2452	A LA CARTE BRASS & PERCUSSION	BOOGEYIN'!	14.10.95	A La Carte serves up a New Orleans street band marinated with a hot salsa percussion section. The brass section stomps like the Dirty Dozen and moans like a Bourbon Street funeral. Led by Santana s Gali Sanchez, the percussion anchors the celebration with impact and fire. A La Carte s repertoire is a danceable mixture of jazz and pop everything from a funk and salsa rendition of Papa Was A Rolling Stone to Lee Morgan s Sidewinder .
4752	A LA CARTE BRASS & PERCUSSION	GO-GO & GUMBO, SATCHMO'N SOUL	27.09.97	They do hits by P-Funk, Ray Charles, J.J. Johnson, the Meters and Dizzy. Singer Chuck Brown returns, and is joined by Little Feat s Shaun Murphy. They front 4 trumpets, 2 trombones, saxes, sousaphone, didgeridoo, Hammond B3 organ, timbales, bongos, congas, timbales, claves and drums. The sound is enormous, with the warm ambience of a Havana dance hall. Mix up a strong batch of sangria and kick your heels up to Alligator Boogaloo , St. James Infirmary Blues or Little Sunflower .

4132.2	Arc Choir	Walk With Me	24.06.97	Thirty-two voices strong, the Addicts Rehabilitation Center Choir is burning-with-faith gospel from Harlem.
8632.2	Asante / Gonzalez,Benito	Bringing the Flame Home: From Havana to Africa	09.10.01	Asante danced and drummed the length of my studio filled wall-to-wall with his 85 hand drums, African xylophones, gongs, whatnot. Ghana s most respected National Drummer, Asante plays all parts of a traditional African five-man drum group by himself a first. I love the rain forest atmosphere of his compositions, the melodies he weaves, his dramatic segués from whisper-quiet to full thunder. On two cuts a pair of jazzmen, Plunky on sax and Doug Carns on piano, enrich the power of Asante s story-telling.

7832.2	McCloud,Andy	Blues for Bighead	14.11.00	Andy first caught my ear with a down-in-the-gutter blues solo. Then and now, Andy can play some blues. Even better, he s a hell of a composer. With these strengths, he picked three of New York s top jazz guys to form the Gentlemen of Jazz. Steve Nelson s on vibes he is the bluesiest, most soulful vibist I ve heard since Milt Jackson. McCoy Tyner s great altoist, Joe Ford, is endlessly inventive. And Victor Jones drums are fiery and splashy. Their solos really knock me out.
