5 out of 5 stars More Than A One Hit Wonder!.......2007-06-20

Even though I own several, Various Artists, compilations: I don't care much for them and this band right here is another prime example why. Their well known late 70s chart smash, Baby Come Back, is on one of my ,Various Artists, Disc's and that's it. Nothing else by this Band can be found on any of my ,Various Artists, Disc's and, Player, offered so much more to it's fans than just that one song and this CD proves it.There are about six songs here that I like better than, Baby Come Back. This Band was so talented and so underrated and as of the date of this Review; there wasn't even a Spotlight Review for this CD. Besides, Baby Come Back, I did remember three other Songs here on my first listen but my biggest surprise were tunes I had never heard before. This (Two LP's On One CD) is solid from start to finish.....Outstanding! I was going to purchase their, Best Of Player, CD here at Amazon and right at the last second I decided to purchase this one and I am glad I did because only a few of these songs are on the, Best Of, CD. People have different tastes in music but to me this is great.
Final Note: If you are concerned about the sound quality on this CD: don't be; because it is great too.

1 out of 5 stars Player/Danger Zone.......2007-06-02

The song I remember most from this group: "Baby Come Back" That song rates 5 stars by itself - the disc overall - 3 stars!

5 out of 5 stars PLAYER- AHEAD OF THEIR TIME........2005-02-01

I OWN 10 CDS OF PLAYER/PETER BECKETT. I NEVER GET TIRED OF LISTENING TO ANY OF THEM. I DON'T KNOW OF ANY OTHER BAND/ARTIST THAT CREATES PERFECTION WITH THEIR INSTRUMENTS, WRITING, AND VOICES COMBINED. THE WORDS GO STRAIGHT TO THE HEART AND SOUL. PETER'S RANGE IS LIKE NONE I'VE EVER HEARD. HE PULLS YOU IN WITH HIS BLUE EYED SOUL HIGH NOTES, AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT HE'S MAKING LOVE TO YOU WITH HIS LOW, SOFT, SEXY WHISPERS.AND FOR THE GUYS, THERE'S AWESOME GUITAR RIFFS! IF YOU LOVE DANGER ZONE. THEN DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND BUY EVERYTHING WITH THE BECKETT/PLAYER NAME ON IT. LIKE TAYA SAID, THEY ARE SO UNDER-RATED. THE NEW BANDS TODAY SHOULD LISTEN AND LEARN.

5 out of 5 stars How do I begin?.......2002-05-05

One Way records has done it again! A must buy/have. This is a fun CD. The manner in which the music was written and played instrumentally will bring smiles to your face. This CD touts the original songs in their original 1977 & 1978 sequence which is always good!

Additionally this CD has two album/compilations "Player" and "Danger Zone".

If you are looking for memories as to a very different yet marvelous time in music this is it. From the hit, "Baby Come Back" to "Melanie"--the tunes are all gloriously here. (Note: Sadly, Player must have forseen their own demise with the great tunes "Cancellation" and "Tryin' to Write A Hit Song").

The price is outstanding for the two-fer offering here. Grab it up before it goes out-of-print.

5 out of 5 stars It's About Time!.......2001-09-08

One of the greatest and most overlooked bands of the late 70's/early 80's! Player is pure west-coast pop/rock! Much in the vein of Hall and Oates, but with a little more of a rock edge! Peter Beckett has a fantastic vocal range which is pure listenig pleasure. Baby come back is a classic rock #1 billboard charting music staple! But, for the real fan's like myself it's the obsure album tracks that are my favorite such as:Love In The Danger Zone,Prisoner Of Your Love,Movin'Up,and Cancellation to name a few.If you love fantastic up beat pure 80's rock you'll want this fantastic c.d. in your collection! It's my favorite c.d. and I have alot of them!

      5 out of 5 stars Much enjoyment from this album.......2006-07-30

      Having heard Dachman's music from my sister-in-law who is one of his patients, I ended up searching for his albums and ran across these on Amazon. "GREAT MUSICIAN" I have enjoyed this Album very much.

      5 out of 5 stars DACHMAN SHINES AT THE KEYBOARD OF LIFE.......2000-01-18

      Despite the fact that I have known the artist for over 15 years, this is an UNBIASED review. Adam knows that I am his second-toughest critic after himself! I have been through all the tracks on "ECHOES IN THE CANYON" many times and am privy to much of the artist's creative process and the stories behind the songs. What the listener must key into is the fact that Adam is--first and foremost--a Man of Medicine. There is a healing quality to his music, not unlike the physical healing that he brings to his patients. His music is at once delicate and powerful, always unencumbered. "ECHOES" also demonsrates the versatility of style of which Adam is capable. From the first listening one gleans that this is not only art but, also, communication. There is great sensitivity coming forth and the piano is both the instrument and conduit. Finally, there is an almost improvisational quality to Adam's music belying his structured songwriting and scholarly approach to the keyboard. Adam's skill as a surgeon makes for too easy a metaphor (does the man really "operate" at the piano?). Suffice to say, he is well-schooled in the ways of the hand and the incision won't leave a scar.

      5 out of 5 stars The music touched me.......1999-04-13

      At first glance, never having heard of this artist I was reluctant, but friends recommended him to me. Within the first few measures of Gabrielle's theme I was hooked. A gorgeous first effort by this very talented musician. Bravo

          Album Description

          2 LPs on 1 CD - Color Him Funky & H.R. Is A Dirty Guitar Player. Music history was made in February 1963 at Capitol Records' Studio A in Hollywood. That's when Howard Roberts began recording a series of albums that would set the standard for compelling guitar-oriented arrangements. The series (beginning with Color Him Funky and H.R. Is A Dirty Guitar Player) capitalized on the interplay between guitar and organ (courtesy Paul Bryant and Burkley Kendrix, respectively). Howard's playing is superb, sophisticated and at times ferocious, with blistering solos that testify to the hard-driving style of this architect of the 60's West Coast Sound. Sundazed. 2002.

          5 out of 5 stars IMMENSE!.......2006-07-21

          Generally I tend not to pick words from other reviewers but this case is different. Mr Sadd thinks this work is excellent but dated. I want to add a brief answear in my review. If these two albums from Howard Roberts are dated I am Santa Claus. If these albums are dated the jazz history in its entirely is dated, something which obviously is not. Probbaly Mr Sadd and me have two completly different tastes in jazz. He likes J Scofield. When I heard J Scofield I tend to fall asleep, he is one of the most boring Jazz guitar player of all time in my opinion (and I know them all). I respect him, but I don't like him. If I have to pick a modern player I'd pick Joe Diorio probably. Second for me comes J McLaughlin. Certainly not Scofzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzz sorry I fell asleep. =)))) The end. These two albums are absolutly stratospheric, skyscraper tall, eternal Jazz. My friends, this is some of the best music I have ever heard no matter the 7000 thousands jazz cds I own. Howard Roberts in these records is unbelievable. He stands absolutly near the greatest musicians Jazz guitar ever offered (Wes, Johnny Smith, Joe Pass, Tal Farlow, Jimmy rainey and many others). I totally agree with the amazon reviewer, "Howard's playing is superb, sophisticated and at times ferocious, with blistering solos that testify to the hard-driving style of this architect of the 60's West Coast Sound". I'd add that is guitar tone is superb, pure vintage 175. Buy this cd, you'll find two amazing records (they are two as a matter of fact, HR is a dirty guitar player and Color him funky) that you'll listen for a long long time. Absolutly one of the best buy you can do. 5 stars for each albums, so this cd deserves at least 10!! I really love this! Thanks Mr Howard Roberts WONDERFUL guitar player!!!!!!!!!!

          Some time later .... I can't stop myself. I have to say something more about these albums (they are two, do you remember?), now that I know them by memory, note for note. I think this combination makes one of the greatest jazz guitar albums of all time. Apart from Wes Montgomery stuff that is the greatest ever, Howard with this "compilation" comes first. his playing is sublime in my opinion. Only Hank Garland and some Barney Kessel stuff from the fifties come close, but Howard is the best. There are a lot of more difficult albums than this one especially in guitar a place where auto indulgence is very common, but this one is incredibly funny and lovely and absolutly perfect in its balance between technique and heart. I am a Jazz guitar player. I listen this one almost everyday. Immense.

          3 out of 5 stars A Piece of History.......2005-09-12

          I'm a fan of Jim Mullen and John Scofield and anything in between. Howard Roberts' playing on this release is technically faultless, but his note choices while soloing, and the material itself, are not my cup of tea. It sounds dated - commercially geared towards a contemporary mass buyer - where stuff like 'Kind of Blue' does not. To a listener of the 21st century, this material sounds somewhat twee. The words 'dirty' and 'funky' have different musical connotations nowadays, and there's nothing dirty or funky here in today's terms. Likely to appeal to the older buyer who likes Chet Atkins and Les Paul. I won't give it a high rating, because I don't really like it, but I won't give it a low rating either, becausee it is excellent in its own way. Howard Roberts' educational material is superb, however, and still groundbreaking and innovative in its approach.

          5 out of 5 stars Swingin' Like Mad.......2003-09-05

          This two-fer CD has to be one of the swingingest guitar/organ albums ever made and one of the swingingest jazz albums period. Granted, it's light jazz, but it still swings like mad. There's nothing abrasive here. It's all very accessible and easy to listen to. It's music to get happy with for sure. The tunes are all concise and to the point. Narry a wasted note anywhere. And the musicians are clearly enjoying the hell out of what they're playing, too.

          Howard Roberts' virtuosity is astounding and I can't imagine a more complimentary group of side men to accompany him. Berghoffer, bass, and Palmer, drums are rock solid, steady and tasteful. The organists, Bryant and Kendrix, while different in style, mesh beautifully with Roberts' concept.

          Everything works well and even a schmaltzy Days of Wine & Roses is given a fantastic, original treatment.

          The cd itself is first rate. Several session photos not included in the original packages are included as are track times, recording dates, all original liner notes, photos and new liner notes by Jim Carlson. The music was remastered in stereo and the sound quality is excellent for both albums, although you will want to turn the volume up some when H.R. is a Dirty Guitar Player begins.

          Although both albums are excellent, my preference is H.R. because it seems to be just a little more cohesive than Color. To me, the sign of a great album is how many times you want to listen to it. I used to play H.R. to death when I owned the mono L.P. And now with the stereo cd, I'm discovering it all over again.

          So, if you want something to get you happy, it doesn't get any better than this two-fer.
