Real Gone Music

Calvin Keys is a highly respected jazz guitarist known for his soulful and melodic playing style. With a career spanning several decades, he has established himself as one of the most influential figures in the genre. Inspired by greats such as Wes Montgomery and George Benson, *Keys* has developed his own unique sound that blends elements of jazz, funk, and blues.

Throughout his career, *Keys* has collaborated with numerous renowned artists including Doug Carn, Henry Franklin, and Gary Bartz. His ability to seamlessly integrate with other performers while still maintaining his distinct voice is a testament to his musical versatility.

Listeners can expect to be captivated by *Keys'* rich improvisations and heartfelt compositions. Whether performing with small ensembles or leading his own groups, he consistently delivers performances that are both technically impressive and emotionally compelling.

Bay Area jazz guitar legend Calvin Keys released his debut solo record, Shawn-Neeq, in 1971, and it remains one of the most beloved albums on the Black Jazz label. But that record was mere prelude for 1974’s Proceed with Caution; this time around, the arrangements were more complex, the instrumentation more diverse. In short, a quantum leap forward; indeed, as Calvin tells Pat Thomas in his liner notes for the release, “I started going to the Los Angeles School of Music studying orchestrations and I was putting it to use!” And he recruited the band to fulfill his ambitious musical visions to their fullest, including legendary drummer Leon “Ndugu” Chancler, fellow Black Jazz mainstays Henry Franklin on bass and Kirk Lightsey on keyboards, and Charles Owens (Horace Tapscott, Buddy Rich, Terry Callier, John Mayall) on sax and flute. Despite being hugely collectible, Proceed with Caution has never been reissued on vinyl before; our newly remastered edition is also available on CD!
