In a sense, 2009's Everybody Dance! is the coming-out party for longtime gospel producer James Roberson. Often seen behind the boards for the likes of inspirational luminaries from Beverly Crawford to Norman Hutchins, Roberson steps to the mike on his own debut and proves himself a dervish of a musical preacher. The song choice tends toward the modern (befitting the record's overall feel) and includes standouts by many of the greats of soul-gospel, from the Winans to Malcolm Speed. The title track and opening single, a fevered number melding club emotion with organ riffs and testimonial refrains, gives ample hint to the rest of the album; Everybody Dance! shows a devotional touch as well as a desire for musical exploration, but mostly it's just simply impassioned. ~ Jason Thurston

| | Mike Clark Blueprints Of Jazz Vol.1 CD (2008) Digipak
Everybody Dance!
$11.99 Personnel: Mike Clark (drums, drum); Donald Harrison (alto, alto saxophone); Jed Levy (tenor, tenor saxophone); Christian Scott (trumpet); Patrice Rushen (piano); Christian McBride (bass instrument, upright bass). Audio Mixer: Justin Lieberman. Liner Note Author: Mike Clark . Recording information: Talking House Productions (05/14/2006/05/15/2006). Drummer Mike Clark has run the gamut of grist-of-the-mill modern jazz and funk on a handful of recordings, best represented on his 1989 Stash CD, Give the Drummer Some. This album exceeds all his previous dates with regard to the vitality of this music, the high-level musicianship of all the players, and the fact that Clark happily wears his influences on his sleeve. You hear clear references to Philly Joe Jones, Art Blakey, Max Roach, and Elvin Jones in his playing, while stylistically Joe Henderson and Woody Shaw come to mind. The result is retro hard bop made current by the ferocious playing of the band, which includes alto saxophonist Donald Harrison, trumpeter Christian Scott, and bassist Christian McBride. Earning high honors are tenor saxophonist and composer Jed Levy and especially pianist Patrice Rushen, who emerges from the shadows of her commercially oriented life to provide a truly stellar, inspired, and driven performance on acoustic piano. The CD kicks off with two outstanding pieces, both penned by Levy, and never lets up until the end. "In the House" is hard bop personified à la McCoy Tyner, ...
| | Blueprints Of Jazz, Vol. 2 CD (2008) Digipak
Everybody Dance!
$11.99 Personnel: Billy Harper (tenor saxophone); Amiri Baraka (spoken vocals); Charles McNeal (alto saxophone); Keyon Harrold (trumpet, French horn); Francesca Tanksley (piano); Aaron Scott (drums, percussion). Audio Mixer: Justin Lieberman. Liner Note Author: Billy Harper. Recording information: 08/08/2006-08/10/2006. Photographer: Bryan C. Wiley. Billy Harper is a Lone Star state heavyweight, a Texas tenor saxophonist with a massive tone and a fiery, cathartic approach descended from John Coltrane. Harper honed his abilities with Gil Evans, Thad Jones/Mel Lewis, and Art Blakey, and BLUEPRINTS OF JAZZ displays what he learned in each of those contexts. While many of his tunes are of a wild-and-woolly nature, this set is not a free-for-all. Harper's exhilarating originals have structure and layers, as if his sextet were a big band, and they embrace many aspects of the jazz tradition, including swing, bebop, the blues, and Trane-era modality. A long time between recording dates (eight years since his Metropolitan label release Soul of an Angel), many might have wondered what happened to the firebrand tenor saxophonist Billy Harper. But here he is in all his power and glory, playing the progressive jazz and clarion warrior calls that have distinguished him as an individualist, and a performer whose sound is instantly recognizable. The soulful cry, constant flow of ideas, and slightly tart sound has held Harper ...

| | Malachi Thompson Jazz Life CD (1991) Reissue
Everybody Dance!
$9.85 Trumpeter Malachi Thompson used the unconventional spelling, Jaz, to distinguish real jazz from "smooth jazz". This 1991 recording was one of Thompson's most exciting CDs and features Carter Jefferson, tenor sax; Joe Ford, alto and soprano sax; Kirk Brow
Personnel includes: Malachi Thompson (trumpet), Carter Jefferson, Joe Ford. Personnel: Malachi Thompson (trumpet); Joe Ford (soprano saxophone, alto saxophone); Carter Jefferson (tenor saxophone); Kirk Brown (piano); Nasar Abadey (drums); Richard Lawrence (congas). Recording information: Paul Serrano Recording (06/30/1991). Photographers: Michael Wilderman; Ted Gray. On his second CD for Delmark, trumpeter Malachi Thompson's surrounds himself with powerful sidemen, while emphasizing that the "jaz" life (one z purposefully left off) is a struggle to overcome and to thrive in the midst of obstacles. Saxophonists Carter Jefferson and Joe Ford contribute mightily; pianist Kirk Brown and bassist Harrison Bankhead play inside and out with equal aplomb; while rhythm navigators, drummer Nasar Abadey and percussionist Richard Lawrence, keep things potent and swinging. These six compositions are life-affirming acknowledgments to such important icons as John Coltrane, Art Blakey, Miles Davis, who have inspired Thompson during his struggle with a rare lymphomatic cancer. A Thompson original, "In Walked John," starts the CD off with a rippling Wayne Shorter/Lee Morgan-esque melody wed to a well swung Louis Jordan R&B beat. The Trane-like "Cousin Mary" features Jefferson's dusky tenor sax solo and Brown's McCoy Tyner-esque piano. Meanwhile, "Mystic Trumpet Man," is thoroughly modern with soulful yet spiritual nuances, and more Chi-town injections. Thompson really hits the note consistently with this band of modern mainstream jazz masters performing at their best--recommended. Trumpeter Thompson's second CD for Delmark has the leader surrounding himself with powerful sidemen and tributes to heroes, while emphasizing that the "jaz" life (one z purposefully left off) is a struggle to be overcome and to thrive in the midst of. Saxophonists Carter Jefferson and Joe Ford contribute mightily, as they have to projects by Woody Shaw and McCoy Tyner, respectively. Pianist Kirk Brown and bassist Harrison Bankhead play inside and out with equal aplomb, while rhythm navigators like drummer Nasar Abadey and percussionist Richard Lawrence keep things potent and swinging. These six compositions are not only life-affirming, but acknowledgments to such important icons as John Coltrane, Art Blakey, Miles Davis, and some of their important sidemen, who have inspired Thompson during his struggle with a rare lymphomatic cancer. "In Walked John" starts the CD off, an original of the leader with a rippling Wayne Shorter-Lee Morgan melody wed to a well swung Louis Jordan R&B beat. Trane-like "Cousin Mary" inferences are tacked onto Jefferson's dusky tenor sax solo and Brown's McCoy Tyner-esque piano. Another penned by Thompson, this time for the "Mystic Trumpet Man" Davis, is a thoroughly modern chart with soulful yet spiritual nuances, and more Chi-town soul flavor injections. "Lucky Seven," a 12-minute composition, has modal, repeated piano chords with horns as an intro, a piano trio workout for the indefatigable Brown, ...
