| | Richard Davis Now's The Time (Recorded Live At Jazz City) CD Richard Davis Discography of CDs
Originally two side-long avant-garde jams on bebop standards ("Now's the Time" and "Epistrophy" which both clock in at over 22 minutes apiece), this live session was expanded upon its CD reissue with the inclusion of a version of Clifford Jordan's "Highest Mountain." Although tenor saxophonist Jordan, pianist Joe Bonner, drummer Freddie Waits and bassist Richard Davis were on the date, trumpeter Marvin "Hannibal" Peterson is the most dominant force, both as a player and in his conception of opening up the music. These very unpredictable renditions reward repeated listenings. ~ Scott Yanow
Personnel includes: Richard Davis, Clifford Jordan, Joe Bonner, Freddie Waits, Marvin "Hannibal" Peterson.

BiographyGreg MeckesGreg Meckes was born in Buffalo, NY in 1968 and actually started his musical endeavors on drums. Being influenced by a musical family, he was exposed to a variety of music growing up including Frank Zappa, King Crimson, and Buddy Rich. However, after hearing Dixie Dregs, his taste changed to guitar thanks to Steve Morse. "I was overwhelmed by him. Not only his playing, but his compositions. I immediately recognized the importance of being a composer over being a player."While looking up to several players along the way including Scott Henderson and Michael Hedges, Greg never really tried to analyze or play any of their music. "I always respected them tremendously. Whenever I would try to learn some of their material, I couldn't do it justice even if I could play it. But they all seeped into my playing in other ways."First taking lessons with guitar transcriber Dave Whitehill at age 16, and then with other teachers including Tony Scozzaro, Greg made the most of his direction and influences. Having a musical family, it was easy to find an unattended guitar around the house.Right from the beginning, Greg was concerned about composing music. "I was always trying to write music as I still do. I think being able to write good music is more important than being a good player. It's always been easier for me to think of it as playing music instead of playing the guitar."Greg was featured in "Guitar for the Practicing Musician" magazine in August of 1993. Editor in chief John Stix wrote . . . "Call him Mr. Melody." He also won an "Outstanding Guitarist of the Year" award at the Buffalo Music Awards that same year - the same year he released his first CD Square One."That was quite a year. I recorded some songs that I wrote a few years earlier, played with great musicians, and had tremendous feedback about my first release Square One. It was much more than I hoped for. I wanted to record an album for years but never had the money." With the warm local reception both from musicians and media in Buffalo, Greg played as many shows with the band as he could. From there, he recorded another instrumental rock fusion album with Mazureks Maze and drummer Todd Mazurek in 1995. "That was fun. I got to work with Jim Wynne (bassist) again. Todd was nice enough to let me offer input in the production." Shortly after that he spawned his second release: Mission. Teaming up with keyboardist Pat Georger, the music took a new direction. "I wanted to collaborate with Pat on this recording. The music had more of jazz-funk element. Although, we still tried to keep it rocking". Mission achieved a more mature and cleaner sound than Square One. Even though ...

JUMP...JIVE....AND SHREIK!!!If you only buy one Halloween CD this year, \"Swingin at the Seance\" should be the one!!!!The songs, with the exception of three originals are all vintage 1920’s, 30’s and 40’s swing tunes that were originally done by the likes of Bing Crosby, Louis Armstrong, Bessie Smith, Artie Shaw, Louis Jordan and others. Most of these songs have never been touched by anyone since they were first recorded on 78rpm. The Moon-Rays have dug the Skeletons out of the Closet, dusted them off, and givin them fresh life with these recordings. Staying true to the original recordings yet putting some of the Moon-Rays \"signature\" touches was no easy feat, employing the help of over a dozen musicians and singers to attain that \"original 30\'s sound\".With marvelous vocals by Vince Clark and Ms. Dixie Villec the Moon-Rays top it off with one of the coolest packaging jobs I\'ve seen in a long time. bringing you right into the haunted Stickney Mansion for a midnight seance\' courtesy of the talented Wendy Amdahl. Swingin at the Seance\' will be the definite \"must have\" addition to anyone’s swingin Halloween party this year!!!!!!!MONSTERKID MAGAZINE SAYS:Swingin\' at the SéanceThe Moon-RaysIt\'s always been a little hard to describe the music of The Moon-Rays to the uninitiated. It\'s a blend of so many things that it can\'t really be categorized unless \"cool\" is a musical category of its own. Their past releases have been mainly rooted in the sounds of the \'60s lounge and surf music, but always with a slant toward the unusual and spooky. Songs with titles like Blues for Vampira, The Grim Creeper, Thrillville, Drag Fink, Mysterion, Sophomore Werewolf in Love and The Devil in Nylons gives you some insight into the thematic direction of the group. In The Moon-Rays\' newest collection of spooky selections titled Swingin\' at the Séance, the band trades in their bongos for brass and they explore some of the more macabre pop songs from the \'30s and \'40s. If you\'re a fan of Big Band music you might recognize the title song as a piece originally recorded by Glenn Miller ...
