Victor Goines Quartet - New Adventures - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Martin Rost - Romantic Organ 4 [COMPACT DISCS] date 03/26/1996

On his Criss Cross debut New Adventures, Victor Goines, a long standing member of the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra and Director of the Jazz Department at New York's prestigious Juilliard School of Music, presented his swaggering, romantic approach to the tenor saxophone and his pure melodic concept on the soprano. On Love Dance, the excellent follow-up, joined by pianist Peter Martin, bassist Reuben Rogers and drummer Greg Hutchinson, each an A-lister of modern swing, Goines focuses more on the clarinet, which he plays with assured virtuosity and creative flair. He developed an international reputation on the instrument during his tenure with the Wynton Marsalis Septet, but also uncorks a series of authoritative tenor improvisations.

AWAY WE GO! Is the 11th album from Caspar Babypants (aka Chris Ballew from the Seattle rock and roll band The Presidents of the United States of America) and is full of super fun sing along good time music for the whole family to enjoy together. As with all the Caspar Babypants albums the energy on the album goes from upbeat and fun at the beginning to sleepy and mellow at the end. The hope is that the music will help engage and then relax your kids and you so that you can recharge yourselves. AWAY WE GO! Is ready to take you on a bouncy musical trip and then drop you off in a relaxing place when you are through. Simple acoustic instruments and thoughtful arrangements will engage the kids and the parents alike so clear space for a dance floor and enjoy!
