Leaving This Planet

Leaving This Planet (1973) more music like this

by Charles Earland

A definite departure from the type of earthy, groove-oriented soul-jazz he usually embraced, Leaving This Planet is perhaps Charles Earland's most ambitous album -- not necessarily his best, but certainly his most surprising. Responding to the fusion revolution, Earland plays keyboards and various synthesizers in addition to his usual Hammond B-3 ...

Jazz Organ Summit

Jazz Organ Summit (1998) more music like this

by Charles Earland

When four masters of the Hammond B-3 are on the same bill, it's a major event for lovers of soul-jazz and hard bop organ. Charles Earland is listed the leader, but the Philadelphia native is only one of four organists who take the spotlight on this superb live date, which was recorded at the DuSable Museum of African-American History in Earland's ...

The Prestige Records Story

The Prestige Records Story (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

Like most of the now-prized jazz labels, Prestige Records sprang from the vision of one man - a 20-year-old kid, actually - named Bob Weinstock, who guided the label from its infancy in 1949 until 1971 when he sold out to Fantasy. Although Prestige continued to record for awhile after 1971, Fantasy chose to survey only the Weinstock years in this ...

Funk Fantastique

Funk Fantastique (2004) more music like this

by Charles Earland

Although Funk Fantastique is a somewhat thrown-together affair, the music presented on the album represents solid work by organist/keyboardist Charles Earland and company. The material at the center of the album (tracks four through seven) was originally released as Charles III in 1972, and the surrounding tracks are previously unreleased. Since ...

Intensity

Intensity (1972) more music like this

by Charles Earland

Even if the performances on Intensity weren't excellent, this Charles Earland session would be required listening for jazz historians because it marked the last recorded documentation of Lee Morgan. Only two days after Intensity was recorded at Rudy Van Gelder's famous New Jersey studio on February 17, 1972, the influential trumpeter was shot and ...

Charles Earland in Concert: Live at the Lighthouse/Kharma

Charles Earland in Concert: Live at the Lighthouse/Kharma (2002) more music like this

by Charles Earland

This two-fer CD pairs 1972's Live at the Lighthouse with the less impressive, though still worthy, 1974 album Kharma, which was recorded at that year's Montreux Jazz Festival. As the head of a sextet on Live at the Lighthouse, Earland spearheaded some first-class soul-jazz, which integrated some funk and rock of the early '70s without sounding ...

Cookin' with the Mighty Burner

Cookin' with the Mighty Burner (1999) more music like this

by Charles Earland

Organist Earland is known far and wide as one of the more inventive, awe-inspiring, soul-sending practitioners of the B-3. On this set, he still sounds like the man to beat, but in many instances he instead allows his bandmates to shine. Those mates include younger firebrands (trumpeter Jim Rotundi and saxophonist Eric Alexander), as well as ...

Jazz for When You're in Love

Jazz for When You're in Love (2000) more music like this

by Various Artists

The Jazz For... compilation series from 32 Jazz is not only a tremendous marketing idea -- helping match classic music to the listener's mood and lifestyle -- but also a way to experience the timeless power of a bygone day in jazz. As might be expected for a collection centering on romance, this 13-song gathering tends to focus on the smoky, cool ...

Kickin' the 3: The Best of Organ Trio Jazz

Kickin' the 3: The Best of Organ Trio Jazz (1997) more music like this

by Various Artists

The 13 performances on this 1998 CD sampler feature a variety of the top jazz organists of the previous 40 years on selections (all easily available elsewhere) leased from Telarc, Fantasy, Sony, Polygram, Blue Note and Minor Music. Although the music is reasonably enjoyable, the poor documentation (no personnel listing or dates) is inexcusable. If ...

Charlie's Greatest Hits

Charlie's Greatest Hits (2000) more music like this

by Charles Earland

Greatest Hits is not such a hot, or accurate, title for an album that has seven songs recorded between 1969-1974. Even if Earland's stint at Prestige during this time is reckoned to be his peak on record (as it usually is), that's not such a thorough overview of a period that saw him do about ten albums. That's particularly so as five of the seven ...

The Mighty Burner: The Best of His Highnote Recordings is a comprehensive single-disc overview of the final recordings made by one of the masters of the Hammond B-3, Charles Earland. These ten previously issued tracks were recorded in the late '90s and are taken from the albums Blowing the Blues Away, Cookin' With the Mighty Burner, If Only for ...

Black Drops

Black Drops (1970) more music like this

by Charles Earland

The late '60s and early '70s were a very productive time for Charles Earland. At his best, the organist delivered five-star gems during that period, such as Black Talk and Living Black -- and at his worst, he provided decent, if unremarkable, albums like Black Drops. Although not in a class with Black Talk or Living Black, this Bob Porter-produced ...

Whip Appeal

Whip Appeal (1990) more music like this

by Charles Earland

A jazz version of Babyface's "Whip Appeal"? It's hard to believe, but then, Charles Earland has always had an impressive ability to recontextualize pop and R&B songs that seem the most unlikely vehicles for jazz improvisation. On this fine CD, which marked the end of his association with Muse Records, Earland transforms that urban contemporary ...

Living Black! (1970) more music like this

by Charles Earland

Recorded in 1970 at the Key Club, Living Black! is notable for many reasons, not the least of which is that it showcased Earland in a live setting at his most inspired. From choosing his sidemen to material to reading the audience to pure instrumental execution, there isn't a weak moment on this date, nor a sedentary one. Earland makes the band ...

If Only for One Night

If Only for One Night (2002) more music like this

by Charles Earland/Najee

Less than two months before his sudden death, Charles Earland recorded this final rewarding effort. One of the most inventive of the organists to come up after Jimmy Smith, Earland contributed five originals to the set and shows that one can play funky and still be creative and unpredictable. The main surprise of the outing is that Najee, a ...

Jazz That Cooks

Jazz That Cooks (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

Jazz That Cooks is a solid sampler of modern-day soul-jazz, funky hard bop, and groove music, featuring artists like Charles Earland, Joey Defrancesco, Teddy Edwards, Irene Reid, Red Holloway, and more. It's pretty consistent throughout, making it a good basic introduction to these artists as well. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide

Organist Charles Earland and his regular quintet of the time jam through three Horace Silver songs (a high-powered "Blowing the Blues Away," "Strollin'," and "Quicksilver"), Herbie Hancock's "Dolphin Dance," Joe Sample's funky "Put It Where You Want It," the traditional gospel tune "This Is the Day," and a pair of R&B hits ("Sweet Love" and "For ...

Stomp! (2000) more music like this

by Charles Earland

Recorded six months before organist Charles Earland's death, this date finds "the Mighty Burner" still in excellent form. Although many of the titles (six of which are Earland originals) performed by his group refer to religion, the music swings in a hard-charging secular way, with only "Stomp!" having some spoken word by Earland. The organist ...

Party Jazz (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

Party Jazz is an infectious compilation of funky, catchy soul-jazz driven by tenor saxes and Hammond B-3s (plus occasional guitar, as on Grant Green's selection). While jazz purists might deride the choices as haphazard, what's here is generally very good, with an artist roster including Willis "Gator" Jackson, Brother Jack McDuff, Houston Person, ...

by Charles Earland

Organomically Correct revisits selections from three of Charles Earland's late-'70s Muse recordings. While most fans of "The Mighty Burner" treasure his Prestige dates released earlier in the decade, his sessions for Muse contained as much gritty funk without the fusion-ish over-production Earland toyed with that marred recordings like Intensity. ...
