CD Reviews

A gift, indeed!

(4 out of 5 stars)

"mr. newman came to prominence back in the 60s as a leader in the soul jazz trend with players like brother jack mcduff, etc., and he still has that soulful fire some thirty years later. this album features him on flute, tenor, and alto sax and has a fine supporting cast of players. with age, mr. newman has mellowed to a degree and sounds a bit more boppish than on some of his early records on atlantic ( a key reissue to explore is "that's mr. fathead" on 32 jazz). this set swings from the outset and mr. newman provides excellent work on flute. listen for the ballads--here is where the sweet soul still shines through, evoking a warm night, candlelight, and the person you love. get this album, you will enjoy a session by seasoned master."
