One of the most technically adept and commercially successful jazz bassists to emerge in the '90s, Christian McBride parlayed a solid sense of time and an adventurous compositional flair into a solid solo career. On A FAMILY AFFAIR, he wanders a bit from his jazz roots, but it's to his credit that he's not mired in tradition. The opening tune "I'm Coming Home" recalls the funky sounds of Lee Morgan and Cannonball Adderly as it serves up an R&B-spiced sonic stew that continually simmers, with only McBride's good taste keeping things from bubbling over. Elsewhere, he explores fusion, R&B and straight-ahead jazz balladry to various extents, but the element tying it all together is McBride's fluid bass work, and his solos on both electric and acoustic bass are high points on A FAMILY AFFAIR.
Recorded at O'Henry Studios, North Hollywood, California on January 27-29, 1998 and LeGonks, Hollywood, California on January 30-31, 1998. Includes liner notes by Christian McBride.

Family Affair album
 $14.55   
Crossover, thy name is Downing. PLEASURES of the night, a collaboration between vocalist Will Downing and sax/flute wizard Gerald Albright, crosses so many genre lines that its appeal must be unprecedentedly broad. With the able assistance of ace jazz drummer Marvin "Smitty" Smith, pianist Patrice Rushen and others, Downing and Albright combine contemporary R&B, top 40 pop, lite jazz and traditional pop vocal stylings on an album that, for all its stylistic wandering, remains undeniably ...

| | Steve Oliver 3-D CD (2004)
Family Affair album
$14.65
As one reviewer said of the cheerful music and personality of this increasingly popular voice of smooth jazz guitar, it's Disneyland all the time with him. In other words, Positive Energy, the name of his second genre disc, wasn't just a happy marketing tool. And the title of this disc is appropriate, too, because with the co-production help of founding Spyro Gyra keyboardist Tom Schuman, Oliver digs deep into a rich variety of influences for a multifaceted romp through the worlds of pop, jazz, urban/hip-hop, worldbeat, Brazilian, and Latin music. While focusing as always on his classic acoustic guitar and brilliant "vocalese" to convey the lead melodies on the instrumentals, he stretches into edgier blues territory with his lesser-heard electric ...
| | Jeff Kashiwa Peace Of Mind CD (2004)
Family Affair CD music
$12.39
Jeff Kashiwa has a fluent if generic style on soprano, alto, and tenor, which fits perfectly into the "feel good" smooth music that he performs on "Peace of Mind." The 11 selections clock in between 3:46 and 5:14 and were clearly recorded with hopes of getting maximum radio airplay. Kashiwa's rhythm section is effective if anonymous (despite the presence of Brian Bromberg on bass) with the focus being almost entirely on the ...
