4.0 out of 5 stars good anthology of an underrated musician, February 2, 2005

Ravi Desai "Ravi" (India) - See all my reviews

This review is from: House of David: The David Fathead Newman Anthology (Audio CD)

Listening to this I'm surprised David Newman is not better known.
Disc1 contains a lot of his recordings with Ray Charles , it is possible that the current buzz about Ray will rekindle some interest in Newman - a long time collaborator. These tracks are excellent as one would expect with Newman's bluesy jazz blending with Rays R&b and soul.
Disc2 contains mostly instrumental jazz, which like most of Newman's work is strongly influenced by R&B.
Ad with the other Rhino- Atlantic anthologies, the packaging and presentation are excellent with a nice 2 CD case and a well written booklet packed into a slipcase.
3.5 stars or 7/10 would be the most accurate rating for this.

If you love great jazz, classic jazz, well played composed jazz, this is a must collection. Fantastik players doin' thier best and having fun doing it. Ray Charles plays piano like you have never heard before. David Newman does his blowing with precise and intone performances. A must...

This is an excellent collection of music starting with the early years of Davids career right on through the Ray Charles years and into his solo years. I would highly recommend this for anyone who is a "Fathead" fan.
