| | Eric Gould Miles Away...Wayne In Heavy CD Eric Gould Discography of CDs
The repertoire of the mid-'60s Miles Davis Quintet is adapted and explored on this excellent CD by pianist Eric Gould, bassist Leon Lee Dorsey, and drummer Greg Bandy. Despite the absence of trumpet and tenor, the 11 songs on the project work quite well in this format. The repertoire includes a few standards ("Nefertiti," "E.S.P.," "Seven Steps to Heaven," and "Nardis") and some songs not often recorded since the '60s. Gould's piano style, though influenced a little by Herbie Hancock, is pretty original, and his close interplay with his sidemen results in an appealing and fairly distinctive group sound. Each of these performances works quite well as Gould and his trio pay a little tribute to the past but also come up with consistently fresh statements. Recommended. ~ Scott Yanow

| | Gil Scott-Heron Winter In America CD (1974)
Miles Away...Wayne In Heavy
$10.59 One of Gil Scott-Heron's finest 1970s albums, WINTER IN AMERICA finds the ever-provocative vocalist/poet playing off the surprisingly gentle piano arrangements of Brian Jackson. Whereas other records (particularly SMALL TALK AT 125th AND LENOX) focus more on Scott-Heron's spoken-word missives, WINTER highlights the influential African-American performer's abilities as a singer, particularly on the soulful "Back Home" and the smooth, lyrically pointed title track, which superficially evokes a contemporaneous Barry White tune.
While the first part of WINTER IN AMERICA consists of studio sessions, the final four numbers feature Scott-Heron playing live in Washington, D.C., with the concert recordings easily on a par with the more polished earlier tracks, as exemplified by his stirring medley of "The Bottle," a funky cautionary tale, and the percussive, chanted "Guan Guanco." Second only to PIECES OF A MAN as an intriguing mix ...
| | Bill Heid Wet Streets CD (1999)
Miles Away...Wayne In Heavy
$14.65 Of the three organ combo CD's Heid has recently released he considers this his best. It's different in that he employs two saxophonists, Scott Peterson and Russ Miller. They're excellent foils, for each other and the leader. Add drummer Randy Gelespie, an uncrowned king of the kit, and you have a recording unique unto itself, sporting an ultimately provocative approach beyond that of any other B-3 date you may have ever heard.
On this project Heid also sounds out-of-body, even more animated. His approach is more as a space filler, comping and urging his front liners with pungent, stinging lines that swell and expand. In a more orchestral fashion, he supplies the foundation to this rich, meaty stew. All of the eleven compositions are written by Heid, and they're far from typical chitlin laced groove biscuits, going past standard musical nomenclature. You'l hear latin informed numbers, straight ahead or hard funk variations, slow and spooky or hard bop flagwavers, and undeniably bluesy and soulful underpinnings. This group attacks the music, Peterson's wailing tenor solos and Miller's prismatic diversity, shining whether on alto, tenor, soprano or flute. Their contributions make the music happen, especially when they play unison lines as on "Covert Ops." The most impressive piece is the modal, ultra-modern "Tsun Hun" evoking images of Heid's influences, Larry Young and McCoy Tyner. Heid is like greased lightning on his runs, the saxes grind, Peterson on soprano reaches for the stratosphere, and the sound goes way beyond the norm. Heid also has a penchant for dedicational titles like "400,000 Miles" (he's the Guiness record holder for miles hitch-hiked, ) "This Little Puppy" (for his recently deceased Corgi, ) the out-and-out groove number "Big John" (for Big John Patton, ) and the hard bopper "Rubber Marshmallows." ...
