Two Germans, an Austrian and an American united in their love of Telecasters, produce some smoky, mostly instrumental, blues ideal for late-night snuggling. Recording in Bavaria, the quartet tips the hat to George Benson at one point and includes the Peter Green instrumental "Albatross." "Nelly," a slow, dramatic blues, conjures the spirit of the late Roy Buchanan and is the album's standout. The singing, in English, is passable and the band shows a sense of humor by finishing with the rollicking "I Want a Fraulein."

"Plenty of soul, and plenty of shaking – a hip collection of contemporary funk and soul, all of it served up with a very classic groove! The work here is mostly new, but it echoes the best sounds of the 60s and 70s – those wonderful years for soul music that are being revived strongly by key combos from the global deep funk underground. The vibe here is even funkier than other Soul Shaker sets and the package is a great testament to the ever-evolving groove of the hip Record Kicks label" Dusty Groove Chicago

Альбом "Wish" немецкой команды "Reamonn" записывался за рубежом. Группа отправилась на четыре месяца на западное побережье США, в знаменитую студию Sound City Studio в Лос-Анджелес. К работе над новым диском был привлечен продюсер Greg Fidelmann, известный по своим работам с множеством музыкантов, от "Red Hot Chili Peppers" до Johnny Cash и Neil Diamond. Трек "Tonight" с этого альбома - хит №1, продержавшийся неделями на первом месте среди самых ротируемых песен на радиостанциях.

Despite being overshadowed by the musical reputation of John Coltrane, Cannonball never needs apologies or justification, and this is a superb example of his playing. On this recording, Adderly's lyrical sound and masterful technique are at their best. His music is lightly lyrical and it swings hard, but it always seems to have (dare I say it?) joy at its base. This fine jazz album was created by two musicians who participated with Coltrane in the sessions for Miles Davis' famous "Kind of Blue" album. Cannonball Adderly is the alto saxophone player on that album and Bill Evans is the pianist. Reunited here, it's obvious that they respect and enjoy one another's music, and the album–recorded over a three month period in 1961–reflects their mutual comfort. The songs include Evans' "Waltz for Debbie," now a 3/4 time jazz standard, and the title track "Know What I Mean?" Evans is joined by half of the Modern Jazz Quartet–Percy Heath on bass and the always-appropriate Connie Kay on drums to complete the rhythm trio. They provide solid support for Cannonball throughout the album. As I noted, Cannonball is ebullient throughout, and Evans' superb solos and his prescient interplay with Adderly make this album a must have jazz recording.
