Dave Holland's most notable work with a guitarist in the past was with John Abercrombie, and their collective trio Gateway with drummer Jack DeJohnette. For this set his quartet includes guitarist Kevin Eubanks, along with longtime musical cohorts Steve Coleman on alto saxophone and Marvin "Smitty" Smith on drums. The album opens and closes with compositions by Eubanks.
"Nemesis" is a fairly straightforward post-bop structure that lets everyone strut their wares in fine form. "Color of Mind" is unapologetically funky, and provides a perfect rhythmic bed for Coleman to sail over with glee. Holland's two pieces, "Processional" and "The Oracle" are both subtle and atmospheric, providing a fine contrast to the greater rhythmic density of the other tunes. Coleman, whose been writing a piece or two on most of Holland's albums he appears on, here offers two of his most contrasting numbers. "Black Hole" adheres to his angular and propulsive standards, while "101 Degrees Fahrenheit (Slow Meltdown)" employs mysterious and cinematic dramatics.
Recorded at Power Station, New York, New York in September 1989.

STOLAS is the 12th volume in John Zorn's BOOK OF ANGELS series of compositions, and it's a welcome and compelling idea that he decided to re-form his stellar Masada quintet for the occasion. In addition to the rhythm section of Joey Baron and Greg Cohen, trumpeter Dave Douglas, and pianist Uri Caine, Zorn enlisted tenor sax giant Joe Lovano to replace him on all but one cut where he adds his alto, making the group a sextet. Here klezmer, Yiddish folk music, bossa nova, and other Latin jazz all come together in a seamless meld of tunes that accent the symmetry of ensemble play as much as they do an extremely advanced sense of ensemble harmonics, rhythmic invention, and, of course, tautly arranged spaces for individual improvisation--check out the album's longest cut, "Tagriel," for evidence as Zorn's composition not only travels genres but centuries. The popping showcase ...

Digitally remastered by JVC using XRCD (Extended Resolution Compact Disc) technology.
For starters, it is impossible to go wrong with the personnel on FULL HOUSE. With a rhythm section comprised of alumni from Miles Davis's first quintet (Wynton Kelly on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Jimmy Cobb on drums) and the blazing tenor saxophone of Johnny Griffin complementing Wes Montgomery's bop leads on guitar, listeners will know they are in for a wild ride even before the album begins. Add to this an enthusiastic audience in a Berkeley jazz club in 1962 (where the performance was recorded), and one has a full house in more ways than one.
Post bop with a soulful, bluesy edge is the flavor of the day here, and the group works out accordingly on Dizzy Gillespie's ...

Extensions songs
$16.45
The first track 'I Like the Old Time Way' expresses how a lot of us feel today. We are getting away from some of the traditional ways that made up happy when we were growing up. The second track 'Judgment Day is Near' is one that I wrote hoping that when life takes that curve in the road, you can always remember that, soon, Our Lord will be here for us. He will give us a chance to walk the Streets of Gold! Track number three, another original of mine, is close to my heart. In the early 2000's, I had an opportunity to visit a large orphanage in Russia, and I saw many young, homeless children who needed a chance to share and be loved. As the song says, their 'Smiling Faces' can melt the coldest heart. Track number four is a song to live by each day. When you need guidance, 'Just A Little Talk With Jesus' makes everything right. Yes, it does! Track number five, and the title cut written by Tom T. Hall and Miss Dixie, is the answer to it all; 'Why Don't You Give Jesus a Try'. Well, I hope you will give Jesus a try and thanks for giving this project a listen. I have never been involved in a finer project that so much soul went into. I am more proud of this Carolina Road project than any we have done. All of us from Carolina Road would like to dedicate this work of art to anyone out there who needs someone to turn to so they can make it through the tough days we are ...
