Editorial Reviews

This 2008 release is the third recording by Bobby Watson on Palmetto. The immensely talented and now seasoned veteran has some 26 recordings as a leader. He appears on close to 100 other recordings as either co-leader or in a supporting role for other like-minded musicians. Bobby performed with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers from 1977 to 1981, eventually becoming the musical director for the group. The Jazz Messengers, sometimes referred to as the "University of Blakey," served as the ultimate "postgraduate school" for ambitious young players. Bobby has done much the same as Blakey did with his band here on From The Heart. With the exception of the bassist Curtis Lundy, the players are all young and ambitious. Bobby is taking a sabbatical from his post as director of Jazz studies at the University of Missouri - Kansas City in order to tour this band.

A TITLE

Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2010

Verified Purchase

I'VE LISTENED TO THIS ONE ABOUT 20 TIMES. IT'S STANDARD BOBBY WATSON,WHICH MEANS IT'S A DARN FINE SESSION. SOME ONE REFERED TO WATSON AS A CHARLIE PARKER FOR THE 21ST CENTURY(WHATEVER THAT MEANS). I WILL VENTURE THAT HE GREAT COMMAND OF HIS HORN,A FINE EAR FOR MELODY COMPOSITION AND THE GIFTS THAT MAKE HIM A GREAT IMPROVISER. THIS CD DISPLAYS ALL THE ABOVE,NUFF SAID.

A great jazz record

Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2009

This recording must be destined to be a classic. The opening track Wlkes BBQ has everything- great beat, ensemble playing and solos. As a previous reviewer said Watson is just one of the ensemble- in addition there is oustanding trumpet and the vibes solo fits in perfectly as well. The sound is so upbeat. For Milt is a slower ballad and is another standout. Climbing the Stairs will find you humming along to the the catchy tune. The rest has varying moods and the playing remains flawless. The whole album is as good as it gets for listenable jazz and is a definite five stars. Bobby Watson is a great mentor!

A True Message from a True Messenger

Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2009

Bobby Watson is still carrying the legacy of the Jazz Messengers. This album is a perfect example of that. He remains as bluesy as ever. The hint of gospel, the added spice of the vibes, the cooking rhythm section, and the energy and exuberance of Bobby Watson. When I listen to this it reminds me of seeing him live. When I saw him, I noticed how unselfish a musician he is. You hear that in this album very distinctively. Enjoy this album as you try to comprehend how much jazz legacy flows through his saxophone.

Excellent

Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2009

Bobby Watson blows with so much heart and soul....it's evident in every note and phrase of this CD. 'From the heart' is an apt title. Nice band, take note of Warren Wolf on vibes. Good writing, well-recorded. Highly recommended.

Nice sound

Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2009

Heard Wilkes bbq on accuradio - so nice song. It called my attention as it seemed quiet familiar. As the other reviewer comments, it has intrinsic something of the jazz messengers. But, at the same time, it has a very fresh, non nostalgic feeling. Amazing sound.
