Originally released in 1961. Pianist Wynton Kelly, bass player Paul Chambers and drummer Charlie Persip round out the David Newman quartet on songs 'Skylark', 'Summertime' and 'Cousin Slim'. 2002.
Personnel: David "Fathead" Newman (alto & tenor saxophones, flute); Wynton Kelly (piano); Paul Chambers (bass); Charlie Persip (drums).
Originally released on Atlantic (1366). Includes liner notes by Don Gold.
The title of this 1961 release best sums up this quartet album. There is nothing particularly innovative about this recording, but the level of expertise and musical maturity displayed here is truly astonishing. This is simply straight-ahead hard bop performed by some of the finest musicians in 1960s jazz, including saxophonist David "Fathead" Newman and pianist Wynton Kelly.
Newman's playing is not only confident, it is unbelievably inspired. He rips through all six selections here, employing the great bebop vernacular developed by Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. Newman plays tenor, alto, and flute on STRAIGHT AHEAD, providing some variation to this set. Newman's flute work on his composition "Night of Nisan" is particularly energetic, as is his alto solo on his bluesy "Congo Chant." The highlight of the record, however, is the smoking, Caribbean-flavored opening track, "Batista's Groove."

Straight Ahead

Originally released in 1967. With dazzling playing on Bob Dylans 'Just Like A Woman'. 'I Wish You Love' and 'The Holy Land', David Newman reaches new heights on his first recorded album after leaving the Ray Charles band. 2002.
Personnel: David Newman (tenor saxophone, flute); Kossie Gardner (organ); Tod
Dunbar (guitar); Milt Turner (drums).
Originally released on Atlantic (1489). Includes liner notes by Alvin Baxter.
The House of David was David "Fathead" Newman's comeback album of sorts, marking his first release after the end of his association with Ray Charles and a few years spent with his family in his hometown of Dallas. Organist Kossie Gardner, guitarist Ted Dunbar, and drummer Milt Turner support Newman's gritty "Texas tenor" sound, which captures the straightforwardness of R&B pop and the improvisational elements of jazz. Newman plays the flute on the spunky "Miss Minnie," but one of the most interesting songs on ...

Newman met Charles in 1952 and was a working member of his band from 1954-1964. This program of tunes so closely associated with Charles features the tenor saxophonist in the company of vibist Steve Nelson, John Hicks in the ...

On one hand, vocalist/lyricist Brazelton musically brings to the table a rock sensibility with orchestral jazz-like urban landscape underpinnings ala Henry Cow. It's a constructivist's approach, building layers of all encompassing, melodic and harmonic chaos within certain dynamic and orgasmic rhythmic structures. Other the other hand her vocal quality, ...
