Richly talented Jazz artist Stanley Clarke has released him latest album titled Stanley Clarke and Wow! It 's really a good idea.
Unfortunately, not every day that I have a CD from an artist that I can just plug and comfortably listen to from start to reach the end. It's usually a song or two that I just do not make me go. Absolutely not the case with Stanley Clarke. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from beginning to end.
The beautyOne thing about a CD like this is with this level of talent even if Jazz is not your favorite style, you can not help but appreciate the greatness of the artist.
If you are a fan of Stanley Clarke, is a CD your collection flat can not be without. In fact this is one of those CDs that have not even a fan of Clarke, or even to know jazz has to be good. This is just good music. Period.
Although this album is really cool the standout tunes are track 2 - quiet afternoon,Title 4 - Desert Song and Track 6 - Life is just a game.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that has Sore [... as in "Stuck On Repeat"] is track 1 - School Days. Excellent!
