Drummer Steve Smith's ToneCenter label continues to rescue jazz fusion from the doghouse of jazz history with The Stranger's Hand, a high-octane quartet affair that features Smith alongside former Mahavishnu Orchestra violinist Jerry Goodman, Allman Brothers bassist Oteil Burbridge, and multi-instrumentalist Howard Levy. Composed spontaneously in the studio over the span of several days, The Stranger's Hand doesn't pull any punches from the first lightning-fast unison runs of "Brick Chicken." It also isn't afraid to show its early-fusion influence, with several tracks uncannily echoing the early Mahavishnu Orchestra. Part of "Glimmer of Hope" is almost a dead ringer for "Dance of the Maya" from Inner Mounting Flame, and there are times when Goodman seems to be doing his best fleet-fingered John McLaughlin imitation. Still, if anyone can pull that off, it's Goodman, whose range on electric and acoustic violin is still extraordinary--he's equally adept at the searing electric-fusion runs of "Caliente" as he is on the bluegrass-New Orleans feel of "Sufferin' Catfish" and the straightahead jazz of "Elvin." Also, there are other spices here that make the disc distinctive, from Burbridge's George Benson -esque scat soloing on "Pinky's Revenge" to the harmonica of Levy (who also doubles on keyboards) that sometimes lends the group a bluesier, more countrified sound. --Ezra Gale

5 out of 5 stars Strangers no longer!!.......2006-07-03


I miss fusion jazz. I missed it so much, I started my own band to play fusion jazz 70-80's style, but that's another story.
What passes for "fusion" these days is like warmed over oatmeal.
On the other "hand", "A Stranger's Hand" grabs you by the shirt collar during the first measure & shakes & throttles you until the end of the last tune!
Holy cow, can these guys play!
I was already familiar with Jerry Goodman... I must have seen him play violin with the Mahavishnu Orchestra six or eight times! Plus, I've got all of his solo cds (which inexplicably are categorized as "new age"!)
I was also familiar with Howard Levy (from his long association with Bela' Fleck).
I was less familiar with Steve Smith who is an outstanding drummer & Otiel Burbridge
Who just blew me away on bass. I read the name & thought "whointhehellisTHISguy?" I sure know NOW!!! Holy cow what a bassist! This guy usually tours with the Allman Brothers??!! No offence to the Allmans, but what a waste of talent!
This guy is almost as good as Victor Wooten (Bela' Fleck) & Kai Eckhardt (Garaj Mahal) !!!
Anyway, the tunes on the album are set up to showcase everyone's enormous talent sufficiently enough to make ME want "A Stranger's Hand, Two!!"
If you liked Mahavishnu, If you love the adventurous nature of Bela Fleck; if you love Garaj Mahal, and, if you love wild, in your face, yet, still (somehow!) thoughtful jazz that makes no compromises to smooth jazz radio, then you must, ABSOLUTELY MUST get this cd!!

Fusion is sometimes considered a dirty word in today's music scene and mostly for good reason. Fusion is all too often watered down fluff or pretentious musical masturbation. The genre is full of virtuosos who are masters of their respective instruments, but who have no idea what
soul is.

One recent exception to this is an album called The Stranger's Hand which is out now on Tone Center. The musicians on the album come from a variety of backgrounds and never had played together before the sessions for this album. The group is held down by drummer Steve Smith. Smith is known quite well in the fusion world, but he originally made a name for himself drumming with Journey. Violinist Jerry Goodman was a member of one of the pioneering bands in fusion, the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Bassist Oteil Burbridge came up playing with Col. Bruce Hampton and the Aquarium Rescue Unit and now plays bass for the Allman Brothers. Piano/harmonica player Howard Levy is a renowned session player who is most famous for his work with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones.

The music on this recording was largely composed on the spot with all members contributing to the writing. The music has s spontaneous feel to it that makes it dynamic and energetic. Smith is an extremely tight and inventive drummer and when he locks up with Oteil's bass the groove is unmistakable. Goodman's violin and Levy's harmonica are the two main voices here and both are very unique. Jerry Goodman plays electric violin throughout, but if you weren't listening carefully enough you could easily mistake his instrument for an electric guitar. Levy is one of the best harmonica players in the world. The harmonica is sort of an underrated instrument, but Levy's playing brings new respect to
the instrument. This release is also provides a nice chance to hear Levy play piano which is a rare treat. Levy is an amazingly gifted musician who seems at home in almost any musical setting. His songs like "Caliente" also provide the compositional highlights of the album.

While this disc is still fusion, it also has an edge and humanity to it. There are no synthesizers or other cheesy effects. My only complaints are that occasionally Goodman sounds a little too much like Eddie VanHalen and that Smith sometimes overplays, but these moments are overshadowed by the all around wonderful playing on 90% of this disc. These guys obviously had fun playing together and you can tell just from listening. There is a lot of genuine interaction and spontaneity. The music incorporates aspects of Jazz, Rock and even Folk and Country into the mix. This is a great release to listen to with headphones while lying down. I don't normally care for fusion, but these guys won me
over with this CD.

4 out of 5 stars a rarity: REAL FUSION JAZZ.......2000-01-17

The compositions are solid, well arranged, and ex-Mahavishnu violinist Goodman improvises with a searing stroke that re-vitalizes an instrument whose reputation was seemingly consigned to the sweetly arcane sweep of Gallic swing. This stuff tears up the sheet music. Especially noteworthy is harmonica ace Howard Levy, whose ability to produce chromatic scales on a regular diatonic harp gives us a cross between Paul Butterfield and , shall we say, Michael Brecker--his play is complex, gutsy, fast, intricate without sacrificing coherence. Jon Popper ought to retire. Steve Smith on drums is superb, Elvin-esque, as in a title here.

3 out of 5 stars Thank You Jerry.......2000-01-06

Goodman is the stylistic savior and musical class of this entourage. Steve Smith certainly has the chops, but shows little restraint here. At times this record sounds like one big drum solo overriding the other participants.

4 out of 5 stars A truly smoking jazz album..............1999-12-04

Fine compositions and none of the usual wanking associated with all-star sessions. They obviously enjoyed themselves, fans of Mahavishnu should be especially impresssed.

Boy George's musical-theater debut has been unfairly maligned. Set in the glamorously decadent London nightlife of the early 1980s, the show is unquestionably hampered by a weak book. But Boy George's original score (which is credited to his actual birth name of George O'Dowd) boasts several strong pop songs and generously spread-out tour-de-force numbers among a handful of performers. The plot follows the rise to fame of Boy George (impeccably channeled by Euan Morton) and his interaction with lovers and hangers-on, friends and foes. One of the most striking characters is Australian-born performance artist Leigh Bowery, confusingly played by Boy George and Matt Lucas, who took turns during the London run and who both appear on this cast album (George sings "Everything Taboo," for instance, but Lucas gets the striking, Cabaret-like "Ich Bin Kunst"). Confused yet? Well, that's Taboofor you. But never mind the plot: There's plenty of cool, theatrical tunes on this CD, which is more than you can say about most contemporary shows. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

3 out of 5 stars Jolly Good!.......2006-06-16

Boy George may be to blame for the failure of his musical in the United States, though he would rather fault Rosie O'Donnell. Still, critics praised him for his lyrical skills here. There are catchy songs with various gay themes here. I enjoyed it though I've never seen the musical. I think musical fanatics will appreciate having this piece in their collection.

5 out of 5 stars Bravo Boy George!.......2004-05-26

Don't hate me, but I saw the Broadway production five times including closing night. I'm still unclear why this tremendous production did not catch on, it was truly amazing. It's the first time that I've seen a Broadway show more than once. I received my Broadway CD today, as I ordered it the day after the show closed - I understand that it will be available in July, 2004, hopefully sooner in time for the Tonys. The soundtrack CD is absolutely brilliant, completely capturing the fire and energy of the live production. My favorites from the show are still my favorites here, especially Euan Morton's haunting Stranger In This World and his beautiful Pretty Lies; Liz McCartney's unbelievable take on Talk Amongst Yourselves; Guttersnipe (so funny and cute live); I See Through You; Raul Esparza's heartbreaking Petrified plus the opener Freak; Out Of Fashion and the finale, Come In From The Outside. My fingers are crossed that the Tony's are generous to this show and hope Rosie O'Donnell keeps her promise for a return for this show! Get a copy, you won't regret it, even if you are not a Boy George fan, his lyrics and beautiful melodies are his best ever - everything here is eons above so many Broadway shows that run for years. I guess I'll just keep wondering why mass audiences didn't get it, although the show did receive a standing ovation every performance.

5 out of 5 stars holy crapper!.......2004-05-18

well first off, being a huge boy george fan... i was interested in his musical... i bought this cd... and i must admit most of the songs are written well and are catchy.... the most touching song is STRANGER IN THIS WORLD... euan morton's voice is soothing and the lyrics are sad and beautiful... and i recommend this album to all boy fans... although this is the london recording.... (as i patiently wait for the broadway score)... this album is good.... although george only sings on one song its still being rotated in my stereo.... get this album now....

5 out of 5 stars A Very Pleasant Surprise.......2004-04-23

I did not see the Broadway Musical, but I am curious why it failed. I bought the cd just out of curiosity and absolutely love it. The songs are witty and the ballads are especially beautiful. I would highly recommend this cd.

5 out of 5 stars No words to describe this.......2004-04-12

My review is going to be short and i'll get right to the point. Buy the soundtrack. The singers are beyond anything you've ever heard before. Euan Morton, be still my heart. His voice is mesmerizing. The song STRANGER IN THIS WORLD will leave you breathless. Just listen to it and you'll be transfixed, I know I was and am everytime.

    Album Description

    David Rakowski's growing catalog of Études for piano has inspired performances and recordings by leading pianists on both sides of the Atlantic. Volume One of Amy Dissanayake's Rakowski Études series (BRIDGE 9121) drew raves for both Rakowski's quirky and witty music and Dissanayake's bold virtuoso pianism.
