Chuck Loeb knows the secret to finding enduring success in the genre, even amidst growing competition by more and more up and coming guitarists who approximate his style: keep the listener guessing from tune to tune with unique stylistic and production curveballs. He's so effective at this that it's impossible to resist as he commands in the title of his new Shanachie disc: simply Listen. Keeping his crisp electric lines front and center, he darts and moves from the retro-soul clicking, synth strings, and rising horn combination of "Silver Star" to the fingersnap percussion, hypnotic cymbal rolls, Gary Keller's flute harmony, and Jim Beard's shimmering Fender Rhodes foundation on "High Five." It's a kick keeping up with his mood swings; Loeb restrains himself wrapping around Mark Egan's spacy basslines and Kim Waters' soprano on "Love Is All," then stirs up the frenetic fusion activity of "Right Down Broadway" with Mitch Forman's jump or else piano groove and more of those sassy horns. He even keeps a cover of Michael Jackson's "Rock with You" from slipping away into Muzakville by shifting from high to low string tones and trading off melody lines with Walter Beasley's alto. ~ Jonathan Widran

Principally recorded at BearTracks Studio, Suffern, New York.

3 stars A keeper
Most subsequent collections by an artist can be stale and limp, but not this one by Chuck Loeb. The title really sets the stage for some really wonderful hours spent absorbing thses great jazz melodies.

4 stars A Good One from CHUCK!
I've been a big fan of Chuck Loeb ever since I heard his work from his days on the DMP label when "audiophile CDs" were just starting to come out. I'm glad to say that the Shanachie label has maintained the excellent audio quality set by that preceeding label and surpassed it on occassion. This is the case on this release which finds CL stretching fingers on a fine selection of tracks. Outstanding arrangements of Michael Jackson's "Rock With You" and The Yellowjacket's "Geraldine" have firmly placed Chuck at the very top of the school of smooth jazz guitarists. If you need to buy just ONE Chuck Loeb CD, this SHOULD be it. LISTEN, (pardon the pun) discover and ENJOY.

4 stars Good album.
Chuck Loeb really is one of the best writers//producers//players out there. While not his best album, it has some good tracks and some nice guests (Jay Beckenstein, Kim Waters). A safe buy.

Eric Bell Irish Boy CD  (2008) (Import) United Kingdom

Listen
CD $16.19  Audio Samples
A welcome reissue for this Irish Boy, Eric Bell's solo album was first released in Spain back in 1998. The Dublin born Bell has had a long and varied career, but he will forever be acclaimed as a founding member of Thin Lizzy, the man whose guitar put the fire in the band's first hit, "Whiskey in the Jar." For Irish Boy, Bell was joined by two long-time cohorts, co-vocalist/bassist Tony Williams and drummer Alan Golden. The recording was done quickly in just over a week, and Bell, for one, wasn't overly impressed with the results, as he states in the sleeve notes. At times one can see his point, the opening numbers "Days of Innocence" and "2 Ships" are lovely, glowing songs, but lack a touch of the excitement we've come to expect from Bell. But then the trio take up "Ballad by the Irish Sea," washed by waves of guitar that crest in a jubilant Irish jig. Bell's fingers seem to be literally smiling, so filled with joie de vivre is his playing. Similarly, "Just to Get By" is a blistering, foot-stomping, celebration of life, an Irish hoe-down that cries out for a club remix to rocket it into the dance charts. "You Smiled" sounds like its already spun on Top of the Pops, an irresistible British Invasion styled number with a decided Celtic tinge. A far purer R&B illuminates the strutting "Standing in the Middle," while Bell's debt to the blues is repaid on the surf-splashed "Newcastle Bay" and the magnificent "Just to Get By," on the latter the guitarist wrings the emotion out of every haunting note he plays. Coming out of left field,though,is "Priest of Love," a surprising stab at white reggae à la the Police, albeit with Bell's exquisite guitar winding through, and themed around the fate of a rejected visionary. It's not entirely successful, but the lyrics resonate; better is the funky ride ...
