While working in a mainstream context, contemporary Ohioan trumpeter Sean Jones is far from the staid Young Lions of the early 1980s. For instance, he's unafraid to infuse his brand of neo-hard bop with easygoing crossover-type elements (shimmering electric piano, smoothly melodious flute) and his originals possess a bright, easily accessible ambiance. Make no mistake--Jones's music is still straight-ahead jazz, albeit with a sweet coating. His approach has the technique and fortitude of hard-bop masters Kenny Dorham and Freddie Hubbard but the charm and melodiousness of Chris Botti and Chuck Mangione.Down Beat (p.58) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Working with a core group of five players, two of them saxophonists, trumpeter Sean Jones flexes more than sufficient muscle to conjure the illusion of a big band on this compact package of mainstream modernism."
JazzTimes (p.92) - "An excellent and highly appealing outing that should garner Jones the same kind of attention that has been paid to his trumpet colleagues Nicholas Payton and Jeremy Pelt."
Record Collector (magazine) (p.91) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[A] scintillating straightahead set...There are stylistic echoes of horn legends Clifford Brown and Freddie Hubbard..." Sean Jones Search Within Songs | 1. | Search Within, The (Interlude) |

Search Within album
 $15.19  
Trumpeter Sean Jones emphasizes various vocalist friends for his fourth recording as a leader. His previous CDs have leaned toward a more produced pop-oriented approach within a definite modern jazz framework, and this effort leans toward a balance of combining those elements without being overtly commercialized. The first eight cuts all feature the singers, the most effective being rising star Gretchen Parlato. Her beautiful voice levitates Kendrick Scott's ballad composition "Journey," done on his debut CD, receiving a different, less expansive treatment, while the sunny swing waltz "It's Just a Matter of Time" has Parlato and Sachal Vasandani swapping opposing transposed crowded vocal lines. Parlato is special; please pay attention to her in the future. Even more impressive are two spiritualistic pieces, reminiscent of the recent work by pianist Robert Glasper. The opener, "Allison," drips with emotion, informed by the lovely piano playing of Orrin Evans, slight Latin ...

Drummer Mike Clark has run the gamut of grist-of-the-mill modern jazz and funk on a handful of recordings, best represented on his 1989 Stash CD, Give the Drummer Some. This album exceeds all his previous dates with regard to the vitality of this music, the high-level musicianship of all the players, and the fact that Clark happily wears his influences on his sleeve. You hear clear references to Philly Joe Jones, Art Blakey, Max Roach, and Elvin Jones in his playing, while stylistically Joe Henderson and Woody Shaw come to mind. The result is retro hard bop made current by the ferocious playing of the band, which includes alto saxophonist Donald Harrison, trumpeter Christian Scott, and bassist Christian McBride. Earning high honors are tenor saxophonist and composer Jed Levy and especially pianist Patrice Rushen, who emerges from the shadows of her commercially oriented life to provide a truly stellar, inspired, and driven performance on acoustic piano. The CD kicks off with two outstanding pieces, both penned by Levy, and never lets up until ...
