The Dim Stars were a short-lived, indie all-star group consisting of Gumball's Don Fleming, Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore, and Steve Shelley, and most importantly, Richard Hell. This was Hell's first album since 1982's Destiny Street. "All My Witches Come True," "Downtown at Dawn," and a cover of T. Rex's "Rip Off" sound like vintage Richard Hell, while "Dim Star Theme" and "Incense is the Essence" resemble prime Sonic Youth noise-guitar workouts.

Rated 4 out of 5 star by AllMusic Guide

For his first tour of Japan in 24 years, pianist George Shearing worked for the initial time with bassist Neil Swainson who soon afterward became a regular member of his duo. This Concord CD features Shearing and Swainson performing a variety of material including Charlie Parker's "Dexterity," "You Must Believe in Spring," a traditional Japanese melody and a couple of ballads. In addition, singer Ernestine Anderson sits in with the group on "As Long As I Live" and a typically soulful "Please Send Me Someone to Love" before the duo concludes the show (recorded at the second annual Fujitsu-Concord Jazz Festival) with a five-song Duke Ellington medley. A well-rounded and consistently enjoyable program.
