Product Description

From Amazon.com

This 1975 release is a masterpiece of soul jazz, with keyboardist Bob James providing the arrangements for Grover Washington's emotive saxophones. James's opening "Earth Tones" has Washington playing soprano over a weave of percussion and electronics that suggests the influence of Miles Davis's electric fusion work, while "Passion Flower," a beautiful ballad by Duke Ellington's composing partner, Billy Strayhorn, has Washington's soprano backed by rich strings. His tenor is potent and soulful on the punchy version of "Mr. Magic" and funkier still on the James-Washington collaboration "Black Frost." Eric Gale turns in some superb guitar solos, and the studio band, anchored by taut backbeats from bassist Gary King and drummer Harvey Mason, is first-rate. --Adam Rains

4.0 out of 5 stars この辺もカッコいい, 2003/4/6
By 目賀葵 (東京都豊島区) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
恥ずかしながら、G.ワシントン,Jrの作品は（個々の曲は別として、アルバム全篇を通じては"Winelite"くらいしか）聴いたことはありませんでした。そこに在った音は軽やかで、艶やかで、明るく、そして聴きやすい軽音楽といった印象のものでした（別に、それが悪い訳ではありません、念のため）。
そんな80年代作品から時代を遡り本作（'74）を聴くと、若干その印象が変わります。例えば冒頭の"Earth Tones"。ジャングルサウンドを効果に使っていますが、G.ワシントン,JrのSaxも抑え目でジャングルのうっそうとした感じを（どことなくフリージャズのような雰囲気で）演じていたり。。結構面喰ってしまいまし。"Passion Flower"は一転してストリングスを絡めた映画音楽のような雰囲気ですし、"Mister Magic"はかなりソウルフルな曲に仕上がっています（E.ゲイルのソロもGood!）。
全体を聴き終えて思ったことは「この辺りのG.ワシントン,Jrの音って、かっこいいなぁ」という事でした（単純ですが） (^^;
ある意味、G.ワシントン,Jrのミュージシャンとしての才と技が色濃く出ている作品の１つなのではないでしょうか。

5.0 out of 5 stars ヒット路線ではありませんが。, 2003/6/13
By キャバレー (福井県福井市) - See all my reviews
Kuduレーベルのボブ・ジェームスにハズレなし。当作品の様にサイドマンで参加してるのも要チエックです。長尺モノも多いですが、それでも短く感じます。延々と6時間くらい続いてもらいたい系の音楽。
