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 Dave Brubeck Quartet In Europe Jazz | Spiral Records | 1LP Released 26th November 2018 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dave Brubeck Quartet In Europe £17.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Spiral Records SKU: 8105250 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 26th November 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View John McLaughlin Liberation Time Jazz | Abstract Logix | 1LP Released 16th July 2021 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John McLaughlin Liberation Time £28.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Abstract Logix SKU: ABLX065V Formats: 1LP Released Date: 16th July 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Matana Roberts Coin Coin Chapter Five: In The Garden Jazz | Constellation | 10", 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 29th September 2023 £32.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Matana Roberts Coin Coin Chapter Five: In The Garden £32.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Constellation SKU: CST170LP Formats: 10", 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 29th September 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dorothy Ashby The Jazz Harpist Jazz | Doxy | 1LP Released 11th February 2014 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dorothy Ashby The Jazz Harpist £17.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Doxy SKU: DOY698 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 11th February 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Modern Jazz Quartet Pyramid Jazz | Pure Pleasure | 180g, 1LP Released 24th March 2017 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Modern Jazz Quartet Pyramid £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Pure Pleasure SKU: PPANSD1325 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 24th March 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Frank Sinatra Sinatra Sings Great Songs From Great Britain Jazz | Reprise | 1LP Released 25th October 2022 £14.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Frank Sinatra Sinatra Sings Great Songs From Great Britain £14.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Reprise SKU: nn252073 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 25th October 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Miles Davis A Tribute To Jack Johnson Jazz | Mobile Fidelity | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 3rd February 2023 £59.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Miles Davis A Tribute To Jack Johnson £59.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Mobile Fidelity SKU: MFSL1440 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 3rd February 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mouse On The Keys An Anxious Object Jazz | Denovali Records | 180g, 1LP Released 27th August 2010 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mouse On The Keys An Anxious Object £25.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Denovali Records SKU: DEN51LP Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 27th August 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nils Landgren Sentimental Journey Jazz | ACT | 2LP Released 25th November 2022 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nils Landgren Sentimental Journey £23.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ACT SKU: ACTLP9409-1 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 25th November 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View R+R=NOW Collagically Speaking Jazz | Blue Note | 2LP Released 20th July 2018 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders R+R=NOW Collagically Speaking £25.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 6755433 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 20th July 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Jazz Start again
