5 out of 5 stars Clark/Duke Project I.......2005-08-02

Although it took longer than expected to arrive, the CD sounds as good as the album I used to have.

5 out of 5 stars Two Heavyweights At Their Best!.......2003-07-15

Stanley Clarke and George Duke,two musical titans who'd
worked together for years finaly get around to doing a duo album,
namely one that emphasises the funk that both artist's regular
releases tended to skim over and considering funk is both artists
best asset,that's a wonderful thing.the big pop hit "Sweet Baby"
is a decent FM ballad but is not representative of this album
as a whole.The slick,uptempo R&B of "I Just Want To Love You",
the quirky cover of Richard Berry's infamous "Louie,Louie" and
Dukes "Finding My Way",a catchy pop-rock number are obvious
highlites-the latter being among Duke's Top 5 all-time best
compositions.But it's in the slamming funk splatters of the
rousing instrumental opener "Wild Dogs" and the vocal numbers
"Winners" and "Let's Get Started" where this collection finds it's full flower."Touch And Go" is a slightly more R&B-sy ballad
then "Sweet Baby" while the brief intro "Never Judge A Cover By
It's Book" (clever tital,George!) deserves to have been drawn out
a bit longer.A veritable collosus!

3 out of 5 stars One star for each great song.......2003-06-10

"Sweet Baby", "I Just Want to Love You", "Touch and Go"- these were some of my favorite songs during the summer of '81. I didn't really purchase the album(or rather cassette) until the summer of '85. The three killer songs mentioned above were a staple of the Black AM radio station in my hometown. Before recording "Vol. 1", George Duke and Stanley Clarke were Jazz and Pop superstars in their own solo careers. This first pairing had strong songwriting and vocals. Amazingly, both Mr Clarke and Mr. Duke have very similar vocal timbres and styling. Musically, the album is very staightforward and simple. Since the duo wrote their own material and play most of the instruments, they no doubt knew exactly how each song should sound. The rest of the album has some okay material (althought some of it is truely embrassing), but the three pop singles mentioned above carry the set as a whole.

5 out of 5 stars The Clarke/Duke Project review.......2000-06-10

If you want to hear some great bass lines, I strongly suggest this great cd because it is perfect for you. Stanley clarke is truly a great bass player and he sure comes out in this cd. It's no wonder why Clarke has inspiered so many great bass players. One of whom is Les Claypool from Primus.With Clarke and Duke together they make a great combo. This is a great cd and I hope you enjoy it.

5 out of 5 stars Two Great minds.......2000-03-22

these are two of the Greatest Musicians ever on the first of 3 projects.this is the best of them.the great slow jam Sweet Baby still is tight.hearing Duke on Boards&Clarke on Bass is a treat to the ears.a must have.
