Lovers of classic R&B and jazz have an ‘unbeatable’ buffet of sensitively arranged original compositions and cover songs to choose from. Ray Fuller, who is magnetically drawn to the drama in any good piece of music, hand-picked pieces that have inspired him for decades only to refashion in his own sweet way and thus called on the elite of musical craftsman who are friends first, musicians second—Fuller states, “Every one here is a master of texture and space.”Coltrane’s timeless “Naima”, features the brilliantly subdued use of Branford Marsalis on soprano sax. “Friday”, featuring George Duke’s funky solo was co-written with Jeff Lorber, and is a likely radio ‘smash’ hit! On the classic “Superstar”, stellar vocalist Phil Perry lends his uniquely emotive ad-libs to this most impassioned version. Perry returns on a version of The Isley Brothers’ “Work To Do”, which might make Ron Isley himself jealous! “Spanish Flyer”, co-composed with Dave Kochanski, is a lush evocation of Mediterranean delights! “Weeper’s Thang” and “Speak Brother”, signature Fuller compositions, are ‘funky-deep’ grooves featuring saxman Everette Harp and Duke, respectively.

There is so much more with which to sit back and relax or get up on the dance floor and forget your cares.

It’s taken a long time, but he finally nailed it. Everette Harp is a bona fide star in the smooth, or “contemporary” jazz genre. As a saxophonist, his talent is undeniable. One can hear everyone from Junior Walker to Grover Washington, Jr to Stanley Turrentine, Cannonball Adderley, and David Sanborn in his playing, which is forceful, song-like and emotive. He cops to it in the liner notes, and that’s just fine; that honesty is what frees him up to make the kind of music he wants to and acknowledging those influences places his own music in a direct line from his predecessors. That said, while some of his records have been very good, he’s never gotten exactly what he needed from a label or a producer — or an engineer for that matter — to really make it all come together in a way that knocks the ball out of the park. Until now, that is.
