Breakin' Away

Today I've finally received the CD's release of Al Jarreau "Breakin Away" album from 1981 ordered form a very kind eBay seller, and it's spinning right now on my CD player.

Listen the songs in this album bring me very, very far.
I was at a village fair in the evening, with some friends, some of those very clever… all us was more interested to new released like this that a local DJ friends was playing for us, than the girls that look at us: that night girls was not in first place of our thoughts! But Music was.

In the same time there was the George Benson release of "Give me the Night" single and many others… music those years was so smooth and so fine… in the clubs were we go with our friends a little bit older (do you remember the early wide legs jeans from Italian company BALL, flat red suede shoes and hawaiian shirts? That was the look!) and when the Boogie Oogie Oogie from "A Taste on Honey" was on the deck... oh guy's it was like a heaven on heart!

Rosie Vela

Today I have decide to go deep in the old stuff that is inside one of my various storage box all around my very, very busy apartment… in the box of music tapes I have find a recording of "Zazu" an incredible album out, I think, in the last months of 1986, and performed by a former topmodel Rosie Vela.
This fantastic album was produced by Mr. Donald Fagen of Steely Dan, and this made Zazu a must for me.
I have try to search on the bay a copy of this album... but I have find only few vinyl's… uhmmm... I think it's time to buy a turntable again, it seems that this need becomes necessary day by day cause I have discovered also few interesting vinyl's in my stuff… one is very special and rare: a 7" single from the movie soundtrack "Bright Lights, Big City" performed by Mr. Donald Fagen and the title is "Century's End" never released, I think, on CD.
By the way, make a search and try to listen "Magic Smile" from Zazu, and tell me what do you think about it.
