Bottomed out by a baritone sax, horn soaked hits like "What is Hip" and "You're Still a Young Man" had many a rump shaking. So tight and talented was this collection of longhairs called a horn section, that they basically sustained their career by loaning it out to other artists from Public Image Ltd. to Sammy (the Red Rocker) Hagar. Now content to run the Country Fair and Resort circuit and hobnob with Paul Schaffer.

<description><![CDATA[The singing half of Steely Dan, Donald Fagen dripped with grad school irony while showing off a library of pop, jazz and R&B influences when sincere singers ruled the 1970s roost. Maybe that's why the original wave of Indie rockers hated him so much -- he's just like them, but with complex harmonies and chords replacing the Velvets and punk rock. After Steely Dan ran its course, Fagen released the excellent <I>The Nightfly</I> in 1982. A new sweetness was apparent on this theme album involving a 1950s adolescent dreaming about adult romance and adventure. The rest of the Reagan decade was a professional wash for Fagen, but at least he got around writer's block by penning the score to <I>Bright Lights, Big City</I>. He later called Steely Dan's Walter Becker in order to get a creative kick in the butt, and together they crafted <I>Kamakiriad</I> (1993), a typically sunny/bleak Fagen theme album that took the listener on a tour of retro-futurist ennui. Since he and Becker were working together again anyway, they reformed Steely Dan.

<description><![CDATA[First of all it's "Revved up like a <I>deuce</I>, another runner in the night," so grow up already. And secondly, Bruce Springsteen wrote that song, not Manfred Mann. Third and finally, you should know that Manfred Mann was originally a mod R&B band with a hip British invasion sound by way of Georgie Fame-inspired jazz influences long before the front man (actually named Manfred Mann) went out on his own to play and record Doobie Brothers by way of Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band-sounding bar rock.

<description><![CDATA[Depending on where you cut in, Tim Buckley's music may or may not even remotely resemble your expectations of it. Driven by his own artistic gadfly into ever more experimental and commercially remote terrain, Buckley debuted as a lotus-eating flower child nursed on psychedelic milk. His next three releases, however, showed him taking a turn toward long, West Coast Jazz-influenced song structures and shifting his tone from Aquarian dreaminess to a Chet Baker-like breezy sadness. As Buckley's interest in jazz came more to focus on Avant-Garde improvisers such as Ornette Coleman, he increasingly endeavored to use his own voice as a wind instrument. <i>Lorca</i> (1970) is filled with crane whoops, banshee wails and what might be mistaken for raunchy alien mating calls. Until his death, Buckley continued to tirelessly pursue new artistic outlets, even at the cost of leaving his fans far behind. From the Las Vegas-friendly, Blue-Eyed Soul of "Because of You" to the dry hump Funk of "Come Up Here Woman" Buckley continued pushing his incredible voice to new heights, earning him the posthumous respect of artists as far afield as Patti Smith and This Mortal Coil.

<description><![CDATA[The lead singer for Prog Rock giants Yes finds himself traversing jazzy, Worldbeat-influenced Lite Rock that retains the dense arrangements and intricate song structures favored by his primary band. Emphasis is on a groovy dance feel that is appropriate for listeners who enjoy slick production and mature songwriting.

<description><![CDATA[An immensely creative player, Belew can coax the oddest sounds from a guitar, making elephant roars and swooping whammy dives sound as natural as a fleet-fingered blues lick. His Stratocaster wails are an extension of Jimi Hendrix's playing, taking psychedelic freedom to the next level. As a studio musician Belew adds a personal voice, which becomes an integral part of a session, evidenced on recordings by King Crimson, David Bowie, the Talking Heads, Frank Zappa, Nine Inch Nails and many more. On his own albums, Belew started out quite experimental, eventually returning to his roots, writing poppy songs with a strong Beatles influence.

<description><![CDATA[Known originally for his skin-pounding, highly influential playing in the '60s, Ginger Baker drove Cream's powerful sound and forced many a youngster to drop out of school to play drums. Baker has since slipped in and out of the music scene, shifting from heavy rock to jazz and world. While living in Africa he performed with Fela 'Ransome' Kuti before forming a string of different fusion ensembles. More recent work with artists such as Charlie Haden and Bill Frisell have helped Baker prove that he can aptly play in a jazz setting, while collaborations with Bill Laswell produced a cultural/musical mish-mash featuring top instrumentalists from around the globe.

<description><![CDATA[Formed in the late '60s, these San Franciscans sounded like Tower of Power with Janis Joplin on lead vocals. In their songs, punchy horns and organ jabs ride over some exceptionally tight funk drumming, with everything centered around the soulful wails of Lydia Pense. Guest artists such as the Pointer Sisters helped enhance the sound, but Cold Blood never had the hit they needed to break out. Rumored to be reunited.

<description><![CDATA[Yes, at their worst China Crisis can sound like Level 42 -- just a couple of nice English guys who make vaguely pleasing generic pap. But at their best, they marry keen pop instincts to Blue Nile and Talk Talk style experimentation. Oddly enough, much of their work holds up surprisingly well, showing a strong Steely Dan and Burt Bacharach influence. This mix of sweet music and sour emotion is currently being claimed by Indie acts, so it turns out that China Crisis were ahead of the game -- listen to Jim O'Rourke's <i>Eureka</i> (1999) and compare. Avoid their hit albums for the more rewarding <i>Dairy of a Hollow Horse</i> (1989) and <i>Warped By Success</i> (1994).

<description><![CDATA[Inspired by the open and elaborate music of John Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders, French jazz musician Christian Vander formed Magma at the dawn of the '70s. Magma became a vehicle for music called Zeuhl that is as free and 'chaotic' as Free Jazz, yet as composed and monumental as late twentieth century classical. He wrote lyrics in a new language, Kobaian, and created an entire mythology that was explored throughout the band's life. Magma's records evolve like operas. Movements rise and fall, shifting instrumental arrangements and giving way to vocal narratives, invariably performed by a revolving door of master musicians. Since its inception, Magma has generated an immense cult following and inspired many musicians from Mike Oldfield to Ruins.

<description><![CDATA[Beginning his musical career as half of Everything But the Girl (with wife Tracey Thorn), Ben Watt has gone on to become a producer, DJ and founder of Buzzin' Fly Records. The house stage of Watt's life began with Todd Terry's 1995 remix of Everything But the Girl's "Missing," which Watt then remixed under the pseudonym Little Joey before going on to dabble in drum 'n' bass with "Wrong," a UK Top 10 hit from the <I>Walking Wounded</I> album. Subsequent clubland success led to a partnership with KISS-FM's Jay Hannan and their formation of the U.K. club night Lazy Dog. The five-year event spawned two compilations and a number of remixes for Sade, Maxwell and Sunshine Anderson, among others, along with the breakout hit "Tracey in My Room," released on Astralwerks in 2000. Since ending Lazy Dog in 2003, Watt has turned his attentions to his deep-house label Buzzin' Fly and its pop offshoot, Feeling Strange, refining his own soulful sound with releases like "Lone Cat" and "A Stronger Man." In 2008, Buzzin' Fly -- which he describes as "replenishing music for the modern soul" -- released the anniversary compilation <I>5 Golden Years in the Wilderness</I>.

<description><![CDATA[Electronic Ambient pieces that, in their orchestral sweep, 4/4 backbeat, and passionate guitar solos, recall classic '70s Prog-Rock. Spiritually questing power ballads aim for the bleachers. Celtic-influenced tunes recall a fusion of Sting and Enya.

<description><![CDATA[As a member of the Doors, a solo performer, a producer and an arranger, Ray Manzarek has proven himself to be a talented and mercurial artist, keeping himself busy long after his original band ceased to be. He's added his organ and sonic know-how to groups such as X and Echo and the Bunnymen; he's also recorded his thoughts about his experiences with the late Jim Morrison.

<description><![CDATA[Lost Tribe remind you that Jazz Fusion can be cutting edge. They create a potent mix of everything from Free Jazz to Folk-Rock. Think of Coltrane leading a funked-up Willie Nelson.
