Ronnnie Laws - Voices in The Water

YouTube. Google. MySpace. Enter “Ronnie Laws” in any search engine, and you’ll find worldwide die-hard admirers of his unique and compelling musical voice. They describe his work as outstanding, timeless, funky, bad-ass, high-quality, and real music to make you MOVE! People continue to sample his grooves, and admire his style. For more than 35 years, this musical legend has used his saxophone and his voice to satisfy his audience.

Ronnie’s most recent album, “Voices in the Water,” is his 26th solo release. It blends R&B with Jazz Fusion, and a surprising drop of rock and blues. This new album follows the success of his albums “Dream a Little” in 2000 (which yielded the Urban Adult and Smooth Jazz smash hit, “Old Days/Old Ways), an “Everlasting” in 2004.

Kudos to Jeff for helping me close out 2009 to re-discover three fusion classics by the Canadian fusion group Kittyhawk!

Kittyhawk | Kittyhawk – [Hightower Recording Artists, 2007]

Kittyhawk

This is the LP that introduced me to the concept of jazz and improvisation. I LOVE this album so much I went and bought a USB turntable to convert my old copy to digital, buzzes, scratches and all.

My ONLY complaint about this MP3 release is that it hasn’t been remastered for the new medium, and the bass and overall level is much lower than modern recordings – a problem that could have and should have been remedied before releasing it into the digital domain.

That being said, I’m very glad to have a scratch/buzz free version in my iPod. —John M. Marsaden
