TOP WORLDWIDE HITMORNING SUNBILLBOARD - OCT 3, 1981 (excerpt)Coming off a big selling LP (By All Means), singer and keyboardist Mouzon gets powerful backup here from Herbie Hancock, Lee Ritenour, Hubert Laws, Freddie Hubbard and Michael Brecker.BLACK ECHOES U.K. NOV 1981 (excerpt)You can't dislike it. The melodies and moods creep across your system like an asphyxiating drug. Alphonse's production, mixing and engineering are deceptively captivating, and it's easy to get entranced.ACCESS ALL AREAS - APRIL 1997 (IN GERMAN)Redaktionsliebling Alphonse Mouzon ist fleissig dabei, seine klassiker uas vergangenen Zeiten als CD wiederzuveroffentlichen.
Diesmal stellen wir aus dem jahr 1981 die Platte 'Morning Sun' vor. Im Disco-Stil, mit dem Alphonse immer wieder gern kokettiert hat, geht uns der Opener 'I'm Glad That You're Here' gleich an die Wasche, darauf folgen einlullende Melodien wie 'When Linda Smiles'. Die Platte ist ubrigens durchgehend in sanften Disco- und Dance-Rhythmen gehalten, den Groove der damaligen Zeit spurt man deutlich.
The Dukes, a Doo Wop group, were on top of the world at The Dukes, a Doo Wop group, were on top of the world at 17, and struggle for survival in 2008. Their manager is desperately trying to get them work but is met with failure at every turn. Finally pushed to the extreme, they pull a heist.
Als Gast ist Herbie Hancock dabei.
