"Anyone remember when Pat Sajak had a talk show? Thought not. Well, no matter, because the show was forgettable. What wasn't so easy to dismiss though was the house band, which rocked on admirably even after cancellation by virtue of this wonderfully accessible, upbeat pop effort conceived and produced by the show's musical director and one of jazz's premier saxmen. Purists who've followed Scott over the years may balk at such a commercial collection, but the music is as fun as the guys who are playing it, so who can argue? This band featuring L.A. clubbers Barnaby Finch, Pat Kelley, and Tim Landers help the expressive Scott bring the passionate funk to life. he Sajak band never did a group album after this, but each member was a sideman force in contemporary jazz throughout the next decade."

"De funky Somalische soulband Dur-Dur stamt uit de jaren ’80 van vorige eeuw. De band liet zich indertijd ruim inspireren door Bob Marley’s reggae en Santana’s gitaarwerk. De huidige Dur-Dur Band International werd in London opgericht in 2011 als eerbetoon aan het origineel (volgens wikipedia). De voortdurende wisseling in bezetting verhinderde hen niet om duchtig de hele wereld af te schuimen met aanstekelijke dansbare songs. De opname ‘The Berlin Session’ dateert van 2019 en ziet nu eindelijk het licht. De zangpartijen worden afgewisseld tussen de vrouwelijke Fadumina Hilowle (mijn favoriete stem die te weinig aan bod komt) en de heren Xabiib Sharabi en Cabdinuur Alaale. Muzikaal weet de 11-koppige band een schitterende mix neer te zetten van traditionele Afrikaanse ritmes uit Somalië met Westers geïnspireerde tunes. De Dur-Dur Band is één van de meest funky bands van de laatste jaren waarin vooral zangeres Fadumina Hilowle schittert." (keysandchords.com)
