Product Information
"Lay Down My Heart", the third release from the prolific
vibraphonist Joe Locke since his signing to Motéma Music
in 2012, marks a complete and deliberate contrast from his
two previous releases: the small-group outing "Signing", his
critically lauded label debut with The Joe Locke Geoffrey
Keezer Group, and the large-scale "Wish Upon A Star",
which was recorded with Lincoln's Symphony Orchestra
and was released in January of this year.
"Working on this recording brought me back to my earliest
days of music-making in Rochester, New York, , where
the music was part of the social fabric, and the audience
and musicians were definitely involved in a two-way
conversation. lt taught me that jazz is, and should always
be, People Music."
On "Lay Down My Heart", the acclaimed vibraphonist, who
had already played with Dizzy Gillespie, Pepper Adams
and Mongo Santamaria before he was out of high school,
has surrounded himself with a group of players that bring
an incredible range of experience and talents to the mix.
His longest-standing collaborator on "Lay Down My Heart"
is bassist David Finck, who Locke has known since their
days as fellow students in Rochester, New York. Also on
board is pianist composer / Guggenheim Fellow and
Motéma label-mate Ryan Cohan, who has collaborated
with such musicians as Freddie Hubbard, Curtis Fuller,
Paquito D'Rivera, Jon Faddis, Kurt Elling, and Ramsey Lewis. Rounding out the quartet is drummer Jaimeo
(pronounced jah-mayo) Brown. Brown, whose own project,
"Transcendence", will be released on Motdma later this
year, began working with vibes player Bobby Hutcherson
at the age of 19. He has gone on to hold the drum chair in
the Charles Mingus Big Band, and also worked with Stevie
Wonder, Carlos Santana, Wynton Marsalis and Pharoah
Sanders.
For Locke, the music on Lay Down My Heart represents as
much a journey through his past as it marks another move
toward the future. Joining him on this soulful trip is as easy
as putting the CD in your player and pressing "Play".
