Coolidge II. "It can change a mood with it's slightest touch, it whisks away cares, brings people together, and brings joy to our hearts."Ask anyone who knows Cal and there's little doubt that his music leaves a lasting impression."His compositions are prime...he does great work" are just a few of the good things people say about his music. A guitarist, pianist and synthesist his attraction to music spurred him to earn his degree in music. Today he writes Jazz, Pop, Folk, Rock, New Age, Electronic, World, Urban, Classical, Chant, and Blues.It is because of this diversity that listeners are often surprised to learn that it is one and the same person on his different recordings. "I consider it a high compliment when people tell me that they didn't even know it was me (playing and composing) on different pieces," says Cal. Compare the ensemble, guitar centered SECONDS to the multi-textured CLUB TIAJ and you'll know what we mean!Fans agree. "Both recordings are excellent musically and demonstrate his expertise not only as a player but also as a writer," as one critic put it. "After I heard SECONDS, I expected CLUB TIAJ to be something similar. It isn't. I'm quite impressed! I must have listened to CLUB TIAJ at least 20 times in disbelief that it really came from the same person." Another observer says, "A lot of musicians are really good at playing in their one style. But if you ask them to play out of that style, they get lost. Cal is not like that.""As a guitarist, I've heard him easily go from Folk to Rock to Country to Blues without skipping a beat. Then to hear his symphonic arrangements...well, you have to hear it to believe it!" says another."Rare is a musician who is so well versed in many different styles. Not many can do that! And you never hear him play the same thing twice!""Composing music is like acting," adds Cal. "The objective of a great actor is to play their roles so convincing that the audience is unaware that it is this same actor who is playing another different role. I think this can be done with music too."His first CD, an intimate recording, Clear Dream Day, showcases his spontaneous compositional skills as these light-spirited solo guitar compositions were recorded on the spot as they were being created.His second CD, aptly titled SECONDS, adds top musicians from both the West and the East coasts to his masterful guitar playing and his strong musical compositions. SECONDS is often described as "intelligent instrumental soft rock backed up by a smooth jazz ensemble" and shows his ability to effortlessly weave Rock, Folk, New Age, Classical, and Jazz elements into one smooth recording. Several of his fans have told him that they keep this CD in their car players permanently - and no wonder. ...
| | Rob Howard Zeitgeber CD (2004)
Blue Illusions CD music
$9.59
From both the compositional pen and amplified guitar of Paragon founder Rob Howard comes Zeitgeber, Rob's first album recorded under his own name. Fans of Paragon's music will love this album, as it has all the hard rock bite and jazz inflections that his music with Paragon has always had, yet this album finds the composer/performer able to display material that is deeply personal and at times even introspective (yet introspection for Rob still means peeling the enamel off your teeth with powerful Zeppelin-esque riffs!)Kicking off the album is "Who Mourns For Adonis", and the allusion to mythology is well placed as this track clocks in at an epic twenty minutes in length! Rob states:"What I wanted to do was a sort of jazz-rock 'rondo' with a melody that kept coming back, with episodes that seperated the main sections. It also gave me a chance to have some totally different moods in the same performance. The first bit is orchestral, whereas the second part was directly inspired by the Miles Davis Album 'A Tribute to Jack Johnson'. It was very difficult to record because my friends and I believe in recording stuff live in the studio, no overdubbing, and a work of this length makes that difficult as performing a few takes can take several hours!"The friends that Rob mentions are many of his Paragon band-mates, which include Matt Baumann on tenor sax. Baumann displays much of the searching, exploratory style he uses in Paragon live shows, utilizing a large pallete of creative sounds. In particular, his Joe Henderson influenced octave and unison note riffs in 'Adonis' help give the composition a sense of deep groove.Speaking of deep groove, Jason Gahler returns to handle the bass duties on this outing. Although fans of Paragon are already aware of his vocabulary of outrageously hip basslines, he gets a chance to show his skills in group interaction. On "The Big Hello", Jason engages Rob's eastern influenced soloing and effectively creates a sense of counterpoint. Jason has played with Rob for a long time, since they were both freshman in college, and it's clear that Jason knows all of Rob's licks!Rob also brought to other gifted young musicians on board as well, outside of the Paragon group. Elijah Vazquez, a brilliant drummer who had played with some of the hippest cats in the NW Ohio jazz scene sits in the drummer's chair for tracks 2-6. Listen for his adroit use of the snare drum, which sometimes acts like rocket fuel for the soloists and compositions. Sometimes its a well timed single snare drum crackle, others it's the light rat-a-tat-tat of the stick bouncing off the drum. Matt Skitzki played keys on the album, and Rob certainly salutes him for putting up with allowing his keyboard sounds to be drastically altered from the original state! He also plays a melodic solo on "In Theory", with hummable ideas that one remembers long after the next track plays from the CD player. Mr. Skitzki is also a trained classical pianist, and his touch is very evident on Rob's Erik Satie homage, "Memories of Michelle" and even on the final track, "The Big Goodbye". Seann Flynn was a late addition to the album, ...
