Description
180g audiophile vinyl reissue, remastering by Ray Staff at Air Mastering, Lyndhurst Hall, London.
"This jazz recording is considered as the 'magnum opus' of master "drummer extraordinaire'', composer, arranger, producer, and leader Norman Connor's in a career that has spanned 4 decades. This recording is what many will consider the debut of the legendary vocalist Dee Dee Bridgewater who has since gone on to a brilliant career. Connor's put together an all-star group with Herbie Hancock and Onaje Allan Gumbs on piano and Fender Rhodes, Dr. Eddie Henderson on trumpet/flugelhorn, Carlos Garnett on tenor/soprano saxes, Gary Bartz on alto/soprano saxes, Buster Williams on bass, drummer/vocalist Bill Summers and Kenneth Nash on percussion, and effective, crucial cameos by master flautist Hubert Laws. On the song, "Love From the Sun'", Connors added Nathan Rubin on violin and Terry Adams on cello." - John Braswell
"These musicians all shine brightly on Love From The Sun. Highlights include Bridgewater's gorgeous vocals on the title track, Hancock's ferocious solo and the turbocharged drums and percussion which are features of "Kumakucha," and Bridgewater's vocals and Garnett's solo, both on-fire performances, on "Holy Waters." And there is plenty more to get your ears round on these and the other three tracks. A collector's item for decades, Love From The Sun is now back amongst us on this vinyl-only edition from British audiophile label Pure Pleasure." - **** Chris May, All About Jazz -
