Various Artists - California Concert

Various Artists -][- California Concert: The Hollywood Palladium – [SONY MASTERWORKS, 2010]

With CTI Records having gone independent in 1970, founder Creed Taylor celebrated the early success of the label with a one night only concert at the Hollywood Palladium on July 18, 1971.

Taylor handpicked a dream team of CTI artists for California Concert: The Hollywood Palladium, with GEORGE BENSON on guitar, FREDDIE HUBBARD on trumpet, HUBERT LAWS on flute, STANLEY TURRENTINE on tenor saxophone, HANK CRAWFORD on alto saxophone, JOHNNY HAMMOND on organ and electric piano, RON CARTER on bass, BILLY COBHAM on drums and AIRTO MOREIRA on percussion.

California Concert: The Hollywood Palladium is newly remastered from the original two-track analog tapes and is the most complete version of the legendary concert ever released. This 2-CD set doubles the content of the original five-song LP release with five additional tracks – three of them previously unreleased – and restores the original concert sequence for the first time.

Disc: 1

1. Impressions (previously unreleased)
2. Fire And Rain
3. Red Clay
4. Blues West
5. So What (previously unreleased)

Disc: 2

1. Here’s That Rainy Day
2. It’s Too Late
3. Sugar
4. Leaving West
5. Straight Life (previously unreleased)

Greeting’s fellow jazz aficionados, I’m back in the mix with another tantalizing yet satisfying blend of original jazz that’s shaken and stirred to perfection from the shelves of “Flux Music Essentials.”

Roberto Occhipinti - Yemaya

Roberto Occhipinti -||- Yemaya – [Alma Records, 2008]

Bassist Roberto Occhipinti was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada March 25, 1955. He comes from a prominent musical family that includes two guitarists; younger brother Michael and cousin David. Michael Occhipinti is a well known sideman and co-founder of NOJO – the Neufeld-Occhipinti Jazz Orchestra.

At the University of Toronto, beginning in 1972, Roberto Occhipinti studied under Thomas Monohan, was mentored by Joel Quarrington and especially the acclaimed jazz bassist Dave Young. He was a member of the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra in the mid-70s, the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra in the early-to-mid ’80s, the Canadian Opera Company Orchestra in the mid-to-late ’80s, was principal bassist with the Esprit Orchestra from 1986 to 1994, and long standing member of Arraymusic from 1979-2000. –Michael G.

Issued in January 1978 on Columbia JC 35022 in the USA, “Say It With Silence” is a less well-known jazz-funk flute-driven soul LP – and now this superb sounding November 2008 remaster finally makes it available – albeit as a limited edition CD import from Japan (Sony Music SICP 2122).

As you can see from the short playing time, it’s a bare-bones reissue of the album with no extras or outtakes and the booklet is basic – functional at best. It is REMASTERED however – and beautifully so – very subtle, really warm and with virtually no hiss on any of the tracks. And when the sound needs muscle, the mastering has it – a sweet, sweet transfer and a great job done.
