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 Billie Holiday Lady in Satin Jazz | Columbia | 180g, 1LP Released 7th August 2015 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Billie Holiday Lady in Satin £16.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Columbia SKU: 88875111741 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 7th August 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dizzy Gillespie Dizzy Gillespie’s Big 4 (Analogue Productions/Pablo) Jazz | Analogue Productions/Pablo | 180g, 1LP Released 26th July 2024 £47.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Dizzy Gillespie Dizzy Gillespie’s Big 4 (Analogue Productions/Pablo) £47.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Analogue Productions/Pablo SKU: AAPJ 158 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 26th July 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nucleus Alleycat Jazz | We Are Busy Bodies | 1LP Released 12th August 2022 £32.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nucleus Alleycat £32.00 Genre: Jazz Label: We Are Busy Bodies SKU: LPWABB128LE Formats: 1LP Released Date: 12th August 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Reuben Wilson Blue Mode Jazz | Blue Note | 1LP Released 12th July 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Reuben Wilson Blue Mode £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 7753122 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 12th July 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View New Mastersounds Masterology: The Pioneers of New British Funk 2-LP Set Jazz | Sundazed | 180g, 2LP Released 30th June 2016 £42.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders New Mastersounds Masterology: The Pioneers of New British Funk 2-LP Set £42.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Sundazed SKU: SUNDAZEDLP5374 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 30th June 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Roy Haynes Quartet Out Of The Afternoon Jazz | Verve | 1LP Released 23rd August 2019 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Roy Haynes Quartet Out Of The Afternoon £15.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Verve SKU: 7746431 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 23rd August 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bill Frisell When You Wish Upon A Star Americana / Country | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 2LP Released 19th February 2016 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bill Frisell When You Wish Upon A Star £24.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1610 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 19th February 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Thelonious Monk The Classic Quartet (Remastered) Jazz | Candid Records | 180g, 1LP Released 2nd June 2023 £29.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Thelonious Monk The Classic Quartet (Remastered) £29.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Candid Records SKU: LPCND35511 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 2nd June 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Tony Bennett & Dave Brubeck The White House Sessions Jazz | Impex Records | 180g, 2LP Released 11th March 2016 £58.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tony Bennett & Dave Brubeck The White House Sessions £58.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Impex Records SKU: IMP6024 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 11th March 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Diana Krall Love Scenes Jazz | Verve | 180g, 2LP Released 9th August 2016 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Diana Krall Love Scenes £22.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Verve SKU: 4737698 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 9th August 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Jazz Start again
