Larry Coryell
The extremely talented Jazz artist Lenny White has released him most recent CD on the Wounded Bird Records recording label, entitled Venusian Summer.
It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce that's exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with each song standing tall on it's own.
Venusian Summer has a nicely varied, mix of 6 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly superb artist. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are him own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard.
I give Venusian Summer my highest recommendation. It just plain belongs in any serious music collectors collection regardless of genre preference.
While the entire album is really very good some of my favorites are track 2 - Away Go Troubles Down The Drain, track 4 - Prelude To Rainbow Delta, and track 6 - Prince Of The Sea
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Chicken-Fried Steak. This is a great track!
