Stanley's compositions come to the fore:
As on Children Of Forever (Stanley's beautiful debut as a leader), Stanley Clarke's compositional prowess come to the fore on this, his third album. His previous, self-titled, album was much more about the playing and less about the songs (which in the case of that album is a very, very good thing), but here he goes back and pulls out five brilliant compositions that rival anything he would do afterward. "Silly Putty" is a standard, how many bassists have tried to show off to you by playing this one?... more info
To correct the only other reviewer...:
Yes it's not remastered but but why is that relevant enough to give a 1 star rating?? How is that helpful for the benefit of those who don't already have it or haven't already heard it? It's a masterpiece and one of Clarke's best albums if you enjoy his early work. Not quite the equal of School Days, which would come next, but close, and that's no insult. If you like School Days, don't hesitate, you won't be disappointed! This disc is not 24 bit remastered:
The music on this disc is great. Be aware that it is not 24 bit remastered, housed in a digipak. It's the same mastering job, housed in a jewel case, that's been available for years. STANLEY CLARKE SOLO ALBUM FROM 1975:
FROM 1975 (WOW! HAS IT BEEN THAT LONG?....I MUST BE GETTING OLD), THIS IS MY FAVORITE STANLEY CLARKE SOLO ALBUM NOTWITHSTANDING ALL THE GREAT STUFF HE RECORDED WITH RETURN TO FOREVER AND BILLY COBHAM. THIS ALBUM FETUARES GREAT SOLOS BY JAN HAMMER ON MOOG SYNTHESIZER AND JEFF BECK ON GUITAR. RUNS THE GAMUT FROM FUNK TO ROCK TO JAZZ FUSION TO ORCHESTRAL JAZZ, A BIT LESS COMMERCIAL THAN "SCHOOL DAYS". Tracks:
Silly Putty Journey to Love Hello Jeff Song to John, Pt. 1 Song to John, Pt. 2 Concerto for Jazz/Rock Orchestra, Pt. 1-4
