Review title: Zzah - Smooth West Coast Jazz Product review: At times soothing 'Wanderin Cloud', at times toe tapping 'T. Louie', but at all times smooth. Zzah's first CD includes previously released cuts from 'Happiness' by Higher Feelings, the previous incarnation of this west coast group. Outstanding musicianship especially from talented keyboardist Richard Garoogian. A great broad brushstroke of the contemporary jazz scene sound.

Review title: A Million Little Lies Product review: From critics to Oprah, James Frey has pulled the wool over everyone's eyes. Everyone except the journalists at The Smoking Gun. In a recent publication they've shown that Frey misrepresented himself and his past, essentially making most of his "horrible" life up. Read about it here. Read the story at The Smoking Gun dot com.

Review title: As If He Stayed Too Long At The Fair.... Product review: Like Mohamed Ali boxing Larry Holmes, Like an over-weight Babe Ruth playing out his twilight years or F. Scott Fitzgerald vainly attempting to recapture the magic of his early triumphs, Brian Wilson has stayed too long at the fair. Why revisit the past glory of such marvelous works like Caroline No, Warmth of the Sun or Til I Die? It's not as though these new interpitations offer any insight or new meaning to these wonderful old songs. Unfortunately, they're downright dreadful and so is Brian's voice. I wish I had kinder words for this awful, awful album. But, as bad as "I Just Wasn't made For These Times" is, at least Brian isn't touring the country with cousin Mike and company on the "oldies circuit", signing Surfin' Safari and 409.
