Guitarist Peter Leitch can always be relied upon to play high-quality modern straight-ahead jazz. On this Reservoir CD, he heads a quintet that also features the underrated but talented Jed Levy on tenor and (on two numbers) flute, pianist George Cables, bassist Dwayne Burno, and drummer Steve Johns. The music is primarily hard bop, with the highlights including Henry Mancini's "Theme from Mr. Lucky," Charlie Parker's obscure "Segment," and an unaccompanied acoustic guitar version of "East of the Sun." Most unusual is hearing a cover version of Albert Ayler's "Ghosts," although Leitch cheats a bit by turning the avant-garde piece into a calypso. He also contributes four originals, including the driving "Allyson." Peter Leitch has continued to grow and evolve as a guitarist through the years, and he is in superior form throughout this enjoyable set. ~ Scott Yanow

Autobiography
$12.59
Sergio Salvatore has the odd fortune of resembling child actor Fred Savage from TV's "The Wonder Years, " and that could have plagued the public's openmindedness towards taking him seriously as a major jazz talent, rather than just a cute novelty. Fortunately, deep talent has won out and the prodigy, now a teenager, has bloomed into a multi-faceted composer/performer. A true product of the 90's, he not only named his shift towards contemporary pop/funk oriented jazz after an internet term (Point of Presence being the point from which one leaps onto the world wide web), but he's sharp enough to figure out that he's bound to gain a larger audience by stretching beyond his straight ahead beginnings. Guitarist Chuck Loeb is the perfect producer to bring out Salvatore's more pop-rock oriented leanings, which find Salvatore's lovely piano more along the lines of David Benoit than Chick Corea. Though jams like "Out of Nowhere" hold ...

| | Goofus Five 1924-25 CD (2002)
Autobiography
$13.79
As the 1990s drew to a close, Timeless Historical reissued a large number of recordings from the '20s and '30s by musicians both legendary and obscure, in a series coordinated by seasoned specialists Chris Barber, John R.T. Davies, and Brian Rust. One fascinating aspect of this label's catalog is an interconnected web of bands that all lead back to the California Ramblers, a Midwestern group which was among the most prolific studio ensembles of the '20s. While the full-sized Ramblers recorded for various labels as the Golden Gate Orchestra, the Varsity Eight, the University Six, and the Vagabonds, a scaled-down version of the band made records for Columbia as the Little Ramblers, for Pathe as the Five Birmingham Babies, and for Okeh, Odeon, and Parlophone as the Goofus Five. The instrument that gave the latter group its name was patented in France as a saxophone jouet or toy; it became known throughout Europe as the couesnophone; in England as the queenophone, and in the U.S. as the goofus. Shaped like a little sax, this free reed instrument emitted a sound similar to the mouth organ or the Hohner melodica. It was cousin to several 19th century hybrid instruments including the oboe-like harmonicor and the piston-keyed, cornet-shaped harmonitrompe. The keys of the goofus were laid out like two parallel keyboards, with one set generating tones corresponding to the C major scale and the other a series of sharps and flats. A rubber tube was provided so that the goofus could be laid on its side and played like a toy piano while the operator blew into it through the hose. The only person wacky, daring, and inventive enough to incorporate this contraption into the early jazz ensemble appears to have been multi-instrumentalist Adrian Rollini, who confined himself to the goofus on the first four tracks heard on this collection ...
