Stanley Clarke Standards Jazz Music CD Review
Standards is the latest Jazz CD put out by the highly talented Stanley Clarke who once again has delivered a brilliant collection of tracks. I’m confident Stanley Clarke fans, and Jazz fans alike will be pleased with this one.
This one literally grabs your attention right from the start with Lover Man and won’t let go until the very last note of the very last song We Three Kings, which is another great track by the way.
One of the nicer things about a CD like this is when the talent is this rich even if Jazz isn’t your favorite genre you still can’t help but appreciate the greatness of the artist.
Overall Standards is an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up and is most definitely a worthy addition to any Jazz collection. Truly an outstanding Jazz CD. One of those that is completely void of any wasted time, as each track is simply superb.
While this entire CD is outstanding some of my favorites are track 2 - Mack The Knife, track 11 - Christmas Time Is Here, and track 12 - We Three Kings
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Lover Man. Good stuff!
