LORRAINE ROUSSEAU & ROBERT CARLTON

"IT'S A MYSTERY"

Arrow Records

The first two themes in this work, as well as some others, gather the most characteristic aspects of Rousseau & Carlton: a flute that takes the reins of a melody whose consistence is greatly due to the guitar accompanying it. Nevertheless, we also find ourselves with several incursions in different musical styles. This is the case, in the first place, of "Forever You", where bossa-nova gets mixed with the almost omnipresent flutes and the piano. "In From Now On", on the other hand, the electric bass, keyboards, saxo and piano, pore out the purest of jazz. Spanish airs are also breathable in "Los Arreboles", whereas Blues and a slight breeze of Caribbean rhythms are reflected in "Into the Night". As the topping of the cake, or as a present to the supporting task provided by the guitar during most of the album, a solo for this noble instrument in "Her Favourite Song".
