Series # 122 Part 1 Master Sessions Of Dr. Marvin Smith, The Truth Be Told Better Than Hollywood featuring Chris Pasin,Joel Newton and Robert Kopec

Series 122 part1,The Master Sessions Of Dr. Marvin Smith, The Truth Be Told Better Than Hollywood has Master Players Chris Pasin,Joel Newton and Robert Kopec joining Dr. Marvin Smith and it all comes together, unrehearsed, in the moment and FLOWING nonstop for the next 34 minutes of PURE JOY. It all starts out with Chris Pasin blowing hard and full of sparkling colors during the first 5 minutes then Master Joel Newton takes over and blends beautiful chords and wonderful phrasing on top of that GREAT SWINGING GROOVE THAT Dr. Marvin Smith puts down with Robert Kopec taking a magnificent bass solo. I was over joyed listening to the entire 34 minutes and it went by quickly so I had to jump into it again and I suggest that everyone give it two listens because it's that deep. When hearing for a second time, you might experience a totally new journey because this music is poetic as well as telling a complete story about MUSICAL LOVE. These guys are "IN IT" with no hesitations and holding no emotions back. They simply move forward and FLOW just like the leader, DR. MARVIN SMITH. Marvin has that special way of exciting all the players around him and driving their emotional levels up so high that they end up playing in a musical zone that they've never experienced before and that's because Marvin Smith is so UNIQUE and individualistic. This is what makes him such a great leader and Master Drummer. Nobody sounds like him now and he has always had that unique voice of "BU GA LU". I loved the way this session was captured. The sound of the trumpet was so full and the bass was so great sounding. Joel Newton's guitar had a special colorful sparkle of happiness coming out of it. Marvin had a beautiful deep expressive drum solo and I loved every moment of this entire clip. The last song had that special time of 6, and I was moved into a slow West African Bell vision of sitting on "THE IVORY COAST". I almost ripped my Djembe out of its case but it didn't matter because I'd rather listen to these cats then have my dogs get upset with my shitty playing. I feel so great just listening to the healing, peaceful,loving sounds of these four cats communicating and having such a great time together. LOVE ALWAYS and ALWAYS LOVE, HABIB
