This might be one of Earl's
greatest albums whereby the intricacies and yet simple music only Earl can
produce. The music in the album ranges from slow heartbreaking
"Christina" to finger snapping "Cabo Frio". The
arrangements in "summer song" is nice. His renditions of Dance with
Me, This Time (another great song from a great jazz artist, Al Jarreau),John
Taylor's "Long ago and far away" are timeless classics! ~ C. Tongol, Amazon.com
I've been listening to Earl
Klugh for over 30 years and this is one of my favorites. Great for dedicated
listening and for just having in the background, very accessible and relaxing.
