Paul Brown White Sand CD (2007)

In Joy album

$11.25

Smooth jazz producer, arranger, and songwriter Paul Brown made the transition to recording artist with 2004's Up Front, which, like its successor, 2005's The City, was a Top Ten hit on the Contemporary Jazz chart. With a switch from GRP to Peak Records, Brown should continue his popular ways with his third solo album White Sand. He has enlisted more guests than usual this time, to the point that the disc is practically one of those "and friends" duets collections. Al Jarreau sings on "Make Me Feel So Good," Bobby Caldwell on a cover of "Mercy Mercy Mercy," and Lina on a cover of "I Say a Little Prayer." Among the star instrumentalists, Boney James is heard on "Ol' Skoolin'," David Benoit on "R 'n' B Bump," Euge Groove on "More or Less Paul," Rick Braun on "Mr. Cool," and saxophone newcomer Jessy J on the title track. The guests simply augment the contributions of the leader, however; Brown's guitar is a dominant instrument, and he has a vocal on a cover of "For What It's Worth." As the familiar titles indicate, he has taken inspiration from the '60s, but his rhythm tracks often have a current hip-hop sound, and the well-known lyrics and melodies will only serve to make the album more palatable for radio. Brown isn't interested in making any changes to smooth jazz except the occasional tweak to keep it sounding current, and this is another album that will please his own fans, and fans of the guest artists (whose discs were sometimes produced by him). ~ William Ruhlmann Recording ...

Eric Marienthal Just Around The Corner CD (2007)

In Joy CD music

$11.29

When heard with Chick Corea's Elektric Band or as a sideman in more straight-ahead settings, Eric Marienthal consistently proves that he is a technically skilled and creative jazz altoist. On his own recordings Marienthal is content to play music that is clearly geared toward smooth radio and romantic backgrounds, and Just Around the Corner has the altoist in the forefront throughout a set of predictable instrumental pop performances. ~ Scott Yanow When heard with Chick Corea's Elektric Band or as a sideman in more straight-ahead settings, Eric Marienthal consistently proves that he is a technically skilled and creative jazz altoist. Unfortunately, on his own recordings Marienthal is content to sound as if he is on automatic pilot, caressing insipid melodies, sticking close to the theme in a somewhat generic tone, and playing music that is clearly geared toward smooth radio and romantic backgrounds. Just Around the ...

Kirk Whalum Millenium Promise Jazz Project CD (2008)

In Joy songs

$14.29

With precious few exceptions, star-studded lineups on benefit recordings are usually a mixed bag at best -- particularly when it comes to the jazz arena. We tend to support these albums more as a way of showing solidarity than for their musical value. This set of stellar, contemporary jazz versions of socially conscious pop and soul songs is a clear exception. Promises Made is a benefit offering on Koch for the Millennium Project, an organization dedicated to the relief of hunger, disease prevention and economic development in Africa. This set is co-directed by saxophonist Kirk Whalum and pianist Takana Miyamoto. Some of those who signed on for this date include George Duke, David Sanchez, Marcus Printup, Russell Gunn, and Earl Klugh, who appear as soloists in different settings with a couple of different rhythm sections. The album was recorded in Nashville and produced by Miyamoto and Whalum with Norbert Simmons acting as executive producer. Recording information: 800 East Studios, Atlanta, GA; Dark Horse Studios, Nashville, TN; Down In Deep Studios, Atlanta, GA; Red Tuxedo Studios, Atlanta, GA. Creators: Khari Cabral Simmons; Takana Miyamoto. Arrangers: Khari Cabral Simmons; Mausiki Scales; Kirk Whalum; Terreon Gully; Takana Miyamoto; Zack Pride. This set is a treat: it's polished to be sure, but it's far from slick. The rhythms are all organic, there are no programmed beats, just drums and percussion instruments. ...

Franz Koglmann Make Believe CD (1999) (Import) Digipak; Germany

In Joy music CDs

$14.95

Largely inspired by a novel by the iconoclastic Jean Cocteau, Make Believe brings together an extraordinary quintet to perform trumpeter/ flugelhornist Franz Koglmann's provocative and even controversial compositions and arrangements. Koglmann has always rejected popular paths and instead forged a sort of chamber jazz, often focusing on slow and carefully drawn lines that seem to gently disappear or dissipate. The horns grasp the trumpeter's ideas well, as Tony Coe is a joy on reeds while French hornist Tom Varner adds lots of color (and some ...
