Here is a look at some of the many box sets released over the past year.
Broad enough that this year's releases include collections of music by The Beatles, David Bowie, Joni Mitchell, Madonna, Pink Floyd, Flaming Lips, The Notorious B.I.G., The Beach Boys, jazz piano giant Ahmad Jamal and Peggy Lee, among others.
The set additionally has such standout operas by Adams as"The Death of Klinghoffer" and"Doctor Atomic." And it includes such landmark works as"Harmonielehre""Shaker Loops" and the jazz-inspired"City Noir." The majority of the music documents Adams' half-century as a recording artist for Nonesuch Records, along with five albums he made for Deutsche Grammophon and other labels.
The writing of good songs, never mind great ones, is usually the result of the misfires and duds that preceded them. The creation of"Hunky Dory" came only after a series of bumps and recalibrations. This box set is a vivid reminder that perseverance can be just as essential as talent.
Jamal, 92, retired from performing in 2020, but supervised the compiling of"Emerald City Nights — Live at the Penthouse." Here's hoping more vintage live releases by the pianist will follow.The Kinks,"Muswell Hillbillies / Everybody's in Show-Biz, Everybody's a Star" 50th Anniversary Deluxe Box SetWeighing in at 8 pounds, this voluminous box set chronicles one of England's greatest rock bands of the 1960s as it starts a new chapter in the early 1970s.
While vocal prowess has never been her strong suit, Madonna is undeniably a master of self-promotion and image. And she has no equals when it comes to transforming underground dance music trends often born in Black gay and Latinx nightclubs —"Vogue" is a key example — into mainstream hits for a mass audience.
With the exception of"For the Roses," each features former San Diego drummer John Guerin spearheading a first-rate band of jazz veterans. Together, they helped Mitchell stretch creatively to hone the increasingly sophisticated and intricate music she was creating. Strummer died in 2002 at the age of 50. Released to coincide with what would have been his 70th birthday,"002: The Mescalero Years" includes the first two albums he made with The Mescaleros, his first and only post-Clash band. It also includes 2003's"Streetcore," which was completed posthumously by two of his former Mescaleros alums, along with a fourth album of demos, outtakes and odds and ends.
It can be a lot to take in but is well worth the effort. And in the RedKoral Quartet and such guest artists as Davis on piano, Alison Bjorkedal on harp and Thomas Buckner on vocals, Smith has collaborators who eagerly and expertly help realize his vision.Wilco,"Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" Super Deluxe EditionWilco's landmark fourth album,"Yankee Hotel Foxtrot," was released just one week after the tragic events of 9/11.
