Drummer Joe Farnsworth has been the drummer of choice for many New York recording sessions over a dozen-year stretch prior to this CD, which is his recording debut as a leader. Having studied with two great drummers, the late Art Taylor and the late Alan Dawson, Farnsworth keeps things moving as he works with a variety of quartets and quintets, with bassist Ron Carter joining him throughout the session. Pianist Harold Mabern contributed the hard bop opener, "Sweet Poppa," which also features tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander, a frequent collaborator on recording dates with Farnsworth. Veteran trombonist Curtis Fuller, with David Hazeltine taking over the piano, is added for the loping standard "Old Folks." Trumpeter Jim Rotundi is on a trio of tracks, including the leader's one original of the date, the funky "Prime Time" (seemingly a throwback to the era of 1960s soul-jazz), as well as the brisk hard bop sextet arrangement of "Hello, Young Lovers," which also showcases Fuller and tenor saxophonist John Farnsworth (the leader's brother). Tenor saxophonist Benny Golson is on hand for a trio of his compositions, including the well-known "Stable Mates" and "Five Spot After Dark," along with the debut of a new Golson ballad, "And So, I Love Again." Since Joe Farnsworth was so used to playing with most of the musicians on the date, it seems like this was a CD that came together in one recording session without a fuss, though each track sounds as polished as if rehearsed by a regular working group. ~ Ken Dryden Joe Farnsworth It's Prime Time Songs It's Prime Time Review

KUBA OMS BIOThe time is now for Kuba Oms, the Canadian singer who mines ‘70s-era soul, funk and rock n’ roll on his solo debut, How Much Time. As the long-time musical director of the live house jam band Velvet, he has taken a contemporary approach to his own project that could be likened to a cross between Jamiroquai, Gnarls Barkley, David Gray and Ben Harper.The 15-song collection includes the timeless opener “never meant to hurt you,” a well-distanced reflection on his one-time love; the upbeat pop of “beautiful uncertainty” about taking risks and living life again; the from-the-soul destined classic “piece de resistance,” a ballad about fighting the state of the world with love and truth; the unique reggae-based soul song “comin’ undone,” complete with patois and whistle; and the “velvet mix” of the acoustic “this heaven,” written to honour late great snowboarder Craig Kelly for the closing credits of Let It Ride, which won best film and best soundtrack at 2007’s Utah’s X-Dance Film Festival. A recent development has “never meant to hurt you” placed in the forthcoming Forest Whitaker, Jessica Beal, Ray Liotta film entitled, Powder Blue.How Much Time has been a long time coming, but Kuba’s finally arrived at a sound that is purely him. With the skills he has acquired by helming Velvet’s highly popular weekly jam in Victoria, British Columbia (he also lives in Vancouver) for more than a decade, he’s able to reach for the perfect vocal styling to fit the vibe of each song. His delivery is always soulful, raw and emotive, but also has a laidback quality. In other words, the guy is no show-off. He has the intuition and chops to give what’s needed.Born in Victoria to a Scottish mother and Indian father, Kuba is a third generation Canadian. As a kid, his parents held bible studies every Thursday evening, which ended in huge sing-along jams with his dad and uncle hosting on acoustic guitars. “This was when I’d come into the room,” he remembers. “I’d sit cross legged and just listen.”He started at age 15 by singing covers at school and around bonfires. An accomplished tennis player, he had the option of a scholarship to a U.S. college, but opted for music instead. And so his pursuit began. His first original band, Out Of Nowhere, built quite a following in the west coast with its influence of rock from the ‘60s and ‘70s, such as ...
