Artist: SCOTT-HERON & BRIAN JACKSON, GIL
Title: Bridges
Label: ARISTA
Format: LP
Price: $14.00
Catalog #: AB 4147HLP
180 gram exact repro reissue, originally released in 1977. "Gil Scott-Heron, Brian Jackson, and the Midnight Band take a slightly different approach with their 1977 effort, Bridges. With less of the gaping and world-infused sound prevalent on previous albums, the songs are more concise and Scott-Heron comes into his own as a singer depending less on his spoken word vocal style... the excellent songwriting exposes Scott-Heron at the height of his powers as a literary artist. The social, political, cultural, and historical themes are presented in a tight funk meets jazz meets blues meets rock sound that is buoyed by Jackson's characteristic keyboard playing and the Midnight Band's colorful arrangements. Scott-Heron's ability to make the personal universal is evident from the opening track, 'Hello Sunday! Hello Road!,' all the way through to the gorgeous '95 South (All of the Places We've Been).'" -- All Music Guide
