TOPKAPI contains Jimmy McGriff's interpretations of popular television themes of the early sixties.
Topkapi finds Jimmy McGriff on pre-recorded tracks with a horn section, guitar, bass, drums and a string section. The material was arranged and directed by Fred Norman. The album consists of 12 movie and TV themes with McGriff and "orchestra." The orchestra sounds like Muzak, but McGriff sounds like McGriff. How the two got together is anyone's guess. ~ Michael Erlewine

Topkapi CD music
$10.59   
Master jazz pianist Oscar Peterson had his longest-running trio with bassist Ray Brown and drummer Ed Thigpen, and NIGHT TRAIN may be their finest moment. The repertoire here is comprised mostly of standards, although the choices seem deliberate. In treatments of jazz chestnuts like "C-Jam Blues" and "Georgia On My Mind," the trio works inside these well-known songs, painting over familiar colors and re-working traditional ...

Topkapi songs
$9.19
Jimmy McGriff's B-3 sound was always rooted in blues and gospel, and his soloing could be very smooth and polished. But every once in a while, he had to break out of his own soul box and tear it up on a session. The Worm, issued on Solid State Records in 1968, is the very first place he did. This is the first true, all-out funky burner from McGriff, and it sounds very different from most of the other titles on his shelf. Having a band like this helps: trumpeter Blue Mitchell, tenor saxophonist Fats Theus (with Bob Ashton on baritone and Danny Turner on alto), alternating drummers Mel Lewis and Grady Tate, bassist Bob Bushnell, and guitarist Thornel Schwartz were all in their prime in 1968. The title track, written by McGriff, Theus, and producer Sonny Lester, sets the tone for the whole platter. The saxophone section lays in the cut and is prodded on in a driving, funked-up, hard soul groove by the expanded rhythm section (a B-3 album with a bassist wasn't unheard of, but it wasn't standard procedure either). Solos by both McGriff and Mitchell are choppy and punchy in the extreme. The trumpeter is amazing here, offering a small taste of the sound he displayed on 1969's Collision in Black. But check out the next two tunes, both McGriff originals that push the LP into the red zone and keep it there. "Keep Loose" takes the organist head-to-head against Schwartz's electric six-string, ...
| | Houston Person Mellow CD (2009)
Topkapi album
$13.59
Not all mellow, Houston Person's tribute to the softer side of jazz has its moments based on the laid-back timbre of his soul rather than a program consisting of only ballads. The tenor sax he wields certainly reflects the tradition established by Ben Webster in its soul-drenched tone, but is not as vocally pronounced or vibrato driven. The quite capable pianist John DiMartino is the one whose more enunciated notions are harnessed, while tasteful guitar by the underrated James Chirillo ring out in acceptance of Person's embraceable hues. A program of standards and two blues jams, Person rounds into shape this quintet of true professional to render themes that are harder to play slow than fast. The slower material includes the regretful, throaty ballad "Too Late Now," the totally restrained "To Each His Own," a poignant "Two Different Worlds," and the deep, mature take of "God Bless The Child". Ever cognizant of blue moods, Person is masterful in expressing his innermost, heartfelt feelings as on the easy swinger and obvious choice for this date, Duke Ellington's "In A Mellow Tone". Then there's ...

the Michael David project®The Michael David project is putting a new spin to modern rock. The band combines talents of musicians from various musical backgrounds, to create a musical project that stands well outside the crowd of disposable one-hit wonders. At the forefront of the Michael David project's music is strong song writing, a key element that has earned them a rapidly growing fan base. Each song tells a story. Sometimes dark and often angry, they are bound by a strange optimism that rises thru adversity. The heart of the project is its' namesake, Michael David. The singer/songwriter/guitarist has been writing songs for over 20 years. Born in South Carolina and raised in Canada, Michael David was surrounded by a family of musicians, it was only natural the he would follow this path. When the company employing Michael David closed down, it gave him the opportunity to focus on his music. His travels took him to Mexico, where after many well-received performances he decided to pursue a career in music. He returned to Detroit armed with a cache of songs and a vision of more than just a band, but a musical collaboration. In Detroit he opened the live music nightclub, Goodtime Charlie's. It was here where he discovered the musicians who would form the Michael David project.Jazz fusion drummer and Detroit music veteran Charles Stuart was the first to join. Bassist Sean Bondareff, who played in everything from blues bands to classical quartets, soon followed him. The next addition was the multi-talented Brian Lord, who also lent his engineering expertise in the studio. Vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Julia Ingalls complete ...
