Power Forward (1995) more music like this

by Wayman Tisdale

At this point, Wayman Tisdale was better known as a one of the NBA's tough power forwards, a position often described as the equivalent to hockey's enforcer, but on the jazz tip Tisdale's silky smooth and a purveyor of mature romanticism. He's not a virtuoso on any of the instruments he plays (yet) -- bass guitar, keyboards, or the synthesizer -- ...

Hang Time (2004) more music like this

by Wayman Tisdale

The former NBA all-star returns to titling his musical projects after expressions from his previous line of work -- and, consistent with those, comes up with a funk-drenched smooth jazz slam dunk once again. One of the few bassists to make it mainstream in the genre by playing those low tones like a regular guitar, Wayman Tisdale mixes up the ...

Decisions (1998) more music like this

by Wayman Tisdale

When Wayman Tisdale was ten-years-old, he lay his hands for the first time on the two items which would eventually determine the dual nature of his life: a basketball and a six string guitar. Sports fans know where the first one led -- to a successful all-star career in the NBA where the 6'9" Tisdale totaled 5,000 rebounds and played for the ...

Funky Jazz Party (1998) more music like this

by Various Artists

Funk is pretty consistently sacrificed to the romantic imperative on this pleasant, but ultimately not very interesting, collection. There's a gentle strut underlying Rick Brown's smooth-jazz trumpet showcase "Nightfall," and Avenue Blue shakes its understated booty on "A Woman's Touch." But Steve Cole's "Stay Awhile" is more typical -- it buries ...

Face to Face (2001) more music like this

by Wayman Tisdale

The former NBA star, killer bass player, and fun-loving character with the bright smile came into his own with 1998's brilliant Decisions, which marked his first project since retiring from basketball. On this solid but slightly less spectacular follow-up, he seems caught on the fence between slick, soulful smooth jazz with heavy R&B grooving, and ...

NBA at 50: A Musical Celebration (1996) more music like this

by Various Artists

The NBA at 50: Musical Celebration is an odd selection of soul and urban R&B songs that don't necessarily have anthing to do with basketball -- they just happen to have been recorded during the last 25 years of the NBA's 50-year existence. As a urban R&B collection, it's actually fairly good, featuring classics by Marvin Gaye, Kurtis Blow, Kool & ...
