Product Description
This is the perfect setting for acoustic guitarist Earl Klugh, playing strong melodies (including such standards as "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes," "Laura," "Mona Lisa" and "Two for the Road") while joined by strings and several horns in an orchestra arranged and conducted by Dave Mathews. As usual for a Klugh session, the guitarist sticks mostly to the themes and does not improvise much, as he never considered himself a jazz player; but the overall effect is quite pleasing.

5 out of 5 stars My favourite late night flight!.......2007-05-10

Earl Klugh enjoyed incredible success with his self-titled debut album in 1976 and with follow ups that included among others, personal favourites like Living Inside Your Love (also released in 1976), 1977's Finger Paintings, 1979's Heart String, the Grammy Award winner, One on One (with Bob James) and, just before this one in 1980, "Dream Come True". Klugh was the veritable Jay-Z of the jazz-fusion world back in the 70s and 80s, in the sense that he rarely if ever, allowed a year to go by without releasing at least one very good album.

Many considered this particular album (also originally released in 1980) a risky departure but his fans loved it and I was one of those fans. I think the album broadened his appeal because his next album, 1981's Crazy for You (another of my most loved) was his first album to go gold.

On paper, it sounds simple enough: Klugh plays 13 well-known songs on his acoustic guitar with the impeccable precision that he's renowned for. These are all standards - songs like "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes", "Laura" and "Mona Lisa" - and Klugh mainly plays solo, though on some cuts he plays with a full orchestra (arranged and conducted by Dave Matthews). The sound always remains basic and sparse though. He is joined by a handful of musicians mind you; there's acoustic bass, piano, rhythm guitar and Latin percussion here and there, and there are even people like Marcus Miller on bass on a few selections and Dr Gibb on percussion on "Jamaica Farewell".

But this is mostly about Klugh's tasteful and intimate sound, with lush and sweeping strings and horns in the background. It's truly beautiful and absolutely perfect for those late nights as the album title suggests. There isn't a dud to be found anywhere on this CD but I still have my favourites: "Nice To Be Around (Nice To Have Around)", "Like A Lover", "Laura", "Triste", "Two For The Road" and "A Time For Love".

Klugh took the theme just one step further in 1984's Nightsongs (cleverly subtitled "More Late Night Guitar"), which if possible, I love even more. For the orchestration on that album, Klugh tapped both Dave Matthews and Don Sebesky and with songs like "Theme From "The Pawnbroker"", "The Look Of Love" (Klugh's version was the first I ever heard), "Nature Boy", "Night Song" and "See See Rider", and with help from people like Barry Eastmond on keys, Brian Brake on drums, Sammy Figueroa on percussion and a special appearance on "Night Song" from Toots Thielsman on harmonica, this is also one not to be missed. Also look out for "The Shadow Of Your Smile" with Ron Carter on bass, Grady Tate on drums and a wonderful piano solo from Eastmond.

Earl Klugh went on to produce many a phenomenal album, way too many to list here but I'd say to any Earl Klugh fan or any fan of acousitc guitar - your collection is not complete unless have these two now iconic albums in it.

5 out of 5 stars the best classical jazz guitar album of all time.......2006-05-31

for jazz enthusiast, this album is a must and if you don't have it your missing the greatest guitar melody of all time; its a stress-relief music that is so gentle to the musical ears particularly the rendition of EK " LIKE A LOVER" that one could possibly describe it as if your listening it in paradise!be sure to get a copy of this masterpiece.

5 out of 5 stars Perfect For Late Night's Listening Enjoyment.......2003-11-17

I was introduced to Earl Klugh music by a friend way back in early '80s. Since then I have followed his recording career because of my love for guitar music. My late father owned a number of LPs of Chet Atkins, hence, my great appreciation for guitar music. The greatest influence in Earl Klugh's life is Chet Atkins, and I believe that he is as equally talented and creative as his idol.

I have collected some of the albums he recorded, "Living Inside Your Love," "Magic In Your Eyes," "Finger Paintings," "Heart String," "One On One" (with Bob James), "Sounds And Visions, Volume 2," "The Best of Earl Klugh - Vol. 2 (CD) "Late Night Guitar" (CD)and "Solo Guitar" (CD). This is the best Earl Klugh CD I own, next to "Solo Guitar." It has excellent material and impeccably interpreted by one of the greatest acoustic guitarists of all time, from the initial track Jerome Kern's "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" to the last track "I'll Never Say Goodbye." It's just perfect for easy listening and relaxation.

My personal favorites aside from the first track includes "Like A Lover," "Triste," "Tenderly," "Two For The Road," "Jamaica Farewell," and Paul Williams' "Nice To Be Around."

Highly recommended! I guarantee it will be a lifetime of listening enjoyment!

4 out of 5 stars A Little Late Night Guitar Music.......2001-12-16

I was very glad to see this come out on CD, since my old cassette tape went south (just like all of them do eventually). This collection made me an Earl Klugh fan. Songs like "Jamaica Farewell" and "Mirabella" also got me more interested in acoustic guitar and learning to play it (albeit pretty raggedly). I would have added a few more Klugh gems to this collection, since it's rather short. But overall, for relaxing music, this is a fine CD.

5 out of 5 stars "WHEN IT'S TIME FOR LOVE...".......2001-03-05

put on "Late Night Guitar," Earl Klugh's masterpiece, to set the mood off right. Songs like "Tenderly," "Mona Lisa," "Like a Lover," and my favorite, "I'll Never Say Goodbye (The Promise)" put one in a state of pure relaxation and a desire to be with the one you love. Earl's playing is so melodic and filled with so much emotion, you're completely taken in by his artistry. From first song to last, you're hooked. The flow of this CD is simply beautiful. One of my favorite periods in Jazz is the '70's and some of the best artists (Noel Pointer, Grover Washington Jr., David Sanborn to name a few)who came out of that era of Jazz-Fusion continue to be my favorites. Earl is one of them. I've got a lot of his work and this is what I consider a classic. A must have for Earl Klugh fans.

5 out of 5 stars The Spaces You Forgot to Listen In.......2005-03-29

If you were dreaming and driving at night with someone you love, this album is what you would hear on the wind.

We've got access finally to a lot of independent, new music. This is a time to explore and if you're up for it, anything by Lanterna (Henry Frayne is the key individual) is worth the time and the money. Highways is the latest incarnation of this talented musician's sonic mind. I listen to Highways in the early morning and sometimes driving by myself at night. This is definitely music to listen to by yourself. It is music for the soul--jangly guitar, acoustic rhythms, textured drums, poetic vibrations, and ambient sounds...even an intentional few minutes of silence in there on the title track for those of us who pay attention--and a payoff afterwards...kind of an untitled new composition.

Word is that Lanterna's coming out with a new album sometime in the summer so pay attention. Highways is a great jumping point for the uninitiated though. Elm Street is still my favorite, but I'm really looking forward to the next edition. Stay tuned.

4 out of 5 stars Henry Frayne gives us more luminescent guitarscapes.......2004-03-02

An hour with Henry Frayne, creator of music under the band name Lanterna, is a little like an hour of exploring the ocean depths or the vast reaches of space. He creates sonic pictures of the mind with his lingering, layered electric guitar chords and atmospheric melodies. The leadoff track, "Clear Blue," is just the latest fine example of Mr. Frayne's instrumental art. It shimmers with a kind of subliminal beauty, made by echoing sustained guitar tones that could be described as "ambient," but are best appreciated without concern for category. The CD is called Highways, and listening to its nine tracks is indeed something like a journey along the back roads, sometimes in contemplation and sometimes in sheer enjoyment. On this fourth Lanterna disc, the trend continues (begun on the Sands CD) of mixing in more of a rock feeling with some of the songs. This time it's on the Metheny-esque "Brooklyn" and especially on "Brightness," which features some David Gilmour-like choppy electric guitar chords.

As much of a huge Lanterna fan as I am, I'm a little sad to hear some signs of stagnation on Highways. A song such as "Canyons," a gentle acoustic-electric number that never really goes anywhere, makes me wonder if Henry has taken this particular "instrumental themes" thing about as far as it'll go. I hope not, because I'm still prepared to travel along with him for awhile longer.

Album Description

Midnight roams. Dirty cities. Insomniac maniacs. Street vendor roses. Corner dwellers. Secret passageways. Glory. Heroes in stereo. Shanty towns. Night trains. Real eyes. Half wishes.

This is Atlanta-based singer/songwriter Faith Kleppinger's debut solo album, "Asleep In The Well" -- a stripped-down, woozy, late-night drift through softly-sung stories.

Unique lyrical observances and a dreamy sense of melody are the pillars of Kleppinger's songwriting. "Asleep In The Well" is a portrait of this talent loose and in the raw. Enjoy.

3 out of 5 stars Stay Sleeping.......2003-11-29

Faith Kleppinger originally began her career as part of the seminal Atlanta-based roots-pop band, Little Bobby Taylors, but is finally releasing her atmospheric solo debut, Asleep In The Well. Kleppinger has some big expectations to live up to, as she's a current three-year vet of the CMJ New Music Marathon. Vocally reminiscent of Kristin Hersh without the throatiness and Courtney Love without the alcohol addiction, her singing is fragile and unsure of herself. One of the aspects, which will make Kleppinger stand out amongst her peers, are her observant imagistic lyrics which fuel the haunting (and perhaps Italo Calvino inspired) "City Three," and "Double Negative." Contributing to the disc are former Sugar-member David Barbe, and Blake Rainey who duets with Kleppinger on "Double Negative" and "Howlaround." Though Kleppinger might've fell asleep in the well with her latest album, it's evident she has enough talent and determination to claw her way out.

5 out of 5 stars Indie Queen.......2002-05-17

Forget Cat Power - Faith Kleppinger is the queen of intimate indie rock.

5 out of 5 stars Songwriting at its Finest.......2002-05-17

If you like great music dreamy with a soft spoken delivery, this CD is for you. These stark songs all have their own unique beauty - especially City 3, Frames, and Runaround. This isn't folk music, but real songs played and displayed on an intimate level. Excellent debut!

      5 out of 5 stars "WHEN IT'S TIME FOR LOVE...".......2001-03-05

      put on "Late Night Guitar," Earl Klugh's masterpiece, to set the mood off right. Songs like "Tenderly," "Mona Lisa," "Like a Lover," and my favorite, "I'll Never Say Goodbye (The Promise)" put one in a state of pure relaxation and a desire to be with the one you love. Earl's playing is so melodic and filled with so much emotion, you're completely taken in by his artistry. From first song to last, you're hooked. The flow of this CD is simply beautiful. One of my favorite periods in Jazz is the '70's and some of the best artists (Noel Pointer, Grover Washington Jr., David Sanborn to name a few)who came out of that era of Jazz-Fusion continue to be my favorites. Earl is one of them. I've got a lot of his work and this is what I consider a classic. A must have for Earl Klugh fans.

        Product Description

        Born in Memphis, TN, USA, Kimani lived his early years in various parts of the southern U.S. before settling in Miami, FL. While learning to play musical instruments (piano, bass, saxophone), he also indulged in another passion: buying vinly records. After attending Howard University in Washington, DC., he put down roots in DC and, along the way, befriended and mingled with a number of the Washington, DC/Baltimore, MD area's talented house and downtempo artists/DJs. 12 inch record releases soon followed. Well received Kimani records include 12 inch EPs on Strictly Rhythm, i! Recordings, Groove On, K2 Recordings, Kumba Records, and Soul Boy Records. A full length CD, Afro Kozmik Soul, was released in 1999 on Step Ahead Records and saw the licensing of one of it's songs (Kozmik Listening 101) for The Spirit of the Street -The Very Best of Inner City Cool Part II compilation CD on London's JazzFM label. Additional work includes his downtempo/r&b production of "Whenever" on Jody Watley's Midnight Lounge album (joining the company of King Britt, Masters at Work, Ron Trent, and Dave Warrin.) His work with Jody Watley also includes a house dub version of Whenever that was released in 12 inch format on the Peace Bisquit label.
