about

Best known for his critically lauded solo albums for the Black Jazz label in the early 1970s, Calvin Keys spent a decade on the road working as a session guitarist for Ray Charles, Ahmad Jamal and Pharoah Sanders before getting down to work on his third—and perhaps best—LP. Full Court Press features an impressive arsenal of working road dogs that Keys had shared a stage with over the years, including drummer James Gadson, former Ikette Maxalyn Lewis, and journeymen bassists John Heard and Donald Beck. The result was a dictionary definition of smooth jazz, with washes of warm, laid back grooves pinned under Keys endless dancing up and down the fretboard. Issued on Olive Branch Records in 1985, the seven song album provides the perfect soundtrack to the dentist office of your dreams.

From The Stacks

A visit to the Numero office makes it very clear that ‘the stacks’ is a literal description of our process: we accumulate stacks of records, master tapes, photos, flyers, and old newspapers while assembling a project. From The Stacks is our way of illuminating the experience: the selections here are presented without curation. While we’re digging for gold, these are the lesser minerals we find. ... more

Can't help it, I'm hooked to the bone to this funky munky. The more I listen to it- read about it- & watch it, the better it gets. Where will this end? I'm a junky, in desperate need of every shot I can get of this stuff. This link will show you a mini-docu which gives a great inside of who he is and what he does. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9t86fAuz5s PlayItLoud!
