Personnel: Lucy Smith, vocals; Marcin Fahmy, piano & keyboards; Jeff Hanley, acoustic & electric bass; Michael Caskey, drums & percussion; Grey Ward, alto sax; Marques Carroll, trumpet; Anthony Gravino, guitar; and Cheryl Corley, lead vocals, track #7.REVIEWSWith a mature and confident voice, Lucy covers the spectrum -- offering jazz, blues and some funky R&B. Her arrangements are artful, the songwriting smart and there are some wonderful surprises. So listen and enjoy!-- Richard Steele, Chicago Public RadioLucy Smith sounds as if she would be as comfortable playing to a packed House of Blues Crowd as she would to 12 people at The Green Mill (Chicago) on a Tuesday night. Her vocals maintain complexities while sounding effortless. Ms. Smith's quivering intonations on the gospel cover "Go Down Moses" provide emotive emphasis on the cry for freedom, while the percussions, trumpet and piano of her accompanying band punctuate the sentiment when Smith declares, "Let my people go." On "Kiela," her voice permeates the room through black speakers and enters the soul through aural osmosis. "Kiela" is funky without losing its jazz base, containing the right mix of instrumental experimentation and structural songwriting, thrusting ...
| | Gondwana Is It CD (2006)
Retro-Spec album
$9.85
As though political boundaries had been drawn and fortified, musical genres today often stare at each other through scrolling razor-wire fences, or cracks in fortress walls that ensure seclusion from each other.Safe and confined, many musical phrases toss barbs back and forth like "don't taint my jazz rap with your baroque classical" or "hey, you got west coast hip hop on my western swing!" But sprinkled across the sonic landscape are other feisty and curious notes and tone sets that look to each other with hope and ask, "heck, can't we all just get along?"There was a time, many millions of years ago, when they could. During the Mesozoic era, in a land called Gondwana, the world's tectonic plates, continents and musical notes all lived together in joyous harmony. Long before cognitive humans ...
| | Japhy Ryder Verde CD (2006)
Retro-Spec CD music
$7.99
This is the first studio release by Burlington Vermont's Japhy Ryder. Japhy Ryder has been touring steadily throughout the NorthEast coast, working hard at perfecting their organic blend of jazz, rock and electronic music. Check out japhyryder for more informationReviews:SEVEN DAYS VT: Casey Rea "Burlington's Japhy Ryder are committed musicians who don't let 40-hour work weeks get in the way of steady gigging. They're a regular presence on the Vermont club circuit and have been invited to open for several big-name acts including the Roots and Ozomatli. Now, the trumpet-driven, instrumental quartet is gearing up for the release of their self-titled full-length debut. Chances are, their schedules will only get busier.It's not entirely fair to call JR as a jam band, as most of their songs are tightly scripted. The funk of yore provides them with their main source of inspiration, although elements of the burgeoning "live electronic" genre occasionally make their way into the mix. The disc's overall production is praiseworthy â€" especially considering it was tracked in a Long Island basement in a mere two days. Most of the tunes on Japhy Ryder are solid, some of 'em even soulful. Trumpeter Will Andrews plays with a laid-back assuredness, favoring old-school cool over brassy flash. Guitarist Jeremy Kizina has more in common with Afrobeat axe men than jazzy jammers; he rarely plays chords, instead opting to echo Andrews' melodies with single-note wah-wah lines. With bassist Patrick Ormiston's portly grooves and drummer Jason Thime's crisp rhythmic articulation, the band arrives ...
