| Spring 2009: Hollywood & Heaven featuring the music of Charles Xavier & Eric Harrington with special guests Sam Riney, Glenn Feit, John Harrison III, Jackie Bertone & Vinnie Colauita.
“Eyewitness News” is the next digital-only release planned in support of Charles Xavier’s upcoming series of a live club dates being scheduled in the US for 2008.Let The Critic's Speak:Excerpt 1** All of these genres are represented in Charles Xavier's The Xman Cometh. Xavier, a true music polymath (music and video production, percussion, leader of several avant garde jazz outfits), has put together a group of compositions that manage to touch on all of the afore-mentioned genres. That alone might not be such a big deal if the album was a disjointed mess. It's not. In fact, "cohesive" is the right word.Topics broached include creativity, the sadness of Katrina, big band jazz, Hollywood from the inside, love. This is all drawn together by a pulsing funk spiced up by a cast of relative unknowns who seem to be able to pull together all in the same direction. The clouds of instrumentation (including bass, drums, percussion, vibraphone, guitar, trumpet, saxophone, and keyboards) somehow remind me of what went on in those Parliament/Funkadelic records. It's a vibe that's tough to pull off without the entire ensemble being in the know, so to speak.No track-by-track consideration here. You've got to experience the record as a whole. Just know that there are not many albums out there sounding like this.But, you might be thinking, is this Xman a musical variant of the Marvel comics character, Professor X? That's certainly one way of looking at it. Xavier says that the Xman is "everyman's emcee", with topics of "love, sex, politics, the streets or the dreams buried deep in our hearts." The X-Men were put together to better relations between humans and mutants. Tossing the obvious "Who are the mutants?" jokes aside, the parallels are fairly obvious.Oh, but then there's Kevin Federline...Blog Critic
Mark Seleski,Excerpt 2** This is one of the few albums that one must work at to enjoy. So much is going on that if you don’t pay attention every second, the experience will get away from you. It’s not a bad thing and catching up is fun. The XMan is an audio chef mixing ingredients in a CD bowl. You can actually hear when he adds the pepper just above the horns. Forget the salt, it’s all healthy. But sometimes I can hear the trans-fat oozing across the tracks. His dessert can make you fat, but fat and fate are just one letter apart…..turn up the sound to the max for Hollywood & Heaven and eat away.Celebrity Cafe

Music:Member Since: 8/26/2006Band Website: happynoterecords.com Band Members: GO MEDIA: CHARLES XAVIER/Xman Cometh Expect the Unexpected: Here’s a cat that has done everything, played with everyone and you’ve never heard of him. He trots out some of his pet things like political diatribes over funky beats. The ultimate genre splicer, he knows everyone and still he couldn’t get a mercy fuck of a record deal, what better way to turn your back on the whole thing and really do your own thing? Pretty much like not anything you’ve ever heard as a whole, Xavier wants to blow your ears and mind open and he accomplishes exactly what he sets out to do. You can’t pigeonhole this set, it doesn’t come with a map. Either you strap yourself in and enjoy the ride or shake your head in bewilderment. MIDWEST RECORD RECAP, CHRIS SPECTOR, 2006www.youtube.com/thexmancomethLucid Forge:I’ve spent most of my life associating Charles Xavier with the X-Men. In San Francisco though, there was this kid named Charles Xavier and he dedicated himself, not to the betterment of human/mutant relations, but to creating some of the funkiest jazz fusion pop you’ve ever heard. An insatiably groovy album, Xavier mixes pop, punk, soul, jazz, r&b, blues and funk and adds a bit of social-minded commentary to produce what is simply one of the finest and grandest musical experiences I’ve had all year. The experience begins with the funky mellow “They Say”, before going into full blown big band jazz with the Katrina inspired “American Refugee”, which itself flows easily into the similar-sounding “Stomp’n at Around Midnight”. “Gonna Change America” starts off a little brassy before becoming a soulful melody with an “Eye of the Tiger” kind of rock-out. “Crazy People” takes a time out for a pop ballad before going for a 70s-style soul-funk groove with “Thank You Girl.” Bottom line, the comic book Xavier may have created the X-Men, but this Xavier is the X man and the X stands for anything he wants it to.Written by Adam A.
