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.

Herb Alpert What Now My Love CD (1966) Remastered; Special Edition

Free Fallin' CD music

$9.99

With this album, Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass settle into their hitmaking groove, the once strikingly eclectic elements of Dixieland, pop, rock, and mariachi becoming more smoothly integrated within Alpert's infectious "Ameriachi" blend. They sound more like a band now; along with Alpert's now-indelibly stamped trumpet sound, we can recognize jazzman John Pisano's distinctive rhythm guitar, Lou Pagani's piano, the droll Bob Edmondson's dulcet trombone, etc. Pisano, who debuted as a composer on Going Places, comes up with a memorably whistleable song "So What's New," and the rest of Alpert's songwriting brigade (Ervan Coleman, Julius Wechter and Sol Lake) chime in with some lively, catchy tunes. There is also an assortment of pop, film, and Broadway standards of the day, all impeccably arranged by Alpert, whose production instincts grew sharper and surer with every release. Result: another hugely entertaining hit LP, one that stayed at number one longer than any other TJB album (nine weeks). ~ Richard S. Ginell With this album, Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass settle into their hitmaking groove, the once strikingly eclectic elements of Dixieland, pop, rock, and mariachi becoming more smoothly integrated within ...

Dino: The Essential Dean Martin CD (2004)

Free Fallin' songs

$10.45

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. ...

Steve Tyrell This Time Of The Year CD (2002)

Free Fallin' CD music

$6.09

Steve Tyrell has attracted enough attention for his two regular albums, A New Standard and Standard Time, that he is almost beyond journalists' usual tack of describing a new singer's voice by who he sounds like; pretty soon, they'll be saying that other singers sound like him. But it remains true that if you have never heard him but you are familiar with Dr. John, your first reaction upon hearing him is likely to be that you are listening to Dr. John. Well, maybe a younger Dr. John, and one whose accent isn't quite as swampy. But the basic elements -- the grit and gravel in the tone, the slurred, deep South phrasing -- are much the same. Of course, Tyrell comes by the sound of his voice honestly, hailing from Houston, TX, and boasting a musical career (albeit, behind the scenes) as long as Dr. John's. But it remains true that Dr. John got there first, and so the comparison remains inevitable. As on his regular albums, Tyrell lines up a cast of jazz heavyweights for these small-group sessions, allowing plenty of space for soloing, particularly by trumpeter Clark Terry, who shines on "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "The Christmas Song." Tyrell is at his best on the bluesier numbers, especially "Merry Christmas Baby," but he adds soul to anything he sings. His fans are likely to welcome this just as they did his first two albums. But don't be surprised when you've got this disc in the CD player on Christmas ...

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

Free Fallin' songs

$16.39
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 ...
