Jazzmasters: The Greatest Hits

Jazzmasters: The Greatest Hits (2000) more music like this

by Paul Hardcastle

Jazzmasters is essentially British composer and multi-instrumentalist Paul Hardcastle backed up by the occasional studio musician or vocalist. Since 1991 his Jazzmasters releases have provided several successful smooth jazz hits combined with an occasional danceable edge. While Hardcastle handles the majority of the instruments on these 14 tracks, ...

The Jazzmasters V

The Jazzmasters V (2006) more music like this

by Paul Hardcastle

The smooth jazz format came along at just the right time for the inventive, melodic and atmospherically minded composer/keyboardist Paul Hardcastle, who might have otherwise become a classic one-hit wonder after his mid-'80s global smash "19." Mining the cooler, chill-oriented aspects of what makes the genre popular, Hardcastle on his solo discs ...

Living in Oblivion: The 80's Greatest Hits, Vol. 1

Living in Oblivion: The 80's Greatest Hits, Vol. 1 (1993) more music like this

by Various Artists

A somewhat haphazardly assembled retrospective of '80s pop, Living in Oblivion contains not only classic new wave cuts, but also features several MTV hits from the mid-'80s and radio hits from the end of the decade. While there are some great songs on every volume, each disc is wildly inconsistent; only the first disc is somewhat coherent. ...

The Jazzmasters II

The Jazzmasters II (1995) more music like this

by Paul Hardcastle

Essentially background dance music with cooing vocals, quiet and predictable electronic rhythms and some derivative sax solos, the performances on this CD are pleasant but instantly forgettable. Paul Hardcastle plays keyboards, guitar, bass and percussion and is assisted by singer Helen Rogers and the reeds of Phil Todd and Chris Snake Davis. From ...

Hardcastle 1 (1994) more music like this

by Paul Hardcastle

Paul Hardcastle redefined his career with 1993's Jazzmasters, turning himself into a smooth jazz musician. He expands on that approach on Hardcastle 1, hiring a large cast of vocalists -- not just Jazzmasters veteran Helen Rogers, but Caroline Dayley, Steve Menzies, Imani, and Jaki Graham -- while adding a new pair of reeds players, Chris Davis ...

Jazzmasters III

Jazzmasters III (1999) more music like this

by Paul Hardcastle

By the time Paul Hardcastle and vocalist Helen Rodgers released Jazzmasters III in the summer of 1999, their blend of fusion, jazz, pop, new age, and worldbeat had become well known in contemporary jazz. At this stage in their career, most smooth jazz musicians become complacent, and it's to Hardcastle's credit that he pushes forward. Not that ...

The Jazzmasters 4

The Jazzmasters 4 (2003) more music like this

by Paul Hardcastle

The fourth installment of Paul Hardcastle's Jazzmasters series takes more of the same elements featured in the previous three but takes things in a different direction than the last release. There's more of an emphasis on instrumentation and arrangments here than in Jazzmasters III, and much to Hardcastle's credit there's the resistance to cash in ...

Hardcastle 2

Hardcastle 2 (1996) more music like this

by Paul Hardcastle

In the early '90s, Paul Hardcastle moved away from the synth-pop and dance material that made him semi-famous during the '80s, choosing to pursue a jazz fusion direction with his 1993 album Jazzmasters I and 1994's Hardcastle, Vol. 1. The sequel, Hardcastle 2, is very similar in terms of style and content to its predecessor. Keeping vaguely club ...

Cover to Cover (1997) more music like this

by Paul Hardcastle

Because Paul Hardcastle has had great commercial success with his "Jazzmasters" projects, he occasionally gets linked to jazz. In reality, Hardcastle is a producer of electronic pop instrumental records who uses keyboards, drum machines, some regular instruments, often a saxophone lead and occasional singers to create dance music. The emphasis on ...

The Jazzmasters (1991) more music like this

by Paul Hardcastle

After years of exploring dance and electronic music, Paul Hardcastle moved to contemporary jazz fusion with his 1993 album, Jazzmasters I. Recorded in late 1990 and early 1991, the album features Hardcastle on the majority of the instruments -- everything except the sax and flute, which are handled by Gary Barnacle, and the vocals, which are by ...

Synth Me Up: 14 Classic Electronic Hits (1997) more music like this

by Various Artists

Subtitled "14 Classic Electronic Hits," this budget compilation does do an admirable job of providing a micro-history of electronic music in mainstream pop. The definitions are pretty elastic here as well, making room for everything from Edgar Winter's "Frankenstein" and Jan Hammer's "Miami Vice Theme" to Billy Preston's "Outta-Space," Mike ...

Paul Hardcastle (1985) more music like this

by Paul Hardcastle

An accomplished songwriter, producer, and keyboard player, Hardcastle enjoyed some mild success on the R&B and dance charts with this self-titled release. He landed two hits on the R&B charts and cut his definitive track, "19," which even got him some pop attention and was his finest track as a performer and composer. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide

Lowrider Jams, Vol. 2 (2000) more music like this

by Various Artists

Lowrider Jams, Vol. 2 is a worthy sequel to its predecessor, mixing more old-school rap and Miami-style bass with electro-pop hits by the likes of Trio ("Da Da Da") and Information Society ("Running"). There are also killer tracks by Paul Hardcastle ("19" and "Rainforest"), Debbie Deb ("I'm Searching" and "Look Out Weekend"), Basskraft ("Tour de ...

Billboard Top Dance Hits: 1985 (1998) more music like this

by Various Artists

Billboard Top Dance Hits: 1985 is a budget-priced collection containing ten dance hits from 1985. A few of the tracks, including Nuance's "Loveride" and Kaja's "Turn Your Back on Me," are original single versions, but almost all of the disc consists of extended remixes of songs like Patti LaBelle's "New Attitude," Exposé's "Point of No Return," ...
