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.

Dino: The Essential Dean Martin CD  (2004)

CD $10.45  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 ...
Greatest Hits Of All

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 ...

Madeleine Peyroux Careless Love CD  (2004)

Free Fallin' music CDs
CD $14.49  3.6 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
Madeleine Peyroux's unique blend of jazz and pop was first unveiled on 1996's DREAMLAND, where she sounded like a postmodern heir to the smoky-voiced tradition that ran down from Billie Holiday through the likes of Karen Dalton and Judy Roderick. Though Peyroux made a splash with her debut, she quickly dropped out of the music scene, not to appear again until eight years later with the long-overdue follow-up, CARELESS LOVE. Here, Peyroux tackles material from a variety of sources; some songs were written expressly for her by such contemporary songsmiths as Jesse Harris (who penned Norah Jones's breakthrough hit, "Don't Know Why"). Perhaps most striking, though, are her interpretations of older compositions. Peyroux redefines the darkly yearning Leonard ...

Miles Davis Sketches Of Spain CD  (1960) Bonus Tracks; Remastered

Free Fallin' songs
CD $6.75  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
The crown jewel of the epic Evans/Davis triptych that began with MILES AHEAD and PORGY AND BESS, SKETCHES OF SPAIN is as emotionally compelling as any performance in the trumpeter's remarkable body of works. Combining as it does the emotional gravity of two cultures--the deep song of flamenco music and the rich lament of the blues--SKETCHES OF SPAIN is a musical hybrid of enormous power and beauty. Gil Evans' immense canvas of orchestral colors inspires some of Davis' most deeply felt solo flights. He paints vast vistas of velvety, shimmering night sounds, and through it all runs the mountainous backbone of Spain's native rhythms and chants. The centerpiece of SKETCHES OF SPAIN is the Evans/Davis treatment of the second movement of Rodrigo's "Concierto De Aranjuez." Evans' charts engage Davis in a shifting, insistent dialogue, italicizing the trumpeter's subtle variations and timbral ecstasies with magnificent orchestral flourishes. The surreal patina of three flutes and harp, high muted trumpets and woodwinds, and subterranean trombones, French ...

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

Free Fallin' album
CD $9.99  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
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, ...
