I listened to this last night -

Ursula Dudziak - Future Talk

Sometimes, for some unknown reason, I will not play an album for a long time. Then when I do, I wonder why it's been so long.

This is a real lesser known minor classic of the first fusion era. Not only does Ursula have a great voice, but she has a great feel for fusion. Very inventive, but still pretty accessible. There are no words in any of the songs, just great vocalizations and scat.

She is joined by her (then) husband on violin, Michael Urbaniak. Who is also one of the unheralded jazz musicians of the last few decades. A great Polish sax player, Zbignew Namyslovsky, US drummer, Buddy William, Kenny Kirkland on keys, John Abercrombie on guitar, Marcus Miller on bass, and others. It is an all star lineup.

Damn nice review, bro.

Cheryl is best known for her work with the group Manhattan Transfer. Very nice voice (and gorgeous to boot).
