| | Robert Gass Songs Of Healing CD Robert Gass Discography of CDs
Psychologist Robert Gass and his choral group On Wings of Song occupy a unique place in the widening field of recorded chant. Where many popular Kirtan leaders and chant aficionados lean toward tribal rhythms, exotic instrumentation, and charismatic vocal improvisation, Robert Gass favors steady, soothing tempos and simple acoustic accompaniment. Although Gass and others take the occasional solo vocal turn, the sweetly blended voices of the choir remain in the foreground. Their cohesiveness models a universal harmony appropriate for this collection of healing songs. "Universal" also describes the song choices. Gass puts his own gentle spin on songs by Sandy Denny, the Who ("See Me Feel Me"), and Carly Simon, as well as some traditional songs from the yogic, Buddhist and Catholic traditions.

Songs Of Healing album
$13.59
Not all mellow, Houston Person's tribute to the softer side of jazz has its moments based on the laid-back timbre of his soul rather than a program consisting of only ballads. The tenor sax he wields certainly reflects the tradition established by Ben Webster in its soul-drenched tone, but is not as vocally pronounced or vibrato-driven. The quite capable pianist John Di Martino is the one whose more enunciated notions are harnessed, while tasteful guitar by the underrated James Chirillo rings out in acceptance of Person's embraceable hues. In a program of standards and two blues jams, Person rounds into shape this quintet of true professionals to render themes that are harder to play slow than fast. The slower material includes the regretful, throaty ballad "Too Late Now," the totally ...
