Music Review: Jan Hammer,We'd Be So Lost Without You
Rating: 5 Stars
Jan Hammer is one of the most creative and diverse synthesizer/keyboardist of the 70's-up there with the Joe Samples and the Joe Zawinul's. And we're lucky all three had totally seperate styles because there's a wealth of great jazz/fusion/funk from that era to enjoy.This 1976 treat is among them. It has been long sought after on CD by Jan Hammer fans such as myself. I have been familiar with the vinyl record for a few years before I got the CD it only took it's presense here to be able to write a review. This album is one of two absolutely essential albums by the Jan Hammer Group;the other being the in-and-out-of-print-again jewel Melodies. This album is finds Jan in a progressive mood,in the sense that he's able to combine rock AND funk fusion together into a distinctive style that will find you listening to this album again and again-both on instrumental and vocal pieces. Those two pieces are not always a favorite among fans but I love them;"One To One" has the catchy,rubbery keyboard funk/R&B ala Stevie Wonder-all rhythm and moog bass breaks. The other is a synthesized variation on 60's psychedelic pop "Let The Children Grow",basically a poetic lyric on a parent's plea to a runaway child that they can learn to make things better for them;not bad at all. The best example of this albums sound in the wonderful title song;it was actually a 45RPM single in much the same league as The Headhunter's classic "Chemeleon";those being two jazz-funk pieces to become successful pop chart singles. The albums contains handfuls of classic funk-fusion instrumental goodies such as "Magical Dog","Twenty One","Bamboo Forrest" and the wonderful "Evolove" which feature in addition to synthesizers some great Fender Rhodes piano soloing from Hammer and some terrific electric violin playing from Steve Kindler.The music found here is both sprightly and creative and there's a lot of treasures to be found here.So we can truly be thankful this album is at last available on CD for all.
