    This is a fair collection from Mr. Byrd. My favorite tunes on this album are "Onward 'til morning" and "Tell me." Three stars!

    3 out of 5 stars Not Terrible...Not Great.......2003-05-10

    I love Donald Byrd's output in the 1970's. From "Black Byrd" through "Places and Spaces" he was consistent in delivering compelling crossover music that jazz purists detested. There seems to be a departure on Caricatures from the blaxploitation influence of the aforementioned albums. This CD has an obvious disco influence that makes it seem a little contrived and cheesy at times. I realize that from the mid to late 70's disco had an effect on all genres of music (Kiss-"I was made for loving you", Rolling Stones-"Miss You"..to name a few) but the influence here just doesn't seem to work. The vocals on the album are a little too forced and don't sound free and airy like the vocals on earlier efforts. I can understand why this hasn't been released on CD sooner. If you are a huge Donald Byrd fan - buy it..you may enjoy it. If you are looking for a starting point in his 70's Blue Note output - go with Black Byrd.

    Very pleased with the promptness of delivery. However, the CD is damaged. The quality of the CD is fine, with the exception of one track, which happened to be the track that I purchased the CD for. It is faulty and does not play - I was very disappointed

    5 out of 5 stars Superb Music, Superb Players, Superb Recording.......2001-07-03

    Anyone who thinks that bands today play only Sousa marches and pop tunes will be knocked out of their socks and shoes when they hear this (or any other North Texas) recording. Several friends of mine that were in band (high school and college) often ask me what band music is like today, especially if they haven't heard any in the past 10-15 years. When they hear this group, they are stunned.

    Band directors and those who follow the band world have known about these recordings for years, but sadly much of the general public thinks that band music is either boring or of a very low quality. Not so. Eugene Corporon and many others like him have done an outstanding job of programming quality band works and bringing them before the public. Composers who would never have considered writing music for concert band 15 or 20 years ago are now very eager to compose for the wind band. Times have changed and it's an exciting time for band literature.

    Deja Vu opens with Adam Gorb's "Awayday," which the composer describes as "Gershwin, Bernstein, Stravinsky, and James Bond traveling together at a hundred miles per hour in an open-top sports car." It is an exciting, enegetic, fun piece. The disc closes with one of the most exciting pieces to be written for band in the past several years, Frank Ticheli's "Blue Shades," an electrifying blues/jazz powerhouse that brings to mind the Big Band era and more. In between these pieces is even more great music of various styles from outstanding composers such as Michael Colgrass and Leslie Bassett.

    Mr. Corporon is dedicated to taking band music to another level. The North Texas recordings feature the highest quality music recorded with state-of-the-art equipment. A very fine disc!

    5 out of 5 stars Blue Shades was the best.......2000-01-08

    Blue Shades is probably one of the best band works I have ever heard and played. I played alto sax on this piece at a music camp last year, and Ticheli's complex layering of flat thirds, fifths, and sevenths is just absolutely delicous. Get it.

    5 out of 5 stars Another dynamic breakthrough for the University of North Tex.......1999-10-21

    Blue Shades is awesome, such dynamics. Close your eyes when you listen to it, you can actually see the different shades of blue before your eyes. Technique and quality is superb, and another wonderfull conducting job. Its emotions will have you tired.

    Album Description

    ANGE is, no doubt about it, the most popular of the French Progressive rock bands. Its music is based on Christian DECAMPS's unmistakable and melodramatic voice, his brother Francis's powerful organ sounds as well as on the development of energetic and intense medieval lines. The line-up invented its own style, both epic and delirious, and that blends madness, emotions and exacerbated feelings. This poetic and typically French rock was noticeable from the band's beginnings in 1969, and then got more formal on “Caricatures”, their first album issued three years later.

    Customer Reviews:

    4 out of 5 stars Great first album from french prog-masters.......2006-11-20

    This five-piece band, originally formed in 1969, released their first album "Caricatures" in 1972. The music presented here gives us a solid statement of what is to come within the next years. The music has been described as dramatic, theatrical progressive rock which is a suitable description. Some might claim that David Decamps' vocals tend to be somewhat to melodramatic. But what the hey, I like it anyway. It suits the music perfectly in my opinion.
    This album, together with the following "Le Cimetiere Des Arlequins", offers "a dark and brooding" atmosphere, more so than the later albums. Just check out the opening track "Ce Gens-La" where Davids brother Francis contributes strongly to this with his organ and mellotron.
    This album should appeal to those of you who enjoy prog contemporaries like for instance Genesis(w/Peter Gabriel), King Crimson(w/Greg Lake), Van Der Graaf Generator and Beggars Opera a.o. Even though it's easy to draw lines to those mentioned above the music sounds distinctly french, having their own musical heritage as a major influence. The band has also inspired a lot of other french acts, especially Mona Lisa. A great band, but Ange was the one to set the standards.

    4 out of 5 stars underrated gem.......2006-10-09

    In the same vein as the "Cimetière des Arlequins"...An extremely funny rocking album!
