Groovalicious.......2005-08-29

This is my fave Lou Donaldson disc, but not because of Lou (who's playing is so ultimately relaxed here that it almost falls off of Rudy Van Gelder's tape). For me, the album is really all about Lonnie Smith. On this particular session he was at his grooviest, peeling off one tasty riff after another. His cool yet smokin' touch on the B3 keeps everyone on track and in like-minded fashion. The underrated Blue Mitchell plays it from the soul this time around, all slippery funk/blues. It's also nice to have George Benson on board whipping up some classy licks of his own. Along with Idris Muhammad's understated beat, the entire crew is just so very locked into the mode that this short(36:10) but killer album is the very definition of "Blue Note Rare Groove". The tune "Bag of Jewels" really lives up to it's name, a groovy little track that is straight outa '68. Dig it!

This A'int Rock/Funk...It's Boogaloo.......2004-04-15

Lou, Lonnie,Idris, Blue, & G Benson. What more do you need to know?
Lou was most at home in an organ based setting, which showed off his melodic bop to best advantage.
It's like playing too much in tune see, fine in legit playing, but not on the bandstand.
There are a few in this series of Lou+organ, get them all.

Nice Album.......2003-10-22

This is worth 3.5 stars I think, and probably worth owning if you like jazz. The fourth track, "Bag of Jewels" doesn't rate much of a mention on the original sleave notes, but it is a totally cooking track. For me this one is the highlight of the album. Meanwhile the first three tracks seem pretty tame by comparison. The final track is rather interesting. The organ seems to steal the show on this whole album for me but maybe that is because there are so few examples of it around these days. Lou Donaldson's sax seems fairly constrained most of the way, but enjoyable to hear none the less. Overall this is an easy album to listen too, but it lacks a bit of spark and spontaneity on the first few tracks.

Classic Funky Soul Jazz w/ Lonnie, Idris and GB ! ! !.......2001-01-28

Featuring Lonnie Smith on the Organ, Idris Muhammad on Drums, Blue Mitchell on trumpet, and a young George Benson on guitar and recorded in '68, Midnight Creeper was one among a handful of albums w/ funky crossover tracks that Bluesy Charlie Parker disciple Lou Donaldson recorded in the late '60s. - - While Blue Note co-habitant Horace Silver and Riverside rival Cannonball Adderly explored the "straighter" sides of gospelly soul Jazz, it was the likes of Herbie Mann, Lou Donaldson and an entire school of Donaldson disciples like Big John Patton, Grant Green, Reuben Wilson and Lonnie Smith who all out embraced the James Brown school of funk, often taking the timeless 12 bar blues tradition of the B-3 (as interpreted by the likes of Jimmy Smith, Jack McDuff and Jimmy McGriff) and adding a latin tinged funk beat known as Boogaloo - - the rest is history.

Tunes on this album start with Midnight Creeper, built on Donaldson's famous Alligator Boogaloo format (which he claims was just nothing but a 12 bar blues with a good name !), the groovy yet gospelly Love Power, the Mellow and Jazzy Elizabeth, the Lonnie Smithish funkfest Bag of Jewels (if you dig it, check out Lonnie Smith's LIVE AT CLUB MOZAMBIQUE, MOVE YOUR HAND, as well as the music of Leon Spencer) and finally a funky blues grind 'n shuffle called Daper Dan.

Today a young generation of organists such as Adam Scone and Soulive have made efforts to pick up on this distinctly funky Blue Note sound, yet I'm sure you'll agree after getting wiped away by this classic soul Jazz recording, the Turbonator and Sweet Poppa will never be out done.

(P.S. If you're surprized to hear this young incarnation of George Benson giving Melvin Sparks a run for his money, check him out on the late great Jack McDuff's LIVE circa 1963 !)

Great Soul Jazz Re-issue.......2000-12-19

Probably the best of Lou Donaldson's backbeat-driven rock/funk recordings. With Melvin Sparks (guitar) and Idris Muhammad (drums). "Dapper Dan" is a King Curtis Tune.

Superb sax.......2000-11-02

Michael Paulo has a very special style...the tunes on this album are just superb. I first heard one of Michael's tunes on Smooth Jazz 94.7 The wave (here in LA), I liked it so much that I immediately bought this album. All the tracks are excellent. I particularly like "Heart of mine!", "Forever" and "Struttin with mama mae". This album is a must have.

A LOT OF MIDNIGHT PASSION............1999-12-26

Best sax release of the year. Millennium Swing does just that. Very passionate CD. I can't stop listening to it. It's been a while since the release of My Heart & Soul but well worth the wait.

A captivating sound.......1999-08-09

This is really great sax!!! Paulo creates a sound that absolutely captivated me. I heard him live in Orlando and loved his music and his spirit and his movements on the stage. Truly wonderful music.

Terrific! Buy it!.......1999-07-07

I am definitely a new fan of this artist! A terrific CD that it is most enjoyable and a pleasure to listen to. I am back at this site to purchase more of his music. My #1 saxman is Dave Koz and Michael Paulo is a definite second. Buy it, pour a glass of wine, and sit back and enjoy!

This 1991 release is from a very good funk/rap/rock band from Ohio. Sort of a cross between James Brown, Iggy Pop, The Kinks and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

A Pleasant Surprise!.......2002-12-06

This is a compilation comprised of artists with whom I was unfamiliar except for the Heath brothers and Phil Woods. All cuts except one are led by sax players and that, "Old Folks" by Ben Sidran, on piano and vocals, has a good alto sax solo by Richie Cole. It's a good mixture of ballads.....but these ballads have a real tendency to swing...which is to say it really is for jazz lovers. The liner notes state, and I've always subsribed to this, that the best way to judge a musician is to hear his interpretation of a ballad because of the emotional challenge involved.

Nine of the ten qualify as standards, the remaining one "Twee" being an original by tenor saxist Andy Sheppard. My favorites are "Autumn In New York", a great interpretation of a gorgeous melody played by tenor saxist Jimmy Heath, "In A Mellow Tone" by Courtney Pine , another tenor, simply because the tune is a personal favorite, and "The Very Thought Of You", tenor James Clay's interpretation of the lovely Ray Noble composition. Phil Wood's interpretation of "My Old Flame " also rates high. I've never heard Phil do a ballad that wasn't appealing and definitely jazz.

If you've had one of those "hard days"... and presently who hasn't..... listening to this will have a purgative effect to your mental state and leave you in a much better mood.

Robert Irving III - Midnight Dream.......2005-03-01

Robert Irving III's debutalbum is a smoking device in between Fusion and Funk-Soul. The keyboardplayer formerly with the Miles Davies Band delivers some very to the point compositions. Some instrumentals and some vocal tunes. Very well recorded and some of the vocalsongs could easily be hits in the R'n'B/Funk-Fusion/Soul area. Maybe some people that heard him with Miles Davies would prefer him to make an exclusive Fusion-Jazz album. I think that the mixes of styles on this album do work. Listen and enjoy!
