After recording his third album, the appropriately named Solo Guitar, by himself and playing only standards, Bay Area jazz guitarist Lloyd Gregory returns to the smooth jazz style of his first two albums, Wonderful and Only for You. On his fourth, Free Fallin', Gregory collaborates with a large number of local musicians on the many originals, but the tunes always serve as backdrops to his smooth, melodic playing on acoustic guitar. There are attractive versions of "I Loves You Porgy" and "'Round Midnight," but most of the selections are new compositions. Toward the end, Gregory teams with programmer Felton Pilate for some slightly more synthesized efforts, while the final track matches him with Derek McKinney's flute and string arrangement for a pastoral conclusion. This is a pleasant collection of smooth jazz that demonstrates the guitarist's facility in engaging settings. ~ William Ruhlmann

Personnel includes: Lloyd Grerory (guitar); Felton Pilate (various instruments).

Personnel: Lloyd Gregory (guitar); Fletcher Jackson (vocals); Roger Glenn (flute); Gregory G. Pearson (horns, piano); Michael "Spiderman" Robinson (keyboards); R. Hamilton Smith (drums); Jon Bendich (percussion); Felton C. Pilate II (programming).

5 stars SMOOTH JAZZ GUITAR FROM LLOYD GREGORY
Jazz guitarist Lloyd Gregory, a popular entertainer on the San Francisco/Bay Area music scene for several decades, has an R&B background. So while his current jazzy instrumental sound is the epitomy of smooth, it also contains the deep-rooted passions, melodic sensibilities and silky stylings of classic soul music, as exhibited on his fourth album, FREE FALLIN. Something special happens when smooth jazz meets classic soul. Imagine taking elements from the original smooth jazz guitarists like Wes Montgomery, Barney Kessel, George Benson, Kenny Burrell and Earl Klugh, and subtly blending into that sound some R&B sensibilities from Curtis Mayfield, James Brown, The Temptations and Sly & The Family Stone. Gregory tips his hat to the predecessors who influenced him while carving out his own distinctive style that also includes hints of his R&B roots. It's a very enjoyable album.

Ella Fitzgerald Ella In Hollywood CDs  (1961) Remastered; Box Set

Free Fallin' album
CD $55.98  SALE Top 100 Audio Samples
Originally released on Verve Records in 1961, ELLA IN HOLLYWOOD is a straightforward collection of 12 familiar standards mostly given very simple, pop-oriented arrangements. Songs tend to run well under four minutes (a gently swinging "Just In Time" clocks in just under two), with only a minimum of room for Fitzgerald to break into her legendary scatting. ...

Bebel Gilberto All In One CD  (2009)

Free Fallin' CD music
CD $12.05  Top 500 Audio Samples
With ALL IN ONE, Bebel Gilberto made her home at Verve, which is not just an auspicious label for music but also the home of some of the best Brazilian records of all time--by Antonio Carlos Jobim, Astrud Gilberto (who is no relation, although she was married to Bebel's father before Bebel's birth), Stan Getz, and, of course, her father, Joao Gilberto. It's obvious Gilberto is well aware of this: the cover is reminiscent of an Astrud Gilberto album and she sings a version of "Bim Bom," which was written by her father and is known popularly for Astrud's version (what's more, it features the piano work of Brazilian royalty Dan Jobim). Still, it's clear Bebel Gilberto knows where to draw the line, and ALL IN ONE is defined more by her songs and her collaborators than the weight of Brazilian musical history that she must carry. Multi-percussionist Carlinhos Brown gets the most instrument credits (his kit bag must weigh a ton), and his string of percussion instruments brings a rich texture to every song he graces. (He also co-wrote the best new songs, ...

Dino: The Essential Dean Martin CD  (2004)

Free Fallin' album
CD $10.59  4.5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
Nearly a decade after Dean Martin's death, the crooner's fans were finally given the definitive Dino collection. While there was already a two-disc summation of Martin's Capitol recordings, as well as several compilations of his Reprise material, the single-disc, 30-track DINO: THE ESSENTIAL DEAN MARTIN contains a generous selection of the best of his work, culling from both labels' vaults. Steubenville, Ohio's favorite son became a singing star in the 1950s, mostly by virtue of his smooth, easy charm, apparent both in his vocal style and his public image. That charm is crystallized here--the South American lilt of "Sway;" the spare, countryish "Memories Are Made of This" (not insignificantly covered later by Johnny Cash); the laissez-faire swing of "Ain't That a Kick in the Head"--it all bespeaks ...
Greatest Hits Of All
Also Bought
George Benson Greatest Hits Of All CD  (2003) Remastered

Free Fallin' CD music
CD $10.19  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
Recorded between 1976 & 1998. Includes liner notes by Don Heckman. Basically, this "greatest hits of all" is simply that: the highest-charting tracks in George Benson's long career -- highest-charting pop and adult contemporary tracks, that is. Benson had been on the scene over a decade before signing with Warner Bros., and many of his jukebox and R&B hits were recorded for Creed Taylor's CTI label. Some of Benson's recorded work that held those hits has been reissued in the past two years. Of the Warner material, they have gauged success by chart placement -- not sales, not radio play, not artist choice. Therefore, while the stellar tracks from Breezin', namely "This Masquerade," which charted at number one on pop and R&B in Billboard, and its follow-up, the album's title track, kick the album off along with "On Broadway" and "The Greatest Love of All." But there are many stops along the way to the present from that 1976 issue, such as Benson's singularly beautiful read of "Unchained Melody," The vocal superstar & jazz guitar legend's most popular hits showcased on a TV marketed single-disc compilation of timeless music! 19 remastered tracks, more than 75 minutes of magic. Claus Ogerman, Quincy Jones, Mike Mainieri (arranger); Gary Herbig (saxophone, flute); ...

I Remember You
Philip Catherine I Remember You CD  (1990) (Import) Netherlands

Free Fallin' songs
CD $15.69  
A wonderfully sparse and subtle offering from guitarist Philip Catherine, featuring Tom Harrell on flügelhorn and Hein Van de Geyn on bass. This drumless trio pays memorial tribute to Chet Baker with a tranquil, melancholy set of standards and originals, beginning with Miles Davis' "Nardis" and continuing with an extended Catherine original titled "Twice a Week." The set also includes a swinging "I Remember You," a mid-tempo "My Funny Valentine," and a nod to hard bop with Hank Mobley's "Funk in Deepfreeze." Harrell contributes two originals, "From This Time, From That Time" and "Songflower," while Van de Geyn weighs in with a dark waltz, "Soul Role." Catherine closes the album with his own angular, altered "Blues for G.T." Catherine's bright, twangy sound and tasteful use of ...
