Versatile Jazz
Versatile Records, operating out of New York City in 1977-78, was an ambitious little label modeled after Creed Taylor's highly successful CTI label that revolutionized the Jazz industry by producing records that attempted to reach a wider audience via modern production techniques and an attempt to make jazz more accessible for the masses.
Versatile Records mimicked many of the same production techniques of CTI: lots of orchestration, modern pop tunes done in a jazz style, but with an added emphasis on funkier rhythms. In essence, the Versatile recordings sounded well, funkier.
The selections on this disc feature an impressive array of jazz stars: superstar vocalist Carmen McCrae, first call New York City session bassist Buster Williams; the funkiest guitar player in NYC Cornell Dupree; saxophonist Hank Crawford; young trumpet virtuoso Jon Faddis; the funky organist Richard "Groove" Holmes, Cuban jazz superstar Chico O'Farrill and jazz guitar legend Grant Green whose last recorded session before he died was for Versatile - Not a bad roster for such a short lived label.
