Album Description

From twisted hip hop bliss to one-man-band vinyl alchemy Madlib delivers yet another genre-exploding album, further proving that there is no end to Yesterday's Universe, nor the mind of Echo Park's illest. With this latest instrumental excursion, Madlib offers up a funky side project for his blunted-out, jazz-cat legions. He's put the curse on some of L.A.'s most in-demand session musicians and dubbed the resulting madness SOUND DIRECTIONS. Another chapter begins in the direction of sound.

be smart.......2006-12-27

i would like to point out that the way this cd sounds is clearly intentional. anybody who listens to "The Beat Konducta (movie scenes) would know that the sound is intentional. i personally cant get enough of the wavering sound. especailly the way some of his kick drums seem to suck all the sounds of the track down into a pit and the track comes back strong ("the payback").

Third Rate Review.......2006-04-09

Apparently reviewer Jeremy thinks Madlib is deaf. I, on the other hand, realize that Madlib CAN hear and that the "poorly-done compression" Jeremy perceives, was intended by the artist. Production is always a matter of taste. Just because Madlib's use of compression makes Jeremy "feel like his hearing is damaged" doesn't mean rational people can't enjoy the sound. Jeremy's complaint is entirely aesthetic.

Amazing Music; Third Rate Sound.......2006-01-22

First let me say that this is merely the observation I have of the CD I bought. If other copies don't do this, then I want to know and I'll exchange it. But I have a feeling this is actually as lame as I think it is.

ok, is it just me, or is there something seriously wrong with the sound on this cd? I own most of Madlib's releases, and in the past madlib has been guilty of adding so much compression to his drums and other tracks that the entire recording pumps (when compression is too high, it sounds like the volume ducks in and out, like when you cup your hands over your ears and release them rhythmically). But it's rarely very bad, and maybe only for a track or two. Most of the tracks on this album have so much poorly-done compression that the whole recording dips in and out, to the point where it feels like your hearing is damaged. This is not a matter of personal taste or recording aesthetics; It is a matter of a good recording versus a bad one, not a different one.

I recently saw a screening of an old film print of "North By Northwest" by Hitchcock in the theater. I was looking forward to seeing this classic on the big screen, but the sound cut in and out through a similar effect as on this album. It was so bad that many people left because they didn't want to have to keep jumping in their seat every time a spoken word became preposterously loud, or lean forward and strain when the dialogue became so quiet as to cease to be intelligible. This is what it's like to listen to "Sound Directions." Madlib shows himself to be a competent drummer, and I think overall the songs on this album are fantastic. In fact, if the sound was ok, I'd probably listen to this album a couple of times a day. But as is, it's one-third excitement and two-thirds disappointment. Someone as experienced in the studio should never let such a basic technical problem get that out of hand.

If you make music that's instrumental, you don't have lyrics to distract the listener from compositional, production-related, or performance-related letdowns. This album is essentially instrumental, and funky in the tradition of some of David Axelrod's and Herbie Hancock's work. Given that, I'll say that it is not a matter of personal taste that a listener, when listening to INSTRUMENTAL BREAKBEATS, would not only want the sound to be clear, but that the drums stay audible in the mix. Due to the compression problems, as well as plain old bad mixing, crucial instruments drop out at the most inappopriate and moodkillings moments.

So 4.5 to 5 stars for the musicicans and arrangements and Madlib as a composer, and 1 star for bad production and/or mastering.

I don't expect nor want every album I buy to sound as clear, brilliant and clean as Steely Dan's "Gaucho." But I DO expect, when I buy an album recorded in a studio on decent gear by an experienced producer, that the album doesn't have overriding and distracting production problems. You've heard recordings of your friend' bands in clubs that have occasionally been more coherent than a lot of this album.

Simply Superb .......2005-11-04

Jeremy is wrong. The reason why the compositions sound compressed is because they're not using a totally digital format of recording which sounds more like older recording albums, but I remind, whomever, that digital formats sound more mechanical and less human, so this album has a more human feel and is backed up by some great musicianship. There are a few songs that are hard on the ears, but with any great experimenter, you have to give them a break; they're creating something new, and so any listener should just open up to them. Trust me; they have a great sound that isn't matched by anyone of our generation.

A New Direction for the 'Yesterdays New Quintet' Brand???.......2005-10-28

Madlib has certainly been one of the pivotal forces behind the 'Stones Throw' label. He has been behind some of the best production efforts the label has had to offer. Remaining remarkably regular and consistent with his releases, he frequently produces under different names, enabling him to mess with various approaches, different ideas and styles, that some of his other aliases wouldn't allow for. Here he revisits his "Yesterdays New Quintet" project, which is predominately a Jazz-Funk, Jazz-Experimental project that took the instrumentation of Jazz and mixed slight traces of beats, and a strong emphasis toward the sort of soulful Fender Rhodes grooves that, were beginning to make their presence felt in the early 70's Jazz scene. And so what you were left with were beautifully angular sound drifting keyboards, confident improvisational pieces, and a meticulous attention to detail that was clearly a labour of love, and a project that is clearly a reference tribute to the music that inspires and influences Madlib.

Not everyone got (or indeed 'gets') "Yesterdays New Quintet", and some found the predominately instrumental takes on Jazz-infused grooves, a little wearing, and likened it to background music, with no real soul. So that might explain why this new album, although falling under the Yesterday's New Quintet umbrella, doesn't make direct references to the name, and it doesn't seem to be clearly labelled anywhere on the retail CD either. And it now means that this release takes on a far more upbeat and lively sound, that although in parts is still clearly the work of Madlib, and features tracks that easily sit within the Yesterdays New Quintet' name, now feature sounds and arrangements (and more importantly, ideas) that seem to be culled from his other production aliases (beat Conductor, Madlib), and livens an album that now isn't reliant on Jazz-Funk styled tracks, and now incorporates: leftfield funk, freewheeling instrumentals, Psychedelic Soul, celebratory breakbeats & progressive rare-groove, and as much as I love the first "Yesterdays New Quintet - Angles Without Edges" album, this is now a far more broad and eclectic sounding album, with a lot of the criticism of the first albums ponderous pace, now replaced with a wildly different tracks that have all been given the special Madlib touch, and so by skitting through vintage soul grooves, electronic freewheeling funk , and fusion-orientated Jazz breaks, that use horns, guitar, Rhodes keyboard, sampling, breaks, bass, organs, drums, into a gloriously messy collection of tracks that although never really gelling as a coherent album, make for a spectacularly thrilling sound, that'll attract the attention of anyone within listening distance. Madlib's skill at interpreting and arranging music that has influenced him, is staggeringly good, and justifies his reputation of one of the most gifted beat-constructors around.

In a strange way, this album feels like Madlib has drawn on the sounds and styles of all his aliases, and produced tracks that can (and do) work vaguely within the context of the Yesterday New Quintet name, and yet it does present a sound that although clearly a part continuation of Yesterdays New Quintet, is different enough to not really justify being considered 'just another' YNQ ('Yesterdays New Quintet') release. Perhaps this is why the album is more commonly called "Sound Directions", possibly signalling a new direction that he wants take the music. And this seems to be the sensible option, as there is a little bit too much Funk, and Beat-orientated tracks (as stunningly realised as they are), and leftfield Hip-Hop referencing, to really be considered a true YNQ release. And it'll possibly disappoint the Jazz Purists that be expecting more of the contemporary Jazz compositions (albeit with a decidedly abstract feel), that brought YNQ to their attention to the first place. (Although they will probably love his cover of "David Axelrod's - A Divine Image")

If you are considering buying this album, that I have to say that It's got to be a 'No-Brainer' purchase if you are a Madlib Fan. And so long as you understand that (A) this is prominently an instrumental album, (with the occasional sampled hollering), (B) It shifts between slow more cerebral subtly layered Jazz tracks, to energetic freewheeling imaginative breaks, Exuberant and Passionate electronic crossover funk, and organic jam-heavy soul-fusions. (C) is a relatively short album (40 minutes), (D) and if your a YNQ fan (like myself), be prepared to accept that although it does contain some of the mood and style of the YNQ Jazz-style sound, it now doesn't wholly make up the whole album. And you should be thinking more along the lines of it being a album that touches upon most of the production styles that Madlib has produced at one time or another. And to be completely honest....Who's going to have a probably with that???

This record is beautiful. Dejohnette is a true master in textures and this recording does him great justice. Indispensable!

A Great Live Recording.......2001-06-04

This is one of my five favorite recordings, because it is so inventive, and because it features sparse and unusual voicing. This group was recorded live in Willisau, Switzerland in June of 1979 after making only one studio album. DeJohnette, as leader, then folded the group to form Special Edition, a two-saxaphone quartet. Bad Move. New Directions features DeJohnette on Drums (with a lengthy Piano introduction on Bayou Fever), Eddie Gomez on bass, Lester Bowie on trumpet, and John Abercrombie, mostly playing a four-string "Mandolin Guitar" (but far from limiting him, this smaller instrument forces him to play simpler, stronger chords). Salsa For Eddie G opens with a gentle two-minute drum solo leading into a Spanish-style melody, and then explodes with Bowie's solo. Bayou Fever, the longest track at 18 minutes, opens with a beautiful piano solo by DeJohnette, who then accompanies Gomez as he solos. Gomez holds the tempo only on harmonics as DeJohnette moves from piano to drumset, inviting the rest of the group to begin. The piece flows through several moods, and you can hear the players interacting. At one point, they catch Abercrombie off cue, and even the audience laughs. The performance is made better by the excellent recording quality (DeJohnette's fingertip style of playing is clear, and Gomez has beautiful tone). Bowie is clearly the star of this record, playing with wit and feeling, warbling and howling, and knowing when to lay out. The final tune "Multo Spiliagio" (Italian for "all mixed up") fades out, leaving the listener to wonder where the performance went. This was a great group in a great performance. I'd love to hear the rest of the show.

The Meters' Last Album.......2000-09-18

Finally released on CD, this reissue of the Meters' last lp is rather disappointing. This is no longer the greatest funk band on the planet. There are good moments--"Give it What You Can", "My Name up in Lights", "Funkify Your Life"--that make it worth a listen. The Tower of Power horns add punch to the open, behind the beat grooves that made The Meters enjoyable for so many years. But, on the whole, the songs just aren't that good. The cover of Peter Tosh's "Stop that Train" doesn't add anything to the original. "Be My Lady", a love ballad, isn't particularly inspiring. "No More Okey-Doke" is a somewhat infectious melody, but lyrically confusing. What exactly are they talking about? In the old days, their songs made sense: "Fire on the Bayou", "Africa", "Hey Pocky Way". If the lyrics were silly it didn't matter because the groove was just so undeniably funky that nothing else mattered. On this recording, it's a given that the lyrics will be just this side of puerile--and the music only occasionally makes you think twice. Why this album was called New Directions is beyond me. It continues the downward trend begun with the previous year's Trick Bag.

Another journey into the Stellar Regions.......2002-09-16

After John Coltrane's death, the members of his last group started recording under their own name. While the cosmic jazz of Pharoah Sanders and Alice Coltrane's albums is clearly under the spell of J.C., it's much tamer (and to many, more digestible) than the uncompromising intensity of Interstellar Space or Live in Japan.

Rashied Ali chose not to go that route. Instead, this album continues where the '66-'67 Coltrane group left off and provides over 40 minutes of intense free jazz. Fred Simmons's piano playing has that same unsettled feeling that Alice Coltrane provided, while Carlos Ward's intense improvisations on alto and flute are evocative of the master. Rashied Ali's drumming is magnificent, providing every bit of the "multidirectional pulse" that he showcased on Interstellar Space.

This CD is highly recommended to any fan of John Coltrane's last recordings. Be aware that there are lengthy bass and drum solos, and that the sound quality is mediocre.

In the 1960s, jazz musicians signed to the Blue Note label often appeared on each other's albums in various all-star groupings. Then the tradition faded--at least until the late 1990s. New Directions revives the tradition, featuring several of Blue Note's brightest stars--vibraphonist Stefon Harris, pianist Jason Moran, tenor saxophonist Mark Shim, and (relative veteran and nominal group leader) alto saxophonist Greg Osby--reinterpreting classic material drawn from the Blue Note archives. While the choices lean toward the boogaloo side of the catalog--Lee Morgan's "The Sidewinder," Horace Silver's "Song for My Father," Joe Henderson's "Recorda Me"--the arrangements are closer in the spirit to the cool cerebralism of Wayne Shorter. Moran is the most immediately original of the young players here; check for his inside-out solo on "Sidewinder" and the piano-vibes duet on Sam Rivers's "Beatrice." But the unsung heroes of the session are bassist Tarus Mateen and drummer Nasheet Waits, who play hot and cool, hip-hop and postbop, all in the same blue note. --Rick Mitchell

Customer Reviews:

Accurate Title: New Directions for Old Tunes.......2004-10-28

This is (was) a very young band of very hot players. I recommend it highly both to listeners with a broad background in jazz and to those without. Those with a background will recognize all the tunes: Song for My Father, Recorda Me, Beatrice, Three Way Split, etc. They are all great jazz tunes, redone in a hip style. Those without a background will encounter a set of great compositions, played in a very engaging manner. The rhythm section grooves--hear especially the odd time-feeling of Recorda Me--the soloists are hot, and most of all the arrangements are novel and exciting. Greg Osby's alto playing is great, and the piano playing of Jason Moran is a special highlight. It is a CD that you can easily listen to many times over. I recommend it.

New hope for the future of jazz........2001-02-26

The past couple of years, the year 2000 especially, have been a boon for the jazz fan. A swell in long out of print classics being reissued, a major televised documentary on the history of the artists and music that put jazz back in public eye but was a mixed success to the hard core fan, vital new music from legendary veterans such as Roy Haynes, Sonny Rollins, Andrew Hill, and Dave Holland, and a string of fantasic cds by "a new generation" of muscians like the men featured on this cd give the jazz fan a new hope for the art form's future. The lineup is packed with exciting young talent lead by the "elder statesman" of the group Greg Osby on alto with Mark Shim on tenor, Stefon Harris on vibraphone, the talented Jason Moran on piano, Tarus Mateen on bass, and Nasheet Waits on drums. "New Directions" harkens back to the classic era of Blue Note sessions that often saw the lable's stars performing on each other's albums. While this cd may not be up to the calibre of the original releases that featured much of the material performed here, it is a solid work with many refreshing outlooks on some of the classics of Blue Note's past. Nowhere on this cd is that more obvious than on Osby's skewered arrangement of Lee Morgan's "The Sidewinder". Osby somehow managed to take the boogaloo classic, twist it so that it sounds like a soundtrack from a fevered dream, and still have it drive and swing as hard as the original. "The Sidewinder" also features a fantasic solo by the young and exciting Jason Moran. This is a great cd as an introduction to the individual musicans as well as a fine set of music on it's own, and has left this listener excited for more music by these rising stars.

Solid Arrangements of Standard Blue Note Tunes.......2000-07-29

I've become a true Greg Osby fan. This year he issued two albums, "Invisible Hand" and "New Directions". "New Directions" is superior, in my view. Mr. Osby is quickly becoming (if not already) one of the most innovative and influential musicians of our generation. He possesses a warm, confident tone, and his phrasings and timing are unorthodox but impeccable. As a result, he has developed a distinct voice.

Although I consider him an "outside" player (sometimes playing notes outside of the scales normally associated with the chord changes), he always has a tonal center and therefore always sounds musical and makes sense. My criticism of many "outside" players is that they sometimes lack a tonal center and wander as if they don't know what they are doing. By contrast, Greg Osby is consistently innovative, and his unorthodox interpretations bring new life to otherwise standard tunes.

This album demonstrates his excellent abilities both as an arranger and improviser. The group of musicians, most notably Stefon Harris, are top-notch. This CD has a well-conceived and executed concept.

Concept of honor holds venture in right direction.......2000-06-04

The concept of young cats playing the Jazz signature tunes of remembrance, Is not of Infant eyes,yet I must give respect and honor to any of the young cats playing this music. With this In mind and a list of classic signature cuts that cant go In the wrong direction, this recording manages to show moments of solid playing, yet It falls short on many of the tunes, the solos sometime lack confidence and go through the motions of improvisation, It lacks the power and virtousity of fellow cds released by Terence Blanchard and Nicholas Payton, yet Its concept and choice of tunes keep this cd from being a recording of minor league level.

Roy Tyler sings on two cds by Gospel Hummingbirds. This is his solo cd debut. The disc is produced by Jimmy Pugh, from Robert Cray's band. One track is produced by Raphael Saadiq of Tone Tone Toni, whom Roy has known for years. Another track features another old friend Clarence Fountain of Blind Boys. Roy is originally from rural Louisiana but has been based in Oakland for many years. He is also influenced by O.V.Wright. It's a very strong cd, sadly obscure.

One quick martini and I'll be on my way..........2007-07-23

I have had a song in my head for far too many years, my sister had this folk album that she played all the time and I came to love one of the songs, years have passed and she couldn't remember which of her albums it was...I thought it was The Modern Folk Quartet and they were out of print until recently and so I ordered a MFQ recording but that illusive sone was not on there...sounded like "Scotch and Soda", the Kingston Trio recording, but this was a prettier ballad.Last month I order The Journeymen, because I loved John Phillips and Scott McKenzie went on to the MFQ and to record... "Come to San Francisco and wear some flowers in your hair". And there on this terrific recording from 1963 is the long sought after and still great ballad; "One Quick Martini". Eureka!The Journeymen were just one of a truckload of young men and women who performed while Folk was the rage...Chad Mitchell Trio, Brothers Four, Roof Top Singers The Terriers et al., but The Journeymen stood out for they had a great blend of voices and songwriting talent and it shows in this recording; New Directions in Folk Music. Their reditions of "San Francisco Bay" and "Ja Da" capture that rollicking spirit that the New Directions were headed toward. I listen to this album often now and I am happy to be reunited with , One Quick Martini...and now I'll be on my way.

1963 Folk Set Still Sounds Super.......2004-11-17

"New Directions in Folk Music" came out in 1963 with John Phillips before the Mamas & the Papas and Scott McKenzie before "If you're going to San Francisco be sure to wear some flowers in your hair." The Journeymen's blend of voices is still moving 4+ decades after the original Capitol release. Collectors' Choice has done a good job of technically reproducing the disc. The harmonies on "All the Pretty Little Horses" blend seamlessly on this lullaby. "San Francisco Bay Blues" quickens the tempo with the lads setting toes to tapping, "I ain't got a nickel & ain't got a lousy dime; If she don't come back, I believe I'll lose my mind." "Ja-Da" is a sweet shoe shuffling melody with the harmonies filling this bit of razzle-dazzle. John Phillips' "Ben & Me" has some jangling acoustic guitars and a hint of darkness within the melody. My very favorite track is the lounge style "One Quick Martini" also written by John Phillips, "Let's not pretend that we're lovers meeting in some dim cafe. Let's not pretend that there are others making love the same silly way." Ian Tyson of Ian & Sylvia wrote "Four Strong Winds," which receives an excellent reading here from the Journeymen. Of the 7 bonus tracks added to the original release, "Rag Mama Rag" boasts a great washboard rhythm. "San Francisco Bay Blues" gets a silly kazoo arrangement. "Virgin Mary" is a sweet spiritual that could fit on a Christmas collection. "Greenland Whale Fisheries" is a hearty sailing ballad. The Armstrong floor commercial that ends the disc is an interesting timepiece. This collection is a welcome re-release from one of the eras great folk trios. Enjoy!
