iTunes Review
Jimmy Greene is a fine saxophonist who studied with Jackie McLean and played with Horace Silver; he’s also released a number of solo albums since his 2000 major label debut, Brand New World. Greene has a full-bodied sound that brings to mind John Coltrane, and his compositions draw from the classic jazz sounds of the ‘60s. On The Overcomer’s Suite, a 2008 digital-only release, he leads a fully sympathetic band: pianist Xavier Davis, bassist Luques Curtis, and drummer Kendrick Scott. The album, which was recorded at a live show in Hartford, Connecticut, is made up of the title cut — a lengthy four-part suite — plus two other pieces and video files of a live performance and an interview. Greene burns brightly on soprano sax on the suite’s second section, “Song for Isaiah,” a piece written for the musician’s son. The opener, “Anthem of Hope,” a tribute to the visionary Ornette Coleman, finds Greene displaying a masterful command of tenor sax. The album’s penultimate track is a moving version of Bud Powell’s “I’ll Keep Loving You” where finely accompanied by Davis on piano, Greene makes a strong statement.
Customer Reviews
The Overcomer's Suite
Hey now someone should write a review on this! I'm tired of this whole "ooh everything needs to be a certain way" thing. People only like what? Pop and Hip Hop now? Yeah. I like plenty of the mainstream things, but seriously, this is freaking me out. Has the human race always been this boring? This guy is good, and no one even cares! But anyways, he sounds really interesting, and plays really well. He doesn't sounds dry or boring, so, that's good.
Lucques is my boy!
Lucques Curtis is the man..i like the sound of this cd Jimmy Greene is an amazing artist..
great music!
powerful chords and rhythm. Fantastic job!
