| | Spyro Gyra Good To Go-Go CD Spyro Gyra Discography of CDs
While hardcore jazz purists wince at a mere mention of them, the long-established fusion/smooth jazz combo Spyro Gyra continue spinning easygoing grooves for their fans. With their 27th album (not even counting collections), Spyro Gyra up the ante by adding some tasty world-music rhythms. By juggling the sparkling Caribbean steel drums of Andy Narrell, dancehall, mainstream reggae, and Spanish flamenco, they come up with the exhilarating panorama "Jam Up." The band plays with extra fire and spunk throughout without ever sacrificing their flair for bright, sunshine-y melodies and soulful soloing.
Spyro Gyra: Julio Fernandez (guitars); Jay Beckenstein (saxophone); Tom Schuman (keyboards); Scott Ambush (bass instrument); Bonny B (drums).
Additional personnel: Christian Howes (violin); Marc Quinones (congas); Andy Narell (steel pan).

| | George Benson Irreplaceable CD (2004)
Good To Go-Go
$16.25
In the public eye as a recording artist since the early 1960s, guitarist/vocalist George Benson is arguably the man who injected the "smooth" into smooth jazz. IRREPLACEABLE artfully treads the border between contemporary R&B and smooth jazz, thanks in no small part to producer/songwriter Joshua Paul Thompson. A couple of factors set the more mature Benson's work apart from the pack of teens and twentysomethings crowding the jazz-tinged R&B field. Benson takes his vocal cues from the classic models of Nat King Cole and Sam Cooke, with a healthy dash of Stevie Wonder, leaving the histrionics for others to negotiate at their own risk. But, of course, Benson most clearly puts his mark on the album with his sui generis fretwork. Certainly the tracks groove like great R&B should, but on the tunes "Take You Out," "Missing You," and the standard "Softly, as in a Morning Sunrise," Benson's alternately blistering and sensual guitar lines grace the proceedings with a resonating lyricism.
Personnel include: George Benson (vocals, electric guitar); Chyna, Nakiea (vocals); Joshua P. Thompson (acoustic guitar, keyboards, synthesizer, bass instrument, ...

| | Brian Culbertson It's On Tonight CD (2005)
Good To Go-Go
$15.65
Kirk Whalum's silky tenor saxophone beautifully complements Patti Austin's soulful voice on "Love Will Never Let You Down," a seductive ballad about love's resilience. Instrumental tracks such as "Sensuality" and "Touch Me" combine relaxing atmospherics with deep-pocketed grooves. Through it all, Culbertson's smooth keys and horn lines (he plays both trumpet and trombone) shimmer and shine.
With its seething, laid-back funk beats and steamy lyrics full of obvious references to romantic trysts, it doesn't get any sexier than Brian Culbertson's IT'S ON TONIGHT. A number of prominent crossover jazz artist lend their talents here. For example, the downtempo title track features a sensual R&B vocal from singer Will Downing. Later, saxophonist Boney James' mellifluous lines become the focus of "The Way You Feel." On "Secret Affair," relative newcomer Chris Botti plays Miles Davis-influenced riffs over a spacious one-chord vamp (and his use of a Harmon mute creates that smoky, late-night effect).
Personnel include: Brian Culbertson (trumpet, trombone, piano, keyboards, bass synthesizer, percussion, drum programming, background vocals); Michelle Culbertson (vocals, violin); Patti Austin (vocals, background ...
