| | Earth, Wind, And Fire Best Of Earth, Wind & Fire Volume 1 CD Earth, Wind, And Fire Discography of CDs
Includes interviews with Maurice White, Verdine White and Phillip Bailey conducted by Leo Sacks. Digitally remastered by Mark Wilder (Sony Music Studios, New York, New York. The vocals, drumming, and production of Maurice White. ... Full DescriptionThe soaring falsetto of Philip Bailey. The fat, thumping basslines of Verdine White. That fantastic, piercing brass. All these ingredients combine to make Earth, Wind & Fire one of the premier R&B/jazz/funk bands of the 20th century and beyond. Compilation producer Leo Sacks has expertly remastered THE BEST OF to superior sonic quality and added two bonus tracks to boot.
"Got to Get You Into My Life" is a jazzy, soulfully swingin' take on the Lennon/McCartney composition. "Fantasy," perhaps the band's finest moment, combines stylistic percussion with inspiring harmonies. "Can't Hide Love" is finely crafted R&B sharpened to a glistening point by a tight horn section. "Love Music" is an uplifting groove that sounds brand new decades later. "Reasons" is a perfect R&B ballad, and Philip Bailey explains in the liner notes that though it's become a wedding song, it's really about a one-night stand. The explosive, funky "Shining Star" exudes spirituality. A bonus "Megamix 2000" (and edit) are included and combine various tunes into a club mix. THE BEST OF is a great overview of these Rock and Roll Hall of Famers.

Guitarist Jeff Ray resides in Harlem, New York, in the historic Strivers Row neighborhood. A native of Toledo, Ohio, Ray moved to New York in 1998, after completing his master's in music at Rutgers University, where he studied with Kenny Barron and Ted Dunbar. Ray earned his bachelor's degree in music from the Ohio State University after a stint at Miami University (Ohio) during which he played both football and baseball. Having taken up guitar at the age of 14, Ray was blown away upon discovering recordings by Dexter Gordon, Kenny Burrell, Wayne Shorter and Grant Green, among others. This exposure proved to be pivotal, driving him in the direction of jazz and improvised music.Landing in Harlem after a brief layover in Brooklyn, Ray immersed himself immediately in the vibrant and diverse uptown music scene, playing his hollow-bodied Heritage guitar in straight-ahead acoustic bands and organ trios, and his electric instrument in accompaniment of R&B vocalists and while fronting instrumental funk and R&B bands. He has played more than 200 gigs in Harlem alone, at venues such as St. Nick's Pub, Jimmy's Uptown, Perk's, Robin's Nest, Sugar Bar, the Gishen Café, Canaan Baptist Church, the venerable, now-defunct 22 West, and Copeland's. Beyond Harlem, Ray has performed at numerous East Coast and Midwest venues of note, including 55 Bar, the Supper Club, Cleopatra's Needle, Nell's, Joe's Pub, Zinc Bar, and Soul Café in New York City, Blues Alley and Twins Jazz in Washington, DC, Ortlieb's Jazzhaus in Philadelphia, Manhattan's ...
