Product Description

In the contemporary jazz world - where guitars and saxes currently reign supreme - flutist Bradley Leighton brings a fresh, new voice to this popular genre of music. Upbeat, funky urban grooves and teh soulful, mellow sound of his alto flute combine to make this collection of tunes a refreshing change of pace in a sometimes mundane and perfunctory genre.

Customer Reviews:

The Funk Revisited.......2006-12-01

With the release of the new Album "East Coast Project" with Jason Miles coming in 2007, I decided to revisit Bradley Leighton's early 2006 release "Back to the Funk". To hear a flutist take lead on this project brings back fond memories of Dave Valentin, Yusef Lateef, Bobbi Humphrey, Herbie Mann, Hubert Laws, Alexander Zonjic, Frank Wess and others back in the day. Bradley engineers a refreshing blend of old school and new school contemporary (funk) jazz.

I agree with the Pacific Coast Jazz press release which stated: "Back To The Funk's robust horn arrangements ricochet off of slamming funk beats while his alto flute angelically rises above the gritty grooves on tracks like `Runaway,' `Clear Blue Skies' and the title cut. Leighton chills on sensual mid-tempo trysts such as `Midnight Affairs' and `Soul Moon.' Strolling back in time, Leighton dusted off three gems to revisit: Stevie Wonder's "Love Light In Flight," Ray, Goodman & Brown's `Special Lady' and Bread's soulful `Make It With You,' which were deep fried in a vat of funk. Real guitar, bass, drums, and plenty of sax, trumpet and trombone help give the record an authentic, warm feel. "

With that said, whether you are a jazz enthusiast, funk master extraordinaire or R&B listener, you will enjoy this visit "Back To The Funk", I sure did. ~the JazzeOne

Soulful and Beautiful.......2006-07-03

I really love this CD. Leighton's alto flute gives such a rich lush sound to these tunes, particularly the pop renditions I Want to Make it With You, Love Light in Flight, and Special Lady. His playing blends so beautifully with the horns and the rhythm section. If you grew up with Tower of Power and Earth Wind and Fire, you will love this CD.

Smooth and Funky.......2006-02-12

I've never heard him do anything funky but he did this time. This is a "groovy" cd. From start to finish I thought everything was fantastic. I even liked some of the programmed drums. However, there was actually a drummer on this one. The accompanying artists were great. The sound of the funky trombone and soulful trumpet along with Bradley's flute makes some cool sounds. This cd is very different from his other works. I really enjoyed this one. I hope he does something similar in the future. Check this one out and you will be grooving with some smooth funky jazz. The Stevie Wonder cut, Love light in flight is a smash.

Album Description

"I Used To Be..." is an artfully captured collection of personal insights and reflections spanning Gail's songwriting archives of the past 18 years. Her compositions range from rock, to funk, to country, and pop in it's purest sense. The album, in addition to Gail's stellar vocal, guitar and bass performances features Catherine Russell from the Bowie band, The B-52's drummer Zach Alford (previously of David Bowie band) and a host of renowned musicians from Gail's Woodstock, NY community. "I Used to Be" features two collaborations between Gail Ann Dorsey and Roland Orzabal of Tears for Fears: "Be My Angel" and "Whether You are the One."

Customer Reviews:

It's Beautiful!.......2006-06-06

This is such a great album - the lyrics are positive and insightful, Gail's voice is hearty and somewhat soulfull, and the music is upbeat and beautiful. The songs put you in a good mood no matter what :) If you listen to any Lite FM type radio stations, then this album is right for you.

look what the universe can do.......2005-01-29

This stellar musician moves deftly between different genres and bestows upon each song alternately delicate and rocking touches.
The woman has mastered the tools of voice and bass and keeps pushing them to further degrees.

MS. Dorsey is one of those rare musicians who brings such depth and new life through vocals and bass guitar. Someone of this exceptional caliber gives justice to the notion of being "touched by God." Genius permeates her work at almost every step.

This accomplished disc is diverse and multifaceted with infinite textures to be enjoyed over and over again. The songs are rich and enduring.

Those of us who have followed her through the years (for me it was TFF through all the Bowie years) have been won over for some time. It's nice to see her shine all on her own.

gail ann dorsey.......2004-07-07

Gails new cd " i used to be" was so moving. I only have a few cd's and i am glad this is one of them. My favorite song is "Nether Land". I love it

Gail is amazing!.......2004-05-26

I bought this record from the merch booth at the David Bowie tour and I LOVE IT! It has such a great vibe to it and Gail's music is so beautiful. "This Time" (track 2) is my favorite track. The song is so soothing and I play it in my car all the time on the way to work (and then bring the CD inside so I can listen at my desk). I definitely recommend this album to anyone who knows of Gail or has seen her at a Bowie show. Even if you haven't seen her yet, it is a GREAT buy.

Rufus Blaq flows with a style all his own.......1998-08-22

The first time I heard Rufus Blaq was on a video and I heard the voice first. His voice is what makes him so original. Rufus is hard, but smoothed out as well. A sound for sore hip-hop ears.

rufus blaq clearly represents Youngstown,OH to the fullest!!.......1998-05-21

This album has it all. Rufus Blaq has a spectacular voice. If you have not heard this album yet, I greatly reccomend it! Credientals gives you a nice serving of hip-hop music. This album is great to play in your car, your home, and at the best of clubs. Y-town loves Rufus Blaq! Don't waist any more time reading this review, go out and get Credientals now!

Album Description

I STRUCK GOLD marks an auspicious new partnership, both professional and personal, between folk veteran Charlie King (vocals, guitar, harmonica) and relative newcomer Karen Brandow (vocals, guitar). Charlie and Karen's repertoire here covers three continents, two languages, and more than forty years of song selections, performed here with sweet harmonies and vibrant musicianship.

The duo's debut CD features songs about love, labor, and social justice, conveyed with passion, sincerity and humor. Among its highlights are the lovely Malvina Reynolds composition, "I Cannot Sleep" (with Charlie and Karen trading lines in English and Spanish), the exuberant title track, and "Que Sera de Mis Hermanos," a haunting song of exile about the US-backed coup in Chile. King and Brandow also target American follies in the defiant "Wal-Mart Union Gonna Rise Again"; "Tinky Winky" chides Jerry Falwell and turns darker with a pointed reference to gay martyr Matthew Shepard; "Barney" chronicles a laughable mishap at the 1997 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, when the giant purple dinosaur's float ran amok. Two songs by the late and much-missed Steve Goodman are also performed - the ruefully good-natured "The One That Got Away" and the starkly tragic "The Ballad of Penny Evans."
