| | Marc Cary Rhodes Ahead, Vol. 1 CD Marc Cary Discography of CDs
A radical departure for jazz pianist Marc Cary, Rhodes Ahead, Vol. 1 features programmed beats, Moog synthesizers, and, as the title indicates, lots of the Fender Rhodes electric piano. The record has little to do with jazz, but it is a respectable foray into the ever-evolving club/dance genre. Tarus Mateen, one of Cary's like-minded colleagues from the acoustic jazz world, plays a mean electric bass throughout the album. Drummer Terreon Gully, also a jazz player, sits in for the restlessly funky "Transient Treasure" (parts one and two) and the super-slick "Home Comin'." Several guests share drum programming duties with Cary, and trumpet sensation Roy Hargrove contributes suave background vocals to "Inside Your Self (You'll Find Love)." ~ David R. Adler
Recorded at Cary Out Studios, New York, New York.
Personnel: Marc Cary (drums, percussion, drum programming); Tarus Mateen (vocals, percussion, drum programming); Dana Murray (drum programming); Roy Hargrove (background vocals).

Rhodes Ahead, Vol. 1 songs
$13.25
Shake It! is horn man Richie Vitale's third album for the Swiss-based TCB label. Modernist sax player Ralph Lalama guests with a quintet that has international flavor sharing playing time with Vitale throughout. But Lalama's high powered, biting sax seems out of place on a CD that, for the most part, is devoted to the hushed side of jazz. In contrast, Vitale's horns never loses their cool, even on those semi-progressive cuts like "Hara." This nine-minute track features avant-garde-ish Lalama's chattering balanced by the pleasant discursive piano of Tardo Hammer. You can clearly hear that the lineage comes straight from the small bop groups of the 1950s and 1960s (those headed by Hank Mobley, Freddie Hubbard, and others). One gets the feeling that this tune was inserted to allow everyone to show their impressive technical prowess -- and that they do with ease and aplomb. But the tunes that attend to the melody and are lyrical will catch and hold the ear of most listeners, like dreamy rendering of "Blame It on My Youth." Vitale stays well within the middle register and on or near the beat. No screeching here. That debts are owed to the Art Farmer, Miles Davis and Chet Baker school of brass playing is evident. With his muted horn in hand, Vitale approaches Miles Davis' aloofness on Jeff Morrison's "Silhouette." Lalama shows he has a gentle side on this cut. Vitale's interest in music from the Broadway stage explains the presence of "Small World," which comes close to being a classical brass quintet performance, and "I Believe in You" from Gypsy. Vitale played in the pit band for that show. He also gained important experience in becoming a solid lyrical ...

Haley Zalesky is a Toronto-based singer-songwriter who grew up in a little smoke-stack city in Northern Ontario. Her life has always been coloured by music, and she's been colouring outside the lines, musically speaking since before she knew how to write. Haley's songwriting began as her own private project, a web of notes and chords held together by her whispering alto. Lyrics filled margins in school notebooks, and loose pages lined dresser drawers. She hid away entire pieces done in careful, veiled verse, cherished but never shared or spoken of. Haley started to take her writing more seriously as her skills developed, and varied experiences playing the open mic circuit in Toronto taught her a few lessons. She learned that the crowd is only as convinced as you are, and that sometimes if you let them hear you, a purple room full of bohemian locals will warmly urge you to play again. A year has passed since she ...
