SUPER-HIGH MATERIAL CD

SHM-CD. Mellow Madness stands as a testament to Q's remarkable talent for creating a captivating, sonic tapestry through the intersections of jazz, soul and funk. This is top-tier 1970s soul jazz, while transcending it's time and continuing the polished, percolating soul direction of Body Heat. The album introduced the Brothers Johnson, co-writers on four tracks, who sprinkle their trademark vocal harmonies on the funkiest of grooves, while the Watts Prophets heralded a new music genre, blending spoken word and beats on Beautiful Black Girl. A highlight may be Stevie Wonder's euphoric My Cherie Amour, with vocals from Minnie Ripperton. Wah Wah Watson adds genius syncopation to Tryin' to Find Out About You. The last cut on the album is beautiful jazz standard, Bluesette, featuring a trombone jam and Toots Thielemans' virtuoso whistling. SHM-CD (Super High Material) format features more clarity, depth and definition of sound.
