Description
This LP album "Partners" from Scherrie Payne and Susaye
Greene-Brown is best categorized as funky soul. It's quite a decent piece
of music. Although the album cover suggests 'sweet' music, the music is
mostly rhythmic. Silvestri was involved with this album as a 29 year old
arranger and guitar player during his CHiPs years. Alan arranged the
rhythmic songs "Storybook Romance" and "Leaving Me Was The
Best Thing You've Ever Done" and the more slow song "You've Been
Good To Me" in a professional way. Unfortunately Alan's guitar work
isn't very noticable on all the tracks.
Interesting is that there are a lot of musicians on this album that
also played for Alan on various scores: Randy
Waldman (synthesizer, piano), Gary
Grant (trumpet, flugelhorn), Paulinho
Da Costa (percussion), Abraham
Laboriel (bass, The Mexican and the Jimmy
Smith album Sit on It!) and of course Gene
McDaniels (The Mack, Mystique
and the Jimmy Smith album Sit on It!).
If you like a good piece of funky soul music and if you are a big
Silvestri fan I would recommend trying to get this album from Silvestri's
earliest years.
