REVIEW: (Jazz Escapades CD): Mellow and sparkling! Reviewer: Kathy Parsons I have reviewed several of Clayton Wrightâs solo piano albums in the past, but this is the first one with his trio. âJazz Escapadesâ sparkles with the joy of making music and interacting with like-minded musicians. Wright helms the Trio at the piano, and is joined by Mark Miley on drums and Billy Brockmann on bass. The music creates the ambiance of a jazz lounge where the mood is easy and upbeat. The Trio melds improvisation with composition, and all of the pieces are smooth and mellow, drawing from bebop, cool, and traditional jazz stylings. Wright composed all of the music, and, to these ears, this is by far his best album to date. Quite a few of the songs have been on Wrightâs solo piano albums, but the Trio breathes new life into them and makes them really shine. Although the mood is fairly consistent from start to finish, the pieces are distinctive, making this CD easy on the ears in the background or with full concentration. The CD opens with âUltracool Cats,â a piece that is a bit aloof and yet playful, setting the tone for the album. âNightlifeâ is one of my favorites - cool, silky, and graceful - what a great tune for a slow dance! I really like âMirage,â too. On the dark side, it hides a mysterious secret as it teases and tantalizes. âThe Humble Bumblebeeâ is as easy-going as they come as it moseys from flower to flower without a care in the world. âAfterglowâ is a bit more reflective and thoughtful. âMomentumâ is more energetic, but remains in the cool and breezy groove. âDriftwoodâ floats freely on a cloud of sea foam, in no rush to go anywhere. I really enjoyed reviewing âJazz Escapadesâ and look forward to hearing what else the Clayton Wright Trio comes up with. Recommended for fans of mellow jazz. This album is amazingly interesting, sort of intellectually inspiring, and fun.
REVIEW FROM GARAGEBAND.COM
Brilliant Piece of Music
There is nothing to critise this piece,just alot of never ending praises. This piece was really playful in the ear, such as the bass intro which was done so well, the beat is flowings, and the polyrythms are make you want to keep listening, and last but not least the piano, the dynamics the chord changes are just fantastic.
Thank you for posting this wonderful piece on garageband, my next advice is to get it on record or cd, or i-tunes.

REVIEW FROM GARAGEBAND.COM
Ah yeah... Herbie Hancock meets Barry White
You think you're in for a poetry reading at first with the string bass solo, but then the piano kicks it into "Barry White" mode with some serious soul. Turn the lights down low, baby 'cause this date is getting ready to sizzle. Bass and drums keep me grooving the whole time while the piano solo sets the mood. Towards the end, the piano really gets passionate with a Debussy flare then resolves sweetly as if to say last night went really well.

REVIEW:
Yeah
Nice. This puts me in a relaxed mood. Good job. I love to hear that upright Bass. A grooving track in a mellow kind of way. Everybody complement the next. The first word that came to mind when I heard the Piano come in was Beautiful. This is a beautiful work of Art.

REVIEW FROM GARAGEBAND.COM:
Very nice tempo/intro
I like the groove that is presented here. The rythm is catchy and very groovy. The bass is very effective and is dominant as it should be here. The piano does a good job of playing around the groove. I like the old school ending.
