Series # 106 Marvin Bu Ga Lu Smith MASTER SESSIONS

Series #106 PART 1 "BETTER THAN HOLLYWOOD" THE MASTER SESSIONS Of Marvin Bu Ga Lu Smith
Featuring The Great John Esposito and Master Lew Scott.

Mona Lisa smiles of John Esposito were so gentle and yet powerful just like the music that said so much during the 32 minutes that I listened. GOOSE BUMP CHILLS WENT DOWN MY SPINE AS MASTER MARVIN BU GA LU SMITH PLACED HIS SENSITIVITY ACROSS THE TIME-LINE AND DEVELOPED COLOR AFTER COLOR THROUGH THE GROOVES THAT WERE LAID DOWN BY HIM AND MASTER LEW SCOTT. I believe that John Esposito is one of the MOST SPIRITUAL PIANO PLAYERS THAT I EVER HEARD and when combined with Marvin Bu Ga Lu Smith and Master Lew SCOTT, it's no wonder that this music took me on a dynamic trip into a zone that I haven't explored since the days when I sat on McCoy Tyner's piano bench next to him during the LIVE AT BIRDLAND sessions of John William Coltrane with Elvin Ray Jones and Jimmy Garrison. McCoy was playing so much piano that I was taken away into another land, another dimension and that's exactly what happened here, tonight at the Marvin Bu Ga Lu Smith Talmadge Street Session in his NEW 48 TRACK RECORDING STUDIO. "STATE OF THE ART SOFTWARE" is being used here. Listen to the dynamics captured by the COMPASSIONATE SOUND and MOTION STUDIO. Yeah, this music is OFF THE HOOK and some of the finest that I've ever heard. I never imagined that music could make me feel this happy and joyful. WOW! I love these guys. They get right into the center of my soul. They are such MASTERS. Playing with these CATS is a LUXURY. I mean, just sit back and allow this music to take you there. I've NEVER HEARD anyone get such a unique sound out of drums and cymbals as Marvin and John's playing is TOPS. HE'S what I call an ABSOLUTE M-TH_R FU__ER! There are few words that can be written about this group. IT'S UNIQUE. Lew Scott can stimulate anyone who plays with him, so can John but Marvin is an entity in himself, a TRUE DRUM GENIUS, ENGINEERING GENIUS, COMPOSING GENIUS AND TALENTED LEADER OF ANY GROUP HE PUTS TOGETHER as well as EDUCATOR, GREAT TEACHER. Listen to his solo work, how harmonic and creative. It's like listening to the wind blowing over the hills and the ocean. It's like riding on the sail of a sailboat. The deep thrusting beats that are created on those TOM TOMS are so hollow and deep, deep sounding, EXPLODING BUT YET ALSO CARESSING THE SPINE. Folks, this music is truly HEALING MEDICINE, IT SWINGS and SWINGS BEYOND YOUR IMAGINATION. Yes, it will produce goose bumps on your skin and give you BRAIN FREEZE JUST LIKE ICE CREAM DOES TO A LITTLE KID. It touches all your senses, I SAID, YES,YES,YES, IT TOUCHES ALL YOUR SENSES. This music carries forward the essence of what TRADITIONAL JAZZ REPRESENTS. IT'S DEEP BLUES and IT'S ROOTS are always there in every chorus. What a tribute to American Jazz Music: Marvin Bu Ga Lu Smith and his trio of John Esposito and Lew Scott.
I LOVED THIS SESSION TO THE MAX. BY THE WAY, I'M SURE MAX and ELVIN ARE LISTENING, DON'T YOU THINK SO?

LOVE ALWAYS and ALWAYS LOVE,
