Handel's Messiah: A Soulful Celebration

Handel's Messiah: A Soulful Celebration (1992) more music like this

by Various Artists

Contemporary soul-pop artists, including Patti Austin, Tevin Campbell, Stevie Wonder, Quincy Jone, Take 6, Howard Hewett, and Dianne Reeves, take a pop-song approach to Handel's classic Christmas oratorio. Handel's wonderful melodies are updated with synthesizers, drum machines, and slick pop production from Quincy Jones and Take 6's Mervyn Warren ...

Peace Round: A Christmas Celebration

Peace Round: A Christmas Celebration (2003) more music like this

by Yellowjackets

This progressive jazz supergroup had previously contributed tracks to three high-profile holiday jazz recordings (including a GRP collection and Take 6's He Is Christmas), but never took the full plunge into the stocking stuffer realm until now. There's definitely a sense of spunk and spontaneity as the quartet does its first and second takes, but ...

Greenhouse

Greenhouse (1990) more music like this

by Yellowjackets

The Yellowjackets' first release for GRP, Greenhouse, is a real gas. The disc starts innocently enough with "Freedomland," the kind of smart smooth jazz song that marked The Spin. It's on the following "Greenhouse" that listeners glimpse a change in the air: Strings (!) set the stage for dreamy, exotic jazz that melts in your mind, music that goes ...

Best of Smooth Jazz [Warner]

Best of Smooth Jazz [Warner] (1997) more music like this

by Various Artists

One could imagine this extremely radio-friendly grab bag as the sole "jazz" album on the shelf of a casual Wal-Mart shopper who bought it on an impulse. Indeed, it will give the harried consumer on the go an hour or so of easy-listening jazz, chosen with some care from a 21-year span of Warner Bros. recordings and ranging from the most recycled ...

Politics (1988) more music like this

by The Yellowjackets

A nearly complete departure from smooth jazz, Politics is arguably the Yellowjackets' strongest effort to date. True, there is the pure pop of the single "Local Hero" (which features a rhythm section more rock than jazz) and the accessible "Evening Dance" to be considered, but they're the exceptions rather than the rule. Like Four Corners before ...

Live Wires

Live Wires (1992) more music like this

by Yellowjackets

This live set by the Yellowjackets (taped at the Roxy in Hollywood) has plenty of solo space for Bob Mintzer (on tenor, soprano, bass clarinet and EWI) and keyboardist Russell Ferrante (who takes a particularly colorful spot on "Homecoming") along with fine backup work by bassist Jimmy Haslip, drummer William Kennedy and percussionist Paulinho Da ...

Like a River

Like a River (1992) more music like this

by Yellowjackets

Other than the easy-listening pieces that appear near the beginning of the program, this is one of The Yellowjackets' strongest jazz dates. Bob Mintzer's creative reeds (switching between tenor, bass clarinet, soprano and the EWI) keep the music stimulating and keyboardist Russell Ferrante has come a long way as both an improviser (where he is ...

A Twist of Jobim (1997) more music like this

by Various Artists

The debut release from the I.E. label (which is connected with Polygram) is an unusual multi-artist tribute to the music of Antonio Carlos Jobim. Some of his tunes are made funky (but in a melodic and tasteful way), while others become quiet (but still passionate) ballads. The treatments are all jazz-oriented, and there is plenty of solo space for ...

GRP's third edition features key artists, e.g. Dave Grusin, David Benoit, Diane Schuur and Tom Scott, who have appeared on the previous volumes returning to render their interpretations of new Christmas material. GRP artists appearing for the first time on any holiday recording include Yellowjackets performing "Go Tell It on the Mountain," and B.B ...

The Best of Yellowjackets

The Best of Yellowjackets (1999) more music like this

by Yellowjackets

The Yellowjackets began their recording career on the Warner Brothers label in 1981, recording three albums before moving to GRP where the band found commercial success during a ten-year stay. In 1995, they returned to the Warner fold to produce some of their best, maturest music. Dreamland, Blue Hats, and Club Nocturne found the band presenting ...

Rhino's Smooth Grooves: Smooth Jazz Vol. 1 collects pieces by smooth jazz pioneers and stars like Mike Maineri, Rodney Franklin, Ronnie Laws and Harvey Mason. Fourplay's "Bali Run," Bob James' "Angela (Theme from "Taxi")," David Sanborn's "Straight to the Heart" and the Yellowjackets' "Priscilla" are some of the album's other highlights. A ...

Yellowjackets [Bonus Tracks]

Yellowjackets [Bonus Tracks] (1981) more music like this

by Yellowjackets

The Yellowjackets made a splash with their first record, an accessible mixture of jazz, rock, and funk bearing the unmistakable mark of the L.A. session scene that spawned them. In fact, the Yellowjackets had their roots in the sessions for Robben Ford's 1979 album, The Inside Story. Russell Ferrante, Jimmy Haslip, and Ricky Lawson all appeared on ...

Collection (1995) more music like this

by Yellowjackets

The Yellowjackets were a fixture on the GRP label for a decade, and this CD is a sampling of some of their work from the period. During that era, in addition to keyboardist Russell Ferrante, electric bassist Jimmy Haslip and drummer William Kennedy, the Yellowjackets were joined by the reeds of Bob Mintzer (who is heard here playing tenor, bass ...

Altered State

Altered State (2005) more music like this

by Yellowjackets

The most adventurous quartet in contemporary jazz has met its visual match in Peter Max, the legendary pop artist who, as it turns out, is a huge fan of the band. Russell Ferrante and company could probably feel at home naming any of their innovative, loose-spirited albums after one of Max's paintings, but Altered State definitely fits the vibe ...

Time Squared (2003) more music like this

by Yellowjackets

Following on the heels of their Grammy-nominated Mint Jam, their self-released 2001 "live" recording, the Yellowjackets continue to blaze an enjoyable musical trail that pulsates with their energy and signature sound that few will fail to recognize and many have come to love over the past 30 years. With Time Squared, the group's first studio ...

Mirage a Trois/Club Nocturne (2006) more music like this

by The Yellowjackets

This two-fer CD combines the Yellowjackets 1985 album Mirage a Trois with Club Nocturne released in 1998. These LPs originally came out on Warner Bros and had been out of print until 2006 when Collectables reissued them. This pleasant set combines smooth jazz and fusion on such group originals as "Pass It On" "Claire's Song," and "Top Secret," and ...

20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of the Yellowjackets (2006) more music like this

by The Yellowjackets

This addition to the seemingly never-ending 20th Century Masters series finds Universal digging into the GRP archives for this Yellowjackets compilation, which is decidedly different than 1999's Best of Yellowjackets collection and resembles in slightly modified form GRP's 1995 greatest-hits compilation, aptly titled Collection. The band is ...

The various-artists collection Priceless Jazz selects highlights from GRP's compilation series of the same name. The disc gives a good idea of what the series is about, offering tracks by the Crusaders, the Yellowjackets, Keith Jarrett, Gil Evans, Tom Scott, Carmen McRae, Ramsey Lewis and Ahmad Jamal, among others. Considering its ultra-cheap ...

Shades (1986) more music like this

by Yellowjackets

The Yellowjackets are a jazz band for the Windham Hill set: i.e., smooth and relaxing rather than edgy and stimulating. If Shades goes down like straight sugar (and not the lumpy kind), it's supposed to. Since some folks are naturally drawn to this type of music and others are not, an appreciation for jazz is not enough -- you'll need an ...

It's hard to fault this two-disc, enhanced CD collection. Starting with Scott Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag" and roping in tracks from King Oliver, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Horace Silver, and John Coltrane, all the way to modern jazz musicians like Spyro Gyra and Geri Allen, this set covers a pretty ...
