musical bliss,2mins19 secs into the track and the keyboards kick in...fu*k me,this is jazz funk at its best i cud cry with joy listenin to this 10/10 ***** plus 5 stars
My favorite tune by Webster! In heaven I imagine the muisc would sound something like this. Bright, airy ,joyful, moving, very beautiful- makes you want to dance forever.
the royalty ,,,,billys ,,,cheeky peaks , golbal village ,,embassy ,,studio 21,,..whisky a go go,, leyceum,,baracuda,, golmine ,, i guess this tune is one of the tunes that created the word jazz funk
Keyboard whiz Webster Lewis plays a really fun jazz song with voices called "Barbara Ann" from the recording "Touch My Love" circa 1978. He never hit it really big but was successful in producing, commercials, and movie soundtracks. He passed away at age 59 in 2002 from diabetes. "Barbara Ann" keeps his name alive for many of us and I love this performance. RIP.
Webster was my professor in college. All 4 of his CBS/EPIC Albums are being released on CD on Expansion Records from the UK. Check it out. It will be released in the next month.
And it's a shame that the Love Unlimited Orchestra presents Webster Lewis album (Welcome Aboard) isn't gonna be released like those. This one was released on CD in Japan during the 90's but for some reason soon became near impossible to get.
I performed with him as a 2nd chair 1st violin in his student based orchestra in Boston(NewEngland Conservatory). One of life's most memorable experiences.
@x429960 You are truly blessed! I envy you. Most people will never heard of or appreciate Webster Lewis. I do and I never met him but His music speaks volumes.
