Late Night Sax [Rebound]

Late Night Sax [Rebound] (1995) more music like this

by Various Artists

When people hear the term "smooth jazz," they usually think of the music heard on NAC stations. But the idea of jazz functioning as smooth, soft, romantic mood music isn't something new -- back in the swing era, Glenn Miller's "Moonlight Serenade" (1939) and Artie Shaw's 1940 recording of "Stardust" (just to give two examples) showed the world how ...

Ruby, Ruby

Ruby, Ruby (1978) more music like this

by Gato Barbieri

Charming and romantic fit the description of Gato Barbieri and the work he presents here, the album Ruby, Ruby. The production of the record, mastered and engineered handsomely by Herb Alpert, is very lush and beautiful to a lasting degree. Barbieri turns his first song, "Ruby," from an early-on haunting love ballad to an appealing and gripping ...

Last Tango in Paris [Varese Sarabande]

Last Tango in Paris [Varese Sarabande] (2004) more music like this

by Gato Barbieri

Although some of the smoky sax solos get a little uncomfortably close to 1970s fusion cliché, Gato Barbieri's score to Bertolucci's 1972 classic is an overall triumph. Suspenseful jazz, melancholy orchestration, and actual tangos fit the film's air of erotic longing, melancholy despair, and doomed fate. "Last Tango in Paris" is a particular ...

by Gato Barbieri

Taken from three nights of recording in February of 1975, Gato Barbieri's Chapter 4 is a continuation -- albeit in a concert setting -- of the music explored on his first three chapters for Impulse. Finally available on CD this set includes three Barbieri compositions, including the four-part suite "La China Leonicia" and his ubiquitous "Milonga ...

20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Gato Barbieri

20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Gato Barbieri (2004) more music like this

by Gato Barbieri

This volume in the budget 20th Century Masters series focuses on Gato Barbieri's tenure with A&M -- despite the fact that he recorded for other labels owned by the Universal conglomerate, like Impulse!, where his truly seminal albums were recorded. The A&M recordings signified a complete change in direction for the Argentinean saxophonist, from ...

The Shadow of the Cat

The Shadow of the Cat (2002) more music like this

by Gato Barbieri

According to the press biography disseminated with advance copies of Gato Barbieri's Peak Records debut, The Shadow of the Cat, he was nearing 70 at the time of this release (previous published accounts would have put him at only 67) and this is the 50th album on which he is either featured or is the leader. One cannot, then, reasonably expect the ...

Fenix

Fenix (1971) more music like this

by Gato Barbieri

Some artists totally change directions; some reinvent their personalities. It is hard to know exactly what to make of the case of this Argentinian tenor saxophonist, who first appeared as a sideman on several extremely important Don Cherry projects, making such an essential contribution to the overall feel of these records that listeners expected ...

by Various Artists

Priceless Jazz Sampler offers 15 highlights from BMG/RCA's Priceless series, including cuts by Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, Lionel Hampton, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Benny Goodman and Woody Herman. There's nothing rare on the compilation, so it's not necessary for collectors, but it's not a bad sampler for casual listeners curious about the ...

Priceless Jazz Collection is a mid-line series GRP assembled with the intention of providing affordable introductions to several of the most popular artists on their label.

Universal's straightforwardly named Smooth Jazz is a no-frills collection that features nine tracks by some of the style's stars, including Najee's "Room to Breathe," the Rippingtons' "Let's Stay Together," and Spyro Gyra's "Ariana."

In Search of the Mystery

In Search of the Mystery (1967) more music like this

by Gato Barbieri Quartet

In his early days, Gato Barbieri was a fiery improviser who rarely held back his emotional intent to play music that was less interested in formal structure. While not to the level of Pharoah Sanders, Archie Shepp, or John Coltrane, you could hear he was striving for that type of expressionism. Accompanying the young Argentine tenor saxophonist is ...

Chapter Three: Viva Emiliano Zapata is the third of the four excellent "chapters" in saxophonist and composer Gato Barbieri's four-part "Latin America" series for Impulse, and released in 1974 with the core of a band he would use for his live outing on Chapter Four: Alive in New York. Produced by Ed Michel, this is a large group that included ...

by Gato Barbieri

A ten-track sampling of the career of Latin jazz tenor saxophonist Gato Barbieri, demonstrating his range from passionate South American melodies to his later easy listening jazz interpretations.

Che Corazon

Che Corazon (1999) more music like this

by Gato Barbieri

An improvement on tenor saxophonist Gato Barbieri's previous Columbia debut, this outing mostly features his romantic and passionate horn in the spotlight. One song is primarily a vocal feature for Gato. His backup band (which usually includes bassist Mark Egan and guitarist Chuck Loeb) is generally quite spirited, but it is the tenor who stars ...

The Impulse Story

The Impulse Story (2006) more music like this

by Gato Barbieri

Gato Barbieri may be one of those saxophonists whose sound is so closely associated with smooth jazz -- and has been since the late '70s -- that it's hard to imagine he was once the progenitor of a singular kind of jazz fusion: and that's world fusion, not jazz-rock fusion. Barbieri recorded four albums for Impulse! between 1973 and 1975 that ...

Greatest Hits

Greatest Hits (1976) more music like this

by Gato Barbieri

In the mid-1970s, Gato Barbieri moved from the often incendiary post-bop for which he was known to a slicker, more commercial blend of jazz and pop. Jazz critics were quick to denounce the tenor saxophonist as a sellout and tear A&M releases like Caliente and Ruby, Ruby to shreds, but in fact, some of Barbieri's pop-jazz/crossover output from that ...

by Gato Barbieri

In 1973, Argentinean saxophonist Gato Barbieri contemplated a move to a more commercially viable, accessible sound, one that appealed to both North and South American audiences. He moved from the jazz vanguard toward it's exotic center (and finally into the commercial world altogether) with a number of records, including this one, which explored ...
