Staff Writer
With an album called Paradise, the
n;vv Grover Washington Jr. has surfaces
r'im. The word "new refers to the Bob
James-less albums Washington has been
producing of late.
Washington has ventured onto his own
as a producer a move which began with
live at The Bijou and Reed Seed. Gone
are the tremendous orchestral
arrangements and jazz-classical
movement James incorporated when he
was Washington's producer.
Washington has also developed his
own traveling band. When he was with
James, the band numbered about 40, but
now there are only six. The group is so
spontaneous, it seems as if the group
could easily set up in someone's backyard
with no problem.
Paradise encompasses more of the
fundamentals of jazz music than have
Washington's previous albums. "Shana
begins with a chill, but then transforms
into something more mellow. (It's
dedicated to G.W. Jr.'s daughter.)
Washington's tenor sax is as bad as ever
on Tell Me About It Now." And to top it
off, he even plays accoustic piano during
one part.
Washington's ever-present
percussionist Leonard "Doc" Gibbs is
something else, especially on the title cut
and "Feel It Comin'." Gibbs must have
definitely felt it.
The best tune is the title cut it's iust
funky enough. "The Answer In Your
Eyes has the romantic guitar, the soft
congas and the reeds which mean dine
and wine time.
Paradise a good album for
Washington, the dude with the Super
Sax.
It's Laws time again. And Hubert
Laws brought his siblings along again for
the action on Land of Passion.
Jazz saxophonist Ronnie Laws
composed "We Will Be. Debra and
Johnny Laws are the featured soloists,
and Eloise and Blanche Laws back them
up.
The main Laws is Hubert. He won't get
lost amidst his family because of a song
entitled "Heartbeats.' It's thumping,
features no vocals and focuses on
Hubert's flute. "The Key" is one
vocalization when Hubert gets overcome
by the sibling rivalry, but "Music
Forever offers a compromise the
sisters sing and Hubert plays.
The brothers duo combined again on
"We Will Be. Ronnie begins with his sax
and Hubert cleans up with his flute. The
brothers are good, individually as well as
in collaboration.
Each cut on the album offers
something different. The title cut features
Debra and Johnny in unison with the
lyrics and they eventually back up
Hubert's flute with the vocal harmony of
"doo-wahs and "la-las".
Some people said Laws' previous
album Say It With Silence was great.
Land of Passion is at least that good.

2 Faced
Fiddlers meet
I'm usually pretty wary when someone tells
me an album is great, but I still insist the new
album by No Dice, 2 Faced, is excellent. It is
the best rock and roll album I've heard this
year the best album since Armed Forces.
The guitarist on the cover may look punk,
but this British band is rock and roll all the
way. The first two tunes open the album with a
charge. The loud vocals and guitars are the
strength. They may not pave much new
ground, but this is an excellent rock and roll
band they're not heavy metal, arid they
actually have nice harmonies.
AM- and FM-style cuts are mixed (2
faced?), presumably for promotional and
financial reasons. But 2 Faced is a fine album
that could become well-known if radio stations
and record stores put it in the public ear.

Wilbert Longmire is a relative
unknown among the jazz listening crowd.
But he's alive and making some noise
with his release. Champagne.
He's a Bob James protege, (Longmire
plays on BJ's label) so he uses his
orchestra and all that other contractual
stuff. The important thing is that
Longmire is a rising guitarist and is into
the Bob . James sound. "Diane's
Dilemma" and "Ragtown" are two of
BJ's compositions.
" The usual people Harvey Mason,
Gary King, Eric Gale and the Brecker
Brothers perform for Longmire and BJ
on this album. Earth, Wind & Fire
"Love's Holiday" is a hit song thatY
adequately performed by Longmire is
vocals and all.
Jay Chattaway, Maynard Ferguson's
producer, composed "Pleasure Island." It
features good background vocal
harmony, but the song itself is long and
monotonous.
"Funshine" is a Longmire original
the only one. Without the background
horns, it reminds one of George Benson
just a bit. Even though the album lacks
originality overall, "Funshine" shows
potential.
The average jazz listener would
probably assume Champagne is really a
Bob James album with the name Wilbert
Longmire on the cover. Although there is
a little truth in that statement, Longmire
deserves some credit for creating
basically a fair album, even though he
was under James' supervision.
Hubert Laws and family
Like Grover Washington Jr.,
Longmire should soon be on his own with
an album even better than Champagne.
Richard Tee is also one of Bob James'
pupils. But on his first solo album,
Strokin', Tee is the man behind the
keyboards. Unlike Wilbert Longmire,
Tee uses a wider variety of composers on
his album, although the band members
are basically the same.
"Virginia Sunday," composed by Tee,
brings forth memories of Lonnie Liston
Smith's music. The keyboards are like
. bells into something quiet and innocent.
But Stevie Wonder's song "Jesus
Children of America," which found its
way onto Tee's album, probably never
should have taken that route.
