As the leader of Graham Central Station, Larry Graham was responsible for some of the nastiest, grittiest, most gutbucket funk of the 1970s. But when he launched a solo career with 1980s One in a Million You, the singer/electric bassist surprised the R&B world by emphasizing ballads. And if anyone doubted that Graham's fans wanted to hear him doing a lot of romantic crooning, their fears were put to rest when this LP's sentimental title song became a major hit and Warner Bros. successfully released Graham's remake of "When We Get Married" (previously recorded by the Dreamlovers and the Intruders) as the follow-up single. This isn't to say that One in a Million You is devoid of up-tempo material; one of the best things on the album is the very danceable and infectious "I Just Can't Stop Dancing." Nonetheless, the LP is best-known for its ballads. "I Just Can't Stop Dancing" was meant to recall "Dance to the Music," a Sly & the Family Stone smash that Graham had played on in the late '60s -- although the song is equally mindful of 1960s Motown and has an appealing personality of its own. Less impressive is "I'm So Glad It's Summer Again," which is nothing more than a poor man's "Hot Fun in the Summertime." But this album's strengths by far outweigh its weaknesses, and One in a Million You is enthusiastically recommended to R&B lovers. ~ Alex Henderson

One of contemporary jazz's most diverse and dynamic performers over the past two decades, Tony Guerrero has amassed a dizzyingly eclectic résumé since breaking onto the scene as a solo artist with his first three independent releases in the late '80s and early '90s, Tiara, Different Places, and Another Day, Another Dream. With the release of his highly anticipated Native Language Music debut, Apasionado, the multi-talented flügelhornist, trumpeter, keyboardist, composer, and producer celebrates not only 20 years as a recording artist, but also his lifelong affinity for the music of his Mexican-Italian heritage as well as Brazilian samba and bossa nova.

Born and raised in New York's own Boogie Down Bronx, Jason "Flight", a.k.a. JaeFlow, is not your everyday aspiring Hip Hop artist, nahhh- the man does it all! Writes lyrics. songs, models, and you may even catch him bangin' a slam dunk on a neighborhood court near you. That's right, this brother from Parkchester, N.Y. has been an entertainer at a very young age. "As a child, I was always into entertainment." Jae quotes. "In elementary, I always stood out as the class clown. I would be buggin' out in class, by acting out each character's voice, while reading school plays of different eras and stuff. And you know, I always got into a lot of trouble but it didn't matter to me because I knew I had everyone's attention when I spoke." Then soon after, at the age of 11, Jason found the culture of Hip Hop booming all over his neighborhood and could not help but to listen to the likes of Big Daddy Kane, LL Cool J, and DeLa Soul. Jason proceeds, "Then one day, instead of just listening to their rhymes on the stereo, I started writing my own' cuz I did not want to be just a fan, I wanted to be an artist myself!" Hence the birth of J.A.E.F.L.O.W.-" Just Anotha Ethnic Forever Living Off Wisdom." Having graduated from the College of Mount Saint Vincent with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology; Education Counseling, and after being dubbed "Jae-Flight" for being one of the most unorthodoxed b-ballers in school, he promised his parents to finish school before pursuing his music career at full throttle. But no matter how much research ...

The highlights are many. A devastating acoustic demo of the OH MERCY stand-out "Most of the Time" rescues the song from Daniel Lanois's overweaning production on the original. "Red River Shore" and "Marchin' to the City"--cut from the final sequence of TIME OUT OF MIND--smolder. Two vastly different alternate versions of both the OH MERCY-era single "Dignity" and LOVE AND THEFT's "Mississippi" reveal the degree to which Dylan plumbs a song's performative possibilities. Still restless, still aching, still remarkable, TELL TALE SIGNS is yet another revelation in a ...
