A '92 release by British saxophonist Courtney Pine, who with each album moves more toward the musical center. He's working with pop, rock, and reggae compositions and musicians, but at the same time still playing forceful, frequently dynamic tenor and soprano solos. It's not really fusion, nor is it the kind of uncompromising jazz that he once championed. ~ Ron Wynn

Possibly the best of Julian "Cannonball" Adderley's many releases, 1961's KNOW WHAT I MEAN? finds the alto saxophonist in a different setting. Usually found fronting hard-bop combos featuring his brother Nat on cornet, Adderley is here accompanied by pianist Bill Evans, bassist Percy Heath, and Modern Jazz Quartet drummer Connie Kay. In these more placid surroundings, Adderley showcases an entirely different side to his playing.
Accompanied by Evans' impressionistic, watery piano and Kay's low-key ...
| | Marcelle Gauvin Faces Of Love CD (1999)
Closer To Home songs
$13.25
In youth-driven idioms like alternative rock, dance-pop, and hip-hop, you don't find a lot of artists making their recording debuts at 45. But jazz is a different ball game. Jazz audiences tend to be more accepting of late bloomers because they realize that artists need to improve and develop with time; if an artist doesn't have a lot to say at 20 or 25, he/she might have plenty to say at 40, 45, or 50. In terms of recording, Marcelle Gauvin is one of jazz's late bloomers; the Massachusetts vocalist was 45 when she recorded her first album as a leader, Faces of Love. This competent, if unremarkable, debut shows Gauvin to be a likable singer with a charming, vulnerable quality to her voice. The singer picks a few warhorses that have been done to death over the years; do listeners really need to hear yet another conventional reading of "Love ...
| | Monty Alexander Rocksteady CD (2004) Hybrid; SACD Hybrid
Closer To Home album
$16.05
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
Prior to becoming an ace mainstream jazz pianist in the U.S., native Jamaican Monty Alexander played on countless sessions at Studio One in Kingston -- well before reggae, rocksteady, and even ska crossed the seas. Since 1998, secure in his jazz credentials, he has been reminding listeners of those roots, cranking out album after album and managing to unite jazz and reggae in a sometimes irresistible fusion. This time, Alexander reaches further back to pre-reggae Jamaican pop from the late '60s/early '70s, bringing along a guitar-slinging friend from the old days, Ernest Ranglin. On previous Jamaican-accented albums, Alexander sometimes sounded as if he was making an effort to hold back his prodigious technique in order to keep things simple. But here he sounds more comfortable paring down his playing to the basics while still throwing in an occasional sly quote or monster lick, now going more and more to his evocative melodica playing. Ranglin brings a brittle, staccato touch to everything he touches, and the rhythm section careens gently along, with only rare hints of a ska feel and without the overpowering dub-flavored bass of previous Alexander Jamaican outings like "Meets Sly and Robbie" and parts of "Goin' Yard." Desmond Dekker's "Israelites," one of the first genuine Jamaican hits in the U.S., moves and grooves much like the original while allowing for some jazz licks. Less ...
