Editorial Reviews

Joe Claussell is one of today's hottest producers & DJ's, especially familiar to those who have had the opportunity to attend a night at New York's legendary Body & Soul where Joe is a resident. Being involved in both Dancetracks, another of New York's musical institutions & being solely responsible for the prolific label Spiritual Life Music, Joe's activities reflect his musical influences from rock & pop to African & Latin & are clearly demonstrated in the innovative & danceable tracks he produces. BBE & Urban Theory are proud to present Joe Claussell & an album which illustrates an evening with him & which shows the listener that he is more than just a house DJ. ‘A Reason to Celebrate' stretches boundaries by presenting us with a diverse number of tracks from Ronny Jordan & War to the hispanic genius of Jorge Ben & Hector Lavoe. This album allows the listener a new way of looking at & listening to world music, so open your ears & your mind & start dancing!

This review is from: Music Is a Reason to Celebrate (Audio CD)

Wonderful mixture of various types of music, and artists of the past 3 decades. Contains jazz, R&B, Disco, acid jazz, and some rare and out-of-print recordings. If you have a wide variety if tastes, then you will not be disappointed. An absolutely brillant piece of work.
A+++. Cheers!
