| | Bob Wolf Soup Nieske's My Desire CD Bob Wolf Soup Nieske's Discography of CDs
Bassist Bob Nieske's recording for GM (recorded in 1993 but released in 1996) is most notable for its subtle surprises. Although avant-garde in places, the performances are full of strong lyrical melodies, a quirky brand of swing and logical unpredictability. Nieske, who starts the set with a somber solo bass tribute to Charlie Haden and concludes it with his feature "My Desire," wrote nine of the 11 selections including tributes to Jimmy Giuffre, Charles Ives and the obscure pianist Dick Twardzik. There is also a heated swing version of "I Found A New Baby" (featuring for some odd reason two baritones) and Thelonious Monk's "Misterioso." In the quintet Jim Cameron generally plays alto (with one appearance apiece on tenor and baritone), Tom Hall is mostly on tenor (with a bit of baritone), guitarist Jon Damian holds the pianoless group together and drummer Nat Mugavero is versatile enough to uplift the colorful music. Together the musicians create a consistently intriguing set that blurs the differences between various styles; the program on a whole is worth several close listens. ~ Scott Yanow

My Desire album
$6.75 A surprise best-seller when it was first released, this mostly improvised pairing of singer/keyboardist/producer Al Kooper with two major guitar heroes of the day sounds fascinating all these years later precisely because of the distance of time--nobody makes records like this any more. The material runs the gamut from folk pop (covers of Donovan and Dylan), to blues ("Albert's Shuffle," "You Don't Love Me"), to heady jams ("His Holy Modal Majesty"), to big-band jazz ("Harvey's Tune").
All the tunes make effective templates for the kind off-the-cuff music-making that in less capable hands might have ...

My Desire CD music
$13.69 They say that three times is a charm. CHASE THE SUNSET - is the 3rd Solo Smooth Jazz CD from trumpeter, flugelhornist, and multi-instrumentalist, Bill McGee. Following in the tradition of "This One's 4U" and "Soul Man", Bill adds five (5) smooth originals to a blend of seven (7) R&B/Soul cover songs that make this a perfect choice for people seeking new musical experiences. CHASE THE SUNSET is a great collection of classic covers; including Stevie Wonder's - "I Wish" featuring Mike Spratley (vocals) on the last chorus and Brandon Lane on bass, Brandon's a 13 year old prodigy making his recording debut on this cut and Earth, Wind and Fire's - "Keep Your Head To The Sky". Then you get to hear the beautiful and talented Chyp Greene (Plunky & Oneness) on a classic Quiet Storm version of "Go Outside In the Rain". "Outside in the rain" alone makes this CD worth the purchase, this version is destined for years of Quiet Storm play at radio stations all over the world. It's just that smooth. The title song "Chase The Sunset" is a mood setter, the kind of song that you rewind to keep your groove smooth. It features Bill's long time musical co-writing partner, Tom Reaves on Guitar. This is the quintessential smooth jazz groove that takes you to another place and soothes all the daily stress (a must hear.) Another song to check is Bill's cover of "I Like The Way You Move", featuring Neo-DooWop group Bak N Da Day on vocals and James Saxsmo Gates on Sax, this version of the song is as classic as the original by Outkast and the Kenny G - Earth Wind and Fire Collaboration on the same song. Bill is one of the best multi-instrumentalist in the country and does all of the rhythm tracks except guitar and all of the brass work, when combined with the smooth blending of Bak N Da day, Saxsmo's intense sax solo and Tom Reaves' great guitar work, this song becomes one of the best ever recorded versions. Now, if you've purchased the first two albums you can testify that Bill McGee is a master at remaking Stylistic songs. This album features Bill and friend James Holden (Soprano Sax) on "STOP, LOOK & LISTEN". This is a great version of the smooth and classic hit, with a great Flugelhorn - Soprano Sax duet, frequent ...
