Curtis - Curtis Mayfield

Advantages: Great tracks by a great artist played by great musicians.
Disadvantages: None.

...Curtis mayfield has to be one of soul's greats. he has a sensitivity that can be felt in his timing and of course his lyrics. The Ronnie Scotts album is a great one for hearing this because of the quality of the musicians Mayfield has gathered and the superb tightness of the band. He plays a nember of Curtis classics (from songs from Superfly, Move on Up etc)but its great to hear the talent of the live musicians taking them to new hights. The purcussion in the track Superfly is nothing short of superb and Lobrian Scott's base playing is an inspiration. Plus, most unusually for a live album, the audience actually manage to clap in time and sing in tune! Testimony to the magical atmosphere that must have been created that night.... Read review

...As a teenager all my friends were either into New Kids and Take That or at the other end of the spectrum Rave and Dance anthems. I was the lone teen who didn’t get enough pocket money to buy my own music and was quite happy listening to all my parents 60’s LP’s. Now and again though someone would come along and demand that I save all my pocket money, dinner money and go car washing for weeks to enable me to purchase a cassette of their music. Not many got this honour - in fact, until this man came along Michael Jackson was the lone hero gracing my walls. Enter the gravel voiced, saxophone playing, long haired skinny malinky that is Curtis Stigers. The first single that I remember hearing on the radio was I Wonder Why. To say I was blown away was the understatement of the century, after a month of hard saving I was finally... Read review
