Alex Webb & The
Copasetics - Call Me Lucky is A
Copasetic Production for Splash Point
Music, Ltd. that was produced by Andy
Cleyndert and Executive Producer Neal
Richardson.
The release opens with the catchy,
upbeat song, It's Your Move featuring
the vocals of Vimala
Rowe to complement Alex Webb on
piano, Andrew Cleyndert on bass, Andy Chapman on drums, and the big band
horn section with Freddie Gavita on
trumpet, Winston Rollins on trombone,
Denys Baptiste on tenor saxophone,
and Nathaniel Facey alto saxophone.
Next in the line-up is Winters, which Alex co-wrote with Ayana Witter-Johnson who lends her
vocals and also plays cello on this song, with Alex Webb on piano, Miles
Danso on bass, Sophie Alloway on
drums, Jo Caleb on guitar, and Andres Ticino on percussion.
Me And My Crazy Ideals features vocalist David McAlmont, then segues into one of many favorites on the
release, Bad Girls (Need Love Too),
with China Moses working her magic
on the snappy lyrics. The release continues with the lament, As If featuring Sandra Nkaké, followed by the title track, Call
Me Lucky featuring the vocals of Alexia
Gardner.
Alexander Stewart is the featured vocalist on Infatuation with Sue Richardson layering in the trumpet to make this song sing the right
note. Another favorite of mine is the track,
Open The Windows (Tudo Bem) featuring vocalist Cherise Coryna with Sue Richardson again contributing.
China Moses and Alex Webb teamed up
to write Nothing But A Blues where
she also adds her lovely vocals. Put your swing dancing shoes on and grab your
sweetheart before you give a listen to Enough
which had me in the mood to dance to Allan
Harris' vocals and those sexy horns. Vimala
Rowe again contributes her vocals to Low,
Low Places (Parts I & II), and Jo Harrop's vocals enhance the Latin
beat of End Of The Affair.
The
release closes with the talented British
Jazz vocalist and pianist Liane
Carroll working her magic on the Alex Webb song, Words I Never Spoke, which is just Liane's voice and her piano. For
those unfamiliar with Liane Carroll, she sets the standard for Jazz excellence.
In 2005, she received two BBC Jazz Awards for Best Vocalist and Best of Jazz,
and in 2006 she won the Marston Pedigree Jazz Award for best vocalist. 2008
brought another award as Jazz Musician of the Year in the Parliamentary Jazz
Awards, in 2012, her release Up and Down
won Jazz Album of the Year category at the Parliamentary Jazz Awards, and in
2016 she won a Gold award from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers
and Authors (BASCA). I had the pleasure of hearing Liane play in London in 2003
for her release, Billy No Mates, on
the Splash Point Records label, and knew then that she would not be without
friends for long.
From start to finish, Alex Webb has
crafted a winning release featuring some of the "best of the best" of Jazz
talents. This is release that you will definitely want to add to your
collection.
