Kevin Eubanks' first album with a string section is a triumph of good taste, both in the guitarist's gently swinging work and in GRP chief Dave Grusin's unobtrusive, intelligent, unsentimental string charts. Grusin's
gorgeously recorded strings seem to seep into the texture, filling the
spaces with just enough mortar. The backings alternate between an
electric group -- with Marcus Miller on bass and Grusin applying the Yamaha DX7 electric piano sound -- and often just Ron Carter on acoustic bass (plus the strings, of course). The treatment of Antonio Carlos Jobim's
"Wave" is a beaut, with a lot of rapid acoustic guitar figurework in
mid-track. Even unreconstructed beboppers will enjoy the fluid duo-only
exchange between Carter's 4/4 bass and Eubanks' electric guitar on Wes Montgomery's "The Trick Bag" and Bird's "Relaxin' at Camarillo," the latter of which Eubanks immodestly calls attention to in his liner notes. But he's entitled; it is impressive. All Music.
This is nice basic jazz. Some classics are played, like "that's what
friends are for", "wave" -originally by A. Carlos Jobim, and "Moments
aren't moments" originally by stevie wonder. Dave Grusin is on keys,
Marcus Miller on Elec. Bass, Ralph McDonald on Percussion, Paulinho
Braga on percussion, Buddy Williams on drums ,Ron carter on stand up
bass.Kevin Eubanks does a fine job leading with electic and acoustic
guitar.

eagle spirit.
