Big Sir

Editorial Reviews
About the Artist
Sneaking into your pants like molasses with an attitude, Big Sir is a soulful, solid groove smorgasbord complimented with toy box nuance and subtle sonic humor. Seamlessly flowing from girl-group influenced harmonies and handclaps, to smokin' a fatty on a warm sunny day while cruising in a Cadillac toe tappers, Big Sir will win both you and your mother over.

Big Sir sauntered into the neighborhood when singer Lisa Papineau and bass player John Alderete discovered they both shared a taste for the mellow side of rock and roll while playing together in a band called Pet, who were on Tori Amos' label, Igloo Records.

When Pet split up, they began writing slo-fi hip movers that not only stood on their own, but were easily adaptable to the dance moves they had picked up after years of touring and playing in Los Angeles clubs. Immediately after they began performing live, they found that they were being stalked by drummers, who would salivate as they stood in the audience bobbing their head in time to the drum machine.

It wasn't long before Lisa and John found the perfect drummer in Troy Zeigler, a talented beat keeper who understood exactly what Big Sir was trying to convey musically and whose mix of electronic and organic drumming style added just the right tasty flavor to the tunes.

Their self-titled debut CD is available now on Mootron Records (brainchild of Lisa's former Sissy Bar band-mate, Courtney Holt). Look out for special mix lean by Micky Petralia, whose recent credits include co-production of the Beck "Midnite Vultures" album.

Other highlights include viola work by Heather Lockie of Leather Hyman, backing vocals by the fellows of The Green and Yellow TV, and a guest appearance track featuring guitar fancy pants Josh Hagen of The Elevator Drops.

5 out of 5 stars Best version of King and I.......2004-07-26

This 1977 version really tells you what this show is made of!!! Yul Brynner is in prime form with A Puzzlement (finally being recorded with the full score), and Constance Towers makes a fine Anna Lenowans. The added dialouge tracks add a special personality to the CD, and help the listener who may have never seen the show to understand it. The 1956 soundtrack (remastered) is okay compared to this, and the 1951 Decca Broadway album is deplorable compared to this. Only version you will ever need. Highly Reccomended!!!!!!!!!

5 out of 5 stars CD by which all other KING AND I discs are measured.......2004-02-17

By the time RCA recorded this album of the 1977 revival of THE KING AND I the show had been playing on Broadway for six months and the cast had settled happily into their roles. The result is a vividly theatrical recordng that, except for the "Small House of Uncle Thomas" ballet, contains the entire musical score.

I would like to correct reviewer Arne Anderson: Brynner was not dying from cancer when this production played. He returned to Broadway with the show again in 1985 just six months before his death and by that time, yes, he voice was showing noticable deterioration. But when this production played the Uris theatre in 1977 and 78 he was in fine voice. True, it is not the youthful voice heard on the original 1951 cast album but with the years come many more layers to the performance.

It also helps that several dialogue moments such as the King's soliloquy "So Big a World" are included on this record. The dialogue also plays an important part in the way Thomas Z. Shepard has laid out the record. For example, the famous "Shall We Dance" sequence. On this recording, the whole scene is prsented and suddenly what on other KING AND I cd's is just another great R & H song, is a dramatic highlight. Also, the Cd closes with a recording of the entire final scene. It is incredibly moving.

Constance Towers sounds properly mature as Mrs Anna, and all the secondary roles have been thoghtfully cast by wonderful singer/actors. Bear in mind, Richard Rodgers was still alive when this production and recording were made and was at the recording sessions. In fact, it would be the final cast recording of one of his shows he would supervise. This guarantees it is an authenic recording.

The package includes good background notes and a fully detailed synopsis of the show.

This album was recorded Monday October 31, 1977. On Tuesday November 1, 1977 I attended the performance at the Uris theatre. It was my first Broadway show. So, for me, this album holds extra special memories.

4 out of 5 stars good revival recording; Constance Towers is lovely.......2003-10-12

This cast album to the acclaimed 1977 Broadway revival of THE KING AND I is a must-own for all fans of the beloved Rodgers and Hammerstein musical. Yul Brynner again heads the cast as the imperious King, with Constance Towers as Mrs Anna and June Angela as Tuptim.

Yul Brynner asked his good friend Yuriko (the original Eliza in the "Uncle Tom's Cabin" ballet in the 1951 Broadway production and later the film version) to direct this production and also recreate Jerome Robbins' choreography for the ballet. Yuriko perfectly reproduced all this and more with this sumptuous revival, which embarked on an extensive touring season following it's Broadway engagement, before coming back to New York in 1985, the year that Brynner succumbed to cancer.

Constance Towers is quite lovely in the role of Mrs Anna, offering up glowing renditions of "I Whistle a Happy Tune", "Getting to Know You", "Hello Young Lovers" and "Shall I Tell You What I Think of You?".

June Angela, apparently the youngest actress to play Tuptim in a major revival, lets her gorgeous soprano loose with her breathtaking "My Lord and Master" as well as her duets with the Lun Tha of Martin Vidnovic (OKLAHOMA!) in "I Have Dreamed" and "We Kiss in a Shadow".

Hye-Young Choi is a lovely Lady Thiang, singing a heartbreaking "Something Wonderful". The rest of the cast is superb.

All-in-all, an essential cast album of THE KING AND I, and one you will really adore.

5 out of 5 stars Required listening!.......2000-06-16

The 2 love duets between Martin Vidnovic and June Angela are worth the price of admission in themselves, plus you get the complete score including "I Have Dreamed", which for some unbelievable reason was cut from the film.

4 out of 5 stars A MUST FOR ALL 'KING AND I' FANS.......2000-02-10

BRILLIANT! A MUST for all 'King and I' fans. It has ALMOST ALL the 'King and I' songs, except for 'The Royal Dancing Wives' Dance' and 'Uncle Tom's Cabin - The Ballet'. However, the voices are more 'opera-based', especially June Angela and Constance Towers, but what does that better? The singers are simply SUPBERB. Constance Towers portrays a SPLENDID Anna, even though Marni Nixon has a sweeter, smoother voice. June Angela sings 'My Lord and Master' and the other songs BEAUTIFULLY, I don't know how she reached all those high notes, but then again, Rita Moreno is 'smoother'. Yul Brynner is wonderful as usual, Martin Vidvonic(Lun Tha) sings MUCH better than Carlos Riva's singing voice in the 1956 movie, and as for Hye-Young Choir, I think she beats Terry Saunders. Her best song is 'Western People Funny'. And Gene Profanto and Alan Amick who play Prince Chulalonkorn and Louis are BRILLIANT too, and they sing 'A Puzzlement(reprise)' REALLY well. However, Constance Tower's 'Shall I Tell You What I Think of You' is not that good, and Marni Nixon is alot better anyway, because Towers sounds like an old woman at times. Anyway, overall, this IS a MUST!

      4 out of 5 stars Ultimately flawed, but fascinating..........2001-12-12

      This is a tough one to rate. Four stars feels possibly overly generous, yet there are some treasures here, including the superb and not-heard-often-enough Contrasts by Bela Bartok, a chamber masterwork that Goodman commissioned. (Few people realize just how many modern classics Goodman inaugurated. Among his many other achievements, he enriched the world of 20th century chamber music, something for which he is not given credit.) The works here are fascinating--and this Debussy Clarinet Rhapsody may be one of the best performances the work has ever received. Yet when listening to these recordings, which range in sound quality from fair for the time to less than great for the time, one can't escape the conclusion that BG, the "King of Swing," the top pop musician of the 1930s, never really felt at home in classical music, never really performed it with confidence. The man who could play passages of fiery virtuosity with his jazz croanies and make the impossible sound easy was himself ill-at-ease when surrounded by the likes of Joseph Szigeti, Bela Bartok or the Budapest String Quartet. The man who made more in a year than the president of the United States trembled when on stage with orchestra musicians who are now footnotes to history. And in a way it's hard to blame him: at the time jazz and popular music were at pains to demonstrate to the "serious" music world that they were not, well, garbage. Although Goodman had just triumphed in Carnegie Hall shortly before the earliest of these recordings was made, and although swing and jazz were starting to get *some* respectable press, most musicians in the classical field still thought jazz low and the practitioners crude and unskilled. Bartok even resented writing his work for Goodman, and did it for the commission alone. (Benny payed him $3,000, money he desperately needed.) Classical musicians called Goodman the "Jazznik," and when he studied classical technique with some of them they just took his money, figuring he was wasting his time. Only later did he enjoy a very productive study period with a sympathetic British clarinetist, Reginald Kell.

      As a result of all this, all the performances here, except maybe the Barbirolli, tend to have a certain tenseness and uncertainty to them. ("Glorious John" was good at calming musicians down because he was so unpretentious, and that may explain the success of his recording.) Goodman could always play the notes, and the lack of technical slips considering this was unfamiliar repertoire and before tape could be spliced is impressive. But Goodman never seems to know what to make of the music. He has little conception of it, and his tone,so warm and flowing in swing and dance music, is here uncertain, sometimes almost shrill, always a little wavery. As someone once commented in the Brahms with Nadia Reisenberg, he sounds more like a student in a recital than a finished clarinetist.

      The Mozart is among the shakiest, though he was better in the simpler Quintet than he was in the darker and more troubled Concerto. Still, he leads the music nowhere. The Brahms is similarly uncertain, though Reisenberg is superb and the real reason to listen to this performance. As mentioned, the Barbirolli Debussy Rhapsody comes off best, and Goodman's technique and fire are up to the challenge of the Bartok, even though upon first seeing the music he was said to have remarked "I'm gonna need three hands to play this thing!" The other works are fine but not extraordinary, and act more as encores on the disc. In none of them does Goodman have a voice of distinction, a personality that would make his classical as recognizable as when he played just one bar of swing.

      Benny never did get over his awe of classical music. It might have helped him if he had. He once commented about the horrid hollywood biograhpical movie of his life, "The Benny Goodman Story," that he wished they would have emphasized jazz fans coming to classical through his recordings rather than vice-versa. It seemed there was always a little voice in the back of Goodman's mind telling him he really should have been a classical clarinetist first and a dance and jazz musician second. A close friend of his near the end, James T. Maher, said one day he was about to knock on the door of Benny's Manhattan apartment when he heard Goodman practicing within. He was playing one of Brahms' autumnal clarinet sonatas, alone. Maher said he didn't want to interrupt, so he stayed outside, his ear pressed to the door. And he said that day Benny played Brahms like you never heard it on stage or on record. It was, he said, as if Brahms had come by to chat. It's too bad there wasn't some way to get that sound down on tape without Goodman's knowing it. As it is, these recordings are fine and are definitely worth a listen. Perhaps I've even been a little too harsh on some of them. It's just a shame that a first-class jazz soloist was never quite a first-class classical soloist. But he could have been. The technical equipment was there.

        4 out of 5 stars The Man Who Wrote the 20s.......2001-06-09

        This is a superb CD if you like 20s Jazz. Donaldson wrote some of the most famous songs popularised by Bix Beiderbecke, Paul Whiteman, Eddie Cantor, Bing Crosby, etc. This CD compiles some of his best, and is a real treasure. Songs by obscure 20s artists are on this CD, and they would be difficult to collect individually, and if you did find them odds are that your Edison Cylinder machine would be on the fritz.

        In addition, the wide variety of sings [from fast swinging tunes to slow romantic ballads] make this a CD you can listen to for long stretches of time without monotony setting in.

          5 out of 5 stars Very good, very unexpected........2005-10-17

          The CD has a unexpected direction of trip-hop,ambient music layered together nicely with Lisa Papineau's heavenly voice. These are apparently all remixes although some songs weren't on Big Sir's original album. Their cover of Hall and Oates' "Sarah Smile" is top notch and i can't get enough of it.

          4 out of 5 stars good, but..........2002-12-11

          i, too, found out about big sir because i was such a big fan of pet. the self-titled CD is hard to find (try half dot com). big sir is excellent and both of their CDs have their standout tracks (especially the cover songs on this album!). i like the instrumentation on the big sir albums, but prefer lisa's vocals back when she was screaming in pet.

          4 out of 5 stars I love it.......2001-12-17

          I originally got into Big Sir because of Pet, a band featuring two of the members that now comprise this group. Of those two members, one is the vocalist, Lisa Papineau, who is close to the most compelling lyricist and singer I've ever come across. Although Pet was more along the lines of metal-alternative-whatever, the LA-based Big Sir has a lot of trip hop to their songs, which is currently my favorite genre of music abreast trance techno.

          This is an intelligent remix album featuring a variety of charismatic interpretations. For example, "Fuzak" has a harder hip hop element fused into the chorus that works (completely). My makeshift favorite is "g7" but this release definitely possesses the strength required for repeated start-to-finish playings. If you are into variety, pick this up.
