This cello and guitar duet is a real treat and the best I have heard.

Oliver & Thad

A terrific tribute for two jazz greats.

The Message

The message is clear - this band can play!!!!

A happening tune - that speaks for itself!!!!!

Rodney Jones and Regina Carter make beautiful......beautiful music together!!!! Some things are beyond words -- this is one of them and you must hear it to experience it!!!!

Circus Wheel

This is a wheel worth traveling on!!! The music is fantastic - Rodney at his best!!!!

3rd Orbit

This is indeed one of the best musical journey's I have ever taken - all you have to do is listen and you are there.

The Undiscovered Few

The title cut seems rather appropriate. Rodney is one of the giants among musicians as evidenced by his many years of being a sideman to many of the leaders in jazz. Rodney has always been an innovative player and a leader. He is a favorite to those who have had a chance to hear him. While being a giant among many Rodney has somehow managed to be one of the "Undiscovered Few" to the general public. His playing here certainly places him in the league with many of the great guitarist including George Benson, Kenny Burrell, Charlie Christian, Grant Green and Wes Montgomery. Those of us who have known Rodney and his music for many years consider ourselves fortunate to be able experience a history of great artistry. We welcome the newcomers. With this kind of musicianship there will be many of you who will be glad to discover The Undiscovered Few.

Rodney Jones is a veteran guitarist who plays in the house band for Rosie O'Donnell's television show and has served as musical director for Ruth Brown and Lena Horne. But on his Blue Note debut (and fourth CD as a leader), his estimable writing and arranging skills aren't as reliable as his prior outings. Some tunes fudge the fine line between stark beauty and banality ("Dreamers in Love" and the cello-guitar duet "Through the Eyes of a Child"), some are ambitiously multitextured but lack cohesion and momentum (the Ornettish "The Message" and the Mingusian "Circus Wheel"), and too many simply fade out in lieu of any ensemble resolution. But Jones's warm tone and liquid phrases pleasantly recall George Benson on "Tradewinds," and the sprightly horn riffage on "Oliver & Thad" (as in Nelson and Jones, respectively) is an appropriate homage to those big-band arrangers. "Lesson Time" is a fleet but still funky toe-tapper, and the standard "My Favorite Things" is given an innovative arrangement that retains its sense of joyful blossoming. The youthful pianist Shedrick Mitchell is especially noteworthy among Jones's core ensemble, and trumpeter Tim Hagans blows with riveting ferocity on his cameo. --Britt Robson
