Whie digging through the crates recently I was pleased to discover this gem of a Jazz Fusion project. If you're a fan of the carefree and cinematic sound of Hubert Laws or Dave Grusin in the 70's, "Legends" is just as pleasant. David Peter Valentin was the first musician signed to GRP Records, a label founded by Dave Grusin and Larry Rosen. Over time he recorded with Noel Pointer, Patti Austin, Lee Ritenour, Chris Connor, David Benoit, Eliane Elias, and Nnenna Freelon.
Kick back as this flutist sends your mind on cloud 9 with the magic he brings to woodwinds. Dave Valentin's "Legends" demonstrates the timeless and distinct sound of the flute and it's range of emotion. In addition, we get the sample source for Madskillz & Hi-Tek's "Y'all Don't Wanna" on Dave's cool Latin cover of "Afro Blue".
Hit up East LA Cervecero here at his YouTube channel to inquire about any of his tapes. Hopefully we can convince him to upload a full version of the "Buggin' Out" demo!
At my eBay Storefront (link at the sidebar of my blog) I've got the 1991 issue of Hip Hop Connection with Tribe on the cover, plus more collector's items.
Enjoy this gem from Madskillz summer 2024 album "The Seven Number Ones", and check out some of his rare instrumentals provided by Hidden Instrumentals UK.
