As a fine musician and businessman, Cory knows how to produce recordings with great artistic integrity, and salability. By recording some of the best musicians locally, nationally and internationally, and with excellent graphics and art work, Cory has documented important moments of history for this art form.
Take away the sinuous vocalastics of Philip Bailey and the rollicking bass lines of Verdine White and replace them with the consummate acuity and effortless poise of Cory Weeds on alto saxophone and the kinetics of Mike LeDonne’s Hammond B3 organ and you still have the many splendoured music of Earth Wind & Fire ebulliently deployed and uplifting on . The saxophonist and the organist bring the music alive in a wholly new idiom, their airy nimbleness matched with a richness of sound that has all to do with the dynamic range and balance of both instrumentation – the atmospheric howl of woodwinds and the low growl of the Hammond – and ingenious reharmonisation of familiar repertoire from the iconic ensemble.
The Cellar is one of those special jazz clubs and I just love it. I had a ball playing with Cory’s band: he’s such a dear heart and a great musician.
The hardest working man in the jazz-business!
