If you''ve never heard of Eric Frazier before, In Your Own Time, is
one heck of a way to get acquainted. Percussionist and vocalist
Frazier releases his latest production of originals encompassing a
blend of R&B, Latin Jazz, salsa and a selection of straight jazz and
bluesy rhythms. Originating from the "Big Apple," Frazier records
this CD with a host of New York musicians that deliver an
outstanding performance. Among his group are David Lee Jones (alto),
Danny Mixon (piano), Jeremy Pelt and Maurice Brown (trumpets) and a
very fine rhythm section.
The opening piece is a predictable percussive tune "Feeling So
Unnecessary" with the leader in fine form. Pianist Mixon introduces
the next jumping track entitled "The Jazz Spot" containing excellent
solo expressions by altoist Jones, Pelt on trumpet, Mixon and
Frazier on vocals. "Que Tanga Un Buendia" is a delicious salsa with
heavy conga and drums in backup support to enticing vocals. Another
south of the border number is "Celia," a terrific Latin jazz score
with expressive phrasings by the leader on congas.
The music turns mellow on the smooth vocals of "Here To Stay" and
reverts to its jazzy core on the impressive and jazzy "I''m
Impressed."
An entertaining and enjoyable mix of jazzy blues and Latin flavored
charts all wrapped up in one nice neat package. Offering a variety
of tasteful musical styles presented by an engaging ensemble, Eric
Frazier''s In Your Own Time is guaranteed to give you more than one
time of musical pleasure.
