Lenny White-Prince Of The Sea(1975)

By Request!!

A great jazz/fusion album from the 70's. Terrific musicianship, great grooves, and every track is outstanding. For more outstanding jazz fusion, you should buy Lenny's great 1978 album, " Adventures Of Astral Pirates . "

."Prince Of The Sea" is 11:37 long and of course it provides the goods. The beginning sounds like music from an alien planetscape; Gumbs' work is again a graceful mood-setter, in concert with Tom Harrel's flugelhorn. The band eases into the stratosphere, and Coryell takes the solo ante higher with a particularly sharp performance showcasing a more traditional (but well amplified) jazz guitar sound. Gumbs takes a turn in the spotlight, on acoustic and electric pianos, before DiMeola's more modern, sustain-driven soloing answers Coryell. It wouldn't be complete if the two guitar-maestros failed to trade licks, and they do, while White and Rauch increase the intensity.Indeed it makes quite a finale to a fine showcase of A-list 70's funk-fusion-spaceprog. The starship's guest list in this case enhances the voyage, and Captain White is a gracious and potent musical host. Review © Reginod @ Progressive Ears

Coryell is the master lacking proper recognition.

I Feel So Very Blessed To Have Been Born When I Was Because The '70s Will Be Looked Back Upon As The Most Diverse Innovative Period In Musical History! In All Genres! Thank U For Uploading This Masterpiece!
