| | Derrick Gardner & the Jazz Prop Ride To The Other Side... CD Derrick Gardner & the Jazz Prop Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
Many jazz fans maintain that, when it came to hot-cooking, hard-swinging hard bop, few bands could equal assorted editions of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. Apparently, trumpeter Derrick Gardner can be counted among those fans, as RIDE TO THE OTHER SIDE is virtually a tribute to Blakey in all but name. RIDE recalls those editions of the Messengers when trumpeters Freddie Hubbard and Wynton Marsalis were members--Gardner has a searing, rippling, crackling sound like Hubbard in his mid-1960s Blue Note days. Evoking the best of Blakey (and Frank Foster and pre-funk Donald Byrd), RIDE is vibrant hard-bop featuring catchy, moody melodies, with subtle overtones of funk and afro-Cuban motifs to spice things up.
Personnel: Rob Dixon (tenor saxophone); Derrick Gardner (trumpet); Vincent Gardner (trombone); Anthony Wonsey (piano); Rodney Whitaker (upright bass); Donald Edwards (drums); Kevin Kaiser (percussion).
Down Beat (p.88) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The Prophets are tight....The rhythms section locks in the pocket, the band executes the charts precisely and every solo is strong."
JazzTimes (p.63) - "Bright, robust, assertively swinging solos from the horns and the brawny piano of Anthony Wonsey would be enough to recommend this CD as a worthy straightahead jazz endeavor. But what makes it better than average is the high quality of the fresh material..." Ride To The Other Side... Music Derrick Gardner & the Jazz Prop Ride To The Other Side...

| | Bill Cunliffe The Blues And The Abstract Truth, Take 2 CD (2008) Digipak
Ride To The Other Side... album
$13.39
Bill Cunliffe was invited to do an updated arrangement of Oliver Nelson's landmark album Blues and the Abstract Truth, a tough challenge, given Nelson's superb charts and the numerous all-stars he had on the 1961 session (pianist Bill Evans, alto saxophonist/flautist Eric Dolphy, and trumpeter Freddie Hubbard in the front line). But the pianist tweaked each of the pieces just a bit, altered some of the instrumentation (a trombone replaces baritone sax, while soprano sax is added on some tracks), while also making subtle rhythmic changes at times. "Stolen Moments" has long since become a jazz standard and it is tough to measure up to Nelson's second version (he scored an earlier one for a big band led by Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis), since Dolphy (on flute), Evans and Nelson laid down such superb solos. But Andy Martin's ...

How many musical artists today can sing and song write in three languages -- fluently, have four-octave ranges, are expert pianists, and dedicate their lives to serving the world through music? He sings with the tenderness of a soul crooner, and in the same breath, with incredible agility and freedom. Kenny Wesley is the young new face of contemporary and jazz music."Kenny's tenor is Hathaway deep, Luther warm and, in terms of color, could only be described as golden.

Game Six is the Olympia, Washington-based acoustic duo of Rob Morgan HIll and Derek Harris, whose album "God, Love & Mexico" on Exit 104 Records is slated for release in March of 2009.Mixing a country music base with spiritual themes and twists of tropical, folk, rock, Latin and jazz sounds, Game Six has come to call their music "country-slash" because, as songwriter Hill says, "There's at least a little bit of country in everything we do, but there's almost always a slash before or after the country." Adds singer Harris, "A country music purist might not even think of us as country at all, but the same could be said about a lot of modern country artists that have influenced ...
