Music reviews of Soul on Ten
Music Review: +1/2 -- Blues, rock and jazz guitarist captured live
Rating: 3 Stars
It's hard to believe, but guitarist Robben Ford is marking his 40th year as a working musician, having moved to San Francisco to form his first band in 1969. Stints with Charlie Musselwhite, Jimmy Witherspoon, and Tom Scott's L.A. Express eventually led to the founding of the Yellowjackets and a solo career. Ford's early work in the blues gave way to jazz sets with Miles Davis and the forging of a progressive sound that melds blues, jazz and rock. This latest release features eight tracks taped live at San Francisco's Independent, and two more recorded live in the studio.
Ford and his backing trio of bass, drums and B-3 organ work through severa; catalog favorites, including the roaring guitar instrumental "Indianola" on which Toss Panos' drums drive as Ford brilliantly intertwines rock and blues leads with jazz chordings. Ford's guitar shows plenty of muscle on Willie Dixon's "Spoonful," and the straight blues medley of Elmore James' "Please Set a Date" and Jimmy Reed's "You Don't Have to Go" give both Ford and organist Neal Evans a chance to show off their licks.
Ford revisits "Nothing to Nobody" here for a third time; originally released on 1999's Supernatural, and played live on 2004's Center Stage, this eleven-minute take makes room for some funky solos by Ford, Evans and bassist Travis Carlton. Ford recalls the rock-soul sounds of San Francisco's ballrooms with wah-wah pedal workouts on "Supernatural" and "There'll Never Be Another You." The two studio tracks that close the CD sound out of place, and could have better been replaced by more tracks from the gig. As it is, the titles only reach back to 1999, though the blues covers give a feel for Ford's earlier roots. 3-1/2 stars, if allowed fractional ratings. [©2009 hyperbolium dot com]
Description of Soul on Ten
This stunning live recording captures legendary guitarist Robben Ford at his very best, perfectly displaying his unique style; one that combines, yet transcends, his roots in jazz, fusion, blues, soul and rock, distilling the past into the moment,and always with an eye on the future. "I wanted to capture that experience of playing live. "I find it has a lot more impact than a studio recording. Music is a living, breathing thing. Real art is timeless. It doesn't have a beginning and an end. It's all about the present moment," Ford says. Soul on Ten was Recorded Live at The Independent in San Francisco,CA throughout the month of April 2009.The album includes Robben Ford's classics, as well as three brand new Robben Ford compositions.
