On his debut effort Evidence, Cody Moffett is supported by his brother Charnett Moffett, Ravi Coltrane, Kenny Drew, Jr., and brothers Antoine and Wallace Roney for run-throughs of mostly standards. While each of these players is accomplished, their abilities are, at times, covered up by Cody Moffett's over-drumming. Because of this, he sounds like he was trying too hard to prove his status among the elite of jazz drummers. There's no doubt Moffett is fine behind the trap set, but Evidence leaves the listener wishing he had focused more on the material and less on showing off his chops. All of that said, there are some nice performances on the album where Moffett plays with the band instead of over them, as in the nice reading of John Coltrane's "Equinox" and the lovely ballad "Beautiful Love"." ~ Gregory McIntosh
Recorded at Clinton Recording Studios, New York, from March 24-25, 1993.
Personnel: Cody Moffet (drums), Kenny Garrett (alto saxophone), Ravi Coltrane, Antoine Roney (tenor saxophones), Wallace Roney (trumpet), Kenny Drew, Jr. (piano), Charnett Moffett (acoustic bass).
Cody Moffett Evidence Songs Evidence Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  Great, exciting playing!
I just finished listening to the CD for the second time in a row. Incredible playing by all, wonderful fiery piano, trumpet, sax, drums, and bass (I especially enjoyed the long and wonderful acoustic bass solo on track 7). Traditional jazz tunes played non-traditionally, with very modern note and scale choices. Voluptuously recorded instrumental sound, great jazz playing by some of the top guys in the world...what more can one ask of a jazz record! 5 stars!

Evidence
$14.29
Brian Bromberg's fourth recording for the Artistry label, and first since they were acquired by the Mack Avenue label, is a fairly predictable program of contemporary jazz, commercial funk, and pop song covers, as well as uptown New York City R&B-type dance tunes that should appeal to the urban crowd. His prominent electric bass guitar always has a retro feel going back to Ralphe Armstrong, Marcus Miller, Stanley Clarke, Larry Graham, and James Jamerson, but retains a current-day feel that is still relevant, remaining skilled and precise as any bassist currently playing the amplified instrument. Many of these tracks include a horn section featuring Randy Brecker, Eric Marienthal, Gerald Albright, and Rick Braun, while ...
| | Marc Copland Night Whispers New York Trio Recordings: Volume 3 CD (2009) (Import) Germany
Evidence
$16.39
From Erroll Garner to Cecil Taylor to Bill Evans, and from Chick Corea to Thelonious Monk, a wide variety of acoustic jazz pianists have thrived in the time-honored piano trio setting (piano, bass, and drums) over the years. It's a setting that has never gone out of style in jazz, and it's a setting that has served acoustic pianist Marc Copland well in his New York Trio Recordings series. The lineup has varied from one volume to the next; on New York Trio Recordings, Vol. 3: Night Whispers, Copland is joined by bassist Drew Gress and drummer Bill Stewart (whereas he was joined ...

| | Rosemary Clooney From Bing To Billie CDs (2004)
Evidence
$8.39
Rosemary Clooney's career had faltered after the mid-'60s, so her signing in 1977 by Concord Jazz launched a comeback that found her recording regularly for them until shortly before her death in 2002. This two-CD compilation combines two of her earliest recordings for the label. The first date, recorded in early 1978, is a tribute to her dear friend Bing Crosby (who had died a few months prior to the session), with whom she had appeared in various movies and on several LPs. She is backed by a superb band, including pianist Nat Pierce, tenor saxophonist Scott Hamilton, guitarist Cal Collins, bassist Monty Budwig, and drummer Jake Hanna. Clooney is in great voice, covering a number of standards favored by Crosby, including a lush "I Surrender Dear," a swinging take of Crosby's own "Where the Blue of the Night," and a heartfelt "Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral" accompanied ...

| | Cal Tjader El Sonido Nuevo CD (1966) (Import) Bonus Tracks; Japan
Evidence
$33.49
Latin jazz titans Eddie Palmieri (piano) and Cal Tjader (vibraphone) join forces on this thoroughly enjoyable session of south-of-the-border post-bop. Entitled EL SONIDO NUEVO, this 1966 release finds Tjader and Palmieri blending hot Latin styles (there are echoes of mambo, and foretastes of salsa) with the cool timbres and feel then popular in West Coast jazz. Despite relentless Latin grooves by the percussionists, and Palmieri's fiery playing--in which he incorporates guajira (a meter-shifting Cuban folk dance) and compasa (Cuban hill chants), among other styles--the proceedings have a smooth, almost lounge-like feel.
