Brilliant sax from the 80's

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This cd from 1984 has lively and complex sax sounds. It was the genius of George Howard portrayed in early cd's such as this that propelled him to continue his work. While you could say that some of the sound heard here is funky, George Howard's complex style far exceeds most sax out there today. "A Tear of Spring" is very fine. "Human Nature" is perfection. Annie Lennox's song "Sweet Dreams" receives some sweet justice. Anyone who loves the Grover Washington songs of the 80's will enjoy this cd. That's because George Howard & Grover Washington Jr. played together in their early careers. Both artists are gone and this cd will be gone soon too, so if you can still acquire it, hurry."
