Ed Ames - It's a Man's World - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Jewish exiles left Central Europe before and after World War I. They took their elaborate musical traditions to the United States and recorded dazzling evidence of their very expressive, Gypsy-tinged party dance music, which thrived on rhythm and where improvisation preceded that of jazz. Bruno Blum comments on these genuine rare, precious, influential and founding recordings of modern Klezmer, a genre overlooked since the 1940s and revived in the Twenty-First Century as it merges with current jazz. Often instrumental, Klezmer music featured virtuosos such as clarinetists Naftule Brandwein and Dave Tarras. Essential, compelling, one-of-a-kind documents - all remarkably well-recorded for the time.

One of the most distinctive voices in pop music, Cher makes her Reprise debut with an ambitious album that finds her embracing new musical directions with remarkable success. Encompassing everything from soulful, rhythmic pop/rock to classical guitar, It's A Man's World marks the artistic rebirth of a legendary performer. InchOne By OneInch is the album's first single/video; already a club hit, the song will be promoted aggressively at a wide range of radio formats.
