"Earth" was nominated for a 1998 Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Composition.

For this superior 1997 release, Bob Florence's Limited Edition performs five of the leader's originals plus "Emily," a heated and inventive version of "Straight No Chaser" and Duke Ellington's "Black and Tan Fantasy." Florence has been very consistent with his output since the mid-1980's and this stimulating release (with its many surprises, crowded ensembles and consistent swing) is up to his usual level. Among the key soloists are trumpeters Steve Huffsteter and Carl Saunders, Dick Mitchell and Terry Harrington on tenors and altoist Kim Richmond. ~ Scott Yanow

master composer presents multi-layered big band music, creating extended pieces that provide a larger space for soloists & ensemble alike to explore the terrain; feat. Steve Huffsteter, Dick Mitchell, Trey Henry, Carl Saunders, George Graham, Kim Richmon

Includes liner notes by Michael Stephans.

Earth music CDs
CD $5.95  5 stars Audio Samples
Joe Sample & The Soul Committee: Joe Sample (piano, keyboards); Joel Peskin (tenor saxophone); Oscar Brashear (trumpet); Michael Landau, Arthur Adams (guitar); Freddie Washington (bass); Steve Gadd (drums); Lenny Castro (percussion). When fusion began to take off in the '70s, Joe Sample and company dropped the Jazz from their name and settled in L.A. as The Crusaders, going on to record several richly satisfying jazz-funk albums, before crossing over into pop on the strength of their hit single "Street Life." DID YOU FEEL THAT? features one of his best bands (The Soul Committee) and some of his best writing since the Crusaders' SOUTHERN COMFORT. In Steve Gadd, Sample's teamed with a drummer who can swing as good as he funks, while trumpeter Oscar Brashear and tenor saxophonist Joel Peskin provide sharp, funky melodic contrasts and rhythmic accents. A joyous cover of Lee Morgan's "Sidewinder" puts DID YOU FEEL THAT? squarely in the classic soul-jazz groove, when Joe Sample & The Jazz Crusaders, Cannonball Adderley and Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers attracted popular acclaim with their heady blend of hard bop, R&B, gospel and blues. Heavy groove tunes like "Mystery Child," "Viva De Funk" and "Brother, Can You Spare A Car?" feature Sample's dancing, gospel-inflected work on the Fender/Rhodes electric piano. "While It's Good" and "The Last Buzz" offer the suave Sample at his quiet storm best, but DID YOU FEEL THAT? is essentially a sly nod to the pianist's youth, and is best sampled on a summer's day at a family picnic with grits, ribs, chicken, greens and dirty rice--when wine, whiskey and the blues pour down like rain. There is some serious shaking going on in the studio here, and it appears the veteran Sample has found a great situation to let out his more aggressive edges. What must it be like to be a legend and try to somehow uncover a path you haven't driven on before? How can a cat like Sample top himself? It's always rewarding when a veteran artist twists expectations with a brand new sound, even if reaching into his past for the germ of the idea. Sample darts at the listener with a whole new, nonstop brass funk approach, allowing his all-star Soul Committee to lay down the grooves beneath his still plucky ivory spirit. Though Did You Feel That? cooks from start to finish, employing inventive rhythmic touches, simmering cool, and a flashy retro production style, it's sometimes too easy to compare the wild horn tandem of Oscar Brashear and Joel Peskin with old Sample cohorts ...

This Limited version of BELIEVE is packaged in a leather-bound book, accompanied by a companion bonus DVD disc. Taking the essence of classic metal and making it contemporary is a feat that Disturbed has accomplished with staggering results. While the band's debut only toyed with melodicism (much of THE SICKNESS was derivative of the growing stable of rap metal bands), BELIEVE is Disturbed's musical arrival. Razor-sharp syncopated riffing is melded with rock radio-friendly melodic vocals, making a jaw-dropping first impression with album-opener "Prayer." The track has the requisite elements to make it an instant metal classic. Disturbed's influences peek through their music, but not in a negative sense; it's clear that Pantera, Metallica and Queensryche were among ...
