Album Review
With Bobby Lyle on all keyboards, he is joined with an all-star guest performer lineup for his forthcoming CD IVORY FLOW. The CD is contemporary and smooth with sensuous rhythms and signature Lyle melodies. But there are also a couple of traditional surprises as well (Indigo Nights, Cleo’s Waltz). The staggering list of musicians include the following: Kerry Wilkens guitar, Vincent Gross trumpet, Nate Phillips bass, Jay Williams drums, Stanley Clarke; Sonny Emory drums and Lenny Castro percussion; Tatiana Mayfield vocals, Rick Braun trumpet, and Brian Bromberg bass; Gerald Albright and Kirk Whalum saxes, Marcus Miller bass, Andre Hayward Trombone; Everette Harp saxophone, Kyle Turner and Ken Mondshine saxes, Jon Calderon guitar; Andre Venson vocals; Paul Jackson jr. guitar, Billy Kilson drums, Nathan East bass, and Vinnie Colaiuta drums; Marion Meadows soprano sax, John Patitucci bass.
