Robinson, Paul Humphrey, Frank Severino: drums; Lynn Blessing, Warren Chiasson: vibes; Aki Aleong, Joseph Torres, Ron Rich, Ric DeSilva: percussion. Snake Eyes (Palmetto) Naturally, Hatza is well steeped in the blue bop of Jimmy Smith. But, like Defrancesco, he seems to gravitate more toward the rapid-fire soulfulness of Charles Earland and the modal funk of Lonnie Smith (though he avoids the otherworlds of Larry Young that Defrancesco sometimes explores). The result on this set, the third of his Palmetto releases, is a pleasing program of solid riffing on catchy jazz rooted in soul, gospel, funk and blues. The Hatza Organization is a solid quartet, featuring returning guitarist Paul Bollenbeck (still poised to fulfill his promise, but good even in his Scofield bag), tenor man Ralph Lalama and drummer Dennis Chambers. The best moments are upbeat: the gospel funk of "Stand Up and Be Counted," the soul strut of "Change the World" and the mode supreme of "Trane Station." The remaining half dozen tunes have an attractive appeal that will sound familiar to those who enjoyed Hatza’s previous

Extractions: The CTI Catalogue Re-Launch Series CTI was one of the last vestiges of jazz-with-a-personality during the 1970s. Forerunners like Blue Note, Verve and Impulse lost much of their individuality and uniqueness by the time Creed Taylor took his designer label from Herb Alpert's shop at A&M and made it an independent jazz force to be reckoned with. Taylor, former brain trust at ABC-Paramount, Impulse and Verve, knew how to put together a shiny package and sell it. After all, this is the guy who brought John Coltrane to Impulse in 1960, initiated the bossa nova craze in 1962 with "The Girl From Ipanema" and had Wes Montgomery earning a healthy income for his family. Taylor started with top-flight jazz talent, surrounded them with cream-of-the-crop New York studio musicians and recorded it all with lush string and horn sections. Much of his music was recorded at Rudy Van Gelder's pristine Englewood Cliffs studios. Programs were carefully selected to mix catchy originals with snazzy Top 40 covers. Finally, the crowning touch was the classy packaging: expensive, shiny gatefold jackets (thicker and heavier than most single records at the time) bearing the signature photography of Pete Turner. CTI soon fell on hard times, losing heavy-hitters like Freddie Hubbard and Stanley Turrentine and suffering the financial burden of Taylor's failure to create his own distribution network. Still, Taylor went on putting out records (with the help of Motown). By 1980 he sold his impressive back catalog to Epic Records, which released a handful of the records on CD in 1988-89. Since then Taylor has continued issuing records independently - and Epic lost interest in releasing anything more of the CTI classics - until now.

Extractions: I have been very blessed to work with some of the most talented musicians in Philadelphia and Europe. Their gifts are so precious, not only in the music they make, but in the love they share with all who surround them. I have learned an immense amount from all of them, and am grateful to them all. I am trying to get bio information on all of them, but you know musicians....Einstein's ideas on time are definitely in play. If you are interested in my biography/curriculum vitae, please scroll down after the musicians. Piano Bill Schilling

Double-Time Records Joe wasnt originally into jazz but after hearing music by pianist Unquestionably theres strong energy and drive in both Joes and dougs playing but http://www.doubletimerecords.com/scripts/dtr126.asp
Extractions: After his Berklee experience Joe began making a living as a working musician - something hes done now for over 20 years. He free-lanced on upright bass in and around the Boston area. Hes also spent significant time on guitar as a sideman backing great artists like Buddy DeFranco, Artie Shaw and Al Grey. Joe spent six years and played all across the country with Arties band and has been with trombonist Al Grey (a veteran of the Count Basie Orchestra and Frank Sinatras band) for about 10 years. Two Funky People (the title refers to the fact that there are two guitarists on this date and is also a direct reference to their famous fathers) is funky in a refreshingly relaxed way. Unquestionably theres strong energy and drive in both Joes and Dougs playing but nothing is overdone or frantic. I especially enjoy the teamwork and interplay in this quartet - both between Joe and Doug as well as the rock solid rhythm section of Dennis Irwin (bass) and Barry Ries (drums).
