In the mid-'90s, Mojazz -- the contemporary jazz imprint of Motown -- was the place to turn for the best examples of the ways funk meets more creative improvisations. Norman Brown is one of the genre's brightest lights -- a George Benson type whose stirring fluidity makes magic with an edge Benson never had. Many of the tracks on After the Storm are formulaic, mid-tempo gems, but Brown adds zest to even the most typical groove with a lightning fast style that jumps off the disc. The Janet Jackson and Luther Vandross covers are fine, but better are more unique originals like "Trashman," "Take Me There," and others that use acoustic guitar and trumpet. As solid as this stuff gets. ~ Jonathan Widran

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No NOTHING COMES CLOSE
This disc is not only Norman Brown's best work to date(in my opinion), but one of the absolute best smooth jazz guitar albums ever. Every track is a gem and Brown's smooth, soulful cover tunes really
shows what he can do.

This CD depicts one of his finest moment in the acoustic world. Its simply a listening pleasure, never a dull moment from start to finish. Good work Norman!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Brown's Best!
Norman Brown has a great body of work, I own all of his CD's. This is his best CD start to finish and the best contemporary jazz cd I bought the entire year in 1994. Makes my top 100 of my CD collection.

After The Storm
 $9.15  
Attitude, the second album from the California quintet Troop, featured four charting singles. The first release, "I'm Not Soupped," is the least credible of the four. With the title's rather doltish connotation, the dance number still managed to peak at number 19 after ...

| | Sergio Salvatore Point Of Presence CD (1997)
After The Storm
$12.59
Sergio Salvatore has the odd fortune of resembling child actor Fred Savage from TV's "The Wonder Years, " and that could have plagued the public's openmindedness towards taking him seriously as a major jazz talent, rather than just a cute novelty. Fortunately, deep talent has won out and the prodigy, now a teenager, has bloomed into a multi-faceted composer/performer. A true product of the 90's, he not only named his shift towards contemporary pop/funk oriented jazz after an internet term (Point of Presence being the point from which one leaps onto the world wide web), but he's sharp enough to figure out that he's bound to gain a larger audience by stretching beyond his straight ahead beginnings.

After The Storm
$25.83 
Released on Avant, run by Yamatsuka Eye's Naked City bandmate John Zorn, and recorded by him with help from Martin Bisi, Wow 2 surfaced around the same time that Pop Tatari made its initial Japanese bow on Warner Bros. Saying the first album is more experimental and uncommercial than the second is pushing it -- it's not like the Boredoms were going to release catchy pop ditties all of a sudden. Rather, Wow 2 is just another wiggy slice of what makes the Boredoms' sound such a great, unpredictable ...
