Leon Ware
Born:
A music maker for four decades, Leon's list of impressive credits includes classic recordings by Quincy Jones, Minnie Riperton, Michael Jackson, Maxwell, Average White Band and of course, the late Marvin Gaye (whose Ware-written and produced "I Want You" LP remains a seminal Motown album). The hypnotically evocative "Loceans" expresses a romantic love and lust for life. In the tradition of his prior recordings and work with others, songs on the new album like "Just Take Your Time," "Hold Tonight" and "Smoovin'" are love-filled odes, a heady mix of fantasy and reality. The 12-track collection of new Ware-produced material will be in stores on August 12, 2008. Moon Ride is the Detroit native's first major label album in over two decades and represents the culmination of a very active period in Leon's career

Jose James: No Beginning No End
by Enrique Turpin
Tal vez no sea intención de José James (Mineápolis, 1978) reemplazar a D'Angelo en el reinado del neo-soul que se empezó a fraguar a mediados de los años 90, pero puede que lo logre sin proponérselo. En su cuarto trabajo --y primero para Blue Note-- ha recuperado el testigo que seguía en el suelo a la ...
Interview: Leon Ware (Part 2)
Like many jazz artists, soul singer Marvin Gaye built his post-1970 career on bucking the system. It's hard to believe now, but Motown initially resisted Gaye's What's Going On (1971). The album didn't fit the tried and true formula that drove the label's bottom line. But after the album's release and success--featuring Gaye's searing commentary on ...
Interview: Leon Ware (Part 1)
The post-1970 recordings of Marvin Gaye really can't be considered purely soul. There's too much jazz-influenced sophistication in Gaye's delivery and accompanying orchestrations to sum up these albums that simply. Each of Gaye's LPs from this period was a concept album, and Gaye's artistic independence and socio-romantic messages were daring and groundbreaking. Of the eight albums ...
