| | Chuck Loeb Music Inside CD Chuck Loeb Discography of CDs
A splash of variety and all-star panache elevates Chuck Loeb's The Music Inside above the typical play it safe pop-jazz date. Smooth overall but just punchy enough in all the right spots, the disc tends to surprise at the very moment its grooves start sounding too comfortable. After a relaxing take on Babyface's languid "Breathe Again," for instance, Loeb goes the streetsmart bluesy route with the horn drenched "Steffi's Strut." Other cool continental shifts include a breezy Eastern tinge, a crazed Latin attitude with the help of Michel Camilo's trademark ivory bounce, and even tinges of classical influence. The very Sanbornesque ballad "Equal Time" features that notoriously brilliant soundalike, saxman Andy Snitzer, surrounded by the piano harmonics of Sanborn's old cohort Michael Colina. Nelson Rangell, Eddie Daniels and Mitchel Forman round out the celeb input in a setting which shows that while Loeb is stellar on both acoustic and electric strings, his greatest contribution to the genre is his compositional diversity. ~ Jonathan Widran

Purchase Music Inside CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Chuck Loeb Moon, The Stars, And The Setting Sun CD (1998)
Music Inside
$14.19 Many smooth jazz artists view song titles as an afterthought, so it's refreshing to see guitarist Chuck Loeb play a romantic connect-the-dots with the names of the nine originals on The Moon, the Stars and the Setting Sun. Sure, it's a little corny to follow the sweet little tale strung together by ellipses (i.e. "...the stars...above us...shine on...while we speak...of love and the setting sun") but it gives us a glimpse into Loeb's mindset of this sharply ...
| | Chuck Loeb Listen CD (1999)
Music Inside
$14.55 Chuck Loeb knows the secret to finding enduring success in the genre, even amidst growing competition by more and more up and coming guitarists who approximate his style: keep the listener guessing from tune to tune with unique stylistic and production curveballs. He's so effective at this that it's impossible to resist as he commands in the title of his new Shanachie disc: simply Listen. Keeping his crisp electric lines front and center, he darts and moves from the retro-soul clicking, synth strings, and rising horn combination of "Silver ...
| | Jeff Golub Out Of The Blue CD (1999)
Music Inside
$9.29 Jeff Golub is categorized in the smooth jazz genre because he's an instrumentalist; at heart, though, he's an Eric Clapton styled rockin' blues guitar player who, on Out of the Blue, finds himself stumbling happily into Tower of Power-like jam sessions. He pulls no punches from the start, rocking hard and furious with his distorted electric thrust darting around and over Ricky Peterson's brooding B-3 and a three-piece horn section on "Wanna Funk?" Same idea, south of the border style, on the similarly hard-hitting Latin blues hurricane "Manteca," where ...

| | Willis Jackson Call Of The Gators CD (1950)
Music Inside
$9.89 Contains previously unreleased tracks and alternate takes recorded in 1950.
This 14-track entry from Delmark's Apollo series provides a useful roundup of tenor saxophonist Willis Jackson's earliest recordings as a leader. The set of jump blues and stomping R&B instrumentals showcases the young leader's hard-honking, leering style. Still a teenager at the time, Jackson recorded the performances for the New York-based Apollo label in 1949 and 1950, shortly after he came to prominence as a member of trumpeter Cootie Williams' band. While he seems made to measure for the role of "blowin' motherf*cker," Jackson's ballad playing reveals a more sophisticated player with a smoky Ben Webster style. This side of Jackson -- which became more evident later in his career -- comes across most notably on the ballad "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man" and in the unhurried lope of "More Blues at Midnight." The players with Jackson are likeminded practitioners of good-time, bluesy backbeats, including pianist Bill Doggett and drummer Panama Francis. Two tracks feature Jackson with ...
