Loose Ends was still in peak form on the late-’80s Zagora. “Slow Down”
was an R&B chart topper and huge club smash, and they had two
other songs become moderate hits. Loose Ends had found the right
mix of teasing vocals, clever lyrical hooks, tight production, and good
arrangements that weren’t relentless in their backbeats, yet were also
groove-oriented enough for dancers.

By Armando M. Mesa Amazon.com

This is still a Loose Ends favorite release of mine ! Before hip hop or
the “new” hard hitting style of rap I had almost forgotten what it was
like to listen to a genuine R & B, adult contemp.jazz flavored, dance
group or album. Leave it to the Brits or the U.K. to really sound like
many of their American musical counterparts when it comes to good
old fashioned R&B/Soul sounds. Zagora opens with the Middle Eastern
sounding of Stay A Little While and then breaks into familiar mid-80’s
groove territory.Then, it goes for the slick and pulsating sassiness of
Slow Down. The soothing sultriness of Sweetest Pain and the sweet
balladry of You Can’t Stop The Rain make any listener appreciate true
vocal talent and musicianship from such a group.
The only other release, as the original trio of Loose Ends ,that would
come close to this album is entitled The Real Chuckeeboo from 1988
(no longer in print nor available as a c.d. import).If any true fan or
listener can spot this title at a used c.d. shop,two words of advice,
GRAB IT !

If I had’t taken my vacation in Seattle,WA in ’85,I would never have
known about this album until now. I grabbed this at a record store
there and couldn’t wait to get home to hear it. It was worth the wait!
Every song on the album is great in my opinion and I took giddy pride
in the fact that I was the only one in town ( as far as I knew ) that
owned it(to this day, I have never seen or heard it anywhere else).
There is an excellent variety of song styles on this album and the
arrangements are superb. My two favorite cuts are “You can’t stop
the rain” and the title track. They both have that melancholy “rainy
day” feel to them that I love. Overall, I love this album for all the
aforementioned reasons. It is to my pleasant surprise to see that it is
available now on C.D.

One of Stan’s greatest CTI sessions. Some of you will recognize “Sister Sanctified” sampled by KRS One on the cut “My Philosophy” from the BDP By All Means Necessary album released in ’88.

Stanley Turrentine had a very recognizable tenor sound that was edgy
without being thin. He could also deliver a full-bodied ballad sound when the
music called for it. All of this is in evidence in this collection. On top of that,
he’s matched up with one of the all-time great vibraphonists, Milt Jackson,
who was always the perfect partner for each of the jazz artists he teamed up
with on numerous recordings over the years. Along with nice backup from
Bob James (piano), Cornell Dupree (guitar), Ron Carter (bass), and Billy
Cobham (drums), Turrentine and Jackson – who should have been given
equal billing on this album – deliver a memorable session.
Your appetite for the spirited and the bluesy will be satisfied by “Speedball,”
“The Revs,” “Sister Sanctified,” and “Introspective,” plus two soulful ballads,
“I Remember You,” and “Cherry.” The album is short by today’s standards at
just 38 minutes, but you’ll enjoy every one of the six tracks.
