ROBIN DUHE - DO IT DUHE
Robin Duhe "Do it Duhe" Album Review
You should check out Duhe!
Robin Duhe really does it with his debut album. It's jazzy, r & b, with much funk too. If you are a Frankie Beverly fan you will really enjoy "Do It Duhe." The songs can fit many moods that you may be in, from laid back to finger snapping to listening on the treadmill from stepping to these tunes.
CHARLES LLOYD - THE CALL
Charles Lloyd "The Call" Album Review
Amazon.com
On this decidedly low-key set, Charles Lloyd, on tenor throughout, seems suspended between surrender and desire, with lush, melancholy outcomes. Billy Hart has, by this time (<I>The Call</I> came in 1993), joined Lloyd's '90s quartet, and the results are auspicious. His even-keeled handling of the rhythm section, never shy and sometimes rattling, steers Lloyd out of the sleepy waters in which he occasionally risks foundering. Bobo Stenson, as always, displays poise and great taste at the piano, soloing long and gorgeously at the opening of the extended "Song." Anders Jormin's welling, liquid bass, well worth close attention, buoys the music impressively. Quietness, tinged with sadness, unifies the album. Mellowing, late-night listening, ideally not experienced solo. As titles like "The Blessing" reiterate, Lloyd's music is always about something more than just music. <I>--Peter Monaghan</I>
