Yellowjackets - Live Wires [FLAC+MP3](Big Papi) Jazz 1992 (Size: 576.19 MB)
Description
Source: Original 1992 CD + Fresh Cover Art Scan The MP3 tracks have gapless playback set because this is a live performance. This means the music flows perfectly from one track to the next without a pause. Also, Big Papi recommends you set this music to "not shuffle" in your player of choice if that player supports the shuffle option. The FLAC versions were not ripped for gapless playback. Look inside the bonus MORE JAZZ folder for even more jazz!! - Big Papi By Bill Appel The Yellowjackets combined the rhythm of Spyro Gyra, a melodic fusion side of Weather Report and a touch of R&B orientation to create a sparkling crossover jazz sound without being too predictable at this stage of their career. The 10 tracks on "Live Wires", recorded at the Hollywood Roxy in 1991, examplifies a tight unit of Bob Mintzer (on tenor, soprano, BWI and bass clarinet), keyboardist Russell Ferrante, bassist Jimmy Haslip, drummer William Kennedy and percussionist Paulinho Da Costa. Mintzer's inspiring and enjoyable solo workouts throughout shows why he is one of the best in the business. Ferrante, with his welcome Zawinal stylings and sounds at times, sparkles as well. The rest of the band back up and complement both Mintzer and Ferrante superbly. Two tracks feature excellent guest appearances. The easy groovin', inspiring "The Dream" featuring the smooth Michael Franks on vocal could easily have been added to any Franks greatest hits compilation. The song is actually the Yellowjacket's "Local Hero" instrumental with Frank's writing and delivering the lyrics. Very well done and a must for any Franks fan like myself. Take 6 delivers excellent vocals and harmonies in the spiritual "Revelation" which ends this set. GRP also does an excellent job in the recording and mastering of this album(CD)as the overall sound and sonics are consistently fresh and crisp throughout for a live recording.  --------------------------------------------------------------------- Yellowjackets - Live Wires (GRP 9667) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Artist...............: Yellowjackets Album................: Live Wires (GRP 9667) Genre................: Jazz Source...............: CD Year.................: 1992 Ripper...............: EAC (Secure mode) / LAME 3.92 & Asus CD-S520 Codec................: Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC) Version..............: reference libFLAC 1.2.1 20070917 Quality..............: Lossless, (avg. compression: 63 %) Channels.............: Stereo / 44100 HZ / 16 Bit --------------------------------------------------------------------- Tracklisting --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.
