Album Review
Starting in the mid-'80s, guitarist Chieli Minucci and percussionist George Jinda co-led Special EFX, an unclassifiable group who combined together aspects of fusion, world music, rock, and pop in their own unique sound. Special EFX was a fixture on the GRP label during 1985-1993. This CD has 15 selections drawn from eight of their GRP sets and features the co-leaders (who take "Udu Voodoo" as a duo) joined by up to five other musicians, including several keyboardists, bassist Mark Egan, and drummer Dave Weckl. The melodic music (which often has electric keyboards as the lead along with Chielli's guitars) is full of complex pop rhythms, catchy themes, passionate solos, and subtle surprises. Although certainly not for jazz purists, Special EFX has their own interesting appeal and this sampler CD acts as an excellent introduction to their unusual and accessible music.
Customer Reviews
Can't go wrong
EFX Is smooth and none main stream, listening to thier music makes everyday a payday, Que on the grill and feet kicked up with friends. Buy the Album it's all good.
True Smooth Jazz!
Blackwidow26 pretty much summed up what I was going to say. Awesome Smooth Jazz!! Again, it's hard to find a "Smooth Jazz" album today where ALL the songs are good.
Very smooth music...
Special EFX has mastered the art of "smooth jazz". Songs like Ballerina and Hands of the Healer are great music to unwind to at the end of the day. Can't get enough of their music.
