本日のCD Roberta Flack ♪ Oasis

 

 前作「Born to Love」から6年ぶりの1988年作品

シンセを中心とした楽曲作成と、複数のプロデューサーが

楽曲を担当してロバータ・フラックが総指揮を執っているアルバムです

プロデューサーに名を連ねるのはQuincy Jones,  Marcus Miller, 

Michael Omartian, Andy Goldmark, Barry Miles, Jerry Hey

参加ミュージシャンもOasisでは私の好きなDavid Sanborn

ギターでMike Landau, Paul Jackson Jr.

ベースは Nathan East, Earl Klugh そして当然Marcus Miller

ドラムは Steve Gaddm、パーカッション Don Aliasと豪勢

アルバムタイトルは「Oasis」だが、

リプリーズもありロバータ・フラックのメッセージが

込められているのは「And So It Goes」でしょう 

曲はマヤ・アンジェロウ（Maya Angelou）

との共作で彼女は詩人であり黒人女性社会運動家です

別れた恋人が他の女性と歩いていてるのを見て昔を思い出す歌詞ですが、

その情景に何かを暗示しているのかと想像もかき立てます
