CD Reviews

This is what I love about samplers

Charles Koeppen | New York | 06/13/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The title is misleading. Not the Cool Jazz part, but the Cocktail Hour part. This isn't lounge music. Look at the lineup. Ed Kelly with Pharoah Sanders, Sun Ra, and... well... a bunch of musicians I never heard of before. But they're all dynamite. This is a CD full of the best tracks from some of the best musicians. The CD starts off with a somewhat funky composition by a band apparently led by Ed Kelly (electric piano) and featuring Pharoah Sanders. Not typical stuff for Pharoah but it's nice. Next up is Sun Ra who gets one of those Afro grooves going with bari sax mixed way up front. The recording levels on each instrument are a bit unusual, but I like the effect. Toss in a New Orleans-style sounding horn section for Micheal Ray & the Cosmic Krewe's "Beans and Rice", a bit of sophisticated jazz singing by Carmen Bradford over a swinging big band where the tenor sax soloist is no slouch, repeat and add an Afro-Caribean sounding track by Babatunde Lea, a charged up big band track by David Hardiman and you've got what I love about sampler CDs. Now I'm turned onto a bunch of musicians I wasn't aware of before plus have one very listenable CD. I'm happy I found this one."
