█▓ Native Language Music (USA) presents: ▓█
█▓ Best Of Birds Of A Feather (NLM-0942) ▓█
█▓ ▓█
█▓ Review: ▓█
█▓ Smooth jazz elder statesman Dan Siegel has been ▓█
█▓ enjoying something of a renaissance lately, with the ▓█
█▓ 2003 reissue of his underappreciated 1995 all-star ▓█
█▓ date Hemispheres on Varese Sarabande and his ▓█
█▓ well-received early-2004 debut on Native Language, ▓█
█▓ Inside Out. His new label has now taken the liberty ▓█
█▓ to gather the most appealing tracks from three of the ▓█
█▓ four mid-'90s releases by Birds of a Feather, which ▓█
█▓ was essentially an ongoing Siegel-led all-star side ▓█
█▓ project. Each of the previous recordings was on a ▓█
█▓ different label that ultimately folded, so they ▓█
█▓ barely got their due -- and the keyboardist's fans ▓█
█▓ will no doubt appreciate the new life these songs are ▓█
█▓ given here. Not that they're not self-sufficient -- ▓█
█▓ Siegel's brilliance for composing easy-grooving, ▓█
█▓ instantly hummable radio-ready tunes is in full ▓█
█▓ effect here -- but the core group of Siegel, ▓█
█▓ guitarist Allen Hinds, bassist Dwayne "Smitty" Smith, ▓█
█▓ and drummer Lil' John Roberts are surrounded by stars ▓█
█▓ throughout. Boney James' inimitable sax appears on no ▓█
█▓ less than six tracks (including the best cut, the ▓█
█▓ playful, retro-minded "Head to Toe"), while Ernie ▓█
█▓ Watts and Richard Elliot also check in. While ▓█
█▓ Siegel's keys stand out most of the time, the group ▓█
█▓ concept allows Hinds to shine frequently, as he does ▓█
█▓ on the lead acoustic lead melody of "Only You." ▓█
█▓ Still, Hinds doesn't mind deferring to better known ▓█
█▓ names like Carl Verheyen and Larry Carlton. With any ▓█
█▓ luck, a handful of songs from this near hour of ▓█
█▓ classic material will finally get the airplay they ▓█
█▓ deserved way back when. ▓█
