Taurus People features John Nugent, a sophisticated post-bop tenor player, in a quartet setting with pianist Bruce Barth, bassist Doug Weiss, and drummer Al Foster. Tenor/soprano icon David Liebman joins on four cuts, including two of the best-known Liebman originals, "Picadilly Lilly" and "Bright Piece." There's a lot of variety here; Nugent sounds equally comfortable on the beautiful Strayhorn ballad "Star-Crossed Lovers," the mid-tempo Monk classic "Monk's Dream," and the Brazilian standard "Beija Flor." However, these readings seem ordinary next to tracks like Dawn Thompson's "12 Tone Poem," not to mention the Liebman pieces. Some of the album's most vibrant music-making occurs on the very first track, Farouq Dawoud's "Taurus People." With Barth laying out, Nugent and Liebman lock horns on tenor, stating the Ornette Coleman-esque line in unison and each taking a solo. The stylistic contrasts are rich and the envelope is truly pushed. The rest of the record doesn't quite reach that level and seems a bit tentative in terms of direction. ~ David R. Adler

Taurus People album
 $6.25    
With BIRTH OF THE COOL, Miles Davis distilled a new tonal palette for jazz. As early as 1954, Miles reacted to the escalating chordal complexity of hard bop by fashioning an evocative blues based on a simple scalar pattern ("Swing Spring"). KIND OF BLUE was the ultimate fulfillment of this approach, with Miles providing his collaborators little more than outlines for melodies and simple scales for improvisation. By emphasizing the blues and the improvisor's melodic gifts, KIND OF BLUE precipitated a major stylistic development--modal jazz.
Charles Mingus had experimented with pedal points throughout the 1950s, and the melodic freedom of Ornette Coleman's Atlantic sides was also predicated on freedom from chord changes. But KIND OF BLUE was to prove the most influential, enduring work of its kind. There was just such a vibe about these 1959 sessions--Miles' lyric genius and burgeoning stardom, the innovative voicings and rarefied touch of pianist Bill Evans, the electrifying presence of Coltrane and Cannonball--that some thirty-plus ...

Taurus People CD music
$6.05 
"Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" was nominated for a 1996 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance.
Over the past decade, since first gaining popularity with the Jeff Lorber Fusion, soprano saxophonist Kenny G has become one of the most celebrated instrumental stars in all of popular music. By fusing elements of contemporary jazz with the most lyrical aspects of pop and R&B, Kenny G has created an enduring sound signature and a fan base that rivals that of any vocalist.
It is precisely these lyric, vocal gifts that make Kenny G's sound so instantly identifiable. And on MIRACLES: THE HOLIDAY ALBUM, the saxophonist has turned his attention towards some of the ...

Taurus People album
$10.05
Michael Buble's third major US release (including the mostly live COME FLY WITH ME) stays on message--this young Canadian loves the lush, swaying music of his parents' and grandparents' generations. Buble's albums, however, are much more than mere back-in-the-day exercises. The production and arranging of David Foster (Celine Dion, Josh Groban) is eclectic in a way that firmly places the tunes at the dawn of the 21st century, and, more importantly, Buble possesses the chops and sense of style to re-imagine the adult-contemporary ...
