ENTRANCE on McCadden
An acoustic guitarist with a very pretty tone, Earl Klugh does not consider himself a jazz player. His jazz credentials however are quite impressive. Klugh played on a Yusef Lateef album when he was 15 and gained recognition in 1971 for his contributions to George Benson‘s White Rabbit record. He played regularly with Benson in 1973, was a member of Return to Forever briefly in 1974, and then in the mid-’70s, began recording as a leader. After a couple well-received solo albums on different Capitol imprints including Blue Note, Klugh hit pay dirt with 1979’s One on One, a Grammy-winning collaboration with pianist Bob James. More solo albums followed before the sequel to One on One, Two of a Kind, appeared in 1982. In 1984 he changed labels and released one of his most popular albums, Soda Fountain Shuffle, on Warner Brothers. Klugh made his biggest artistic impression yet in 1989 with the self-explanatory Solo Guitar. Two years later he would return to the “serious jazz” repertoire of Solo Guitar, but this time with bassist Ralphe Armstrong and drummer Gene Dunlap on the acoustic bebop outing The Earl Klugh Trio, Vol. 1. Cool from 1992 found him working with Bob James again and was followed by three more smooth releases for the Warner Brothers family before the jump was made to Windham Hill with 1999’s Peculiar Situation. Compilations, live albums, appearances with others, and reissues filled the years leading up to 2005’s Naked Guitar, a stripped down, standards-heavy album for the Koch label. The Spice of Life followed in 2008. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
