Genre: Modern Jazz
Places I remember: Marbecks Records
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: I'm Ready For Your Love
Gear costume: Soft Stuff (and other delights)
Active compensatory factors: This came out when I was working at Marbecks Records (the lack of apostrophe always buggs me - surprising as Murray Marbeck was a scholar and a gentleman).
Roger Marbeck would play it often, and it just perfectly sums up the cool laid back approach that was the atmosphere in the shop. Roger has great musical ears and he was spot on with this album.
Side one is the stronger - maybe because I've heard it more: countless times in the shop and subsequently at home. Side two stretches things and starts to feel a little dated.
That opening track though (as above). Magic times!!
Where do they all belong? Try the duets albums with Bob James for more of this brand of coolness.
