Jazz Chillout [Blue Note]

Jazz Chillout [Blue Note] (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

From the vaults of Blue Note and EMI comes this two-CD compilation of soul-jazz, funky stuff, hip bossa nova, and hip-hop. The artists are both old (Stanley Turrentine, Chet Baker, Grant Green) and new (Patricia Barber, Karl Denson, Guru), and all the tracks have been selected to provide the listener with a very laid-back groove. Tim Sendra, All ...

3-D Lifestyles

3-D Lifestyles (1993) more music like this

by Greg Osby

Greg Osby is a hugely talented altoist but this attempted mixture of rap and jazz is a disaster. Not only does rap that is filled with meaningless name dropping and profanity plague all but one selection, but Osby's alto sounds like an anemic version of Sadao Watanabe. The monotone delivery of the rappers is extremely annoying to hear as is the ...

Cipher Syntax (1988) more music like this

by Strata Institute

With Steve Coleman, Greg Osby, David Gilmore, Bob Hurst, Marvin "Smitty" Smith, and Tani Tabbal. With Steve Coleman (sax) for "cyborg-funk." An acquired taste, but still excellent. Michael G. Nastos, All Music Guide

Anatomy of a Groove

Anatomy of a Groove (1991) more music like this

by M-Base Collective

This CD features many of the top players of the so-called "M-Base" idiom, a loose style of music related to the free funk of Ornette Coleman's Prime Time but making a greater use of space and uncrowded ensembles. The funky rhythms are unpredictable and creative while the highly original horn solos of altoists Steve Coleman and Greg Osby have ...

Art Forum

Art Forum (1996) more music like this

by Greg Osby

Greg Osby, who has recorded in a variety of settings (sometimes using hip-hop rhythms and rap), sticks to acoustic jazz on this relaxed, dry and often melancholy set, performing seven originals and two standards. In addition to the basic quartet/quintet (which sometimes utilizes the vibes of Bryant Carrott), five other musicians (most notably the ...

Giant Steps (1994) more music like this

by Various Artists

An intriguing Blue Note collection which alternates jazz-rap cuts with original jazz-funk classics from the '70s, Giant Step includes Us3, Greg Osby, Guru, the Beastie Boys and UMC's from the new school, while Donald Byrd, Reuben Wilson and Lou Donaldson represent the old.

Man-Talk for Moderns, Vol. X (1990) more music like this

by Greg Osby

There are several problems with this disappointingly lightweight release. Greg Osby chose to mostly feature his anonymous-sounding soprano instead of his much more distinctive alto. The rhythms on the funky grooves are so predictable and insipid that they could have been played by the sidemen in their sleep and none of the originals are the least ...

Inner Circle (2002) more music like this

by Greg Osby

Osby recorded Inner Circle in 1999 but chose to postpone its release until 2002, for artistic reasons. Save for Tarus Mateen in place of Lonnie Plaxico, the disc boasts the same lineup as Jason Moran's debut, Soundtrack to Human Motion, and a similar temperament as well. Each piece has its own unique logic, whether it's the meticulously plotted ...

Latitude (2004) more music like this

by Groundtruther with Greg Osby

Groundtruther is not a band, actually, but a project created by guitarist/composer Charlie Hunter and drummer, composer, and electronics maestro Bobby Previte. There will be three albums in the Groundtruther catalog when it's all done, of which Latitude is the first -- Longitude and Altitude are the other titles in the series. In addition to the ...

Greg Osby and Sound Theater (1987) more music like this

by Greg Osby and Sound Theater

This early effort by altoist Greg Osby (who doubles on soprano) matches him with pianist Michele Rosewoman, guitarist Kevin McNeal, bassist Lonnie Plaxico, and either Terri Lyne Carrington or Paul Samuels on drums. Two songs add Fusako Yoshikda on koto. The performances (mostly Osby originals) are complex, somewhat abrasive, and in the M-Base ...

Invisible Hand (2000) more music like this

by Greg Osby

Though chock full of Osby's signature brand of dissonance, The Invisible Hand is one of the altoist's mellower, more contemplative offerings. Its most novel aspect is the inclusion of pianist Andrew Hill and guitarist Jim Hall, two of jazz's fascinating elder statesmen. Hill's piano style is fractured and fragmented, yet suffused with its own ...

This is one of the better Christmas jazz collections available. The 15 selections each utilize different artists and were recorded especially for this CD. Kurt Elling's version of Steve Allen's "Cool Yule," and Pat Martino's "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," Javon Jackson's "Santa Baby," Bobby Watson and Jack Walrath on "Cristo Redentor," and ...

Man Talk (1991) more music like this

by Greg Osby

Early album from alto saxophonist who has emerged as a leading figure in the hip-hop/jazz fusion school. Osby's '91 release didn't include much rap or hip-hop, but did reflect its influence with its heavily edited, short songs, strutting bravado, and Osby's pungent alto solos. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide

Originally part of the Blue Note 60th Anniversary boxed set, this collection spans music recorded at the label after the death of Alfred Lion in 1971. Contained here is the work of Donald Byrd, Earl Klugh, and Ronnie Laws from the period before the label folded in 1981, as well as material from the new era that began in 1985 when it was ...
