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 Grant Green Live at Club Mozambique Jazz | Third Man Records / Blue Note | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 24th November 2023 £51.00 - £56.00 Select options Grant Green Live at Club Mozambique £51.00 - £56.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Third Man Records / Blue Note Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 24th November 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Marcos Valle & Stacey Kent Ao Vivo Jazz | Pure Pleasure | 180g, 2LP Released 22nd May 2015 £47.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Marcos Valle & Stacey Kent Ao Vivo £47.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Pure Pleasure SKU: PPAN20092 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 22nd May 2015 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Jeff Beck & Jan Hammer Live Jazz | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 13th April 2015 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jeff Beck & Jan Hammer Live £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1335 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 13th April 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Chet Baker Chet Is Back Jazz | Speakers Corner | 180g, 1LP Released 13th May 2005 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Chet Baker Chet Is Back £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Speakers Corner SKU: PML10307 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 13th May 2005 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Freddie Hubbard & Stanley Turrentine In Concert Jazz | Speakers Corner | 180g, 2LP Released 25th May 2018 £59.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Freddie Hubbard & Stanley Turrentine In Concert £59.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Speakers Corner SKU: CTI60449 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 25th May 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Max Roach Trio Featuring The Legendary Hasaan Jazz | Speakers Corner | 180g, 1LP Released 26th April 2019 £34.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Max Roach Trio Featuring The Legendary Hasaan £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Speakers Corner SKU: SD1435 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 26th April 2019 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Beady Belle On My Own Jazz | Jazzland | 2LP Released 17th January 2017 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Beady Belle On My Own £23.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Jazzland SKU: 3779136 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 17th January 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Herbie Hancock Speak Like A Child (Classic Vinyl) Jazz | Decca (UMO) / Jazz / Blue Note | 180g, 1LP Released 19th April 2024 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Herbie Hancock Speak Like A Child (Classic Vinyl) £26.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Decca (UMO) / Jazz / Blue Note SKU: 5832032 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 19th April 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Charlie Parker & Dizzy Gillespie Bird And Diz Jazz | Impulse | 1LP Released 20th September 2019 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Charlie Parker & Dizzy Gillespie Bird And Diz £21.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Impulse SKU: 7727182 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 20th September 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Gerry Mulligan & Chet Baker Carnegie Hall Concert Jazz | Speakers Corner | 180g, 2LP Released 20th September 2013 £59.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Gerry Mulligan & Chet Baker Carnegie Hall Concert £59.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Speakers Corner SKU: CTI60545 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 20th September 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Jazz Start again
