There's a terrific reason why the triple-CD Crusaders retrospective The Golden Years included six of Free as the Wind's eight tracks -- the material. Indeed, side one of the LP version may be the strongest single side of original tunes that the band ever put together. It opens with Joe Sample's driving, tense title cut, and flows flawlessly through Stix Hooper's subtly funky "I Felt the Love," Pops Popswell's infectiously finger-popping "The Way We Was" (a high point in the Crusaders' groove collection), and Larry Carlton's steamy vehicle for Wilton Felder, "Nite Crawler." Even the two tracks that the box set left out -- the galvanic "Feel It," driven by Sample's clavinet and Hooper's tom-toms, and "River Rat" -- are as funky as you can stand it. And from out of the blue, Sample concludes the album with a lovely, wistful tune that may have become a standard, "It Happens Everyday." When the material is this good, everything falls into place from there; the grooves are deeper, the soloing by all five Crusaders is more melodic and probing, and while Sample provides a few brass and string arrangements, this is just harmless decoration, neither a necessity nor a hindrance. This would be the Crusaders' high-water mark in the post-Wayne Henderson years, and it can stand tall with anything they've done. ~ Richard S. Ginell

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars A Triumph
This is the first Crusaders' album without founding member Wayne Henderson, and the last featuring the great Larry Carlton. Though there are added strings, horns, and even some voice work ("Feel It"), this is a giant success. I always love the 'wow-wow' sax solo on the title track- awesome. "Free As The Wind" is one of the great moments in music history.

5 stars "AWESOME ALBUM"
"Free As The Wind" in my opinion is one of the best true Jazz albums ever made I mean Wayne Henderson on Free As The Wind and Joe Sample on I Feel The Love is classic. EVERY song on this album is "BANGING" for lack of a better term. I mean this is one the all time greatest albums that I've EVER listened to in ANY CATEGORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unwilling to submit to the rigors of the road, Walt Levinsky never became a well-known jazz name. By the time the clarinetist considered recording an album for Arbors in 1998, he had become too ill to complete the project. Fortunately for his legacy and traditional jazz fans, though, a live tape of a 1996 performance was discovered and issued in 2003. As He Wanted to Be Remembered is an exciting 60-minute set filled with interpretations of classics by Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, and others. Levinsky ...

This installment of The Relaxation Company's Healing Music series combines the work of sound healers and therapists with musical inspiration from new age and world music. While David Darling's "Bach's Persia" is a somewhat conventional new age piece combining vaguely Middle Eastern scents with synthesizers and traditional percussion, Russill Paul's "Om Namah Shivaaya" is a Tantric chant augmented with ethnic flute and its own synth washes. ...

You Can Soar
Jez Graham You Can Soar CD  (2006)

Free As The Wind music CDs
CD $14.79
The collaboration between Jez and Stephen began in July 2005, when Stephen contacted Jez after hearing his version of "Be Still", a Stephen Kalinich/Dennis Wilson song that is on The Beach Boys "1968 "Friends" LP. Jez's version of "BE STILL" is the opening song on Jez's 2004 solo piano CD "Jez Loves You" and also is featured on the CD "TWO STEPS FORWARD" a tribute to Brian and Dennis Wilson which was produced by Jerry Boyd.

Pianist/Singer/Songwriter Jez Graham has been in demand on the Atlanta scene since 1988 when he and his wife headed south to raise a family. You Can Soar is his 7th CD release. Inspired by Stephen's words Jez produced this mix of music and poetry near Atlanta with many of his favorite musicians and people. Stephen's poetry was recorded at Chinatown Studio's in L.A. The Cd was completed in summer 2006 and Jez and Stephen performed at several venues in Atlanta. After the Atlanta events, Stephen went to England where he has continued to perform his poetry and songs. A little about the songs-Start Your Day With Gratitude-An upbeat pop/rocker, features Jez's Daughter Janna on Drums.

Unsung Heroes- Stephen's words bring to light the many Unsung Heroes that walk among us. It's a true story,Alameda Symphony-Part 1 is a rock and roll song that takes place on Alameda Street in Los Angeles. Part 2 is a recitation by Stephen over some keyboard ambience.

Goodness-Gospel Funk. Features Will Bernard, Francine Reed, and a horn arrangment by Jez's son Bill.

Smoke This- This one represents the long form nature of Stephen's poetry merged with Jez's free flowing Pop/Jazz journeys. Features Bobby Robles on Guitar.

You Can Soar- Dreamy, soothing music, uplifting, inspirational lyricsLife Against The Wind- One of Stephen's most pointed and hard hitting lyrics about the plight of refugees and how ...
