Dear,Friends

Dear,Friends /Abraham Laboriel(1993)



Abraham Laboriel is the worldwide famous base player and also the founder of the Christian jazz band KOINONIA.

This is his solo album with variety of sounds of base.
Abraham also did sing in those tune,"Look At Me"and "Arroyo"
Very unique way of sing !

He sounds to have smooth voice with affective beat!
It's the tricky composition that his vocal connects with bass in "Look At Me"!
In "Arroyo",his voice sounds like bese rather than human voice.

Philip Bailey partcipated by lead vocal in " And I Do".
Strong and simple expectation to the love .
You make an impression with a refreshing decision.
I really love this song among many songs of Philip Bailey!
I also like this words.

I live for you.
And all my hopes are for you.
My every dream is for you.
To spend every day with me.

Bill Champlain joined in this song by backing vocal.

By the way, various artists participated in this album.
Such as Dave Grusin, Al Jarreau, Larry Carlton, Paul Jackson,Jr……

"SAMBA 7 "featured light vocal of Al Jarreau makes us move !
"Dear Friends" is erotic and at the same time, orthodox number.
Anyway It's a wonderful album.that you have to have!
