The Last Full Measure $7.99 In the Pulitzer prize-winning classic The Killer Angels , Michael Shaara created the finest Civil War novel of our time, an enduring bestseller that has sold more than two million copies. In the bestselling Gods and Generals , Shaara’s son, Jeff, brilliantly sustained his father’s vision, telling the epic story of the events culminating in the Battle of Gettysburg. Now, Jeff Shaara brings this legendary father-son trilogy to its stunning conclusion in a novel that brings to life the final two years of the Civil War. As The Last Full Measure opens, Gettysburg is past and the war advances to its third brutal year. On the Union side, the gulf between the politicians in Washington and the generals in the field yawns ever wider. Never has the cumbersome Union Army so desperately needed a decisive, hard-nosed leader. It is at this critical moment that Lincoln places Ulysses S. Grant in command–and turns the tide of war. For Robert E. Lee, Gettysburg was an unspeakable disaster–compounded by the shattering loss of the fiery Stonewall Jackson two months before. Lee knows better than anyone that the South cannot survive a war of attrition. But with the total devotion of his generals–Longstreet, Hill, Stuart–and his unswerving faith in God, Lee is determined to fight to the bitter end. Here too is Joshua Chamberlain, the college professor who emerged as the Union hero of Gettysburg–and who will rise to become one of the greatest figures of the Civil War. Battle by staggering battle, Shaara dramatizes the escalating confrontation between Lee and Grant–complicated, heroic, deeply troubled men. From the costly Battle of the Wilderness to the agonizing siege of Petersburg to Lee’s epoch-making surrender at Appomattox, Shaara portrays the riveting conclusion of the Civil War through the minds and hearts of the individuals who gave their last full measure. Full of human passion and the spellbinding truth of history, The Last Full Measure is the fitting capstone to a magnificent literary trilogy.

Jeff $5.58 “If the voice don’t say it, the guitar will play it,” raps Saffron on “Pork-U-Pine,” the third track on Jeff Beck’s minimally titled Jeff. And he does. Beck teams with producer Andy Wright, the man responsible for his more complete immersion into electronic backdrops on his last outing, You Had It Coming. This time the transition is complete. Beck used electronica first on Who Else!, moved a little more into the fire on You Had It Coming, and here merges his full-on Beck-Ola guitar heaviness with the sounds of contemporary spazz-out big beats and noise. Beck and Wright employ Apollo 440 on “Grease Monkey” and “Hot Rod Honeymoon,” and use a number of vocalists, including the wondrously gifted Nancy Sorrell, on a host of tracks, as well as the London Session Orchestra on others (such as “Seasons,” where hip-hop, breakbeats, and old-school Tangerine Dream sequencing meet the guitarist’s deep blues and funk-drenched guitar stylings). As for atmospherics, David Torn (aka producer Splattercell) offers a shape-shifting mix of glitch tracks on “Plan B” for Beck to wax on both acoustically and electrically, and make them weigh a ton. But it’s on cuts like “Trouble Man,” a purely instrumental big drum and guitar skronk workout, where Beck truly shines here. With a rhythm section of Dean Garcia and Steve Barney — and Tony Hymas appears as well — Beck goes completely overboard: the volume screams and the sheer crunch of his riffs and solos split the rhythm tracks in two, then four, and finally eight, as he turns single-string runs into commentaries on everything from heavy metal to East Indian classical music. The industrial crank and burn of “Grease Monkey” is an outing fraught with danger for the guitarist, who has to whirl away inside a maelstrom of deeply funky noise — and Beck rides the top of the wave into dirty drum hell and comes out wailing. For those who feel they need a dose of Beck’s rootsier and bluesier playing, there is one, but the context is mentally unglued. “Hot Rod Honeymoon” is a drum and bass sprint with Beck playing both slide and Texas-style blues à la Albert Collins, letting the strings bite into the beats. The vocals are a bit cheesy, but the entire track is so huge it’s easy to overlook them. “Line Dancing With Monkeys” has a splintered Delta riff at its core, but it mutates, shifts, changes shape, and becomes the kind of spooky blues that cannot be made with conventional instruments. His turnarounds into the myopic rhythms provide a kind of menacing foil to their increasing insistence in the mix. Before gabber-style drum and bass threaten to break out of the box, Beck’s elongated bent-note solos tame them. “JB’s Blues” is the oddest thing here because it’s so ordinary; it feels like it belongs on an updated Blow By Blow. In all this is some of the most emotionally charged and ferocious playing of Beck’s career. Within the context of contemporary beatronica, Beck flourishes. He find a worthy opponent to tame in the machines, and

Blow by Blow $9.99 Blow by Blow typifies Jeff Beck’s wonderfully unpredictable career. Released in 1975, Beck’s fifth effort as a leader and first instrumental album was a marked departure from its more rock-based predecessors. Only composer/keyboardist Max Middleton returned from Beck’s previous lineups. To Beck’s credit, Blow by Blow features a tremendous supporting cast. Middleton’s tasteful use of the Fender Rhodes, clavinet, and analog synthesizers leaves a soulful imprint. Drummer Richard Bailey is in equal measure supportive and propulsive as he deftly combines elements of jazz and funk with contemporary mixed meters. Much of the album’s success is also attributable to the excellent material, which includes Middleton’s two originals and two collaborations with Beck, a clever arrangement of Lennon and McCartney’s “She’s a Woman,” and two originals by Stevie Wonder. George Martin’s ingenious production and string arrangements rival his greatest work. Beck’s versatile soloing and diverse tones are clearly the album’s focus, and he proves to be an adept rhythm player. Blow by Blow is balanced by open-ended jamming and crisp ensemble interaction as it sidesteps the bombast that sank much of the jazz-rock fusion of the period. One of the album’s unique qualities is the sense of fun that permeates the performances. On the opening “You Know What I Mean,” Beck’s stinging, blues-based soloing is full of imaginative shapes and daring leaps. On “Air Blower,” elaborate layers of rhythm, duel lead, and solo guitars find their place in the mix. Propelled by the galvanic rhythm section, Beck slashes his way into “Scatterbrain,” where a dizzying keyboard and guitar line leads to more energetic soloing from Beck and Middleton. In Stevie Wonder’s ballad “Cause We’ve Ended as Lovers,” Beck variously coaxes and unleashes sighs and screams from his guitar in an aching dedication to Roy Buchanan. Middleton’s aptly titled “Freeway Jam” best exemplifies the album’s loose and fun-loving q…

Inspiration $18.98 Inspiration is trombonist/composer/bandleader Phil Ranelin’s first self-led studio date in eight years. His last, A Close Encounter of the Very Best Kind, was solid and wonderfully articulated and arranged, but was criminally under-recognized. Ranelin’s star has been on the rise again in recent years with renewed interest in his recordings on Detroit’s legendary Tribe Records imprint (which he co-founded)–reissued on the Hefty and P-VIne labels. Wide Hive has given Ranelin free rein in creating this tribute to his mentors and peers. Surrounding himself with a solid group of session players including saxophonists Louis Van Taylor, Zane Musa, Keith Fiddmont, and George Harper Jr., as well as stalwart percussionist Taambu, drummerLorca Hart, bassist Jeff Littleton, and pianist Danny Grissett,Ranelin composed all ten tunes on the set. As an arranger, his skill is consummate. He is never overly busy, and whether the music comes out of the modal, hard bop, post-bop, or even soul-jazz traditions, Ranelin remains firmly committed to the blues. Even while moving his music out toward the edges, he never lets the seams show. His arrangements are colorful and full of nuance and elegance, as evidenced by the nine-minute opener, “Freddie’s Groove,” with its beautiful chromatics and shaded Latin rhythms — it swings like mad. Elsewhere, “This One’s for Trane” features a guest performance by Pharoah Sanders. The tune itself uses a modal frame and stays rooted harmonically inside it, while letting Sanders walk out on the ledge a bit. His quoting of “A Love Supreme” in the solo is not only endearing, it is moving. Elsewhere, Tribe co-founder Wendell Harrison guests on “Beyond a Memory,” and the funky “Horace’s Scope” offers Ranelin’s finest solo on the album. But the true measure of Ranelin’s compositional and arrangement skills is found in the three-part suite honoring the late Eric Dolphy, which closes the album. Using harmonic concepts from the late saxophonist’s own…
