3.0 out of 5 stars This chap is going to go far !, August 1, 2000

This review is from: As We Speak (Audio CD)

It's a 1982 release, so you have to expect a slightly dated and flattish recording compare to the nineties or current crisper productions. That said there are a few corking tracks here which cut the mustard. Marcus and Omar (how good a rhythm section!) do the business when required, and the opening drum intro from Mr.Hakim on the best track on the album (Rush Hour), is so funky. Dave Sanborn is a great alto & soprano sax player, and even back in the dim and distant eighties, is sooooo much better than the suicidal tiresome offerings from today's smooth jazz dullards. Fans of Marcus Miller also will find lots of trademark twanging to amuse & bemuse. This album is real low cost now, so sling it in the shopping basket.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still Outstanding, March 12, 2003

That says it all. I've owned this one since it was born, and every time I lose it or kids BREAK the CD I replace it. It truly does stand the test of time and there's nothing trite or redundant about the tracks. They're wonderful from start to finish.David outdoes himself.

Wheather the tune be mellow or funky to the hilt David Sanborn always gives the music his all!And there are plenty of
examples of fine funk jazz to be found on 'As We Speak'."Rush Hour" and "Back Again" both groove hard and fit solidly into that
catagory while the opening "Port Of Call" takes a mellower trip down a similar path,highlited by Geogre Duke's steller solo on his patented castlebar clavinet!From cut one to cut nine this
album sparkles with joy and brilliant musicianship!
