Goin Public

Description

'A new group that debuts with a very, VERY promising disc is the group Goin' Public with their self-titled album on Four Winds Records. Blending jazz and hip hop, they roll smooth on the opening 'Windowpain' ...on the rest of the CD groove runs high for the quartet that is augmented with special guests that include bass clarinetist Bennie Maupin (Herbie Hancock), bassist Alphonso Johnson (Weather Report) and trumpet player Oscar Brashear (Joe Sample).' Scott Galloway, The Urban network 'The music is funky, yes, but it's also trying to tell you something...there are words in the guitar solos, there are screams in the horns, there are gunshots in the drum beats...' Hear Music Feature 'Nowhere on this CD are the words 'acid jazz' mentioned but some of the selections are quite successful in combining together jazz solos with danceable rhythms...even better are the occasional sax solos of Rick Rossi, trumpeter Oscar Brashear's appearance on 'Out Of The Blue,' the contributions of leader-guitarist Johnnie Valentino and many of the catchier grooves...' Scott Yanow, LA Jazz Scene 'Goin Public features cameos from top shelf guest stars... Guitarist/leader Johnnie Valentino ranges from tasty soul-jazz to heady post-bop, occasionally revealing hints of longtime associate Pat Martino...' JazzTimes.
