Bobby Lyle – The Genie | Album of the day 1st June 2020

Keyboard wizard Bobby Lyle’s Classic Jazz funk album ‘The Genie’ from 1977 was the first of a trio of strong Jazz Funk albums recorded in the latter half of the decade and includes the brilliant inventive title track ‘The Genie’, an all time classic, that goes through many changes but retains its groove throughout. His version of his own beautiful track ‘Night Breeze’ previously recorded by Ronnie Laws is another highlight. ‘Mother Nile’ is a mystical track with a deep rhythm structure, and ‘Pieces’ is a lovely dreamy mid tempo track. The more up tempo ‘Magic Ride’ and atmosphere’ You Think Of Her’ feature Bobby’s deep vocals.

Great Jazz Funk album that many possibly won’t know – well worth investigating.
