Description: Purists in the reggae community will be up in arms against producer Lee Ritenour for this 13-track star-studded effort, while the smooth-jazz world will rejoice over one of the year's best albums. While the former group cringes, the latter will marvel at how the guitar legend can take a well-known reggae anthem such as "Get Up, Stand Up," remove every ounce of reggae from it, add his buddy Dave Grusin to the mix, and make it sound like they wrote it for one of their duet albums. Even world-music purists should appreciate the same reggae-purifying process applied to "No Woman, No Cry" and "Redemption Song," with only the African elements left in, supplied in abundance by South African Jonathan Butler and Cameroonian Richard Bona, respectively. The results beat with the pulse of the continent more so than Marley's originals. Most other tracks maintain the reggae rhythms, with a definite commercial smooth-jazz lilt. There are no misses, but the bull's-eyes are both Maxi Priest tracks, and the inspired parings of Marc Antoine with Patti Austin and Rick Braun with Phil Perry. --Mark Ruffin

Reviews:

Movement of Jah People!!!

Ah, finally a suitable tribute to the legend Bob Marley!! Although his famous music was pure reggae and ska, the cd is almost completely comrised of jazz. This is an interesting turn on Mr. Marley's music, it gives it a fresh new edge. The good thing is that although you can feel the differences and the signature touch each of the different artists give the music, you can also hear the similarities as compared to the originals. In conlcusion, an very cool album! Bob Marley will never die!!!

Smooth Reggae Jazz.. :)

Lee Ritenour has done it again! The tittle of the CD says it all..."A Twist of Marley", it's a real twist. I'm a Reggae and Jazz fan and I absolutely loved this CD..though some Reggae fanatics may not appreciate this CD.
For the Sax lovers that know the lyrics to Bob Marley's song, you've got to listen to "Jamming" (some serious sax blowing...it's sick in a good way) other tracks I also appreciated were "Exodus", "Get up Stand Up", "Is this love". Now as a Reggae fan I didn't really appreciate "No woman, No cry" it was so so. Overall, it's a good CD to add to your Jazz collection.

True Art is Perfection

This is definitely a respectful and admirable tribute to the legend Bob Marley! I would find it hard to categorize this CD although it is absolutely Jazz style, I am assured that Reggae fans as myself that also love Jazz would find this an excellent addition to their music library. The compilation of legendary artist on this CD alone resounds excellent in the art of music. With the wealth of talent and contributions it is not doubt that...True Art Is Perfection.

It's hard for me to pick favorites on this CD because I love the entire CD and find myself listening to it often, repetitively!!! So to highlight songs on this CD I would give my praises in no particular order to REDEMPTION SONG this song without a doubt keeps true to the origin. NO WOMAN NO CRY, for those of you that are aware that I'm a die hard Jonathan butler fan.... I could not say anymore than I did on his CD Ultimate Butler, that this compliments the writer without mimicking style and JB does an awesome job!!

Also much love for TURN YOUR LIGHTS DOWN LOW, and EXODUS...and not to forget STIR IT UP!

To the Bob Marley fans get this CD...To the Jazz fans get this CD.... To musicians and music lovers get this CD.
