专辑简介

Reviewed by David Faulkner of Cross Rhythms

Here, he presents instrumental-dominated versions of songs by some of today's leading gospel artists. I say 'instrumental-dominated' rather than merely 'instrumental', because key snatches of vocals are still left in on some tracks, even if occasionally it sounds like two separate recordings laid one on top of the other, one with the vocal and one with the sax. The songs come from the repertoires of artists such as Donnie McClurkin, Hezekiah Walker, Yolanda Adams, Donald Lawrence and the Tri-City Singers and Marvin Sapp. The arrangements tend in the direction of mellow rather than holler. That isn't to say we're in Kenny G bland-out territory: the artist whose name kept coming back to my mind while listening was Grover Washington, Junior. If you want a laid-back approach to Gospel music and love the sax, this is for you.
