Photographers: Corey Sipkin; Colin Parker.
Arranger: Milan Simich.Q (11/96, p.119) - 3 Stars - Good - "...Another step in the direction of a credible relationship between jazz and hip-hop....It's neither a hip-hop album with sampled saxophone and trumpet lines, nor another jazz record with dodgy spoken word--and for that everyone should be thankful..."
Muzik (11/96, p.124) - 3 out of 5 - "...It works well...with a hard bop sound replacing Guru's slick soulisms, while CL smooth and Lord Jamar offer some pretty good lyrics..."
Down Beat (1/97, p.58) - 3.5 Stars - (out of 5) - "The scales are tipped in favor of jazz on this hip-bop project as compositions by Jackie McLean, Tadd Dameron, Bud Powell, Nat Adderley and Ahmad Jamal provide fertile soil for three rap lyricists....Recommended for jazz neophytes."

The title of Will Downing's 2009 effort, CLASSIQUE, produced by the artist and Rex Rideout, may be a bit misleading: it is not a compilation but a brand-spanking new collection of contemporary jazz-inflected R&B--in other words, classic Downing. The album's first single, "Something Special"--with its hand drums, loops, and slippery flute flitting around a well-placed, subtle horn section--is at its core a popping midtempo love song. Elsewhere, his cover of Barry White's "I'm Gonna Love ...

Billy Bragg usually strove to strike a balance between populist politics and the affairs of the heart on his best albums (such as Brewing Up with Billy Bragg and Talking with the Taxman About Poetry), but with his 1990 EP, The Internationale, Bragg set aside the notion of balance for the day and recorded seven explicitly political numbers. The material ranges from the openly patriotic (a lovely version of William Blake's "Jerusalem," which Bragg has championed as a candidate for the English national anthem) to the pained and bitter (Eric Bogle's heart-wrenching "My Youngest Son Came Home Today") and the satirically humorous (the anti-capitalist "The Marching Song of the Covert Battalions"), though the latter is the only new-from-the-ground-up song on the EP ("The Internationale" does feature new lyrics from Bragg and "I Dreamed I Saw Phil Ochs Last Night" rewrites Earl Robinson's famous tune about Joe Hill). Bragg is clearly putting his heart and soul into all these songs, but there's a certain stiffness to "The Internationale" and "The Red Flag" that he isn't able to shake off, and "Nicaragua Nicaraguita" is in serious need of a translation, since Bragg's passionate bellow all but swallows up whatever meaning it may have in Spanish. Yep Roc's 2006 reissue of The Internationale adds weight to the package with the addition of the 1988 Live and Dubious EP, which includes six more numbers reflecting Bragg's leftist beliefs, among them a revised version of "Days Like These" (reflecting American political concerns) and covers of "Think Again" and "Chile Your Waters Run Red Through Soweto." The energy of Bragg's live performances communicates well on plastic, though the street-level rabble-rousing ...
