Bass Extremes/CD Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I wrote my review (which you kindly posted) from memory but I mis-remembered how many tracks there are on the CD. There are actually 8 songs, an intro to the lessons, then 8 lessons:
1) A Chick From Corea
2) Bangkok Blues
3) Stan The Man
4) Victor's Jam
5) Thumb Start My Harley
6) Exerald Forest
7) Moonridge
8) Donna Lee
9) Introduction and tuning
10) Lesson 1: A Chick From Corea
11) Lesson 2: Bangkok Blues
12) Lesson 3: Stan The Man
13) Lesson 4: Victor's Jam
14) Lesson 5 Thumb Start My Harley
15) Lesson 6 Emerald Forest
16) Lesson 7 Moonridge
17) Lesson 8 Donna Lee
To VERY briefly summarize the material:
A Chick From Corea is about triplets and 'country and western' sound. Victor plays the melody, while Steve plays chords.
Bangkok Blues finds Steve playing etheral false-haromonics over Victor's anchoring funky blues,then Victor plays hammer-ons over Steve's fretless chording.
Stan The Man: Dedicated to Stanley Clarke. Victor plays a tenor bass- ADGC - against Steve's chords, both take solos at the same time. The chord progresson starts gently so you can hear it, then they crank it up.
Victor's Jam: A funk workout from Victor and drummer Greg Bissonette.A range of techniques is used to keep with the drummer
Thumb Start My Harley: With Steve's fretless played through wicked distortion (like Pink Floyd's "One Of These Days") over Victors pumping foundation, which turns into competing, over-the-top triplet solos. Jack Bissonette's emphatic drumming morphs into a VERY complex solo, in correct time. As Steve says in the lesson intro, "If you think you have good time, pat your foot all the way through that at the tempo of the song and you
should come out right. Until you do, keep trying!" Victor will later explain how he does the very funky "open-hammer-pluck".
Emereld Forest: Victor arpegiates chords through sweet reverb while Steve's fretless sings a sitar-ish melody.
Moonridge: Steve's solo, a study for the right hand (6 string fretless) keeping the D string going, with chords and harmonics. If you had thought there were any limitations to electric bass this should put those fears to rest.
Donna Lee: Victor plays the scales using thumb and index finger, using thumb-down, thumb-up, index finger triplets. The scales are sewn together in the familiar tune, while Steve pays the chords that Charlie Parker copped from "Indiana" to support it. DENSE, with some call and response at the end. (Another take on the same classic tune appears as "Madonna Lee"
on the "Cookbook" cd.

Turbo Jam Total Body Blast DVD by Chalene Johnson Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a killer 60 minute workout which blasts calories from head to toe. Using the ball intensifies the work out, targeting your abs, buns and thighs and all problem areas. Using the ball has helped me develop good overall muscle tone for my entire body, and the evidence can be seen in just a week! The workout also targets and trains the Transverse abdominus muscles: The deep abdominal muscles, Tultifidus muscles: The back muscles that support the lumbar spine and the Quadratus lumborum muscles: The muscles of the lower back that maintain spinal and pelvic balance. 6o minutes looks like a long time but because Chalene makes it so much fun the time flies. I've been doing the workout for two weeks now and I've never felt or looked better. You will sweat more than any Turbo jam workout, guaranteed. I definitely recommend the total body blast DVD for anyone looking for a challenging workout that blasts fat. No matter what your fitness level, try it out and see the results.

Space Jam Review

Kidnapped by space aliens, the Looney Tunes gang fears they will be stuck in space forever unless they can beat the aliens at a game of basketball, a situation that looks hopeless unless the Tune Squad can get Michael Jordan on their team. Movie tie-in.
