Editorial Reviews

Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1976 album from the renowned, Grammy-winning drummer, performer, producer and songwriter. Primarily an instrumental album (with the exception of the funky 'Sho Nuff Groove,' co-written with Louis Johnson of The Brothers Johnson and featuring Harvey on lead vocals), Earthmover's star players include Patrice Rushen, Greg Phillinganes, Ray Parker Jr., The Seawind Horns, Anthony Jackson and Merry Clayton on background vocals. The live track, 'When I'm With You' features famed Motown bass player James Jamerson while renowned keyboardist Jan Hammer plays on and co-wrote the fusion standout 'No Lands Man'. Produced by Harvey, the album spawned the single 'K.Y. And The Curb,' included as a bonus track on this expanded edition along with the UK-only single edit of the funky rare groove cut, 'The Mase' - which became Harvey's music biz nickname.

5.0 out of 5 stars A sleeper Jazz fusion CD, February 25, 2009

This review is from: Earthmover (Audio CD)

I had this CD, and to a musician(if you're into Fusion or Electric Jazz, or Funk)is the CD has the who's, who of session musicians of the era. Louis Johnson, Anthony Jackson, and the Legend, James Jamerson Sr. play the Fender Bass. Pat Rushen,Dave Grusin, Jan Hammer(who Miami Vice theme Fame), play the Keys. Lee Riteour, Mike Sembello, David T Walker play the guitars, and Harvey plays the rest. Might I add, He's very good , on the vibes. He's a home brother from NJ, so i know about the main title of the CD.(KY and The Curb) a part of Atlantic City, NJ, (before the casinos), when, back in the day, The "Duke", B.B., The Count and countless others hung out and played, in the city. It's a must, for those Jamerson fans, because this was one of those tracks, before his death, where He still had "the groove" to compete with the new guys, like louis Johnson.
