JAMES BROWN - THE NEXT STEP
James Brown "The Next Step" Album Review
What Happened?
First of all I want to say that I am a true JB fan. I have learned all his horn lines ( trumpet ). Any band I play with, must play some James. This cd has lost the "fat sound" that he carried for years. His bass player, Fred Thomas, told me that he suggested to James to keep the music in the pocket but James didn't listen. Well this cd proves it. The sound is very thin and not the typical James Brown. I must be critical because I started listening to James in 1959. I always wanted to play in his band but the Air Force got me first.
Respectfully,
Chuck King
MONTANA - HEAVY VIBES
Montana "Heavy Vibes" Album Review
Album Description
"Heavy Vibes" fully showcases Montana's diversified musical style from scaled down rhythmic club classics, to full orchestral compositions, Latin ballads and even a bit of jazz. This is definitely one of his most flavorful productions and features Philadelphia's most prominent musicians - many of Montana's session mates who were the main members of both the MFSB and The Salsoul Orchestra.
