Instant Party

Instant Party (2004) more music like this

by Gene Harris

Instant Party is essentially a single-disc best-of compilation featuring some of the more uptempo highlights from pianist Gene Harris' long stay at the Concord Jazz label. Harris recorded for Concord from 1985 until 1999 (he died early in 2000), and his stay amounted to both a revival and a fruitful autumnal capstone to his long career. A fluid ...

1 (1972) more music like this

by The Crusaders

In 1971, the Jazz Crusaders reinvented themselves for the first time. First they dropped the word "jazz" from their moniker, and secondly they wholeheartedly embraced electric bass and guitars in their mix. Their new "debut" is a wonder of jazz-funk as a natural evolution out of hard bop and soul-jazz. While the wonderful horn interplay between ...

The Best of the Concord Years

The Best of the Concord Years (2000) more music like this

Gold

Gold (2007) more music like this

by The Crusaders

For listeners willing to overlook the fact that this Crusaders retrospective begins the story in 1970 -- nine years after the combo began recording excellent hard bop and soul-jazz -- the two-disc set Gold is just as good and nearly as thorough as the 1996 four-disc box Way Back Home. (Since the running time is only 17 seconds shy of 160 minutes, ...

Sample This

Sample This (1997) more music like this

by Joe Sample

In case anyone has forgotten how ingratiating and prolific Joe Sample the songwriter has been, the master of elegant funk re-records 14 songs here. And it is a cooler, more reflective light in which Sample and producer George Duke see his old tunes in the '90s: with relaxed, uncomplicated, to-the-point acoustic piano leads; a mildly percolating ...

Groove Crusade

Groove Crusade (2003) more music like this

by The Crusaders

Groove Crusade is a smoking little sampling of the Crusaders recordings from 1970-1979. It is a compilation of tunes assembled from the beginning of the period where they dropped the word "Jazz" from the front of their name as a reaction to the harsh words the band received from jazz critics throughout the 1960s. Long before the tracks on this ...

Alley Cats

Alley Cats (1999) more music like this

by Gene Harris

Too many artists have gone their entire careers without providing any live albums, but that hasn't been a problem for Gene Harris whose live recordings from the 1980s and 1990s ranged from unaccompanied solo piano to big-band dates. Arguably, the best live album he gave listeners in the 1990s was Alley Cats; recorded live at Jazz Alley in Seattle ...

Connection

Connection (1972) more music like this

by Don Ellis

Don Ellis' Connection, issued in 1972, was a brazen attempt at swinging for the chart fences. Most of the tunes selected come right from the pop vernacular of the day. They range from a barnburning read of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's theme for "Jesus Christ Superstar" and a dirty funk approach to Carole King's "I Feel the Earth Move" to a ...

The Crusaders' Finest Hour (2000) more music like this

by The Crusaders

After a career that spanned the '60s with a number of releases on Pacific Jazz records as the Jazz Crusaders, the beginning of the '70s found the band dropping the jazz moniker from their name and moving toward the more commercially accessible pop/R&B crossover audience. These nine selections are taken from seven albums originally released on the ...

Rhino's Billboard Top Contemporary Jazz Vocals contains ten songs that were popular on smooth jazz and quiet storm during the late '70s and early '80s, just as the format was getting off the ground. For any aficionado of the genre, there will be no great surprises here, but there aren't any other compilations that offer such well-known hits -- ...

Jazz That Cooks (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

Jazz That Cooks is a solid sampler of modern-day soul-jazz, funky hard bop, and groove music, featuring artists like Charles Earland, Joey Defrancesco, Teddy Edwards, Irene Reid, Red Holloway, and more. It's pretty consistent throughout, making it a good basic introduction to these artists as well. Steve Huey, All Music Guide

Funky Organ: B-3 Jazz Grooves (2007) more music like this

Funky Organ: B-3 Jazz Grooves is a killer little comp of some truly bad-ass Hammond B-3 madness with music by Charles Earland, Bill Heid, Joey DeFrancesco, Mike LeDonne and Joey's pop, Papa John. This is stellar funky groove played out over 50 minutes with bass out no-holds-barred greasy goodness. Thom Jurek, All Music Guide

Soulful Grooves: R&B Instrumental Classics, Vol. 1 (1996) more music like this

Hip-O's Soulful Grooves, Vol. 1: R&B Instrumental Classics is an entertaining 14-track collection that contains both familiar and obscure soul, funk and soul-jazz songs from the late '60s and early '70s. The song selection doesn't necessarily hold together -- it's weird to have Cannonball Adderley's "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" flow into Jimmy Castor's ...

This CD contains selections from a triumphant Japanese tour which saw three-fourths of the original lineup augmented by such guest stars as guitarists Barry Finnerty and Roland Bautista, percussionist Rafael Cruz, and bassist Alphonso Johnson.

Jazz 101: Introduction to Soul Jazz (2000) more music like this

by Various Artists

A funky collection of some of Concord Jazz's down-and-dirtiest soul-jazz recordings. Standout tracks include the gritty "Listen Here" by Gene Harris and "Brother" Jack McDuff's juicy "Pork Chops & Pasta." A great introduction to soul-jazz, especially for the price. Zac Johnson, All Music Guide

The Golden Years (1992) more music like this

by The Crusaders

Issued in 1992, the first of GRP's Crusaders boxes deliberately limits its reach to a 20-year stretch, stopping just before the crucial departure of drummer Stix Hooper -- hence the arguably apt title The Golden Years. The three discs occasionally give us a good idea of the band's evolution from a fine Texas bop outfit to the soulful ...

BGP scoured far and deep for the 20 funk rarities (three previously unissued), spanning the mid-'60s to the late '70s, that comprise this CD. None of these artists made a notable splash as funk or soul artists, although a few -- Pee Wee Crayton, Preston Epps, Johnny Otis, and Joe Houston -- had early R&B/blues/rock hits in the 1950s and are ...
