EDDIE HINTON – VERY EXTREMELY DANGEROUS
Eddie Hinton's name has been one to drop in recent years as
the popularity of Southern Soul has grown and grown. He featured in the studio
credits of countless hit records cut in Muscle Shoals, Alabama between 1967 and
1971, playing lead guitar in the rhythm section. He was on sessions for albums
by Aretha Franklin (This Girl s In Love With You), Wilson Pickett (Right On),
Solomon Burke, Joe Tex and many others including Percy Sledge, for whom Eddie
wrote top 40 hit Cover Me, and when singing I ll Take You There, Mavis Staples
calls Come on Eddie... , it's Mr Hinton doing the guitar-picking. Includes: You
Got Me Singing; Concept World; I Got The Feeling; Shout Bamalama; Get Off In It;
Brand New Man; Shoot The Moon; We Got It; Yeah Man; and I Want It All.
WILLIE JONES III - GROUNDWORK
Highly accomplished modern jazz drummer, Willie Jones III,
leads an all-star group on Groundwork, his latest album. Jones, who 'never
fails to assemble a strong crew' (NY Times) convenes living legends Buster
Williams (bass) and Eddie Henderson (trumpet), jazz virtuoso Eric Reed (piano)
and rising stars Warren Wolf (vibes) and Stacy Dillard (saxophones). Willie
Jones III explores the soulful side of jazz, performing tunes by his former employer
and great influence Cedar Walton, and debuting new arrangements of tunes by
Eric Reed, Buster Williams and more. Groundwork key tracks include the title
tune and 'Hindsight,' both by Cedar Walton. Eric Reed's 'New Boundary' is a
tribute to modern jazz musician Dwayne Burno; the song title is an anagram of
the late great bassist's name. Throughout his career, Willie Jones III has lent
his supple rhythm and buoyant spirit to artists like Cedar Walton, Milt
Jackson, Horace Silver, Sonny Rollins and Roy Hargrove. Today, he continues to
become one of jazz music's most sought out bandleaders.
