This is one of Grover Washington, Jr.'s best-loved recordings and considered a classic of r&bish jazz. All four songs (which includes Billy Strayhorn's "Passion Flower") are quite enjoyable but it is "Mister Magic" that really caught on as a major hit. Bob James provided the colorful if somewhat commercial arrangements, there are spots for guitarist Eric Gale, and Washington (mostly on tenor and soprano) is heard in particularly creative form. Highly recommended. ~ Scott Yanow

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

5 stars Timeless Masterpiece!
"Mister Magic" by Grover Washington, J.R. is a timeless masterpiece. All four tracks make you feel happy and upbeat even if you were in a bad mood. The first track "passion flower" is a rousing and evolving piece that is just plain funky. The other tracks our quite funky also, including the best known tune "Mr. Magic". "Black Frost" is also a great tune. The cd ends and it is like you need to hit play again the continue the pure magic that you have just heard. If you like classic funk and soul merged together than this is the album to purchase...do it know rather than later!

Principally recorded at Sigma Sound Studios, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1973. Originally released on Philadelphia International (32408). Includes liner notes by Joe McEwen, Bobby Martin. This is a multi-channel Super Audio CD playable only on Super Audio CD players. in 1973. Originally released on Philadelphia International (32408). Includes liner notes by Joe McEwen and Bobby Martin. The once monolithic Motown Sound had begun to fragment in the early '70s, and into the breach came Philadelphia International, the label run by genius producers/songwriters Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff. Their stable of artists basically ruled the radio and the nation's dance floors in the middle of the decade, and the O'Jays were probably ...

Doors Live At The Aquarius Theatre: The First Performance CDs  (2001)

Mister Magic music CDs
CD $26.69  3.8 stars Top 500
From the Doors' own Bright Midnight Records comes this double-disc package featuring the first of two sets performed on July 21, 1969, at the Aquarius Theater in Hollywood. The evening was billed as " Elektra Records Showcase Concert Series Presents..." and, as lead vocalist Jim Morrison announces at the outset, these homecoming performances were done for the express purpose of gathering material for a live album. Indeed, this was only the fifth concert appearance that the Doors had been able to secure in the wake of what is referred to as "the Miami incident." While at times pensive, the band members ultimately rise to the occasion as they wind through a set of hits and fan favorites, as well as a few compositions that would have been previously unheard by this audience. The set begins with little fanfare and the virtual absence of any response from the crowd is nothing short of eerie. The shamanistic wails that normally accompany "Back Door Man" are conspicuously absent. Instead, however, Morrison exhibits a more subdued power, which is equally hypnotic. The loose -- at times ambling -- pace between many of the songs allows ...

Ike & Tina Turner Nutbush City Limits/Feel Good CD  (2006) Bonus Tracks

Mister Magic songs
CD $17.79
Raven's 2006 two-fer Nutbush City Limits/Feel Good combines two of Ike & Tina Turner's last albums together and adds five bonus tracks, three of which were taken from other Ike & Tina albums from the early '70s, one taken from a Tina solo record, and one disco mix of "Nutbush City Limits." The album that arrives first on this two-fer was actually the last of these two to be released: Nutbush City Limits appeared in 1973, a year after Feel Good, but its title track is one of Ike & Tina's best-known songs so it's an appropriate choice to kick off this disc. Besides, the two records are so similar in tone and approach, it'd be easy to assume that Feel Good arrived before Nutbush, but that isn't to say they're interchangeable. Both records are hard day-glo funk, overloaded with fuzz guitars, wah wahs, clavinets and horn sections, but of the two, Nutbush City Limits is a bit closer to gritty deep soul thanks to a slow-burning cover of Dobie Gray's country-soul classic "Drift Away," the gospel-fied "That's My Purpose," a churning, funky reworking of "You Are My Sunshine," and, of course, the hard-driving title track, which mythologizes Tina's country upbringing. Of course, "rootsy" in this context is a relative term, since Nutbush City Limits still feels like '70s funk even with all ...

CD $11.09  Audio Samples
Many of the legends of acoustic guitar in the 20th century have already passed on -- John Fahey, Robbie Basho, Ali Farka Toure. Due partially to his spare recording career, Peter Walker's own reputation has not always been as well known as those of said giants, but his own influence has been considerable. A Raga for Peter Walker -- a tribute album that, in a nice touch, not only consists of work composed by its contributors rather than simply offering up covers but ...

Over the years, Scandinavia has attracted a lot of American jazzmen. Some actually lived there temporarily (including Dexter Gordon and Stan Getz), while others have played or recorded there frequently. It was during a visit to Copenhagen in March 1999 that American bop pianist Roger Kellaway was hired to play on Daddio Don, a trio date led by Danish bassist Mads Vinding.
