Groundtruther is not a band, actually, but a project created by guitarist/composer Charlie Hunter and drummer, composer, and electronics maestro Bobby Previte. There will be three albums in the Groundtruther catalog when it's all done, of which Latitude is the first -- Longitude and Altitude are the other titles in the series. In addition to the duo, each album will play host to a different guest instrumentalist, making each album a trio offering. On Latitude, it is saxophonist Greg Osby. Illustrating the conceptual nature of the outing are the track titles, "North Pole," "Arctic Circle," and "40th Parallel," all the way to "Tropic of Calms," and "South Pole" on the other end with many stops between. This is a freewheeling recording, improvisation based on rhythm and riff are the framework for each selection while Osby is the bridge not only between musicians, but the interpolator whatever language is being spoken. Strange sonics and beats come popping out of Previte's ether as Hunter struts and snakes around them with this jazz-o'-time-and-space warp style of bending not only individual notes but entire chords and riff figures into something exotic and new. Where he appears, Osby in his wonderfully articulated blues-meets-free jazz manner of soloing, offers historical weight to these proceedings, but also a melodic construction that roots them to jazz's heritage in the moment. Whether it's the freely improvised "North Pole," the shifty futuristic bluesy funk of "Horse Latitudes North," the steamy, slim-line funk of "Equator," or the shimmering, futuristic ambience in "Antarctic Circle," he brings the focus to the tradition itself, allowing his bandmates to extrapolate and bead it on geographical meditation. Osby is absent on "Tropic of Cancer," and the result is an excursion into fragmented, angular junglism, and Previte's breaks and Hunter's guitar spar and turn on a dime in some sort of humid futurist twilight zone. Latitude is an engaging if sometimes confounding listen and offers plenty of interest as to what the next two volumes will hold. ~ Thom Jurek

Live Recording

Groundtruther: Charlie Hunter (8-string guitar); Bobby Previte (drums, electronics).The Wire (p.59) - "As ever, Previte has the ability to invest a simple machine beat with enormous character and presence, slipping the metre, adding and subtracting beats in a way that keeps the music from becoming too austere."
Down Beat (pp.66-7) - 3 stars out of 5 - "The most engaging slicing and dicing comes on 'Horse Latitudes South,' which dips in and out of different jumpy tempos and takes some genuinely unforeseen turns."
JazzTimes (p.90) - "Hunter has surpassed his previous work for sheer ingenuity, finding extreme tonalities and timbres within his instrument..."

Ken Burns Jazz
Lester Young Ken Burns Jazz CD  (2000)

Latitude album
CD $9.89  4.5 stars Audio Samples Definitive Album
Recorded between 1936 and 1957. Includes liner notes by Francis Davis. Digitally remastered by Kevin Reeves (Universal Mastering Studios-East). Tenor sax icon Lester Young was dubbed "Pres," short for President, by singer Billie Holiday, as a term of not only affection, but also as a tribute to Young's unique influence in the jazz world. Young was the first saxophonist to deviate from Coleman Hawkins' bold, big-toned, breathy, hot approach, opting instead for a light, transparent, cool tone. He sacrificed nothing in terms of swing, and his inventiveness turned the jazz world upside down. This collection is one of the most comprehensive collections ever of Young's work, covering his big band years with Count Basie, as an accompanist for Billie Holiday, and his later solo career. There's the jaunty swing of "Honeysuckle Rose," the mad swing-dance abandon of "Clap Hands, Here Comes Charlie," where Young anticipates the R&B/rock & roll school of saxophone playing, and the lush, tender romanticism of "Polka Dots and Moonbeams." The latter tune is from a 1950s reunion with the Basie big band, a beautiful example of ballad playing that gives lie to the notion that Lester Young's talent had somewhat declined towards the end of his life. This collection is an ideal overview of an American ...

Very Best Of Reginald Dixon
Very Best Of Reginald Dixon CD  (2006)

Latitude songs
CD $7.19
For most folks in the U.S., the name Reginald Dixon may not raise many eyebrows, but for anyone in the U.K. who had a radio between the years of 1930 and 1970, Reginald Dixon was "Mr Blackpool," the master of the mighty three-manual, 14-rank "Wonder Wurlitzer" organ that was enshrined in the Blackpool Tower Ballroom. Not only did he help design it, he mastered it, developing a uniquely trembling tiba approach that became known as the "Blackpool Sound" to the millions of listeners who tuned in to his regular Sunday broadcasts all over Europe. This best-of collection offers 35 fine examples of Dixon's incredible musical dexterity, and whether you're an organ fan or not, it's almost impossible ...
