What Is Hip?: The Tower of Power Anthology
(1999)

by
Tower of Power
Having played on hundreds of hit records, it was only fitting that this Oakland-based group of studio hornmen should strike out on their own and this two-disc anthology from Rhino captures the ups, downs, ins, and outs of T.O.P.'s 30-year career. In many ways, the group retrospective is not just a document of the group's evolving sound, but a ...

Chill Factor
(1999)
more music like this
by
Richard Elliot
Richard Elliot chose to go with the production expertise of Steve Dubin on his Chill Factor, but the silky, simmering soul influence of Paul Brown -- who produced the veteran saxman's previous hit, Jumpin' Off -- has stuck. Where Elliot once routinely went for the jugular and blistering approach to his tenor, he lives up to this disc's name by ...

The Best of Richard Elliot
(2000)

by
Richard Elliot
This document of Richard Elliot's Blue Note years showcases a virtual master saxophonist who decided that smooth jazz was the pace for him to make his mark, and his money, and he probably did all right at it. Elliot was a mainstay on "contemporary" or "smooth" jazz radio stations for much of the '90s though he began his run with the label in 1976. ...

The Best Blue Note Album in the World Ever

by
Various Artists
The Best Blue Note Album in the World Ever may boast a silly title, but it's hard to argue with what's on this double-disc sampler. Not all of the label's greatest artists are here, but everything is representative, showing how hard bop like John Coltrane's "Blue Train" and Lee Morgan's "The Sidewinder" coexisted with soul-jazz from Grant Green ( ...

Somewhere between the smooth silkiness of R&B and the technically proficient slickness of jazz lies the genre known as quiet storm, which artists like Kenny G have ridden to popularity. With its programmed beats, laid-back grooves, stylized production, and romance, it's a bit of surprise to hear someone like Richard Elliott signed to Verve's ...

Sure, Tower of Power best-ofs are pretty thick on the ground these days. But if you want a quick overview of the catalog's high points and don't want to shell out thirty bucks for Rhino's excellent two-disc anthology (or even $11.00 for the one-disc Warner Years collection), this ten-track, eight-dollar quickie is for you. It wouldn't be accurate ...

Blue Note Salutes Motown

This is one of the more interesting experiments that Blue Note Records undertook in the 1990s as a way of exploiting its catalog and propping up its current roster against its classic one. The dozen cuts here are, as the jacket reveals, all Motown covers. The list of leaders is an impressive one: John Patton, Stanley Turrentine, Bobbi Humphrey, ...
