Modern Jazz Fusion

notes

This rather eclectic recording features four friends, three of which grew up together in Hawaii. Since then, bassist Benny Rietveld has played with Sheila E., Miles Davis, and currently is the bass player for Santana and lives in New York City. Sax player Allen Won also lives in New York, teaching and playing in many popular Broadway shows as well as local orchestras and big bands. Noel Okimoto lives in Hawaii and plays daily with the Royal Hawaiian Band as well as playing around town for many visiting jazz artists. Jamie Fox has worn musical hats as diverse and far-ranging as being musical director for Joan Baez, playing with Blood, Sweat & Tears, and teaching guitar and gigging in New York City.

There are a couple of great special guests as well, such as Joanne Brackeen on piano, and Lyle Ritz on ukelele.

Supplies are currently limited on this particular CD for now, unless they find the master.

    Benny Rietveld and his friends Allen Won,Jamie Fox and Noel Okimoto...Bass,Sax,Guitars and Drums met again in Janary 1993,4 childhood friends... they laughed,drank,talked for hours,and decided it would be a good thing to play again,and what emerged was this record.The OUTTAKES is the name of the Band,and Genuine Article is the name of a CD that is now impossible to find unless the masters somehow appear from nowhere. The music is very eclectic,from The Ex Factor,which is a tune that is very much like all the music I heard back in the 1970´s.Thru Ike Ano Ahi Ahi,a very Hawaian song by Allen,to A Distant Episode by Benny,a tune that is somewhat strange in the sense that Benny has composed this as a layer-on-layer- meaning it starts off as a 4/4 with timbalero Karl Perazzo,then the mood changes when Joanne Brackeen plays an interlude on the piano,and the mood changes again,Benny plays his bass and keeps it floating while Allen´s Sax row´s the boat ashore. Tyi´n the Knot is one of my favorites,the guitar and the drums are so in sync... Devil´s Foot by Benny is another of my favorites,the syncopated rhythm,the mood,the drumsolo(I do like them,maybe I am weird )... A Delicate Balance ...the mix of a Guitar muted and the drumming....just gives me shivers...I am 20 again,it´s way past midnight,I´m leaning my head on her shoulder and just breathing the music,her scent and my lust...and Benny´s Bass enhances the feeling. It is a delicate balance... The Vision,Huli Huli,,Genuine Article,Shoshin,Beetle Deetle...You told me to make it a short review...which is impossible when it is about the kind of Music I Love...OK?
