3.0 out of 5 stars Winwood's "Band On The Run", September 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Aiye-Keta (Audio CD)

Recorded on hiatus with Remi Kabaka and Abdul Lasisi Amao between Traffic's "Shoot Out At The Fantasy Factory," and "When The Eagle Flies," "Aiye-Keta" is a vital component for any Traffic or Steve Winwood CD collection. It's loose, chiefly instrumental, and a refreshing break from the confines of stardom.

3.0 out of 5 stars A near miss., April 17, 2000

Recorded while Traffic was still at the top of it's game, hooking up Steve Winwood with some solid African musicians was an intriguing idea. Unfortunately, with the exception of Happy Vibes, the songs are nothing more than groove-jams that fail to really take off. A pity more attention wasn't paid to composing. Winwood does not sing on this one, instead he mans the organ, bass and guitar ably. Not essential, but an interesting listen...Simon

The last 2 reviews are crazy for not giiving anything less than 4 stars for this album.If you like early fusion/afro-pop/jazz this for you.For three men to accomplish the wonderful sounds that come from this album is self explanitory.If you like Osibisa,War,Early Kool & the Gang (Jazz),Santana (Jazz),Return to Forever,Mahavisnu Orchestra,Freddie Hubbard (Fusion Years), and of course Mr. Handcock (Fusion)you will love this.
