| | Greg Osby Channel Three CD Greg Osby Discography of CDs
Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, saxophonist extraordinaire Greg Osby quietly established himself as one of the most valued and sophisticated players on the jazz scene--bending genres, writing strong original material, and seeking out ever-challenging configurations. 2005's CHANNEL THREE is Osby's first trio recording, and one that spotlights his technical expertise. Osby also continues his tradition of handpicking superb players to accompany him. Bassist Matthew Brewer and drummer Jeff "Tain" Watts lend nimble, adventurous support to the leader's always-engaging melodic and harmonic explorations on a string of original tunes and treatments of Ornette Coleman ("Mob Job") and Eric Dolphy ("Miss Ann").
Personnel: Greg Osby (vocals, soprano saxophone, alto saxophone); Matt Brewer (vocals, bass instrument); Jeff "Tain" Watts (vocals, drums, cymbals, percussion).
Liner Note Author: Greg Osby.
Entertainment Weekly (No. 833, p.77) - "His tenor and soprano playing, always inventive, have never sounded so loose and graceful." - Grade: B plus
Down Beat (p.74) - 4 stars out of 5 - "His horn sounds warmer than usual on the title track, while on 'Test Pattern,' he name-checks Coleman again with a bluesy tone and highly expressive phrasing."
JazzTimes (p.70) - "[O]n pieces, like 'Mob Job', you hear solos become fully realized abstract designs that you have never heard before. Instead of prettiness, he sometimes delivers austere beauty." Greg Osby Channel Three Songs | 1. | Mob Job |

| | Bebel Gilberto All In One CD (2009)
Channel Three
$12.05
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, "Nossa Senhora" and "Ela [On My Way].") Also appearing is superstar producer Mark Ronson for the single "The Real Thing," a song whose history hits a sweet spot here--Stevie Wonder originally wrote it in the late '70s for Sergio Mendes & Brasil '77. Ronson takes the song back to Wonder's Motown roots, also quoting from Saint Etienne's vibrant update of classic soul production. Gilberto sounds most confident elsewhere, however, especially on her own songs and when she's singing in Portuguese. (Didi Gutman from Brazilian Girls also helps out, as does the Dust Brothers' John King.) Despite the large cast, ALL IN ONE is a remarkably unified record; no one makes a larger impact here than Bebel Gilberto herself, while she and executive producer Didię Cunha create a record ...
