Der begnadete Gitarrist, Arrangeur und Produzent Doc Powell hat sich sowohl in der Jazz - als auch in der Funkszene große Reputation beim Publikum und seinen Musikerkollegen erworben. So verwundert es nicht, dass sich aktuelle Jazzgrößen wie der Tenorsaxofonist Kirk Whalum, der Keyboarder Bobby Lyle sowie Sänger und Pianist Brian Culbertson unter der Führung von Powell zu Höchstleistungen animieren lassen. Während viele, der auf seinem selbstbetitelten Album agierenden Musiker bereits altgediente Veteranen in Sachen Kooperation mit Doc Powell sind, wirkt Culbertson in diesem illustren Kreis erstmals mit.
Nachdem sich der New Yorker Doc Powell in seinem Vorgängerwerk '97th and Columbus' schon intensiv mit der Renovierung der zeitgenössischen Jazz- und Gospelmusik beschäftigt hat, vollzieht er nun eine unerwartete Kehrtwendung in Richtung Soulfunk, Retro R&B, die er mit brillanten Rock- und Jazzelementen aufmischt. Tracks wie „It's Too Late', Let Go“, „Together We Can“ oder „Another Place & Time“ glänzen mit ihren direkt auf Herz und Gemüt zielenden Melodien und ihren unwiderstehlichen Grooves. Die Songauswahl ist stimmig, das Personal hoch motiviert, und Doc Powells akustisches und elektrifiziertes Gitarrenspiel zwischen Smooth Jazz und Funk ist einfach pure Magie.
Los Angeles…It’s taken veteran guitarist Doc Powell two decades and the celebration of his tenth solo record to reveal that he’s been in the closet, hiding his passion for the acoustic and classical style of guitar. But core fans of his patented electric guitar licks won’t be disappointed, because Powell blends dueling guitar styles and yet another dimension to his arsenal of skills on his self-titled new set. The contrasting styles are brilliantly displayed on the records lead single, “It’s Too Late,” an inspired groove-laden arrangement of Carole King’s classic seventies hit which also features special guest appearances by Grammy award winning saxophonist Kirk Whalum and chart-topping keyboardist, Brian Culbertson.
Powell has built a legacy as a musical chameleon, traversing from one genre to another without losing a beat. He’s contributed to over 125 recordings of some of the premiere recording stars in R & B/Pop, like Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Teddy Pendergrass, and enjoyed a 12-year stint recording and performing with the late Luther Vandross. He’s also played with jazz greats Lonnie Liston-Smith, Bob James, the late Grover Washington Jr., and Stanley Clark, and with gospel superstars, Shirley Caesar, The Might Clouds of Joy, Ce Ce Winans, Yolanda Adams, Donnie McClurkin, and performed and recorded with gospel’s record-breaking superstar Kirk Franklin since 2002.
In fact, Powell, who has personally financed and run his own homespun record label, DPR Music Group, with his life partner and wife of 25 years, (and former manager of the late Phyllis Hyman) started recording his new set on buses, in hotel rooms, and backstage while touring with Franklin on his mega three-month national “Hero,” tour launched in November 2005. “Doc Powell,” is his third release with Heads Up.
