5 out of 5 stars The Best Jon Lucien Album.......2001-12-29

I saw Jon Lucien live in Redondo Beach around the time Listen Love was released. This guy sounds better in person under bright lights and a microphone than he does on record.... And very few artists past or present can make that claim.

With a voice so rich, mellow and low that it's hard to imagine anything emanating from a man that outwardly appears so frail and drawn.

Rashida was my first introduction to the music Jon Lucien. If it were possible to capture the essence of romance, beauty, unrequited love and longing on vinyl - This was/is it!

It is a classic!

If you can find a long out of print copy of the "Many Moods of Jon Lucien" for under a hundred dollars, it's worth buying. It contains many of the gems collected from his RCA recordings.

5 out of 5 stars Heavenly beauty.......2001-12-20

I saw Jon at the Jazz Cafe in London recently and I have to say that recording don't do his voice justice he really is something else live.

This is one of Jon's most remembered albums on the other side of the pond for the mid-tempo classic "Would you believe in me" but this album is so much more. Love Everlasting is the kind of track you can imagine listening to on a sun soaked beach around sunset with your loved one a sheer joy to listen to. There is also the dark and moody "The War Song" with intelligent use of strings and bass and Jon's emotive line "Mother's crying young boy's dying hip hooay now, hip hooray". There is so much pleasure that can be derived from this CD all I can say is just buy it.

5 out of 5 stars Maishah's review.......2001-04-13

I have been a huge fan of Jon Lucien since my parents listened to his music in the 70s. I even have a daughter named Rashida. This album is truly inspiring. You can't rely define his music as jazz or put it into a category since it reflects a style all its on. This is the type of music you listen to while laying back on the beach or relaxing at home...wishing you were at the beach!

5 out of 5 stars Rashida weaves seductive web.......2000-02-24

Lucien's early 70's work, "Rashida" may be his best ever. The album flows as though it were one song with ocean sounds linking some pieces, childrens happy voices at play others - even silences sing on this haunting, deeply romantic journey to the regions of love lost and heart felt passion. The full range of Lucien's brilliant voice is given play here - and each note strikes deep into our most secret regions. Prepare to be taken on a journey of reflection, pain, and ultimately to the full joy that is love.
