5.0 out of 5 stars Heir to the R&B throne...., December 14, 1999

Having been a major funkateer (Parliament/Funkadelic, Bootsy, etc.,) and huge fan of R&B's best like Earth, Wind and Fire, I couldn't imagine a sound that could possibly eclipse what those bands were producing in the 70's. I was 18 years old when I first heard Breakwater on WDAS-FM in Philly, and to this day, I don't believe I've heard a sweeter blend of funk, jazz fusion and R&B....what nags at me is what happened to them? They were, in my opinion, the heir to the throne long held by EW&F! - GP

5.0 out of 5 stars Breakwater, Where have you been??, July 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Breakwater (Audio CD)

Breakwater set the standard in the 70's. If you lived in the Tri State area and was in to music you knew Breakwater. I was a fan the first time I heard them live. Their energy was captivating and the music well before it's time. Amazon you have done it again. Thanks for putting this back out in CD form. If you love good music both CD's are a must!

5.0 out of 5 stars Breezy soul, April 29, 2001

By 

Jazysol79 (Germantown, MD USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Breakwater (Audio CD)

This album is a rare treasure that gets sorely overlooked. I read about the group and decided to explore them. I found this album in a used LP shop, and man, was I blown away. Nice vocals, and an extremely tight instrumental base make his album a must have. The groove is tight, and never to aggressive. The album has a steady flow... it brings to mind jazzy soul like Maze or Patrice Rushen. This album is throughly enjoyable. I am just glad it is on CD, because it's well worth the cost. For furher enjoyment, try out the equally engaging "Splashdown," their second and final album.
