Post-bop mainstay Cedar Walton has tickled the ivories with everyone from Art Blakey to Clifford Jordan, but his solo discography is not to be overlooked. SEASONED WOOD, cut when Walton was nearing his mid-70s, is as vital and refined as anything he's done in his career. Backed by an exceptional quintet, including drummer Al Foster and longtime cohort saxophonist Vincent Herring, Walton swings fiercely on standards ("The Man I Love," "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square") and on his own excellent originals. Sophisticated and elegant, Walton updates his classic post-bop sound, not by forcing it into something it's not, but by bringing it to life with the wisdom and panache of a veteran.
Personnel: Jeremy Pelt, Al Foster, Vincent Herring, Peter Washington.
Liner Note Author: Kirk Silsbee.
Down Beat (p.67) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The gentle waltz 'Clockwise' posits the notions of clarity and lyrical genius. Bassist Peter Washington sails through a melodious solo and shares the unusually beautiful Herbie Nichols-ish head of 'Hindsight.'"
JazzTimes (p.105) - "[W]hat is special about this band is the piano player: his aggressive yet nuanced touch, his slightly eccentric harmonic sensibility, his grainy lushness." Cedar Walton Seasoned Wood Songs Seasoned Wood Review

Seasoned Wood
$9.59
In the sound systems and clubs both in Jamaica and abroad, the arrival of the 12" "disco mix" in the mid-'70s was met with delight, as songs now seamlessly spun from vocal numbers into instrumental dubs and/or DJ versions. Modern compilations have made many of these extended mixes available again today, but rarities still abound, with Silver Kamel bringing together eight excellent, exceedingly hard to find classics. The set is all pure culture, but bounces around between time, producer, and artists, with the party kicking off with earliest of the batch. Cornel Campbell's "I Heart Is Clean" was released in 1976, with the backing Aggrovators strutting their stuff across the instrumental "Zinc Fence." There's a forceful rockers revelation from producer Niney Holness. The Soul Syndicate band back Phillip Fraser across two powerful numbers from the turn of the next decade, with the production shared by Fraser, Earl "Chinna" Smith, and T. Hailey. The singer may remain the same, but the DJs showcase the shifts in toasting with Prince Alla's pleas to the "Boss Man" far removed from the Clint Eastwood & General Saint styling of Peter Ranking & General Lucky. A pair of Jah Thomas productions also date from this era, although so dread is the roots supporting Barry Brown and Ranking Toyan's "Peace & Love"/"Judgement Time" that it feels like it was cut several years earlier. In contrast, there's no doubting Linval Thompson and King Rolex's "Guntalk"/"Everyday a Shot Dem Bus" date, backed by the Roots Radics, it's a prime slab of the early dancehall stylee. Incidentally, the little known Rolex delivers one of the most ferocious toasts on this ...
