$14.29 The bluesy, distinctively hefty tenor sound of saxophonist David "Fathead" Newman has graced many recordings by many artists, but playing with Ray Charles during the 1950s and '60s is where he made a name for himself. Since then, Newman recorded numerous albums on his own, some leaning ...

| | Grant Green Live At Club Mozambique CD (2006)
The Godfathers of Groove songs
$10.15 Live at Club Mozambique was, according to Bob Belden's liner notes, rumored to exist for decades in Blue Note's Grant Green discography, but was never released. His explanation as to why is satisfactory -- Green's star had waned considerably -- and makes some sense, but the label had 15 unissued albums by the guitarist by 1971. This date recorded at the famed Detroit jazz club (Green was living in the city at the time) is the second such set of grooves to be issued from the club floor -- Lonnie Smith's was the first. The band consists of Idris Muhammad, Ronnie Foster, Houston Person, and the all but unknown Clarence Thomas, and the two tenor saxophonists (Thomas also played soprano here) laid out heavy, deep funk on the tunes that were chosen. Foster and Muhammad were symbiotic as a rhythm section. Foster's grooving under-the-cover basslines matched the soul groove style of Muhammad. They locked onto Green and couldn't be shaken loose. Obviously created for an inner-city audience and the jukebox crowd, this set was recorded a scant five months after Alive!, but bites a lot harder. The tunes include a simmering read of the Clarence Carter vehicle "Patches" with Green stretching the melody to the breaking point, and the horn section fills egg him on. "One More Chance" was written by the Corporation (the Mizell Brothers) and recorded by the Jackson 5. ...
| | Eric Alexander Lineup CD (2006)
The Godfathers of Groove album
$13.75 For One for All, a top-notch all-star hard bop sextet, The Lineup is their 11th album. Returning to their original label, Sharp Nine, the group's basic sound is unchanged from when it was formed in 1997, being very much in the style of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers without sounding overly derivative. Four of the group's musicians contributed seven of the eight selections to this program, all but the standard "Sweet and Lovely." Alternating medium-tempo romps with ballads, each performance features high-quality solos, clean ensembles, and hard swinging. This is no-nonsense modern straight-ahead jazz played by ...

The Godfathers of Groove album
$15.09 Like spandex pants, pyrotechnics, and concept records, the power ballad is as essential to a proper hard-rockin' band as a mid-concert guitar or drum solo. Giving the band a moment to show its sensitive side was just as important as the hardest song on the album, striking a balance and making the music accessible to those who like a little love in their rock. A time-honored ...
