A veteran of the groups of Branford Marsalis and Courtney Pine,
Julian Joseph's debut as a leader finds him in the company of fellow
young British jazzers, tenor saxophonist Jean Touissant, bassist Alec
Dankworth, and drummer Mark Mondesir, as they performs ten Joseph
originals and one pop tune, Curtis Mayfield's "The Other Side of
Town" sung by vocalist Sharon Musgrave. Joseph's compositional and
improvisational skills are displayed in equal measure on The Language
of Truth. Compositions such as "Don't Chisel the Shisel," "The Wash
House," and "The High Priestess" are characterized by their
interesting melodies, underlying piano/bass vamps, and shifting
tempos, while "The Art of the Calm" is a slower, more lyrical number.
Joseph, who seems to be primarily influenced by Herbie Hancock by way
of Kenny Kirkland, is also a compelling improviser who contributes
exciting solos throughout the recording, with a exceptional one on
the previously mentioned "Don't Chisel the Shisel." All of the
musicians play well, with Mondesir's inspired drumming the driving
force throughout the recording, especially on the up-tempo numbers.
Beginning and ending with solo piano, this is an exceptional debut
from a promising young musician.

We are looking for quality sites in Europe and US, to be afilliated
on. Remember, we are not in it for the creds, but for the spreading
of quality music - we just want to get our releases out to the ppl
that wants/needs it. More pre sites fills this purpose.
