Limited edition two CD pressing of this 2007 release from U-Nam, the French guitarist with a unique name and an acrobatic, soulful and sweet melodic style featuring a bonus disc. Back From the 80�s finely crafted music is firmly rooted in funky smooth Jazz but crossing into genres as excitingly diverse as R&B, Hip-Hop, Pop, Rock and Chill. This remarkable album offers fresh versions of classic and lesser-known gems from the �80�s. But even more remarkable are U-Nam�s brand-new songs inspired by his favorite songs from the decade. The CD gets a boost from the musical stylings of U-Nam�s musical partner, Frank Sitbon, who co-wrote some tunes, played keyboards and sang background vocals. To round out the project, U-Nam recruited an incredible mix of veteran musicians known both for their solo careers and studio playing: Jeff Lorber; Michael White (George Benson, Maze Featuring Frankie Beverly ); Alex Al (Stevie Wonder); Maysa Leak (Incognito); Steve 'The Scotsman Harvey (The Temptations, Ledisi); Melvin Davis (Chaka Khan, Lee Ritenour); and Paulinho da Costa (Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones ,Dizzy Gillespie, Ella Fitzgerald, Chris Botti, Al Jarreau and countless others). The first single is one of the best-loved songs from that period, The Crusaders� 'Street Life'. Soulvibe. |
