Customer Modern Art: Best Of Reviews 




3 stars For Diehard Fans Only
This release compiles some of the better alternate dance mix and extended single tracks from Foxx's prime early-80's period. Some stand the test of time better than others, but one must keep in mind at the time, this was cutting-edge pop music. I look at "Modern Art" as the companion CD to 1992's "Assembly". That CD covers much more ground on the album cuts from Foxx's first four pop releases, whereas MA focuses on the top 40 singles. A sprinkling of latter-day ambient work from his late-90's work seems a bit disjointed, but enjoyable nonetheless. It is nice to finally have some of the more obscure single remixes on CD finally, although I still pull out my double-45 gatefold sleeves to enjoy the artwork while listening. Foxx's music would be a natural for DVD/DTS allowing a shifting pastiche of his art and photography to display in tandem with the music. However, such a niche artist will never have the purchasing power to warrant such an investment by a record label, even if the artist himself "owns" it.

With BIRTH OF THE COOL, Miles Davis distilled a new tonal palette for jazz. As early as 1954, Miles reacted to the escalating chordal complexity of hard bop by fashioning an evocative blues based on a simple scalar pattern ("Swing Spring"). KIND OF BLUE was the ultimate fulfillment of this approach, with Miles providing his collaborators little more than outlines for melodies and simple scales for improvisation. By emphasizing the blues and the improvisor's melodic gifts, KIND OF BLUE precipitated a major stylistic development--modal jazz. Charles Mingus had experimented with pedal points throughout the 1950s, and the melodic freedom of Ornette Coleman's Atlantic sides was also predicated on freedom from chord changes. But KIND OF BLUE was to prove the most influential, ...

SILVERADO RECORDS TO RELEASE HAND MADE PORTRAIT, THE NEW ALBUM FROM LEGENDARY JAZZ GUITARIST CALVIN KEYS ON MAY 1, 2007On Tuesday, May 1, 2007, Silverado Records will release Oakland, CA-based jazz guitar great Calvin Keys’ newest album Hand Made Portrait. Keys’s sophomore release for the label – his critically-acclaimed label debut Calvinesque (#30 on the Jazz Week jazz charts) was released in 2005 – Hand Made Portrait is a beguiling blend of classic Broadway show tunes (Accustomed to Your Face), Great American Songbook (I’ll remember April), Brazilian bossa nova (Wave) and venerable jazz standards (Little Niles) (Good Bait) and (Naima). “These were some of the songs that I had been playing over the years and I just wanted to go in and record them,” says Keys. “I just like these songs and I just play what I like; I play what I feel. And I’m paying compliments to some of the greatest writers who ever lived.” Aided and abetted by drummer David Rokeach throughout and bassists Mark “Heshima” Williams, Jeff Chambers and Matt Montgomery on alternate tracks, the guitarist claims these songs as his own.The title of this new Calvin Keys joint alludes to both the instrument the songs are played on – Heritage Guitars’ ‘hand made’ “Calvin Keys Golden Eagle Custom model -- and his artistic raison d’etre. “To me it’s about musical painting,” he muses. “That’s what I do – come up with different ideas and different arrangements to evoke the poetry, use my guitar as my brush, and then paint musical portraits with my hands.” Like a gifted dauber of pigment, Keys’ Hand Made Portrait style is a collective reflection/conflation of the iconic masters who he studied under during his formative years. In this guitarist’s case, that means Hammond B3 organ gods Jimmy Smith, Jack McDuff, and Richard “Groove” Holmes, Ray Charles and Ahmad Jamal. “People say that’s ‘old school’, but I call it the real school,” he laughs. Calvin was born in Omaha, Nebraska in 1943. A guitar prodigy, he had his first professional gig at the age of 14. In 1973, he got The Gig That Changed His Life: ...
