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 Anthony Wilson Nonet With Diana Krall Power Of Nine (180g LP & 45rpm 180g LP) Jazz | Groove Note | 180g, 2LP Released 24th April 2024 £73.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Anthony Wilson Nonet With Diana Krall Power Of Nine (180g LP & 45rpm 180g LP) £73.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Groove Note SKU: GRV1035 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 24th April 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ella Fitzgerald Lullabies of Birdland Jazz | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 18th February 2013 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ella Fitzgerald Lullabies of Birdland £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP708 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 18th February 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Herbie Hancock Inventions and Dimensions Jazz | Blue Note | 1LP Released 11th October 2019 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Herbie Hancock Inventions and Dimensions £24.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 802772 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 11th October 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jazzrausch Bigband Dancing Wittgenstein Jazz | ACT | 1LP Released 25th October 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jazzrausch Bigband Dancing Wittgenstein £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ACT SKU: ACTLP90471 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 25th October 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Holly Cole Temptation 45rpm Boxset Jazz | Analogue Productions | 45rpm, 4LP, Box Set Released 19th March 2021 £140.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Holly Cole Temptation 45rpm Boxset £140.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Analogue Productions SKU: AAPP048-45 Formats: 45rpm, 4LP, Box Set Released Date: 19th March 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Artie Shaw Both Feet In The Groove Jazz | Doxy | 180g, 1LP Released 30th January 2014 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Artie Shaw Both Feet In The Groove £17.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Doxy SKU: DOX857LP Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 30th January 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Stan Getz Imagination Jazz | Dreyfus Jazz | 1LP Released 10th May 2019 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Stan Getz Imagination £13.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Dreyfus Jazz SKU: 4050538484090 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 10th May 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Gene Ammons Nice An’ Cool Jazz | Analogue Productions (Prestige) | 180g, 1LP Released 27th January 2017 £45.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Gene Ammons Nice An’ Cool £45.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Analogue Productions (Prestige) SKU: APRJ18 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 27th January 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists The Three Blind Mice Jazz | Impex Records | 6LP, Box Set Released 21st August 2020 £278.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists The Three Blind Mice £278.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Impex Records SKU: AIMX602245 Formats: 6LP, Box Set Released Date: 21st August 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Art Ensemble of Chicago Les Stances à Sophie Jazz | Soul Jazz | 2LP Released 3rd October 2018 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Art Ensemble of Chicago Les Stances à Sophie £24.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Soul Jazz SKU: SJRLP418 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 3rd October 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Jazz Start again
