Rhino Hi-Five: Larry Carlton

1978年華納為他發行Larry Carlton的同名專輯，1983年的Friends則為他獲得了葛萊美獎的提名；在這張專輯中他找來薩克斯風高手Michael Brecker、歌手Al Jarreau與比比，金等人來助陣，確實是精采紛呈。



Larry Carlton1981年發行的專輯Sleepwalk。Larry Carlton，1948年5月2日出生於南加州，從六歲開始學吉它，十四歲就開始登台表演。在他讀高中時，有一次聽到電台播放Gerald Wilson Big Band之後瞬間對爵士樂產生興趣，隨即便投入爵士樂演奏和創作，當時Wes Montgomery和Joe Pass對他的爵士之路有着深遠影響。還有藍調吉它手B B King也是他所最敬仰的人物之一。

Larry Carlton's "hits" are not so much reimagined on this collection as they are brought into a more contemporary arena. The respected studio session man, electric guitarist, and hero to many brings these tracks -- which are more favorites than chart toppers -- into a different focus within contemporary jazz confines. With the excellent drummer Vinnie Colaiuta, electric keyboardist Jeff Babko, and son Travis Carlton on electric bass guitar, Larry Carlton revisits these songs as if they were old friends he hasn't seen for awhile, and renders them with the non-swing rhythms that have identified his lengthy career. Some of these compositions were based on the original lines, bass in the case of "All in Good Time," and piano or keyboards, lending to Babko's synthesized sound that dominates tracks like the gospel-infused "Terry T" for Terry Trotter, or the sweet road song "Smiles & Smiles to Go." Carlton himself sounds best during the funky strut of "High Steppin'" or the R&B-influenced "Red Hot Poker." Power over melody, steady funk, and pop-styled music are also heard, enhanced by the sax work of Paul Cerra on occasion. Where the original versions likely hold a stronger appeal for fans, these tracks will remind them of how musically consistent Larry Carlton has been during his roller coaster personal life and times.
