Undeniable [03:19] Guitarist, composer, and arranger Chieli Minucci is the leader of the Grammy-nominated jazz-fusion group Special EFX, which he co-founded with the late George Jinda in 1984. A major force on the jazz and world music scene for 25 years, Special EFX's newest release, Without You is a diverse collection of jazz-fusion, world rhythms, and the effortlessly flowing guitar artistry that Chieli (key-eh-lee) is known for. A true sound-tapestry, blending layers of sound and harmonic texture, Without You is an instant classic. This brilliant double CD collection of tracks features the original Special EFX lineup of favorites - drummer Lionel Cordew, bassist Jerry Brooks, keyboardist Jay Rowe, and vocalist/percussionist Philip Hamilton - plus many brilliant guest artists, including keyboardist Jeff Lorber, violinist Karen Briggs, keyboardist Lao Tizer, vocalist Will Brock, bassist Dave Anderson, and violinist Alan Grubner. Special EFX is one of the most prominent world fusion groups of the era. During the course of the band's phenomenal rise to the top of the jazz charts, they released 25 CDs, including Chieli's 8 solo releases and a live concert DVD. Seminal songs like "Daybreak", "Cruise Control", "Bella" and "Seduction" were among their chart-topping hits. This extraordinary super group takes their vibrant and exciting sound to the next level on its new Without You release, which encompasses diverse and eclectic sounds ranging from jazz fusion to world beat, pop vocals and rock-tinged arrangements. Chieli's latest project, the Special EFX CD Without You highlights an extraordinary career and is essential listening for his legions of fans. Songs like "Love's Lost in Translation" blends Philip Hamilton's mellifluous voice with romance and angst in an exotic, world music setting. Long-time fans may recognize parts of "The Night Is Ours", which is a completely re-written version of Special EFX's 1982 signature song "Sambuca Nights". Fans will also be entranced with "Hushabye", which was originally released as the instrumental "Sweet Surrender" but has been transformed with the addition of the soulful vocals of Will Brock. And for George Jinda fans, the tune "Man with a Drum" captures his original percussion sounds. Talented virtuosos Jeff Lorber, Karen Briggs and Lao Tizer are featured on tracks that may become the "new" classics for Special EFX. "Legendary keyboardist Jeff Lorber is a brilliant musical collaborator on 'Mountina Jameroon'. I'm excited to have his high intensity electric jazz flavorings on the new Special EFX CD," says Chieli. "I brought Karen Briggs into the project after hearing her amazing violin work on Yanni's Live at the Acropolis," explains Chieli. "She takes the violin to another dimension on our songs 'Lakeside' and 'Wonderboy.'" Special guest Lao Tizer brings his powerful piano vibe to the tracks "Bacchanalia" and "Afterglow". "I discovered Lao when he was 19 years old and we've been collaborating ever since. I knew his high-energy, unique piano work would bring another level of emotion to these Special EFX songs," says Chieli. Showcasing truly incredible musicianship, Special EFX's captivating jazz fusion textures and progressive new age twists take listeners on an uplifting musical ride they'll never forget. "Without You" showcases the band's special gift for combining harmony, feeling, and flawless technique with remarkable passion. http://rapidgator.net/file/2412369a01077a4f8fd6791bb87c06d8/CMIWY.rar.html http://ssh.tf/DBrjynOf7/CMIWY.rar http://uploaded.net/file/xjrvwfh6/CMIWY.rar http://rapidgator.net/file/64d3e2b7627824d227598931c5337092/CMIWY320.rar.html http://ssh.tf/h0Ca1UjE7/CMIWY320.rar http://uploaded.net/file/o3333ys1/CMIWY320.rar

Artist: Chieli Minucci & Special EFX Title: Genesis Year Of Release: 2013 Label: Shanachie Genre: Smooth Jazz / Fusion / New Age Quality: FLAC (image) / MP3 Total Time: 01:05:17 Total Size: 421 MB / 148 MB Tracklist: 01. Crazy Eights [03:48] 02. Till The End Of Time [05:24] 03. Mirage [04:29] 04. Blue Lagoon [04:09] 05. Far Away [04:29] 06. So It Begins [04:38] 07. Calico [05:54] 08. Genesis [03:51] 09. The Haunting [09:13] 10. Your Smile My Heaven [07:25] 11. Club J Z [04:03] 12. Wishing (Wishing, Piroutte, Pas des Deux) [07:52] Those who have followed Special EFX since the group's early years know that guitarist Chieli Minucci has never been short on vision. He and his late partner George Jinda delighted contemporary jazz fans with material that sparkled and inspired. Now celebrating its 30th anniversary, Chieli Minucci and Special EFX step forward with a tight, diverse, and creative project called Genesis, due for release on May 21. It is an apt title, considering that the group captures the very essence of what it has done from its very beginning - satisfy. Combining fusion and funk, blues and rock with new age, and simply embodying all things jazz, Minucci and company pack this release with some of the most well-conceived original tracks in the band's history. In addition to stellar performances by his core band, Minucci gets quality help on select tracks from guests Lao Tizer (acoustic piano), David Mann (sax and flute), Omar Hakim (drums), Karen Briggs (violin), Xu Feiyu (vocals), Mino Cinelu (percussion), and Vic Starsky (vocals). What makes this top-tier group so special and longstanding? Minucci says, "One of the reasons we have been able to maintain our popularity is because we have evolved and changed over the years. When the band first started, we had a heavy world music influence. Later, we highlighted more of an acid-jazz sound, as well as some progressive fusion-rock thrown in for good measure. When people hear our music, they can expect to hear a little of everything!" How true. In fact, in listening to this project, I immediately heard some of the abstract stylings found in the music of the iconic rock group Pink Floyd years ago. The track here called "Far Away" comes to mind, and visions of guitarist David Gilmour's runs especially came rushing in as I listened to Minucci's hauntingly beautiful 7-minute track "Your Smile, My Heaven." Truly a work of art. Of course, two or three tracks do not a great album make. You will hear so much quality and eclecticism throughout this album that you may have a hard time choosing a fave, as was and is my case. From the up-tempo funky, kinda bluesy, and spirited lead track "Crazy Eights" to the cool and super jazzy "Till the End of Time" to the island groove of "Calico" to the previously mentioned and riveting "Your Smile, My Heaven" and beyond, the band once again does justice to music as a whole. Genesis is indeed a great celebration of quality Special EFX contemporary jazz, and Minucci leaves no room for doubt. ~ Ronald Jackson http://rapidgator.net/file/6338e0ee47fee88d488a2eeb3527b373/CMGE.rar.html http://ssh.tf/N3XBJNef7/CMGE.rar http://uploaded.net/file/k7l772kc/CMGE.rar http://rapidgator.net/file/a3a6b3f150789620de8cbe9cc585f4e5/CMGE320.rar.html http://ssh.tf/JSPHYRIu7/CMGE320.rar http://uploaded.net/file/ja6udf4y/CMGE320.rar
