Over The Rainbow
By Alpert, Herb
On his latest album, OVER THE RAINBOW, Herb Alpert began the same way he has done for all of his albums over the years: searching for great melodies. That search has resulted in the prolific trumpeter's latest offering, a collection of 11 classics and 1 brand new, original track. That original song, "Skinny Dip", opens the album with a quirky, fun vibe before things move on to recognizable tunes from the great American songbook, which are included for various reasons close to Herb's heart. He felt the danger in the tightrope walk of recording his own version of the iconic "Over The Rainbow", which was cemented within pop culture by Judy Garland's performance and many other fantastic recordings. And whether it's a tribute to Gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt on "All Love", Bill Withers on "Ain't No Sunshine", or the great Louis Armstrong on "What A Wonderful World", there is always a deeper connection and meaning for Herb on every cover selected for this album, making it one of the most personal projects he has ever worked on.

JAY-Z
By Dyson, Michael Eric
NOW A NEW YORK TIMES, USA TODAY, AND PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY BESTSELLER"Dyson writes with the affection of a fan but the rigor of an academic. ... Using extensive passages from Jay-Z's lyrics, 'Made in America' examines the rapper's role as a poet, an aesthete, an advocate for racial justice and a business, man, but devotes much of its energy to Hova the Hustler." -- Allison Stewart, The Washington Post"Dyson's incisive analysis of JAY-Z's brilliance not only offers a brief history of hip-hop's critical place in American culture, but also hints at how we can best move forward." -- QuestloveJAY-Z: Made in America is the fruit of Michael Eric Dyson's decade of teaching the work of one of the greatest poets this nation has produced, as gifted a wordsmith as Walt Whitman, Robert Frost and Rita Dove. But as a rapper, he's sometimes not given the credit he deserves for just how great an artist he's been for so long. This book wrestles with the biggest themes of JAY-Z's career, including hustling, and it recognizes the way that he's always weaved politics into his music, making important statements about race, criminal justice, black wealth and social injustice. As he enters his fifties, and to mark his thirty years as a recording artist, this is the perfect time to take a look at JAY-Z's career and his role in making this nation what it is today. In many ways, this is JAY-Z's America as much as it's Pelosi's America, or Trump's America, or Martin Luther King's America. JAY-Z has given this country a language to think with and words to live by.Featuring a Foreword by Pharrell

Weighted mind
By Hull, Sierra
We last heard from Sierra Hull when she was 19 years old. The mandolin virtuoso's transitions between bluegrass and newgrass were authoritative beyond her years. Five years on, her third album, Weighted Mind, showcases her abilities as a singer/songwriter whose depth and inspiration are enhanced by that technical facility. This is not a picker's album per se -- though there is plenty of great playing on it. Hull wrote or co-wrote ten of these eleven tunes. The set was co-produced with Bela Fleck. Partially with his encouragement, Weighted Mind is deliberately sparse. On most tracks, Hull's mandolin and voice are accompanied only by upright bassist Ethan Jodziewicz. His playing -- pizzicato and arco -- offers glorious contrast musically and texturally. This no-net approach finds Hull walking the wire of melodies and lyrics that reflect the album's title. Loss, confusion, regret, sorrow, longing, and determination are all addressed. The intro "Stranded" offers deft flatpicking and pastoral arco bass before Hull's only words, "Dear 22, I'm stranded here... " shatter that reverie. On "Compass, " she states matter of factly: "I'd like to say to you, come follow/But you may find my heart's been hollowed out. " The music is sprightly; chunky chords and sure-footed picking express her restlessness: "My skin is old, I need to shed it/'Cause there's more to me, I have to let it out ... . " That determination is underscored in "Wings of the Dawn, " where bluegrass, blues, and newgrass meet wiry Americana. (Rhiannon Giddens delivers harmony vocals in support. ) The jazzy dissonance in the title track offers perspective to the difficult existential questions its lyric poses. The bumping bassline, adds a groove under it all, though, while Giddens' and Alison Krauss' backing vocals underscore the protagonist's plight. Hull plays an octave mandolin on "Fallen Man, " a dreamy and vulnerable reflection on a relationship. The stark beauty in "Lullaby" is easily the set's simplest, and perhaps its most poetic, track: "Mother will you sing to me/Something soft and sweet/I'm too old for a lullaby/But I'll never be too old to cry ... . " Fleck adds his banjo to a reworking of the traditional "Queen of Hearts/Royal Tea" -- which weaves together newgrass, mountain folk, and Celtic-tinged jazz -- and Hull plays a killer solo break. "Black River" brings the album full circle with an acoustic country song. Giddens, Krauss, and Abigail Washburn provide harmony vocals as Hull restates that opening phrase from "Compass" as an affirmation -- she embraces her lostness -- and offers an invitation to another to share it on her terms. Those who know Hull's work as a superpicker would do well to investigate this dimension of her persona as well. For the rest of us, Weighted Mind is a poignant, bracing work by an adept singer and songwriter. She openly invites us into her world with real vulnerability and honesty, and reveals her inner strength in doing so.
