Soul Journey Michael Weiss SKU: ASINT2003 Barcode: 677355348899 53.00 £53.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Sintra Records Released Date: 27th November 2020 Buying Format: 150g 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Pianist Michael Weiss took home the Grand Prize in the 2000 BMI/Thelonious Monk Institute’s Composition Competition for his song “El Camino,” which is included on Soul Journey. Soul Journey features an exceptional program of nine intriguing compositions by Weiss, a composer and bandleader of the first rank, who moved to New York City in 1982 from his native Dallas, by way of Indiana University. Weiss quickly found work with Jon Hendricks, Lou Donaldson, Slide Hampton and the Junior Cook/Bill Hardman Quintet. In 1987 Weiss became Johnny Griffin’s regular pianist and went on to record four albums with him. He has also worked with Art Farmer, Charles McPherson, George Coleman, Frank Wess, Jimmy Heath, the Jazztet, Pepper Adams, the Mingus Epitaph Orchestra, Gary Bartz and the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra. In addition, he has appeared with Wynton Marsalis on “Live From Lincoln Center” on PBS and “Making the Music” on NPR. Soul Journey was recorded to 2″ analog tape at 30 ips and mixed to 1/2″ tape at 30 ips by legendary engineer Joe Ferla at Avatar Studios in March of 2000. It was originally released on CD in 2003. To date the original master tapes have remained in pristine condition. With today’s resurgent interest in analog sound, Weiss decided to rerelease Soul Journey as a limited edition double LP set, sparing no expense to deliver a high quality all analog audiophile product. “El Camino” is a sure winner, reviewer Dan McClenaghan writes about Soul Journey for allaboutjazz.com, but the album is full of other fine Weiss-composed songs: the upbeat opener “Optimism,” the brooding title tune, and the brassy “Second Thoughts.” What is most striking about Soul Journey is the diversity of the compositions, the dexterity which Weiss develops his materials and the way the forms and improvisations merge into an organic whole. On “El Camino,”Weiss’ expert tailoring fully exploits the sonorous potential of the trumpet, alto saxophone and trombone front-line and a fully interactive rhythm section. El Camino blends south-of-the-border rhythms with an active bassline, vivid harmonies and a lithe, through-composed melody adorned by an introduction, interludes, coda and background figures adding spice to the improvised solos. “What’s going to drive jazz forward is a greater integration of composition and improvisation rather than the same old head-solos-head format,” says Weiss. “I want to keep the music fresh and interesting.” Artist Michael Weiss Genre Jazz Label Sintra Records Buying Options 150g 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country USA Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Jazz View Product Quick View Sun Ra A Fireside Chat With Lucifer Jazz | Modern Harmonic | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 2nd February 2024 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sun Ra A Fireside Chat With Lucifer £26.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Modern Harmonic SKU: LPMH8217C Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 2nd February 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View John Coltrane A Love Supreme: The Complete Masters Jazz | Impulse | 3LP Released 8th February 2016 £43.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Coltrane A Love Supreme: The Complete Masters £43.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Impulse SKU: 4753604 Formats: 3LP Released Date: 8th February 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Charles Mingus Oh Yeah (Atlantic 75 Series) Jazz | Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released 25th December 2025 £75.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Charles Mingus Oh Yeah (Atlantic 75 Series) £75.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) SKU: AAPA 039-45 Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released Date: 25th December 2025 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Adrian Quesada Jaguar Sound Jazz | ATO | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 18th November 2022 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Adrian Quesada Jaguar Sound £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ATO SKU: ATO0606 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 18th November 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dominic Miller Vagabond Jazz | ECM | 1LP Released 21st April 2023 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dominic Miller Vagabond £21.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ECM SKU: 4589049 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 21st April 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pat Metheny Offramp Jazz | ECM | 180g, 1LP Released 20th March 2010 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pat Metheny Offramp £16.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ECM SKU: 2727893 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 20th March 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pharoah Sanders Moon Child Jazz | Tidal Waves Music | 180g, 1LP Released 8th April 2022 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pharoah Sanders Moon Child £28.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Tidal Waves Music SKU: TWM38 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 8th April 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Kenny Wheeler Quintet Flutter By, Butterfly Jazz | Soul Note | 1LP, Includes CD Released 6th March 2014 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kenny Wheeler Quintet Flutter By, Butterfly £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Soul Note SKU: SN521004 Formats: 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 6th March 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Miles Davis That’s What Happened 1982-1985: Bootleg Vol. 7 Jazz | Sony Music | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 16th September 2022 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Miles Davis That’s What Happened 1982-1985: Bootleg Vol. 7 £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Sony Music SKU: 19439863841 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 16th September 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nina Simone Silk and Soul Jazz | ORG | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released 30th August 2013 £65.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nina Simone Silk and Soul £65.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ORG SKU: ORGLP014045 Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released Date: 30th August 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Jazz Start again
