With THE LIGHT BEYOND, Frank Gambale, Stuart Hamm, and Steve Smith pick up where they left off on their first release, SHOW ME WHAT YOU CAN DO. Aside from the usual bouts of chops-driven mania, LIGHT is tempered with a slightly gentler edge overall. More advanced planning and the participants' greater experience as a unit has yielded works of more intense harmonic complexity and musicality. Make no mistake, however, as these fusion giants are perfectly capable of pushing the limits of their instruments at any given moment.
With the opening tones and train-like groove of "Katahdin," it is evident that the music here is of a higher plane than most fusion. Gambale, along with his signature soloing style, turns in some of the most sonically colorful work of his career. Smith, too, is at the top of his game, pulling off death defying licks and complex time grooves with both crystal precision and a deep foundation. Anchoring it all is Hamm, long known as a rock monster with Joe Satriani, who pulls off the masterful solo piece "Nostalgia." Other intriguing works include Gambale's "Yin" and "Yang," the thundering "Lumpy's Lament," and the soaring closer, "Fugitive Aspirations."

Light Beyond music CDs
$13.45  
Although he's primarily known as a heavy metal shredder, guitarist Greg Howe can pretty much adapt to any style thrown his way -- including jazz fusion. And this is precisely the style that is featured throughout 2003's Extraction, which saw Howe joined by such top-notch instrumentalists as Victor Wooten on bass and Dennis Chambers on drums (as well as David Cook on keys). Longtime fans of Howe who are hoping for at least a glimpse of his hard rock roots are out of luck here, as the tunes often recall the carefree fusion days of the 1970s, when such artists as Billy Cobham, Stanley Clarke, and Al di Meola were consistently ...

| | Richard Rogers: No Strings CD (2004)
Light Beyond songs
$9.85
Composer Richard Rodgers' first Broadway musical after the death of his partner, lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II, was No Strings in 1962. For it, Rodgers eschewed finding someone else to write lyrics to his songs and opted to write his own. The show was unusual in other ways, too. It was set in the present day and had a current, '60s theme -- it was about an interracial romance. And, giving its title more than one meaning, Rodgers had the music orchestrated without any string instruments. Of course, he didn't write '60s pop music; his idea of contemporary music was big band swing. It was therefore appropriate that Atlantic Records hit upon the idea of making an album of music from the show arranged in just that way. The greater concept was, suppose you left the Broadway theater where No Strings was showing and, to continue your evening, stopped in at a nightclub where a performer such as LaVern Baker, Chris Connor, Herbie Mann, or Bobby Short was playing, or, better yet, all four, and suppose they just happened to be doing songs from No Strings in their own styles? This, then, is "an after-theatre version" of 12 of the songs from No Strings, and they turn out to make the transition just fine. This is not a studio cast recording; none of the singers are playing the characters who sing the songs in the show. They simply have been assigned songs that conform somewhat to their individual styles and given arrangements by Al Cohn (for Connor and Short) and Bobby Scott (for Baker) that fit them. Thus, "Be My Host," "The Man Who Has Everything," "An Orthodox Fool," and "Love Makes the World Go" all sound like typically effervescent ...

Ferguson wrote three tunes for the session, including the funky "Hubbard's Cupboard" and "Two Moods for Freddie" (which shifts gears from elegant and nocturnal ...
