About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Jazz
- Description: J A M E S W E I D M A N biography Described by New York Times jazz critic Nate Chinen as 'a pianist with a broad résumé and a graceful style', James Weidman decorates a song like many decorate the favorite room in their house-one carefully-chosen piece at a time. As one of the world's top side man, he has played and recorded with musicians as diverse as Joe Lovano, Steve Coleman, Sonny Stitt, and Jay Hoggard. He has also been the accompanist of choice for some of the world's most celebrated singers, including legendary jazz vocalist Abbey Lincoln and Cassandra Wilson. Clearly, Weidman -- described by jazz critic Ben Ratliff as playing 'smoothly and decorously' behind Lincoln at a recent reunion concert -- is one those rare accompanists to whom singers feel it is safe to give free rein.James is also a gifted teacher, and currently works with aspiring musicians at William Paterson University. With the of his second solo album, appropriately entitled 'All About Time',Weidman looks set to strut his stuff and take his place among the world's top bandleaders. 'When I first moved here, someone said to me 'Be careful in New York. They'll typecast you!'' laughs Weidman, whose incredible versatility -- developed over 30 years of working in a myriad of styles -- has made that impossible. 'The more genres you are comfortable with, the deeper your understanding of music,' he asserts. It has helped Weidman to develop his amazing technique and, as he imparts to his students (he is a faculty member at William Paterson, New Jersey), 'the better your technique, the better your communication.' However, the content of the communication is the most important thing. 'You're really telling a story to your audience,' he says. 'It's a shared journey. That's why I called my first solo album People Music, because we are all supposed to share this music.' A native of Youngstown, Ohio, Weidman

Recording sessions took place between December 1978 and June 1979 at Allen Zentz Recording, Westlake Recording Studios, and Cherokee Studios in Los Angeles, California. Jackson collaborated with a number of other writers and performers such as Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder and Rod Temperton. Five singles were released from the album.
