Charles Earland: Intensity
by AAJ Staff
You hear it at once: a different sound, not always for the better. The music was changing, and Charles Earland joined his easy groove to the lush CTI sound so popular at the time. Results vary: the Burner is hot but too many horns spoil the brew. Take “Goin' Home": a rock guitar crashes through the ...
Charles Earland: Intensity
by Douglas Payne
For 1972's Intensity, Charles Earland's fifth of ten Prestige discs, the Mighty Burner seemed to be aiming toward something a little different than his usual collection of soulful tenor-organ jams. The presence of two songs from the rock group Chicago and a small trumpet-dominated horn section indicate that jazz-rock was the goal. The result, the LP's ...
Charles Earland: Organomically Correct
by Douglas Payne
Organist Charles Earland recorded nine albums for the Muse label between 1977 and 1995.

Charles Earland: Live
by Ed Kopp
There's nothing subtle about Charles Earland's brand of soul-jazz. “The Burner" has always treated his organ as a rhythm instrument, attacking chords and arpeggios with unrestrained gusto. Having witnessed an Earland performance around the time this CD was recorded, I can certify that the man is an indefatigable performer with a very tight band.This ...
Charles Earland: Blowing the Blues Away
by Jack Bowers
In spite of its tasteless and repulsive jacket illustration, this is my kind of Jazz! — thoroughly energetic, grandly inventive and swinging from start to finish. Also, one of the finest outings to date by young tenor lion Eric Alexander, which is saying a lot, as I admire almost every note he’s played since he started ...
