I first saw John Clayton ata tribute for Ray Brown, and then heard a cut of this cd on KCSM at 5:30 am and tracked it down. Worth the hunt.

I've been a Clayton Brothers fan since the release of Music which I think is their signature CD. This CD equals and surpasses the Music. This is one of the best jazz releases I've enjoyed in a while. The connection between the Clayton's, Hamilton and Cunliffe is amazing. I've waited a while for this one. Outstanding performance.

5 stars Clayton Brothers prove Jazz is NOT dead!!
From Gina's Groove on ... this is serious jazz... the combination of John Clayton.. Jeff Clayton.. and Jeff Hamilton are cohesive as a unit... but it is the solo prowess with John.. brother Jeff and terell stafford (guest trumpet) that blew me away. If I were going to introduce you to 'bop' as it is played today, in 2005, I would give you this record THEN play some tracks from the Ray Brown Trio and you would 'get it'... Cunliffe is masterful on the piano... this album is a complete package for the jazz 'ear'...

Phil Woods American Songbook CD (2006)

Back In The Swing Of Things

$14.35

Phil Woods, the great American saxophonist, has been featured in more diverse settings than almost anyone in the history of the music. His constant challenging of himself as a player, bandleader, and composer has been admirable since his debut set as a leader. While standards sets these days are not only a dime a dozen but mostly cop-outs from established artists and newcomers who either lost or never had the chops to execute them with any aesthetic imprint, let alone the one they deserve, septuagenarian Woods breathes life into ten of these tunes, and reinvents them both as harmonic structures and as tools for swing. With trumpeter Brian Lynch, pianist Bill Charlap (a fine leader in his own right), bassist Steve Gilmore, and Billy Goodwin on drums, ...

Bill Cunliffe was invited to do an updated arrangement of Oliver Nelson's landmark album Blues and the Abstract Truth, a tough challenge, given Nelson's superb charts and the numerous all-stars he had on the 1961 session (pianist Bill Evans, alto saxophonist/flautist Eric Dolphy, and trumpeter Freddie Hubbard in the front line). But the pianist tweaked each of ...

Chieli Minucci Sweet On You CD (2000)

Back In The Swing Of Things

$14.45

Just as Ed Hamilton played it cool and safe when he signed on with Shanachie for Groovology, Chieli Minucci's solo debut for the label features a bit less edge, a bit more pop, and much more of a kick back vibe than his early solo efforts for JVC. It's not that Sweet on You lacks adventure; it's simply a more in the pocket variety. Whereas in the past, he might wow us with wacky multi-movement jam sessions, on tunes like "Hot 100" he opens with an hypnotic, swaying atmosphere, then bursts into a staccato melody featuring muted electric guitar, synth vibes, and horns over a punchy live percussion pattern. The middle of the track features some easy improvisation over a drifting atmosphere featuring a subtle blues keyboard harmony. While past albums featured elongated spiritual passages loaded with space, Minucci's equivalent here is "Breaking Away," which features a gently soaring duet with pianist Jay Rowe that smacks of the Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays approach over a subtle locomotive throb. Minucci also mines wah-wah inflected retro-soul turf on "Around the World," and hits smooth jazz pay dirt on the very Special EFX like "Endless Summer," and the Brazilian tinged title cut, whose easy wordless vocals by Rosanna Vitro make it sound like a classic Joyce Cooling cut. ~ Jonathan Widran MusiciansChieli Minucci.......Pensa-Suhr and Hohner electric guitars, Scharpach acoustic guitar, Gibson 1970 SG electric guitar, Orozco classical guitar, Gibson Chet Atkins electric/acoustic guitar, Ovation 12-string acoustic guitar, keyboards, programmingDavid Mann.......soprano and tenor saxophones, fluteJerry Brooks....bassFernando Saunders.....fretless bass on “Farewell”Gerald Albright.....soprano sax on “Endless Summer”Philip Hamilton.......percussion, vocalsDavid Charles...... percussionArmsted Christian.....vocalsRosanna Vitro.....vocal on “Sweet On You”Stan Harrison...... alto sax on “Hot 100” & “Little Squirt”Lenny Pickett...... tenor sax on “Hot 100” & “Little Squirt”Barry Danielian.......trumpet on “Hot 100” & “Little Squirt”Jay Rowe..... acoustic grand piano on “Breaking Away”Werner “Vana” Gierig..... acoustic grand piano on “Around ...
