Lundy comes right at you with the hip &#8216;Snake Eyes&#8217; and carries the groove through to the frenetic &#8216;Carmen&#8217;. &#8216;Love Transforms&#8217; is another gem in this collection of jewels, Lundy&#8217;s bass carrying the track without overwhelming it. There&#8217;s also some very nice sax work here. <\/p>\n<p>  This CD is a pleasant surprise, and better than his last release which was a little sparse in places, lacking the fullness and <i>emotion<\/i> you get on this one. The crew is superior and compliment Curtis&#8217; soulful style throughout the CD. It&#8217;s hard to put this CD into a category, but if forced I&#8217;d call it good old straight ahead <i>Accoustic <\/i>jazz, with a touch of soul. It&#8217;s that accoustic touch that makes it so real, so comfortable. I&#8217;m glad to see Curtis back with a great release, a contender for the year&#8217;s ten best.  <\/font>            <?php require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . \"_footer.htm\");   ??><\/body><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Curtis LundyPurpose(Justin Time &#8211; 2002) by Raymond Redmond Bassist Curtis<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3662","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3662","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3662"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3662\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3662"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3662"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3662"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
