Review
Warm envrionment when Paul Simon gets so "close" to roughly 100,000 people in Central Park on August 15th, 1991. That was history. It's uncertain Simon has the glow to do it again. So history is history, and let's talk about it. I could easily categorize this CD in the "World Music" section because the concert indeed can't work without the dedication of the African musicians. Feel the wild African heat and passion and the percussion is full of energy immediately illustrated in the first song, "The Obvious Child." Also check out the gospel version of "Bridge Over Troubled Water," it's ever groovy. The rest combines Simon's original tunes, each with an African touch. Besides the talented African musicians, it features familiar names such as Steve Gadd on drums, Chris Botti on trumpet, Michael Brecker on sax and Richard Tee on keyboards. This concert is one of heat and passion. The best African/American music in a long time. I hope we're all "Born At The Right Time" to listen to this CD. This CD gives you a positive and upbeat attitude towards life and you'll say, "Life is good."
