Dragonfly Summer

Michael released "Dragonfly Summer after a three year hiatus. What a wonderful return. The opener "Coming To Life" is an upbeat tune where Michael seems like he's singing about the start of this album itself. All of the songs are winners, I sometimes wonder what the outtakes are like, given the overall quality of the songs here. "Soul Mate" not only turned me on to Jeff Lorber, but also introduced me to Eric Benet, he's singing the harmony vocal. Not only is Michael talented, but the people he surrounds himself with, wow! The title track is fun, "Monk's New Tune" is about as late night jazz as Michael gets. "I Love Lucy" is that "I Love Lucy," the only cover Michael has recorded, save for a couple Christmas songs. The song is transformed from a Cuban lounge style to a romantic Brazilian influenced love song, the orchestration is glorious. "Practice Makes Perfect" is fun, "String Of Pearls" is a beautiful song, moving at a nice tempo featuring accoustic guitar and a woodwind solo.

Для альбома "Summer Daydreams" характерны необычайные сплетения звуков, состоящие из звучания скрипки, виолончели и кларнета, причудливо смешанных с мягкими, но яркими, звуками фортепиано. Это смешение настолько неуловимо и вместе с тем так необычайно красиво, что для очень многих почитателей new age и просто хорошей музыки, этот альбом будет просто неоценимым подарком.
