Negative Positive
Title: layered listen
Review: I'm not a musician but I think the comparisons to McCann's electric piano style and that of Stevie Wonder in the mid-70s are quite accurate. Some of these tunes do invoke a similar mood and style. These compositions don't jump out at you, but seep into your brain and grow and grow until they become familiar. Layers indeed! I love albums like this that fuse jazz and soul, creating a heady musical stew. Sometimes they are successful and sometimes a bit bland, but this album by Les McCann was one of the success stories.
