Corky Mcclerkin - Searchin For The Soul / 1983

merci a bubu .
A classic set of soul jazz from Chicago -- a rare indie date recorded in the early 80s, but with a tight and swinging feel that's more 70s jazz funk than you might think! Corky's on Yamaha keyboards, and he's backed by a hip group of Chicago players that includes Curtis Prince on drums, Artee Duke Payne on saxes, and Stephen Harris on guitars -- all working together in a tightly rhythmic sound with some slight spiritual undercurrents -- almost in the same territory as James Mason on his legendary record from a few years before! As with that set, there's a bit of polish here, but never too much -- a balance that makes the record a wonderfully mature record with a depth that keeps it going for years. Byron Woods sings lead vocals on the album's jazz dance classic "Searching For Soul" -- and a few other tracks feature Theresa Davis on lead vocals. Other titles include "Everything Must Change", "Open Wide", "Passion", "Jive Mama T", "Off C", and "Mirror Mirror".
