Review
...great arrangements, solos and beauty the strings give depth and meaning to the music --"InnerPlay" is a work of art. --Jon Hendricks, America's Poet Laureate of Jazz
About the Artist
Jim has brought together a "who's who " of L.os Angeles' top studio musicians for a classy, elegant recording of 10 great jazz tunes arranged by busy movie orchestrator Brad Dechter. Each of the three session featured a great saxophonist and separate rhythm section playing with Self on three tunes. The first with Gary Foster, (who's played and recorded with everyone) has Terry Trotter, piano, Tom Warrington, Bass and Steve Houghton, drums. The second, featuring Pete Christlieb (of Tonite Show Band fame) has Tom Ranier, piano, Dave Carpenter, bass and Steve Schaeffer, drums. The final session was with Dan Higgins, (famous for his alto work on John Williams’ score for "Catch Me If You Can") is with Mike Lang, piano, Ken Wild; bass and Ralph Humphrey , drums. H arpist Gayle Levant is also featured. All these forces were blended with the Jay Rosen Strings by Academy Award winning engineer, Shawn Murphy. Standards like "There Is No Greater Love", "Pensativa", and "No More Blues" share the CD with last year's Grammy winning Best Jazz tune, Herbie Hancock's "Speak Like a Child", originals by Self, "That Morning in May", and Dechter:, "The Underdog Has Arisen" and Horace Silver's "Strollin'"-- which features everyone.

This review is from: InnerPlay (Audio CD)
MMJ - Modern Mainstream Jazz. Jim Self is not only an outstanding Dixieland tuba player but a pioneer on the fluba, a combination of tuba and flugelhorn. 25 strings, one of three rhythm sections, and other exciting soloists: Dan Higgins - soprano, alto, tenor, and flute; tenor-saxophonist Pete Christlieb, and altoist-flutist Gary Foster. Highly Recommended.
