专辑介绍

by Paula Edelstein

With Yours Truly Rick Braun broadens his audience appeal with smooth &jazzpects& of such pop and R&B covers as &Shining Star,& &Holdin' Back the Years,& &Love's Theme,& &All Around the World,& and &Daughters,& among others. His muted trumpeting on Earth, Wind & Fire's mega-hit &Shining Star& opens the program and sets the cool, laid-back tone of the set. This cool, laid-back feeling has put Braun in the ring with the best of the world's greatest trumpeters. On &Holdin' Back the Years,& his modern traditional approach gives listeners a sense of deep and undulating relaxation. His fluid-like state of inner joy surfaces in such appealing riffs that you simply forget you're listening to a CD. On &Love's Theme& the addition of Braun's trumpet voice to Craig Sharmat's skillful orchestral arrangement induces a state of complete harmony. &All Around the World& is an inspired odyssey. Rick Braun uses a melodic search for the woman in this man's warm stream of memories. Throughout the song, Braun gently pours a relaxed torrent of notes into a groove-infused synthesis of guitars, bass, and percussion offered by Ross Bolton, David Dyson, and Lenny Castro. &Daughters,& which features Jeff Golub, is absolutely beautiful and renders a sensation of tranquility. &Groove Is in the Heart& offers an up-tempo, funky change of pace and creativity. Braun's playing is definitely sexy, supple, and energetic. He is especially romantic on this rendition of &What Are You Doing for the Rest of Your Life?& David Benoit's beautiful piano and string arrangements tug at your heart and make this song the perfect mood-setter for falling in love and popping the magic question to someone special. Craig Sharmat's &heartbeat& effect really adds a subtle difference to this gorgeous ballad. Although this particular recording excludes original compositions by Braun and the ultra-fiery blowing heard on his Grammy-winning duet recording with Boney James titled Shake It Up, fear not. This is classic Rick Braun in a mellow, melodic mood, transporting listeners with the rich tones of his muted trumpet voice through the musical landscape of his life. Highly recommended.
