Bob Mamet - Signs Of Life (1994)

Bob Mamet is an internationally acclaimed Jazz pianist and composer. Born and raised in Chicago Illinois, he attended the prestigious Peabody Conservatory before heading west to Los Angeles to begin a career as a composer and studio musician. Over the next several years he composed music for over a hundred projects in T.V. film, and advertising, in addition to touring as a sideman and bandleader.

Bob\'s distinctive mixture of Jazz styles and composition caught the ear of the major record labels, and in 1994 he signed with Atlantic Records. Bob recorded three highly successful albums for Atlantic, plus additional recordings for Sony and Warner Brothers. His collaborations with artists such as Alex Acuna, Larry Carlton, Eric Marienthal, Gerald Albright, David Benoit and countless other top artists led Jazziz magazine to proclaim him a \"brilliant composer\" who gives his players \"an intelligent, thoughtful, and vibrant musical landscape in which to work.\"

During this period Bob released a string of hit records, garnering extensive radio airplay worldwide. Most notable among these was \"Greenstreet,\" a hybrid of acoustic and contemporary Jazz idioms. Greenstreet captured the imagination of Jazz and Pop listeners alike, topping the charts for 7 weeks, and remaining to this day a fixture on the radio.

Bob has played sold out shows from large festivals to renowned Jazz clubs, incorporating vibrant and diverse styles into his acoustic piano performances. He has been described as a \"master of melody and structure\" by The San Francisco Chronicle; \"adventurous. sparkling. intriguing\" by Jazz Times Magazine; and the Chicago Sun Times calls him simply \"The Natural.\"

Bob has continued to compose music for a variety of projects, including the critically acclaimed score for the film \"Lakeboat.\" It features a 60-piece orchestra with individual Jazz Trio vignettes, each one corresponding to a different character in the film. The lyrical acoustic Jazz approach Bob utilized in the soundtrack became the catalyst for his latest CD Impromptu.

Impromptu marks Bob\'s long awaited return to the recording studio, and is his first as the Bob Mamet Trio. The ten original compositions are a modern take on the classic Jazz trio, invoking the memory of great Jazz pianists such as Bill Evans and Vince Guaraldi. Released in March of 2010, Impromptu has become a nationwide success, recently reaching #2 on the Jazz charts. Jazz Times Magazine calls it \"Vibrant..sparkling...swinging [and] sublime\" and All About Jazz proclaims: \"A tour-de-force display of musicianship...Mamet is on Fire!\" The album features stellar supporting performances by virtuoso bassist Darek Oles, and legendary drummer Joe La Barbera. Darek is one of Europe\'s most celebrated bass players and his duets with famed pianist Brad Mehldau have garnered critical acclaim worldwide. Joe La Barbera played drums in the legendary trio that included Bill Evans on piano and Marc Johnson on bass, creating some of the most influential albums in Jazz history.
Bob Mamet showed considerable promise on his debut album, Signs of Life, which could easily be described as "pop-jazz with a brain." This 1994 release is hardly the work of a jazz purist or a bop snob; the pianist/keyboardist combines jazz with elements of pop, rock, and R&B, and he has been heavily influenced by the electric work of Chick Corea, the Yellowjackets, and Joe Sample. But at the same time, anyone who claims that Signs of Life is merely instrumental pop doesn't give Mamet enough credit -- the pop elements are strong, but so are the jazz elements. Mamet brings an improviser's mentality to the table, and he enjoys a real dialogue with well-known guests like guitarist Larry Carlton, saxman Sam Riney, and Yellowjackets members Jimmy Haslip (bass) and William Kennedy (drums). Another guest is saxman Richard Elliot, and here's the ironic part: Elliot's playing is a lot more substantial and meaty on Signs of Life than it is on his own albums. Elliot has recorded more than his share of brainless elevator Muzak, but he sounds pretty good on Mamet's debut. Meanwhile, Mamet detours into straight-ahead jazz on Miles Davis' "Nardis," which finds him forming a traditional piano trio with Haslip and Kennedy. But most of the time, he favors a pop-jazz approach on Signs of Life, which is definitely his strongest and most consistent album. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide
