Clarkes Stationers

The exceptionally talented Jazz artist Stanley Clarke has released CD entitled Toys for men. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Stanley Clarke fans and jazz lovers will be happy with it. With the release of toys Men's artistic excellence is exposed to the Stanley Clarke, Clarke has again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be him best work to date.

The CD opens with an outstanding track, toys for men, which I anticipate will be heard on radio stations everywhere, and rightly so. It's really a very nice track.

Toys for men pleasantly varied, mix of 13 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly outstanding artist. Most of the songs display a lot of emotion that does everything for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are him own real life experiences. At different points touching the most real emotions like love and pain of relationships certainly can not be heard.

Listen to the toy men and I think you'll find little to say please. The songs are inspired, the production is simply outstanding, and Stanley Clarke is clearly in top form. So much so that if you're even slightly into Jazz music you'll enjoy this CD.

Although this CD is completely outstanding some of my favorites are track 2 - Intervention cosmic track 4 - Back In The Woods, and track 13 - No. 6 Bass Folk Song

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [... as in "Stuck On Repeat"] is track 1 - The toys of men. What a beautiful track!
