While it never completely went away, the jazz organ combo format (organ, drums, saxophone and/or guitar) has undergone a renaissance since the `90s. One of the players riding that wave is guitarist Greg Skaff. He's paid his dues with Stanley Turrentine (himself a veteran of the organ sound) and David "Fathead" Newman, and has learned his lessons well as his style leans towards the bluesy, burnished tone of Grant Green and pre-Top 40 George Benson. But on the smoking opener, "Willie D," and the blistering closer, "Fast As You Can" (a Fiona Apple song), he lets his rock side shine. The rest of SKYLINE is in the vein of classic slow-burning soul-jazz a la Benson, Green, and Dr. Lonnie Smith.

East Harlem Skyline CD music
$6.75   
A surprise best-seller when it was first released, this mostly improvised pairing of singer/keyboardist/producer Al Kooper with two major guitar heroes of the day sounds fascinating all these years later precisely because of the distance of time--nobody makes records like this any more. The material runs the gamut from folk pop (covers of Donovan and Dylan), to blues ("Albert's Shuffle," "You Don't Love Me"), to heady jams ("His Holy Modal Majesty"), to big-band jazz ("Harvey's Tune").
All the tunes make effective templates for the kind off-the-cuff music-making that in ...

East Harlem Skyline album
$13.59
This double-CD set is not only the best of Bill Chase's output but -- comprising all three of their albums -- virtually their complete finished studio work, before the plane crash that killed Chase and much of the group. The mastering on this Wounded Bird reissue is excellent, with a full solid bass sound topped by soaring highs on the brass and no compression to speak of. It's not as though this catalog has been overused, in terms of its master tape library -- apart from the hit "Get It On" -- but it's still good to know that the stuff has been well handled in terms of being digitalized. Additionally, the producers have reprinted Nat Hentoff's original essay about the group from their first album (and oh, for a time when college ...
| | David Bromberg My Own House/You Should See The Rest Of The Band CD (1999)
East Harlem Skyline CD music
$6.79
As of the late 1990s, guitarist and fiddler David Bromberg was in musical semi-retirement, supplementing his day job (making his living buying and selling American-made violins) with the odd club gig. But in the 1970s, he had a thriving career as both a bandleader and a sideman, having played on seminal recordings by Bob Dylan, the Eagles, and Jerry Jeff Walker, among others. This disc includes two of his early albums: first, the acoustic and largely solo My Own House, on which he plays a program that ranges from traditional Scottish and American fiddle tunes through Delta blues and songs by Hoagy Carmichael and Phil Spector. Talk about Americana. The second album included on this disc couldn't be more of a contrast: You Should See the Rest of the Band is a live recording with a large and very definitely electric band. David Bromberg the ...
| | Lisa Ono Espelanza CD (2000) (Import) Japan
East Harlem Skyline music CDs
$35.49
Lisa Ono is truly an anomaly on the bossa nova scene. She is Japanese, though she was born in Brazil and raised there until she was ten. In addition, her father was Baden Powell's manager. When her family returned to Japan, her father owned a nightclub that hosted all of the traveling Brazilian musical emissaries, who taught her the repertory. But that was long ago. This 1994 release offers Ono in a new bossa setting that she makes her own. Her material is exceptional, made more so by her lilting, unmistakable voice. She is joined here by some top Brazilian session musicians, including Zeca Assumpcao, Cristovao Bastos, Paulo Moura, Danilo Caymmi, and Tom Jobim. The company she keeps is due to the quality of the material she performs and her manner ...

Like Lenny Kravitz before him, the Atlanta-based singer/songwriter that is Kameron Corvet proves that there is always room in music for a young man with compelling vocals and lyrics. Corvet’s mix of light rock and smooth soul combine the sweet sultry vocals of Maxwell, the literate class of Sting, and the undeniable flare of Prince. Despite the many comparisons make no mistake about his individual uniqueness. “Kameron Corvet’s music is a breath of fresh air and ...
