Jim Beard Revolutions. Unlimited Streaming. Digital Download. Purchase and download this album in a wide variety of formats depending on your needs. Jim Beard's reputation as the electric keyboardist for Michael Brecker is his most prominent credit of many others that have for the most part been ignored.
This excellent recording with two different editions and of the Metropole Orchestra and special guest soloists should elevate his cache exponentially, as a composer, performer, and colorist of the highest order. Collaborating with arranger and conductor Vince Mendoza, Beard plays mostly acoustic piano, a little synthesizer, and Fender Rhodes with the acclaimed horns and strings of the premier European big band that has primarily backed singers in past years.
This material has been issued previously on Beard's studio albums, but here they enjoy new treatments and arrangements. The title and its relation to the cover art of a carousel relates directly to the revolving themes heard, not the aspect of this music being revolutionary.
Still, as these are updates and expansions of Beard's previously produced music, you do hear echoes of Seventh Avenue New York City contemporary jazz, majestic classical and ethnic elements welded onto more subtle adaptations that, combined, signal a much wider expansion of Beard's initial concepts. More on the model's catwalk, "Princess" is a staccato-sexy walk in neo-bop mode with Latin trim, a subtle six-beat regal tango with fluttery flute and strident piano identifies "Crossing Troll Bridge," and the soprano sax of Bill Evans buoys an industrial feel, a Baroque section, and funky repose on "Parsley Trees.
Beard and his collaborators have not only played this music pristinely, but programmed it to the point where a greater story is told, demanding you listen from start to finish. This is a recording of outstanding resolve, deserving wider recognition for the exceptional talents of Jim Beard and all the musicians on board. Simply put, these sounds are irresistible if you enjoy the basics of melody, harmony, and rhythm without the constraints of traditional jazz.

Along with his former employer Miles Davis, pianist Herbie Hancock is the other founding father of jazz-fusion. In , his album "Head Hunters" laid down the Holy Scriptures of the most successful union of jazz improvisation and funk psychedelic trance.
Afros and platform boots all around! Thirty years after his death, Miles Davis is still one of the most important musicians of his time. The trumpeter's impressive discography perfectly sums up his perpetually questioning, probing attitude; and also shows how his influence reaches out beyond the world of jazz. These ten albums, selected subjectively from among a sea of revolutionary works, prove it.
