Michal Urbaniak, FUSION III

Michal Urbaniak -][ FUSION III –Mp3– [Ubx Records, 2008] –

Very engaging and funky fusion disc from 1975, featuring not only Urbaniak’s soaring gypsy drenched violin but also the other-worldly vocalese of his then-wife Ursula Dudziak (quite an original vocal artist in her own right).

The songs combine a lot of playfully twisty be-bop like melody lines with rip-snorting funk, chiming electric pianos and fiery rock sensibilities, particularly the searing guitars of John Abercrombie (check out the spine-chilling solo on “Metroliner”) and Larry Coryell (who seriously rocks out on “Bloody Kishka”). plus a killer rhythm section of bassist Anthony Jackson with drummers Steve Gadd and Gerry Brown. -[Excerpt | Customer Review | Amazon]-

African American, Anthony Jackson, Bass, Jazz, Yiorgos Fakanas

Hello everyone, back with you to share with you what’s new and upcoming jazz releases. On today, I’m featuring the long anticipated release by unsung bassist Anthony Jackson along with his and producer/bassist Yiorgos Fakanas on Jackson’s debut recording “Interspirit.” Fusion fans who consistently hunger for challenging music will find this project more then fascinating, provocative and definitely satisfying to the discriminating souls … —Rob Young

Anthony Jackson & Yiorgos Fakanas - Interspirit

Anthony Jackson and Yiorgos Fakanas | Interspirit – [AbstractLogix, 2010]

WITH INTERSPIRIT, ANTHONY JACKSON MAKES HIS LONG-AWAITED SOLO DEBUT WITH COLLEAGUE YIORGOS FAKANAS.

For over 40 years Anthony Jackson has been the bassist’s bassist; the man most admired by his peers for his groundbreaking groove work in jazz and pop with the likes of Billy Paul, the O’Jays, Buddy Rich, Roberta Flack, Chaka Khan, Chick Corea, Steely Dan, Donald Fagen, Paul Simon, Al DiMeola, Nancy Wilson, George Benson, Quincy Jones, Steve Khan’s Eyewitness, Luther Vandross, Lee Ritenour, Michel Petrucciani, Pat Metheny, Michel Camilo, Mike Stern and Wayne Krantz. Jackson’s conception and invention of the 6-string contrabass guitar led to further lauding from his low-end colleagues and resulted in the global standardization of extended-range basses, changing the sound of contemporary music from the bottom up. Additionally, Anthony’s landmark use of a pick and phase shifter on the O’Jays’ smash, “For the Love of Money,” revealed a unique sound and approach that remains one of his signatures. About the only milestone missing from Jackson’s remarkable career is a feature album. Being neither a composer, nor known for taking solos, however, Anthony has resisted countless offers (beginning with one from Quincy Jones in 1978). Until now.
