Special Efx - Special Efx Allstars [CD]

Three and a half decades since the release of their self title debut album, Chieli Minucci and Special EFX find themselves still blazing new trails of innovation with their unique brand of contemporary jazz seamlessly blending progressive pop, soul, funk with an undercurrent of freewheeling world fusion. Following last years Song Of The Year honors from Billboard magazine, Special EFX again moves the musical bar with this invigorating highly infectious trip that paints a vivid portrait of the journey with all of the colors and moods that have come to define one of the genre's most lasting and relevant bands. Allstars is a 14 track ride that truly captures the essence of over 30 yrs of recording and collaborating, sporting a virtual who's who of a list genre stars gracing the grooves, specifically chosen by Minucci as some of his favorite musical collaborators over the years.
