This is the perfect CD for the morning after a party: soothing and thoughtful, with a touch of whimsy and enough rhythm to help you clean up. It's quiet but not formless, with empathic interplay between two Steely Dan bandmates on trumpet, guitar, and vocals. Slow transcends the usual musical categories, rendering Monk, Mancini, and Miles as well as music associated with rock groups like Black Sabbath. Michael Leonhart is a prodigious, precocious talent who won a Grammy while still in high school. His ethereal vocalizing on his own "Beautiful Drelo" and the standout "Slow" is reminiscent of Sting; his muted trumpet shines up the old classic "Baubles, Bangles and Beads," evoking both Chet Baker and Miles Davis, but without any of their darkness. Leonhart is clearly an original: see his wistful cowboy take on "Azure, the rarely covered Ellington tune, which features Jon Herington's lazy slide guitar and is punctuated by wolf whistles (note: it works). Leonhart's "Umpf!" is a witty delight and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" becomes the friendly backdrop to a relaxed mealtime conversation. Another uncommon gem is Mancini's poignant "The Lonely Princess," while the beautiful, extended take on "Flamenco Sketches" highlights Herington's fine guitar meditations. The two bossas -- Edú Lobo's "Zambi" and Ivan Lins' "Aparecida" -- are exquisitely subtle. This is an unusual, creative, and very enjoyable CD. Recommended. ~ Judith Schlesinger
Recorded at Avatar Studios and Candyland, New York, New York in March 2001.
Personnel: Michael Leonhart (vocals, trumpet, guitar); Jon Herington (acoustic & electric guitars, dobro).

Purchase Slow CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Ted Brown Free Spirit CD (1989)
Slow album
 $14.55 
A veteran tenor saxophonist who gained early recognition for his work with the Lennie Tristano school, Ted Brown has remained fairly obscure despite his consistent creativity. This superior trio set with the great bebop pianist Hod O'Brien and bassist Jacques Schols, features Brown at the top of his form. Other than his own "Smog Eyes" and the lesser-known "Trane's Slo Blues," all of the tunes are familiar bebop standards, but Brown, O'Brien, and Schols uplift and infuse them with fresh ideas. Among the more memorable selections are "Trane's Slo Blues," "Lester Leaps In" and ...

Recorded on February 22, 1972. Originally released on Cobblestone (9011). Includes liner notes by Doug Ramsey.
As strong as pianist Cedar Walton plays on his session, the main honors are taken by two of his sidemen. Tenor-saxophonist Hank Mobley, whose career was about to go into a complete eclipse, is in brilliant form, showing how much he had grown since his earlier days. ...

| | Arling & Cameron Hi-Fi Underground CD (2006) Import
Slow album
$13.15
After a long hiatus brought on by Richard Cameron's recovery from a broken back suffered in a van accident back in 2001 as well as each member pursuing solo avenues, Arling & Cameron's Hi-Fi Underground is a welcome return to action, if not quite to form. While not as transcendentally melodic, inventive, and silly as 1999's All-In or as conceptually note-perfect as 2000's Music for Imaginary Films, the record is well produced, the beats throughout are solid and fresh sounding, the basslines are suitably squelchy, and the melodies are cute and lightweight. As in the past, the duo expertly blends the guitars and bass of rock with bubbly synthetic textures and comes up with a winning hybrid of styles that works on multiple levels. Unfortunately, what doesn't work quite so well on Hi-Fi Underground are the lyrics and the vocals. Gerry Arling (or is it Cameron?) is at best a passable vocalist, and the guest female singers (including Princess Superstar) are a bit better; the problem is that they are singing some pretty brainless lyrics ranging from innocuous platitudes like "Love is just a game for you ...
