Metro
Grapevine
The Story
"Grapevine" delivers the exciting fusion of Chuck Loeb's unrestrained guitar prowess and Mitchel Forman's phenomenal keyboards. Coupled with the German rising star, Wolfgang Haffner on drums and newcomer Mel Brown on bass, Metro's latest release charts new jazz territory. Chris Mann of Smooth & Soul enthuses, "All I can say is, if you think you knew what any of the players on this CD could do, think again." "Grapevine" features eleven instrumentals, one vocal number ("The Shine"), and their jazzy spin on a song made popular by the Temptations ("I Heard It Through The "Grapevine""), with brief, talkbox vocalisms.
