5.0 out of 5 stars When "Groove Jazz" met its perfect match, February 18, 2010
By Charlie Trece (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews
His first album "Traveler" was a sign of things to come and make no mistake, Terje Lie's "Urban Vacation" is the confirmation without a trace of a doubt. This amazing sax player this time around teamed up with two of the most celebrated contemporary jazz musicians: Jeff Lorber and Jimmy Haslip. The partnership produced one fascinating album filled with fresh harmonies, energetic grooves and outstanding solos. All originals (except Roy Ayer's classic "Red Black and Green") and written by the three of them, recreate the sound of a unique vibe. Songs like "Bail Out" and "Parlophone" take the listener to the magic energy of "groove jazz" at its best. All the tracks display an impecable level of musicianship with awesome arrangements and technically perfect solos by Terje, Lorber and Haslip. Production and mix are wonderfully handled by the same Jeff Lorber. The crew is a world class session: Tony Moore on drums, Gary Meek saxophone and Ron King trumpet with superb guests like Mike Landau (guitar), Jeff Olson (drums), Ernest Tibbs (bass), Dwight Sills (guitar) and Sharon Perry (vocals). Beyond contemporary jazz, beyond funk, beyond fusion, this is the arrival of groove jazz and Terje Lie is leading the movement with this remarkable work.




5.0 out of 5 stars This is great stuff!, February 16, 2010
By Bruce Nazarian (Las Vegas, NV USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Teerje Lie is hard to spell, but oh so easy to listen to.
With polished production by Jeff Lorber and Jimmy Haslip, this CD hits the funky pocket with "Bail Out" and "Parlophone", two outstanding tracks that feature Lie's superb phrasing in a bouncy funky setting.

Definitely worth adding to your collection, and discovering if you haven't heard this artist before!

REVIEW - JazzHQ

REVIEW - Midwest Record Entertainment

TERJE LIE/Urban Vacation: Last time out, Lie made a nice set of beach flavored jazz. This time out he teams up with both Jeff Lorber and Jimmy Haslip for a classic feeling fuzak date that always seem to be playing at the bar you stop at when the afternoon traffic is too much of a bitch to deal with and you really feel like just moving easy. There's a sweet magic that kicks in between the three of them that's sure to be welcomed by all the disenfranchised listeners left in the wake of Clear Channel forgetting they ever supported the smooth jazz audience. If you'd rather take a long walk than hit the gym after work, this is what you need in your headphones. Check it out. CHRIS SPECTOR
