Jj First, let's talk about
C rhythm and blues and a singer
? named Brandi Wells, whose
C new album, 21st Century Fox,
ff is on Omni Records.
V Side A: "21st Century Fox"
t is boring. "Savannah" is a
B good song, but probably
C won't be a hit. "Why Can't
J We Be Lovers" is a great song,
\ a soft ballad I think will be a
u hit. "S," has a potential of be\
ing a hit and generating a
f small audience, but will not
i surpass "Why Can't Wc Be
Lovers."
Side B: "Midnight Dancer"
is all right but isn't great. I expect
it will be remixed and
played in the club circuit. "All
Fired Up" is nice and mellow.
Everyone will love this. It's
bona fide hit material. The
first upbeat song on the album
is "She or Me," which
definitely has a positive feel,
although it still needs some
remixing and more elaborate
orchestration. "Careless" is
almost beautiful, even though
it lacks imagination. It is very
well-done and makes a pretty
good ballad. Shannon helped
write this one, so I expect it to
be Dlavcd a lot. "Tr>nioht" ic
/ upbeat and really driving, but
1 it isn't exciting.
C On the whole, Wells is a fine
J singer. Although this album is
% far below my expectations, I
/ think it will draw some atten\
tion.

Now let's look at some jazz, j
Frank Morgan with the Cedar (
Walton Trio have released a 1
new album, Easy Living, on ^
v^uiiiciupui ui y ivecorus. J
Side One: "Manha dc Car- \
nival" is very relaxing. The f
soothing, melodic sax is J
wonderful. This is a touch of f
what Sting and Sade now I
fashion their songs after. "Yes I
and No" is a mellow, upbeat, J
swinging tune. The piano solo 1
is a flighty, jazzy statement ff
without being pretentious. I
like the drum solo, but it could I
be better. The title track, J
"Easy Living," is a beautiful 1
song, better than the original |
recorded in 1937 by Billy Holi- j
day and Teddy Wilson. It's I
pcrfect for a romantic even- J
ing. "The Rubber Man," is 1
extremely smooth. J
Side Two: "Third Street J
Blues" is a delicious number f
The walking bass makes the J
song more rhythm-oriented. \
Morgan's sax playing is a i
treat, and the piano playing 1
will remind you of a cool bran- I
dy. "Three Flowers" has a
very mellow intro that soon C
picks up, although just a tad. J
The soft drums and ever- 1
marching piano will have your i
fingers tapping in no time.
"Embraceable You" starts I
with a delicate piano introduc- J
tion, which smoothly 1
transcends into Morgan's cool i
sax.
