1. norman brown
Norman Brown has a lot to live up to.
Since the release of his critically acclaimed 2002 album, Just Chillin' - which won a Grammy® in the prestigious Best Pop Instrumental Category - this innovative and original guitarist has been front and center in the fast evolving fusion of pop, R&B and jazz that has captured the imagination of true music aficionados across the country and around the world.
Now, with the release of West Coast Coolin', Norman Brown consolidates his reputation as a premier recording and performing artist with a collection of ten tracks -- written and co-written by the artist - that take the sonic adventure of Just Chillin' into breathtaking new spheres. It's an innovation due in large part to Brown's exceptional skills as a distinctive urban vocalist, with the specially selected tracks of West Coast Coolin' providing the perfect vehicle for this dazzling new facet of his career. As a result, Norman Brown joins a very select list of versatile urban artists gifted as both instrumentalists and vocalists.
"My fans kept asking me to do more singing," explains Brown on the impetus and inspiration behind West Coast Coolin'. "At the same time I wanted to go further into some of the great Soul and R&B sounds that have been such a tremendous influence on me. I tried to bring those two goals together on this new album." Assisting in the process was a top flight team of producers, including Paul Brown, the man behind the boards for both Just Chillin' and its predecessor, 2000's Celebration, as well as the accomplished R&B and Urban Contemporary producers James Poyser and Viktor Dupliax (known for their work with Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, D'Angelo and Macy Grey), who likewise had a hand in the magic of Just Chillin'.
The result is a dazzling collection of consummately crafted tracks that showcase both Brown's urban vocals skills on such tracks as "I Might," "Angel" and "Come Over" and his richly nuanced guitar styling on key cuts like "Up N At Em," "Let Play " and "Right Now." Simply put, West Coast Coolin' delivers on all the promise of this extraordinary artist...and then some.
All which should come as no surprise to savvy music fans. Over the course of five landmark releases and a virtually constant itinerary of international touring, this gifted and gloriously versatile guitarist and vocalist has established himself as one of a handful of preeminent instrumentalists and composers in contemporary musical realms, setting a standard for virtuosity that has placed the Shreveport, La. native in a category of one ...

Jimmy Bruno:
Bruno_maaaann!" says George Benson of one of the brightest talents in the guitar firmament. And while Benson's comment may be short on detail, there's no question that it gets the point across: he's impressed, which in itself speaks volumes about Jimmy Bruno's abilities.
What makes Bruno special enough to attract the attention of someone of George Benson's stature? Simply that he plays from within the tradition of straight-ahead jazz while taking the guitar to a new technical level. When Jimmy gets revved up and begins tossing off blistering single-note runs and blindingly fast arpeggios, look out. In terms of sheer chops, he's practically untouchable in the jazz guitar world. At the same time, he's much more than just a sterile technician. He knows jazz, uses his technique for musical ends,and can play pretty and swing hard. It's a unique combination that sets him apart_and is especially evident on Live At Birdland One (CCD-4768-2)with Special Guest Bobby Watson, his latest Concord Jazz recording ...

4. earl klugh
An acoustic guitarist with a very pretty tone, Earl Klugh does not consider himself a jazz player and thinks of Chet Atkins as being his most important influence. Klugh played on a Yusef Lateef album when he was 15 and gained recognition in 1971 for his contributions to George Benson's White Rabbit record. He played regularly with Benson in 1973, was a member of Return to Forever briefly in 1974, and then in the mid-'70s, began recording as a leader. After a couple well-received solo albums on different Capitol imprints including Blue Note, Klugh hit pay dirt with 1979's One on One, a Grammy-winning collaboration with pianist Bob James. More solo albums followed before the sequel to One on One, Two of a Kind, appeared in 1982. In 1984 he changed labels and released one of his most popular albums, Soda Fountain Shuffle, on Warner Brothers. Klugh made his biggest artistic impression yet in 1989 with the self-explanatory Solo Guitar. Two years later he would return to the "serious jazz" repertoire of Solo Guitar, but this time with bassist Ralphe Armstrong and drummer Gene Dunlap on the acoustic bebop outing The Earl Klugh Trio, Vol. 1. Cool from 1992 found him working with Bob James again and was followed by three more smooth releases for the Warner Brothers family before the jump was made to Windham Hill with 1999's Peculiar Situation. Compilations, live albums, appearances with others, and reissues filled the years leading up to 2005's Naked Guitar, a stripped down, standards-heavy album for the Koch label. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide.

Alan Prosser, Guitarist with the Oysterband:
Prosser is a polyglot stylist, he takes heed of much and creates a bag of tricks that sounds at once familiar yet new. And yes, it does come over as English, despite some of the 13 tracks being anchored in such disparate places as Canada, Scandinavia (my assumption that one), and Austria. In fact, throw in musicians digs, friendly kitchens and chummy firesides he has known, and this could be a `road' album. Mr. Prosser gives few hints he just plays.
It's a diverting selection that'll keep a grin of pure satisfaction on your face and a clear conscience about squeezing yet another fROOTS recommended album out of your current account. As his digits throw out different shapes and chase across the frets, finger - twisting bluesish runs on Canmore, Chunkily jigging Tanyardside (echoes of Brass Monkey), speedy riffery The Move, warm, medieval, courtly preciseness on William and Claire, reflective atmospherics in The Day is Ending. You wonder if there's anything he hasn't absorbed! His message; diversity is the creed ...
