BENNETT TONY DUETS AN AMERICAN CLASSIC
At this point, who else but Tony Bennett would have the clout to round up stars on the scale of Elton John, Paul McCartney, Bono, Celine Dion and Barbra Streisand for some duets? (Note also that unlike some similar projects, all the parties involved on this CD were alive when it was recorded!) The material consists of relatively obvious classics in standard big-band arrangements, and Bennett himself is in top form at age 80, so much so that he doesn't need anybody else to handle "I Left My Heart in San Francisco." But the fun comes from checking out how his collaborators fare. The Dixie Chicks provide wonderful Andrews Sisters-type harmonies on the percolating version of "Lullaby of Broadway" that opens the festivities. The best songs tend to be the ones where Bennett's slightly craggy voice is juxtaposed to smooth female ones, like Diana Krall on "The Best Is Yet to Come," familiar accomplice k.d. lang on the sultry "Because of You" and Streisand—-perhaps Bennett's only equal in stature at this point—on "Smile." Among the less expected guests, soulman John Legend is a revelation on the hard-swinging "Sing, You Sinners," while George Michael confirms he's quite the crooner on "How Do You Keep the Music Playing?" Elvis Costello, Celine Dion or Juanes don't sound as comfortable, and sometimes it feels as if they overdo it to compensate, but overall this collection is among the best of its kind, with most guests rising to the occasion. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Maroon 5 aren't the first band to fuse R&B and rock, but they certainly are one of the most convincing. One can almost hear Stevie Wonder's beaded braids clattering in time to their deep, funky grooves. At best, the band conjures up latter-day Motown, complete with a shuddering organ and hyperbolic vocals; at worst, they sound like a stylized boy band, with all the attendant close harmonies and dramatic pauses. But despite these musical schisms, Maroon 5 are a thoroughly engaging outfit, thanks to throbbing bass lines, hooky songs, and lead singer Adam Levin's swaggering delivery. --Jaan Uhelszki

From Wikipedia: Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever was a 1983 television special produced by Suzanne de Passe for Motown Records, to commemorate Motown's twenty-fifth year of existence. (Motown was founded in January 1959, meaning that a twenty-fifth anniversary special should have aired in 1984, not 1983. One could argue that Gordy's vision of what would become "Hitsville U.S.A." was conceived in 1958, considering the month of Motown's founding.) The show was also co-written by de Passe along with Ruth Adkins Robinson who would go on to write shows with de Passe for the next 25 years, including the follow up label tributes-through "Motown 40," Buz Kohan was the head writer of the threesome. The program was taped before a live studio audience at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in Pasadena, California on March 25, 1983,[1] and broadcast on NBC on May 16. Among its highlights were Michael Jackson's iconic performance of "Billie Jean", a Temptations/Four Tops "battle of the bands", Marvin Gaye's inspired speech about black music history and his memorable performance of "What's Going On", a Jackson 5 reunion, and an abbreviated reunion of Diana Ross & the Supremes, who performed their final #1 hit, "Someday We'll Be Together" from 1969.

Studio: Wea-des Moines Video Release Date: 11/18/1997 Run time: 90 minutes
With each passing year bringing another high-profile rock reunion, prompted as often by balloon mortgage payments as any real artistic hunger, old fans could be excused for greeting 1997's announcement that the big Mac was back with skepticism: at their commercial zenith, Fleetwood Mac had offered superb transatlantic pop-rock with the added spice of a remarkable back-story, but the band's long decline and underwhelming later personnel shifts didn't bode well. Such guarded expectations make the musical punch of The Dance all the more impressive, and enable the meticulously produced concert special to genuinely surprise. The band's musicianship--the one constant between the original, late '60s English blues band and its platinum '70s lineup featuring guitarist Lindsey Buckingham and singer Stevie Nicks--is in peak form, buttressed by a discreet auxiliary of additional musicians. Even with the hired guns, though, it's the rock-solid rhythm section of founders Mick Fleetwood and John McVie, and Buckingham's impassioned playing that strike sparks. Always a dynamic guitarist, Buckingham brings feverish intensity to both group classics and solo turns such as "Go Insane." Both familiar hits and new songs (including the solid "Temporary One" and "Bleed to Love Her") further confirm that this isn't a rote exercise--the band sounds fully engaged. Buckingham, Nicks, and the elegant Christine McVie retain their vocal charm (although Nicks has clearly lost her upper register). And the sense of old wounds healed, and older affections acknowledged, gives true poignancy to the set's high mark, a brilliant live version of "Silver Springs," a truly haunting Rumours-era B-side that proves deeply moving. --Sam Sutherland

Here are some more information for Stevie Wonder:
Perfect pitch, also called "absolute pitch," is the ability to accurately identify a tone without relying on a reference. In other words, when someone hears a single note from a piano and knows right away that it's an F, that person has perfect pitch. That in itself sounds handy enough, but just what are the benefits of perfect pitch for musicians?
In its most basic sense, perfect pitch means that an individual is capable of correctly identifying a tone in any given musical context, regardless of instrument or timbre, just by hearing it. People with perfect pitch can even identify the tones coming from everyday objects, like car horns or telephones, or speaking voices.
Having absolute pitch will allow you to identify not just single notes, but multiple simultaneous notes as well. Thus, musicians with perfect pitch know immediately what chords they're hearing. If you have perfect pitch, you can even identify the key of a given piece of music.
The implications of these skills for musicians are significant. Being able to identify tones instantly and correctly makes transcribing music relatively easy. Similarly, instead of having to use the "trial-and-error" method of manually finding unknown notes on his or her instrument, a musician with perfect pitch already knows what the notes are, can truly play by ear, and is free to focus entirely on playing music instead of struggling just to hear it. This is especially useful when playing with other musicians as, for example, jazz improvisation depends on the ability to anticipate what tones are about to be produced.
By the same token, if you have absolute pitch, you can hear notes in your mind as you read them on the sheet, which is particularly helpful to singers. Also, singers with perfect pitch have the ability to reproduce pitches accurately without a reference pitch, which allows them to handle unaccompanied passages as well as uncommon or "out" notes.
The benefits of absolute pitch are made even clearer by the knowledge of some of the musicians who have possessed it. Bach, Beethoven, Chopin and Mozart are all thought to have had the ability, as well as modern musicians such as Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix, Yo-Yo Ma, Frank Sinatra, and Stevie Wonder.
Absolute pitch may not be a guarantee of musical talent, but it certainly takes care of a lot of the legwork involved, the tasks associated with listening and allowing musicians to focus on making music. For those who have it, it's essential.

Les Enfants Magnifique: A Look At Some Of The Most Influential Young Artists Of Recent Times
Child proteges are nothing new: from Milton, to Mozart, to Michael Jackson, the artistic achievement of those so young has always brought great delight, and often great discomfort, to the establishment. However, let's stop before we get into comparing the achievements of the infant Mozart with the infant Jackson, or with say Shirley Temple for that matter - this is not a top ten 'kid geniuses' rundown. Instead, let us focus on their impact on the world of adults and, especially, let's look at the ways in which young writers and musicians are affecting popular culture today.
In the last century pop music began to establish itself as one of the most pressing influences on youth culture. Really coming to fruition in the 1950s and 60s, the cycle of young writers and musicians playing and recording for predominantly young audiences can be tracked back to huge surge in independent recording studios in America. The emergence of rock and roll and the proficiency of country and western studios like Sun Records are tied into this era as are the principally coloured musical genres from the recording houses of both Motown and Stax Records. From out of this cultural liberation came the rise of some stunning young talent. And amongst this new breed was a young singer and musician from Michigan called Little Stevie Wonder.
A phenomenal multi-instrumentalist with a voice that bellied his young age, Steveland Morris May was writing and performing songs aged 10 and, just two years later, was signed to record his first album Little Stevie Wonder the 12-Year-Old Genius. Within another two years Wonder had dropped "Little" from his moniker and seamlessly made the transition into his adult career with huge hits like 'Uptight (Everything's Alright)' and an acclaimed cover of Dylan's 'Blowin' in the Wind'. To this day Stevie Wonder is one of the most admired and respected musicians in the world and has performed on countless recent releases by successful performers such as Mariah Carey and Justin Timberlake.
Of course parallels can be drawn here with the emergence of the folk musician Bob Dylan. Revered more for his lyrical strength than his musical talent, the young Bob Dylan recorded his debut album at 20 and by 21 had written the majority of his first collection of original songs, The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. From here Dylan's appetite for composition knew no bounds and he recorded six albums in the following four years. Not just that, but these albums comprise some of the most acclaimed and influential in the history of popular music. Starting from Freewheelin' in 1963, Dylan recorded The Times They are a-Changin' and Another Side of Bob Dylan in 1964, Bringing it All Back Home and Highway 61 Revisited in 1965, the double album Blonde on Blonde the following year and John Wesley Harding in 1967. Artistically, it could be argued that Dylan has never bettered these works but it remains true that in recent years he has been cited in the Time 100: The Most Important People of the Century and has been nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature. Then, just This Year, Dylan was awarded the Pulitzer Prize Special Citation for his "profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power."
Naturally, the exploration of child proteges is not limited to musicians. The art scene in the 1990s was dominated in Britain by a group of artists known collectively as the "Young British Artists" or the YBAs. The springboard for some of the most respected modern artists in Britain, Tracey Emin, Damien Hirst and Steve McQueen were all formatively exhibited in YBA showcases. Inciting severe criticisms and exuberant praise in almost equal measure, the injection of vitality, spontaneity and irreverence from these young artists shook the establishment with such ferocity that the effects of their work are not merely still visible today, but in fact, have helped shape a new British artistic identity.
Of course these examples are all very famous. Though Stevie Wonder, Bob Dylan and the YBAs have all since entered the public consciousness as venerated artists, we can see that this was not always the case and that once they were bright, if not inexperienced, hopefuls. If we look at the work being conducted by young artists today then we may be glimpsing at the future of the cultural establishment. Let's now go through a brief list of some possible additions to our list:
Firstly is a young songwriter from Nebraska, Conor Oberst. Fronting the rock band Bright Eyes for the last 11 years, Oberst is now 28 years old. However, when he was just 17 he recorded several albums and EPs that brought the attention of the international music press. Recording for the tiny, independent label Saddle Creek, Bright Eyes released five track EP Every Day and Every Night and the full length album Letting off the Happiness. Hailed by Rolling Stone as "Rock's boy genius", the lyrical and emotional intensity of those early recordings are astounding. Flippantly referred to as 'the next Dylan' in the wake of nearly every subsequent release, Oberst's talent is almost incomparable to Dylan's because he uses him so often. Conversationalist in style, Oberst's lyrics are rooted in an artistic space that is so clearly post Dylan's golden age; and, perhaps more interestingly, post Dylan's artistic decline too (if one dare call it that).
The comparison to Dylan, if lazy, is at least one of which Conor seems to be aware. In a song that features on their most recent live album Motion Sickness, Oberst describes his growing fame. He outlines walking into a new bar where the seasoned locals ask him: "Are you really who they say you are?" His inability to answer, his reticence and self-doubt are not Dylan's, in fact they're far more akin to, say, Cobain. His work, and even tone, are therefore allusive; immersed in a culture rich with popular influences. He is not just the sum of these very diverse parts though; a keen ear, staggering lyrical wit and a strong interest in philosophy and theology, he is perhaps more akin to poets like Yeats than any popular touchstone.
The final artist to discuss is the most recent. At only 18, Laura Marling is causing a huge stir in the music business for someone so young. A finalist for the 2008 Mercury Music Prize, Laura's debut album, Alas, I Cannot Swim is full of heartfelt and carefully crafted acoustic songs. Emotionally complex and endlessly thought-provoking, her songs comprise a hauntingly delicate but dextrous vocal that hangs effortlessly over beautifully simple guitar lines. Caught at this early stage in her career, of course it is impossible to tell her impact on the music industry. However, with a debut effort as strong as Alas, I Cannot Swim it is also impossible to ignore her. Defiant and robust, her talent is certainly something for which to listen out.
It would therefore seem that, though the work of young artists is often bold and immediate, it can also be profoundly important to the establishment. Fresh and exciting, the work of those so young can often be startling in it's clarity and drive. To close, let's return to the great artist quoted in the introduction of this article: Oscar Wilde once exclaimed "Those whom the gods love grow young."
