Gauche

A People's History of Gauche

Pop/Rock

The activist band from Washington, D.C., delivers potent new wave-inspired dance tunes along with satisfying food for thought.

- Mark Deming

The list of those who could make out jazz funky is a short one. Drummer Reid must now be added to that list. This music is as beautiful and dangerous as a shower of broken glass -- just when you think you've got a song figured out, this clever group of largely unsung musicians heightens the tension and takes things careening off in an unexpected direction.

- Rob Ferrier

Marvin Gaye

A Tribute to the Great Nat King Cole

November 1, 1965

Vocal Pop

Released less than nine months after his idol's death in early 1965, Gaye's affectionate tribute to Cole highlights his skill at more elegant romantic fare. The follow-up to How Sweet It Is to Be Loved by You, it was recorded partly in Detroit with the Funk Brothers and partly with sessions musicians in Los Angeles.
