There are some people in the jazz world who just plain don't understand subtlety. That's why trumpeters Miles Davis and Chet Baker received a lot of negative reviews from critics who couldn't figure out why they didn't sound more like Fats Navarro; it's why Paul Desmond was criticized for not playing his alto aggressively à la Phil Woods or Jackie McLean. But being subtle does not mean being unexpressive, and vocalist Kate McGarry is both subtle and expressive on The Target. This 2007 release is not an example of forceful jazz singing; McGarry is not a brassy, belting, R&B-ish type of jazz singer. Not that there is anything wrong with being a brassy, belting, R&B-ish type of jazz singer -- that approach has been great for Ernestine Anderson, but it isn't where McGarry is coming from on her introspective performances of "The Meaning of the Blues," "The Lamp Is Low" and other standards. McGarry is someone who thrives on restraint and delicacy -- even on Betty Carter's "Do Something" -- but she never has a problem getting her points across emotionally. Unfortunately, the warhorse factor is too high on this 55-minute CD; did we really need to hear yet another version of "It Might as Well Be Spring," for example? But McGarry also turns her attention to Sting's "Sister Moon" and does so with pleasing results, reminding us that good things can happen when jazz vocalists are open to interpreting material from the pop/rock world. The Target isn't a five-star masterpiece, but it is an enjoyable disc that consistently underscores the value of subtlety and understatement. ~ Alex Henderson

Arrangers: Kate McGarry; Keith Ganz.

Personnel: Kate McGarry (vocals); Kate McGarry; Keith Ganz (vocals, guitar, guitars); Reuben Rogers (vocals, bass instrument); Theo Bleckmann (loops); Gary Versace (vocals, accordion, piano, organ); Donny McCaslin (vocals, tenor saxophone); Gregory Hutchinson (vocals, drums).

Recording information: Maggie's Farm, Buck's County, PA.

Down Beat (p.70) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "McGarry has the pure, untrammeled voice of an ingenue who finds wonder in the simplest things. She loves slow tempos..."
JazzTimes (p.112) - "[T]he wishful dreaminess of 'It Might as Well Be Spring' is gorgeously evoked with whispered sanguinity, and the ebullient bounce of 'Nobody Else But Me' is heightened by McGarry's cleverly gentle approach."

Ted Brown Free Spirit CD  (1989)

Target album
CD $14.55  Audio Samples
A veteran tenor saxophonist who gained early recognition for his work with the Lennie Tristano school, Ted Brown has remained fairly obscure despite his consistent creativity. This superior trio set with the great bebop pianist Hod O'Brien and bassist Jacques Schols, features Brown at the top of his form. Other than his own "Smog Eyes" and the lesser-known "Trane's Slo Blues," all of the tunes are familiar bebop standards, but Brown, ...

Freddy Cole To The Ends Of The Earth CD  (1997)

Target CD music
CD $12.65  Audio Samples
It's hardly a criticism of Freddy Cole to say that he sounds almost eerily like big brother Nat. They share an unmistakable vocal timbre that can only be attributed to incredibly fortunate genes. This 1997 Fantasy album is one of his best. A swinging collection of standards delivered with elegance, emotion, and a mature confidence. Few singers know their way around an old tune like Cole. An outstanding pianist (again like his brother), Cole bows out on the keyboards on all but one tune here ...
Rhythm Of Life
James Mason Rhythm Of Life CD  (1977) (Import)

Target music CDs
CD $17.79
UK reissue of the classic funk album from the Roy Ayers' guitarist. Featuring the in-demand track, 'Sweet Power Of Your Embrace'. Originally released in 1977. Soul Brother Records. Jazz-funk fans, believe the hype: James Mason's Rhythm of Life is every bit the overlooked classic its small but fanatical cult following has built it up to be. Smoothly soulful (but not slick) and spiritually uplifting throughout, the album's blend of funky fusion and progressive R&B is hardly the stuff purist dreams are made of, but anyone who loves the deep grooves of Donald Byrd or Mason's former employer, Roy Ayers, will immediately understand why this is considered a masterpiece in acid jazz circles. Breezy ballads and ferocious up-tempo groovers alike benefit from Mason's sure sense of songcraft and his knack for full-bodied arrangements. Mason plays all the guitars and loads of vintage synths (two different ARPs and Fender Rhodes electric piano among them), so he's largely responsible for the instrumental meat of every track. And though he's a strong soloist when he chooses, his focus is more on creating luxurious textures and working the grooves. And work them he does -- the faster tracks are amazingly driving for ...

Holy La
Steve Lacy Holy La CD  (2003)

Target songs
CD $13.85  4 stars Audio Samples
The holy "la" of Steve Lacy's title for The Holy la refers to A, the note most musicians tune to. This 1998 trio date -- with two guest vocals by Lacy's wife and musical collaborator, Irene Aebi -- is a kind of summation and statement of progress on the journey of compositional and improvisational progress; it is an entry in the diary of this particular trio. Lacy has worked with drummer John Betsch and bassist Jean-Jacques Avenel in one form or another for 30 years. The manner in which they play these old nuggets in their book is no less exciting or vital than when these pieces were first unveiled. Some of them, such as "The Wane," go back to the Vietnam War era. And "Flakes," from 1971, is one of the first pieces the trio learned to play together. Most importantly, these works, whether they are the title track, Monk's "Shuffle Boil," or "Inside My Head," with lyrics by Robert Creeley, are difficult, knotty pieces with many changes in pitch and rhythm, yet instead of worrying about the "perfect" execution of a composition, this band moves all through and around Lacy's work. People and places are visited in the hearts of these compositions, ...
