Benson earned his reputation as a superior jazz guitarist through his partnership with soul/jazz organist Brother Jack McDuff. Several solo albums for the CTI label ensued before a switch to the giant Warner Brothers resulted in extraordinary chart success with this release. Benson's remake of the title track, originally a hit for fellow guitarist Gabor Szabo, set the tone for the entire set wherein mellifluous funk underscores the artist's sweet voice and soft-touch technique. Like Nat 'King' Cole before him, Benson left jazz to court a wider audience and with Breezin' he did so with considerable aplomb.

George Benson first earned his reputation as a superior jazz guitarist through his partnership with soul/jazz organist Brother Jack McDuff.

Benson's remake of the title track, originally a hit for fellow guitarist Gabor Szabo, set the tone for the entire set, wherein mellifluous funk underscores the artist's sweet voice and soft-touch technique.

AWB's artistic winning streak continued with its outstanding fourth album, Soul Searching. Interestingly, this wasn't an album that enjoyed a great deal of publicity or that contained a lot of major hits. In fact, its biggest single, the dreamy "Queen of My Soul," only made it to number 21 on Billboard's R&B albums chart. But thanks to the devoted following AWB had acquired since signing with Atlantic in 1974, Soul Searching went gold. Indeed, AWB aficionados were quite receptive to first-rate ...

I REMEMBER MILES won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Performance. This stunning album is Shirley Horn's loving tribute to her friend and colleague, the legendary late Miles Davis. Davis was so taken by Horn's first album EMBERS AND ASHES that he forced The Village Vanguard to let her virtually-unknown trio open for him during his 1961 run there. Their friendship and admiration for each other's music lasted through the years, and Shirley Horn's 1991 recording YOU WON'T FORGET ME, was one of the last recordings Miles Davis made. Horn ...

Recorded in New York, New York on January 21, 1949; WOR Studios, New York, New York on May 9, 1952 and April 20, 1953; the Van Gelder Studio, Hackensack, New Jersey on March 6, 1954 and March 9, 1958. Recorded between 1945 & 1986. Includes liner notes by Bob Blumenthal. Davis spent the most groundbreaking years of his career on Columbia; volume eight of that label's "This Is Jazz" series offers a survey, however inherently limited, of his work from 1955 to 1965, a period that covers his two classic quintets, the recording of KIND OF BLUE and his first work with Gil Evans. What THE BEST OF MILES DAVIS includes is material from BIRTH OF THE COOL, represented by three cuts from that LP, and from sessions done between 1952 and 1954 that featured musicians like J.J. Johnson, Jackie McLean, Jimmy Heath, Percy Heath and Art Blakey. It's an interesting period, in that neither Blue Note nor Davis had quite developed into the icons they were about to become. Ironically, with the final two cuts on this collection (from 1959's SOMETHING ELSE), both the label and Miles Originally released as a 2 LP set. 2 CD Retrospective Spans 40 Years & 7 Labels Personnel: Miles Davis (trumpet); Lee Konitz, Cannonball Adderley, Jackie McLean (alto saxophone); Jimmy Heath (tenor saxophone); Gerry Mulligan (baritone saxophone); J.J.

Kowtow Popof Kowtow Drops The Pop Off CD  (2003)

Breezin' album
CD $11.39
The title of Kowtow Popof's latest release, "Kowtow Drops the Pop Off," doesn't go far enough. The Rockville musician should drop the entire name, which is surely scaring away listeners. Far from the unlistenable eccentric his tag suggests, K.P. is a skilled songwriter, arranger and producer. Neither a rock purist nor a electronica zealot, he crafts music that balances songcraft with samples and swooshes. "Kowtow Drops the Pop Off" previews eight selections from two upcoming albums, one of songs and another of instrumentals. Remarkably, K.P. is good at both. The disc's grabbers are "Higher" and "Life as a Hobby," both tuneful, slightly bluesy rockers that favor guitar over synths. Yet such instrumentals as "Run to Daylight" and the theremin-embellished "Theme From Lucky Guy" aren't mere filler. Any guy who can invoke Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" while singing about "Slim Jims & Tab" over a tick-tock electrobeat is not about to be typecast. -- Mark Jenkins, The Washington Post---Kowtow Popof has continued to march to his own beat - one that's steeped in folk, garage rock, electronic experimentation and pop. With all those influences at work, it's not a shock to hear many different facets of Popof's personality shining through the material. And it's also not a shock to hear everything from instrumental ambiance to gleaming pop-rock.Simple, clean songs that don't work too hard to bring out the emotional and occasionally transcendental nature of a gifted songwriter. A time-tested recipe that always goes down well. -- Heidi Drockelman, Indie-Music.com---It is the time of Sputnik. Sci-fi author Robert A. Heinlein slides behind the wheel of his '57 Chevy, turns on the radio, and tunes in a station far left of the dial, a distant signal carrying music from the future. Today the DJ is playing a postmodern instrumental rave-up called "Run to Daylight."The drums pound and the acoustic guitar jangles, a pair of sticks and a vintage Harmony staking a rhythm around the campfire. Heinlein drops his car into drive and hits the gas. The future is far away, but it's all right here. And there is nothing but space in which to get lost.So begins Kowtow Drops the Pop Off, the new EP from Rockville, Maryland-based singer-songwriter Kowtow Popof. Part instrumental, part lyric-based song, the eight-song disc bristles with imagination and energy, a sonic signature refined over three previous CDs. Popof blends his most audible influences -- Peter Gabriel, Graham Parker, Bill Nelson -- to unique effect, shuttling the listener to a locale that calls to mind nothing so ...
