As the title states, nothing could be more truthful of the disappointment I experienced in listening to this album. The deviating from the traditional sense of producing and composing music, to this "ONE FINGER PUSH BUTTON CHORD PLAYING, OVER-SAMPLING, CAN'T PLAY A NOTE TO SAVE YOUR LIFE-SO CALLED MUSIC.
THIS what ever you call it that record companies have been promoting is an insult to the true expression of music. It's worse than Fusion Jazz. If this serves as any consolation Good Brother,......Please realize that you don't need someone else to guide your hand in painting music that is obviously a mutation of anything previous done that depicted your real gift and a appreciation to be able to express it in a mutual and respected way that gave you respect amongst fellow musicians, but more importantly those who truly appreciate real good music. You said it best yourself "I've paid my dues to make it." And you don't owe any apologies for moving the world the way you had, and the billions of smiles that you brought to so many.
I think I'm not alone when I say how mortifying it is to see artist like unto yourself sell their souls hiring the so-called producers in the interest of capturing today's younger audiences. A 10th of the complete version of the "Wishful intended production." Music that is catered to the mindless and senseless generation that WE are producing by allowing Wicked and ignorant Corporate Heads to experiment with one of most precious entities of the human spirit, being the love and desire for "Rhythm, Harmony and Melody" which is truly absent in some of the tunes that were selected for this album. Sincerely: Get it together Brotha'
