5.0 out of 5 stars Expected to love this CD, and I did/do
Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2022
Expected to love this CD, and I did/do! I was already slightly familiar with Mr. Fambrough from McCoy Tyner's "Horizon", and that record included Fambrough's original "One for Honor". I loved it (and McCoy's solo on it as well). Great bassist, great composer, great jazz artist. Period.

5.0 out of 5 stars Obtuse? Right? Tri? What's Accepted?
Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2020
I am listening, absorbing this album, this Compact Disc for the umpteenth time. A marvel in its own right.

Creed Taylor has done it once again--gathered magnificent artists to convey magically and deftly poignantly the music: Beautiful music indeed.

Why oh why I moan isn't music as this available in these horrendous times?

Music, melodic, sane, heartfelt, melodic: complex.

That's it! That's what Jazz is! It requires the listener to think. To foment the dendrites to bind and formulate a thought.

Mr. Charles Fambrough--a brother--portrays an apt inclination: I love it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, haunting and where jazz should have been going
Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2002
In 1991 bassist Charles Fambrough released this record in hte midst of the smooth jazz explosion and it didn't get much play, but it should have. It's where jazz should have been headed: cool, mindful of the past, eye always on the new tales to tell.
Fambrough writes an incredible song and leads a band arrangement like a master, picking the right songs and the right players for every track. He uses heavy hitters and it's a shame that this record passed under the radar of so many people. You can tell he was sweating over this record as he ran te tracks through their paces.
A great record for traditionalists, and a smooth-enough ride for the smooth jazzers who want to expand their tastes a little bit into the history of the form.

5.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant debut
Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2007
"The Proper Angle", is a brilliant debut and one of the finest contemporary jazz discs I've ever heard. This is lively and exciting music played by outstanding musicians. Some major grooves happen on "Uncle Pete", or "Our Father Who Art Blakey", while "Broski", "Earthlings", and "One For Honor" incorporate a high-energy swing feel to the record, and softer tunes like "The Dreamer", "Sand Jewels" and "Dolores Carla Maria" help balance out the disc and give it a modern feel. The players on this are: Charles Fambrough (bass), Kenny Kirkland (piano), Wynton Marsalis and Roy Hargrove (trumpet), Branford Marsalis and Joe Ford (saxophone), Jeff Watts (drums), and Jerry Gonzalez, Steve Berrios, Mino Cinelu (percussion). Of the eleven songs on the record, Fambrough penned seven, three are band members compositions, and one is a traditional number, I believe.

This was originally released in 1991 on CTI records, and has been either out of print or re-released by other record companies. Since it's now available again, there is no excuse not to own this amazing disc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hot and Smooth, but NOT SMOOTH JAZZ!
Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2008
This CD is beautiful - from the haunting first track "Don Quixote" (co-written by Milton Nascimento) which got some airplay, to the slow "Bossa" style of the 2nd track, to medium swing of "Uncle Pete" - all of the cuts are great - it is a great combination of styles and moods.

It has some of the great modern players - Roy Hargrove, W. Marsalis, B. Marsalis, Jeff Watts, Kenny Kirkland, etc.

It is hot jazz, "CTI" smooth (with just a tad too much reverb), but it is definitely NOT "smooth jazz".

Highly recommended.
