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.

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.

This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players. Few jazz pianists could ever hope to rival the technical mastery of Art Tatum. From the 1930s on through the `50s, Tatum's dazzling facility made it seem as if two pianists were playing at once. Though he often performed solo, his virtuosity allowed him to make the transition from swing to bebop effortlessly. Tatum's eclectic style also reflected influences from blues and classical music, and from early jazz and pop music ...

Roy Hargrove Emergence CD  (2009)

Free Fallin' album
CD $13.99  Top 500 Audio Samples
Trumpeter Roy Hargrove has been in some exotic musical environments in the past -- from his various quintets, quartets, his Afro-Cuban outfit Crisol, and his funk band the RH Factor, he's pretty much done it all. And while he's played in various big bands before, he's never led his own until now. Emergence on the Groovin' High imprint features a 19-member big band, playing a set of 11 standards and originals by Hargrove and bandmembers as well as a track written for the leader by none other than pianist Chucho Valdés -- who doesn't appear here. The roots for this project go all the way back to 1995 when Hargrove formed a big band to play the New York Jazz Festival. The group went through many metamorphoses when he played a series of club and festival gigs over the intervening years. The set begins with "Velera," a tune written and arranged by Hargrove. It's a ballad in modal style with extended harmonies and a lovely textural palette. The composer employs restraint to bring forth his gorgeous melody. It's followed by "Ms. Garvey, Ms. Garvey," written and arranged by baritone saxophonist Jason Marshall. It quotes liberally from "Wade in the Water" and "Hit the Road Jack," but is a stomping, raucous blues in its own right with the wide chromatic and harmonic range of the brass section on full display, and contains a smoking solo break by Hargrove. Some of the standards that really shine are an unusually restrained and utterly elegant "My Funny Valentine" and the finger-popping "September in the Rain," the former arranged by bass trombonist Max Siegel and the latter by ...

Although guitarist Joe Pass was usually heard in unaccompanied settings during his Pablo years, there were occasional departures.

Considering the musicians involved, it's no surprise that the music always swings. The group performs four originals (including ...
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 vibrato, harmonics, octave leaps, and volume and chorus effects distinguish him from many other straight-ahead ...

Recorded between 1972 and 1979. Includes liner notes by Bill DeYoung. This is part of A & M's "20th Century Masters The Millenium Collection" series. After his work with the Beatles on LET IT BE brought his name to the wider rock audience, R&B stalwart Billy Preston became one of the hottest names in 1970s funk. Like Stevie Wonder, Parliament's Bernie Worrell, and Traffic's Steve Winwood, Preston's core instrument was the electric organ, but he also experimented enthusiastically ...
