TAVARES - MADAM BUTTERFLY




























Tavares "Madam Butterfly" Album Review
These guys are very underratted
I have loved Tavares since I saw them perform Check it out when I was about 9 years old. Anyway I own this Cd and I have to say it contains two smoking slow jams. Let me heal your bruises and my love calls. It also contains my two favorite Mid-tempo recordings by this group. Never had a love like this before, and Madame Butterfly. Tavares are one of the most underrated and highly talented groups to come out in the 70's. One listen to this group and you too will agree, these gentlemen can really sing.
IRAKERE - CHEKERE SON








































Irakere "Chekere Son" Album Review
Album Description
Irakere was the synthesis of every influence that had been played in Cuban music. Irakere created a sound that mixed jazz, European traditional music, rock, funk and the rhythmic Cuban traditions. Chekere-Son is the bands 1979 album, essential to understand and enjoy both Cuban music and Latin jazz history. Vampi Soul.
GEORGE DUKE - THE ESSENTIAL




































































































George Duke "The Essential" Album Review
A fairly good CD
It is missing some things that are on his other Greatest Hits ("Lady") and things that *should have* been on this compilation ("No Rhyme, No Reason"). These oversights may not have been such at all and may be strictly because of the publication date.
Other than that, there is enough extra on here to make the purchase price worth the extra few dollars that would be spent buying this as opposed to the other "Greatest Hits" CD-- although for a person who only wants a brief perusal of his hits, the "Greatest Hits" is sufficient. For a fan who wants the better things out of his MANY albums, this is quite a gem.
JAZMIN SKY - JAZMIN SKY

















































Jazmin Sky "Jazmin Sky" Album Review
This CD is off the chains!!!
This woman should be a star. Her voice is magnificently sultry yet powerful, the songs are beautifully written, arranged & produced, and the musicianship is excellent. Buy this CD!! You will not be disappointed.
