review

One glance at the personnel, which includes such popular "smooth" players as tenors Kirk Whalum and Boney James, trumpeter Rick Braun, and pianists George Duke and Jeff Lorber, could easily lead one to believe that this CD is filled with vacuous and mildly soulful background music. Actually, the playing on Downright Upright is a surprise, for most of the selections are reasonably creative renditions of soul-jazz. Four songs ("Cantaloupe Island," "Mercy Mercy Mercy," "Cold Duck Time" and "Chameleon") are standards given rightfully soulful treatments, and most of Bromberg's originals are worthwhile although a couple veer close to smooth. Most listeners knew that Kirk Whalum could play worthwhile jazz if placed in that context but the fine solos of Boney James and particularly Jeff Lorber will surprise many. Less of a surprise is the virtuosic bass solos of Brian Bromberg, a master at tapping. None of the music on Downright Upright would be considered innovative and the style itself is more than 30 years old, but to hear these pop/jazz musicians challenging each other a bit is fun. One wishes that they did it more often. Review by Scott Yanow

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

And, although it is being broken down of late, with discs such as Findings by Benny Reid, Departure by Dan Siegel, With All My Heart by Harvey Mason, and Straight Up and Take It From the Top by Bob James (from the jazz lite side), and Blue Horizon by Vic Juris and Department of Good and Evil (as well as similar discs by Rachael Z) from the jazz side, the divide remains, even though it might be lessening with works such as these.

Several factors tend to separate real jazz and jazz lite. The former generally features genuinely creative improvisation, while the latter seldom does. The former seeks to operate within a tradition stretching back to the beginning of the 20th century even as it expands those frontiers, while the latter seems to be an offshoot of late-20th century (instrumental) pop music. The former appeals to a somewhat elite audience generally steeped in its history and developments, while the latter tends to attract a younger audience looking for romantically inclined, easily accessible instrumental music.

The truth is that a quite different (and, one might even say, mutually alien) aesthetic generally operates in the two genres. How and why the two are coming together in the nascent 21st century, I simple don't know. But they are. And, I think, that's generally a good thing. So what if the diehard jazzheads don't like it: I say, deal with it! So what if the jazz lite freaks inch their way into Real Jazz: Again, deal with it!

Coming mainly from the Real Jazz position (although my introduction to creative improvised music was through the door of jazz lite), I sometimes weary of the plodding, clichéd approach of the Jazz Liters, but I'm more and more coming to appreciate the authentic and even hard-won aesthetic that the very best of them have achieved.

Still . . .

I believe the absolute best music on this disc derives from the authentic jazz side, that is, the standards, "Cantaloupe Island" and "Chameleon" by the inimitable Herbie Hancock, and "Mercy Mercy Mercy" by Joe Zawinal and "Cold Duck Time" by Les McCann: That's probably why the disc starts out with three of these standards. The tunes by Bromberg just don't have the requisite res, at least to my ears. Thus, things seem to sag slightly after the three standards, the disc tending to devolve into fairly standard smooth jazz precincts.

Of the three saxophone players--Kirk Whalum, Boney James, and Gary Meek--I prefer the latter. He plays on half the numbers, and he really lights things up whenever he solos. I particularly like his very sly quote of "Naima"--so stealthy as to slip by all but the most careful listener--on "Chameleon." Fusion stalwarts George Duke and Jeff Lorber man the piano chair (no cheesy keyboards here) with casual grace, and even some pretty killer chops (check out Lorber's solo on "Leisure Suit"). But it's when Bromberg solos on piccolo bass that things really catch fire. He seems to have figured out how to get the absolute most from that somewhat awkward instrument, and, thankfully (at least to these ears), he limits his acoustic bass solos to a minimum (although he manages a quite lovely one on "Slow Burn"). It's not that he lacks chops on this balky instrument; it's just that his solo concept on it seems rather too virtuoso for it to properly be in conversation with the rest of the band. Vinnie Colaiuta in the drum chair is a marvel of drive, taste, and coloration.

All in all, a very enjoyable disc which is growing on me.
