Taking on the rollicking soul and R&B of saxophonist Junior Walker seems an unlikely project for a jazz experimentalist like clarinetist Don Byron, but Byron rarely does the expected. Whether talking on klezmer, funk, or the tunes of Thelonious Monk, Byron's eclecticism and taste for adventure are his guiding lights. Such is the case with DO THE BOOMERANG: THE MUSIC OF JUNIOR WALKER. The stellar band features electric guitar, Hammond B-3, and a lock-step rhythm section, in addition to guests that include bluesmen Chris Thomas King and Dean Bowman (who both contribute vocals). Unlike previous Byron projects, the music rarely ranges too far out, but that's not to say the session is traditional. Instead, funky grooves dominate with an emphasis on wild, modern arrangements that could only have come from the mind of Byron.
Personnel: Don Byron (clarinet, bass clarinet, tenor saxophone); Chris Thomas King (vocals, guitar); Dean Bowman (vocals); David Gilmore (guitar); Curtis Fowlkes (trombone); George Colligan (Hammond b-3 organ); Brad Jones (bass instrument); Rodney Holmes (drums, tambourine).
JazzTimes (p.64) - "Byron's prowess on the tenor sax may attract the attention...but it is his tight band that keeps things burning." Vibe (p.172) - "There's some good hard stuff here....Dean Bowman and Chris Thomas King supply soulful vocals, and David Gilmore tosses off one smart guitar solo after another."

Purchase Do The Boomerang CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Shirley Horn I Remember Miles CD (1998)
Do The Boomerang album
$12.39 I REMEMBER MILES won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Performance.
This stunning album is Shirley Horn's loving tribute to her friend and colleague, the legendary late Miles Davis. Davis was so taken by Horn's first album EMBERS AND ASHES that he forced The Village Vanguard to let her virtually-unknown trio open for him during his 1961 run there. Their friendship and admiration for each other's music lasted through the years, and Shirley Horn's 1991 recording YOU WON'T FORGET ME, was one of the last recordings Miles Davis made.
Horn selected mostly ballads from Davis' Columbia Records catalogue for her tribute because, as she explains in the liner notes, Davis liked her to sing ballads, and ballads are Horn's specialty. She can slow down ...
| | Dave Holland Overtime CD (2005)
Do The Boomerang CD music
$13.49 This exceptional date by Dave Holland Big Band was recorded in 2002 in New York, yet remained unreleased until 2005. As is to be expected, Holland assembled a fine cast of seasoned and young players, some of whom are veterans of Holland's quintets and quartets. These are four saxophones -- two alto, tenor and baritone -- three trumpets and trombones, and vibes as well as bass and drums. They include Chris Potter and Robin and Duane Eubanks, Antonio Hart, Steve Nelson, Josh Roseman, Billy Kilson, Taylor Haskins, Gary Smulyan, Jonathan Arons and Alex Sipiagin. The music centers around the opening four-part "Monterey Suite," a tour de force ...
| | Miles Davis Cellar Door Sessions 1970 CDs (2005) Remastered; Box Set; Special Edition
Do The Boomerang music CDs
$87.89 Contains previously unreleased material. Some of the recordings on the CELLAR DOOR SESSIONS were originally released in edited form on the 1971 double-LP LIVE EVIL.
There is an entire universe contained in this box. Sumptuously packaged and scrupulously annotated, CELLAR DOOR SESSIONS 1970 is a six-disc set that documents Miles Davis's extended residency at the Washington, D.C., club. Davis is backed by a group of genius musicians: keyboardist Keith Jarrett, drummer Jack DeJohnette, bassist Michael Henderson, saxophonist Gary Bartz, percussionist Airto Moreira and guitarist John McLaughlin (who appears only on the last two discs). Together they pioneered an ecstatic fusion of jazz, rock, funk, and abstract sound-painting that established the blueprint ...
| | Thelonious Monk At Carnegie Hall CD (2005)
Do The Boomerang songs
$13.75 On paper it seems as if such titanic and distinctive musical personalities as Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane might not mix very well, but this stellar set, recorded live at Carnegie Hall in 1957, plays almost like a blissful extended duet between the two (with support from a sensitive yet hard-swinging bassist and drummer). ...
| | Dave Holland Critical Mass CD (2006)
Do The Boomerang album
$14.19 One word that comes to mind when listening to Critical Mass is generosity. Double-bassist Dave Holland, four decades into his career, could certainly be forgiven for taking the word "leader" at its literal meaning, calling all the shots and keeping his musicians at bay. But that's not what he's about, and at any given time Critical Mass could just as easily have been credited to saxist Chris Potter, trombonist Robin Eubanks, vibist/marimbaist Steve Nelson, or drummer Nate Smith. Each player is provided with ample moments in which to take charge, and not fleeting, gratuitous moments but rather significant chunks of solo/lead space. Holland's belief in sharing extends to the area of composition as well. Each bandmember contributes one piece to the album (Holland does claim the other four, however) and, more often than not, uses that opportunity to shapeshift, ...
