Interpretations

Interpretations (2006)




Cooking resembles music.
Both are very creative, very interesting how the expression the author shows.
The taste is delicately different even the cooking was made with the standard recipt.

Many creater gives many idea to the dishes.
A device and an effort of the arrangement makes a variation of innumerable cooking.

When you express this in music; a cook is a leader or a band becoming the nucleus of the performance.
Material such as a pumpkin or cheese are members and musical instruments.
Score is a recipe.
And an ear will take the duty on the tongue in the music.

Tribute album "Interpritations" to Earth,Wind&Fire was released.

1. Shining Star	Chaka Khan
2. Be Ever Wonderful	Angie Stone
3. September	Kirk Franklin
4. Devotion	Ledisi
5. Can't Hide Love	The Randy Watson Experience
6. Love's Holiday	Lalah Hathaway
7. That's The Way Of The World	Dwele
8. After The Love Is Gone	Mint Condition
9. Reasons	Musiq
10. Fantasy	Me'Shell Ndegeocello

I expected that there was participation music of Maurice White but there was no
number featering him.

It is happy to listen to the famous music of EWF with the voice of other artists.
But I have a feeling that there may have been a chef finishing the music by original spice and recipe.


September of Kirk Franklin and
Fantasy of Meshell Ndegeocello are very unique.

Mixed well and happily to another music of EWF!
However, the other music seems to have been bound too much by original music.
I wanted them to tell by various recipes.
Even if I say so, I always listen to this album.
