Johnny
Great collection
If you haven\'t heard this guy\'s work, here is a great CD to get familiar with this artist\'s music. Mixed and mastered beautifully, and classic styled, memorable melodies. That\'s all that\'s needed apparently. Mr. Gayton has played with everyone on the planet, yet is still pretty much overlooked for some reason. Pick up the disc if you can find it. It is hard to find

John Farris
Best of Clark Gayton
If you are fond of reggae, ska, gospel, the b flat tuba and trombone, the explorations of Clark Gayton in these musics on these instruments will have you dancing and shouting hallelujah, his in-the-pocket rock-steady a smooth groove. Composer, arranger and keyboardist, Gayton also possesses a seductive blues palette authenticated by roots in the Mississippi riverboat tradition. That Mr. Gayton is a compelling jazz man goes without saying. Having first encountered him at nublu on NY\'s Lower East Side, I soon found myself looking forward to his then-weekly Tuesday nights. The band could always be counted on. Skankin\'! Gayton\'s trombone is one of the mellowest since Lawrence Brown, supported by laid-back arrangements and solid composition. There is nothing amorphous about it - want to skank? Here it is....
Tradition seems to be at once Mr. Gayton\'s tool and his plaything: while the function of brass in the orchestra is to compel, Gayton\'s work on these instruments is subversive, delivering subtle lines of bebop wrapped carefully in a ska sandwich. Vocalist Dollarman rides these rhythms as easily as a mare. The brass,composition and arrangements are pop jewels. Gayton is indeed a man for all seasons and all persuasions when it comes to his music. Still, it\'s all about the skank. Listen if you will, to \'Just For You\'. Gayton\'s organically metronomic tuba is a perfect foil for the others in the section. The blues guitar of Bill Sims must rank with the best.
