For You Lot Kevin Eubanks - 1986 Aspect Upwards To Face

Kevin Eubanks' laid out album amongst a string department is a triumph of proficient taste, both inwards the guitarist's gently swinging hold out too inwards GRP primary Dave Grusin's unobtrusive, intelligent, unsentimental string charts. Grusin's gorgeously recorded strings appear to seep into the texture, filling the spaces amongst simply plenty mortar. The backings alternate betwixt an electrical grouping -- amongst Marcus Miller on bass too Grusin applying the Yamaha DX7 electrical pianoforte audio -- too oftentimes simply Ron Carter on acoustic bass (plus the strings, of course). The handling of Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Wave" is a beaut, amongst a lot of rapid acoustic guitar figurework inwards mid-track. Even unreconstructed beboppers volition bask the fluid duo-only telephone substitution betwixt Carter's 4/4 bass too Eubanks' electrical guitar on Wes Montgomery's "The Trick Bag" too Bird's "Relaxin' at Camarillo," the latter of which Eubanks immodestly calls attending to inwards his liner notes. But he's entitled; it is impressive.  All Music.

This is dainty basic jazz. Some classics are played, similar "that's what friends are for", "wave" -originally past times A. Carlos Jobim, too "Moments aren't moments" originally past times stevie wonder. Dave Grusin is on keys, Marcus Miller on Elec. Bass, Ralph McDonald on Percussion, Paulinho Braga on percussion, Buddy Williams on drums ,Ron carter on stand upwards up bass.Kevin Eubanks does a fine chore leading amongst electic too acoustic guitar.  By eagle spirit.
