Notes
The concept of Fresh Squeezed was to take a number of chord changes to existing tunes and create new melodies and treatments. Almost all of the selections on this recording were created using this formula. All of the tunes are original compositions except for Horace Silver's "Split Kick." An additional goal was to create memorable melodies that employed "meaningful simplicity," a philosophy referred to by Silver in the liner notes to one of his albums as his own compositional approach. This CD is also a collaborative effort of musical brotherhood in multiple configurations with the regular members of my quartet, David Clark, Dwight Dozier, and Doug Elmore being joined or replaced by an all-star list of jazz musicians including saxophonists, Antonio Hart and Mark Gross; trombonist Delfeayo Marsalis; trumpeter Ansyn Banks; bassists Rufus Reid, Tyrone Wheeler, and David Pulphus; drummers Winard Harper and Robert Griffin; and guitarist Jeff Sherman. The CD opens with Horace Silver's take on the chord changes to the 1942 Mack Gordon and Harry Warren standard, "There Will Never Be Another You." "Split Kick" was originally featured on the 1954 Jazz Messengers A Night at Birdland recording. Here the original arrangement is recreated featuring an alto sax battle between Dave and Antonio along with the rhythm section that includes Tyrone Wheeler and Robert Griffin. "Sweet Cakes and Honey," the next tune on the recording is a 12-bar blues that reflects the emotional connection with the soul food that is synonymous many African American neighborhoods. Throughout the history of jazz in urban areas, food has long been an inspiration for not only tune titles, but also the earthy feel of the arrangements, especially during the 1950s when soul jazz was made popular by groups such as the Cannonball Adderley Quintet. Robert and Tyrone help to set up an infectious groove that makes this tune as soulful as the food delicacy after which it is named, while Dave and Antonio again strut their stuff on their altos. Next up is an original that was inspired by Coltrane's minor blues classic, "Equinox." "Summer Solstice" uses the same minor blues chord sequence and is a showcase for horns Delfeayo, Mark and Dave, along with Winard and David Pulphus joining me in the rhythm section. The three-horn front line allows for a harmonized second statement of the melody. Despite the relative simplicity of both the form and the melody, the title, "Summer Solstice," references a significant astronomical event that happens only once a year. Delfeayo, Mark, and David Pulphus take us on a stratospheric journey as the featured soloists here. The title track, "Fresh Squeezed" is the next tune on the CD. Featuring Clark on alto saxophone, Jeff Sherman on guitar, Rufus Reid on bass and Dwight on drums, this tune is based on the chord changes to Duke Ellington's "Just Squeeze Me." This is the tune that inspired the concept of the entire recording. The title also plays upon the idea of creating something tasty and new from fresh squeezed oranges or lemons. There is nothing more savory than fresh squeezed orange juice or lemonade to start off your day or to quench your thirst on a hot summer day. The laid-back feel of this easy-going swing tune is great for kicking back and relaxing. The classic rendition of this tune recalls the days of vintage jazz recordings from the 1950s. If you like straight ahead swing, this tune will tickle your toes for tapping. The fifth tune on the CD is a beautiful ballad entitled "Indigo Dreams." Owing it's creation to the chords of Marvin Fisher and Jack Segal's American songbook classic, "When Sunny Gets Blue," Dreams is performed by the members of the quartet. Dave's sensitive saxophone rendering is a perfect compliment for the new melody that I wrote to these familiar changes. This tune attempts to capture the wistful, melancholy feelings of dreams not quite fulfilled. This selection is dedicated to the memory of another of our musi
