CLARKE STANLEY/STANLEY CLARKE

Descripción

AN OPENING STATEMENT OF A DRUM ROLL AND HORN FANFARE OPENS THE ALBUM AS STANLEY DECLARES HIS POWER AS COMING FROM THE PLUCK OF A STRING. THIS GOES INTO THE SMOOTH ALMOST SOFT ROCK STYLED HE LIVES ON (STORY ABOUT THE LAST JOURNEY OF A WARRIOR). AFTER THIS ITS BACK TO A COUPLE SLICES OF SERIOUS FUNK MORE HOT FUN. THERE IS STADIUM ROCK POWER IN OPENING (STATEMENT) AND CLOSING (STATEMENT) WITH A SLICE OF PURE JAZZ IN INTERLUDE: A RELAXED OCCASION. THE TITLE TRACK AND ROCK N ROLL JELLY ARE THE STANDOUTS WITH THE POWER TRIO OF BECK CLARKE AND APPICE ON THE LATTER. A FULL ORCHESTRAL SOUND IS PRESENTED ON GOT TO FIND MY OWN PLACE. A TRULY SUBLIME WORK RECORDED IN 1978 BUT NO LESS RELEVANT.
