Editorial review

Guitarist Robert Jacobson leads his quartet through nine mellow funk/fusion charts, often dominated (at least in the mix) by Hammond organist Wayne Peet. Jacobson's reverb-drenched guitar is reminiscent of John Scofield, while the band's arrangements suggest a less adventurous Medeski, Martin & Wood. Still, the cats can play. Jacobson himself has quite a range, able to keep the listener engaged through nearly eight minutes of "Dusk," a gently wispy ballad. And though it is a contemporary jazz disc, there is still some studio-induced depth to the recording. "The Airshow" features a well-rounded mix of crisp acoustic and electric guitars, semi-ambient rhythm tracks, periphery percussion, and jaw harp. Despite the attention to detail, though, the music sure could kick a little bit more. ~ Jesse Jarnow, All Music Guide

Bio / Background

Lee Prosser, Jazz Review.com

COLDWATER is an exceptionally good listening experience, one that will enchant jazz audiences with its straight-ahead approach within a framework of solid contemporary jazz performances. The compositions are refreshingly honest and straight forward in their directness, filled with good harmony and melody.

These performances are flawless in their solo and group sets, and each musician is excellent. Wayne Peet on B3 organ gives outstanding performances as does Robert Jacobson on guitar, Clark Sommers on double bass, and Bryon Vannoy on drums. Jeff Eliassen is perfect on trumpet for these songs.

The songs include "Placerita Canyon," "Dusk," "Between B and G," "Banana Bread," among others. Each song reveals the talents of guitarist Robert Jacobson as a contemporary jazz composer.

This CD would make a nice gift for a friend or anybody who is interested in how a gifted composer/guitarist creates fine jazz music.
