Biography by Richie Unterberger.

Harry Nilsson, mild-mannered banker by day before being propped up by John Lennon and Paul McCartney as the fabbest songwriter they knew, was one of those guys you read about being able to sing out of the phonebook and make it work. He had a bizarre, almost s-own-good talent that combined sarcasm, dry wit, pure songwriting chops, and a personal buoyancy that usually offset even his most self-defeating, throwaway lines. As if retreating further into an inside joke (that Nilsson probably only ever told to himself in the first place), the singer released an album of standards and showtunes, A Little Touch of Schmilsson in the Night. Fans shouldn't have been surprised at his ease pulling off this kind of music, as he'd always been something of a cabaret pop performer, only now subbing out a clarinet-ridden McCartney influence for Irving Berlin.

Harry Nilsson always wanted RCA to make a box set of all his albums. It came too late for him to see, but it's still a treat, writes Alexis Petridis. If there's an image of Nilsson fixed in the public imagination, it's the one on the front of his biggest-selling album, 1971's Nilsson Schmilsson: a blurry shot of him looking like bad news in a bathrobe, disheveled and staring blankly into space. You can virtually smell the hangover. On cover of 1967's Pandemonium Shadow Show, the first CD in this exhaustive 17-disc box set, he seems fresh-faced – he was still working in a bank when it was recorded. The tunes are beguiling, the lyrics witty and smart: so much so that you can miss how bleak his songs were

After a Best New Artist Grammy and the well-received Radio Music Society, bassist-composer Esperanza Spalding could have certainly carved out a perfectly mellow career as America's virtuosic ambassador between contemporary jazz, neo-soul and pop music. Instead, on her first album in four years, she bravely and brilliantly machetes through thornier paths, including math-metal shredding ("Good Lava"), Laurie Anderson-style vocalizing ("Rest In Pleasure," "Ebony and Ivy") and brain-boggling progressive-rock majesty ("Elevate and Operate").
