Product Description
Chronique amazon.fr
Stanley Clarke a beaucoup donné au jazz, à la fusion (entendre par là jazz-rock), au funk, au rock et au rhythm'n'blues ! Fidèle à la multiplicité de ses influences et de ses centres d'intérêt, le bassiste offre un disque pour moitié rock, l'autre moitié étant dévolue au seul funk. On remarquera surtout les fulgurances soniques du guitariste Charles Johnson, le beat implacable de Simon Phillips, la présence du vieux compère Chick Corea et du vibraphoniste Victor Feldam repéré chez Miles et Frank Zappa. Le meilleur du disque est le thème titre, alors que le reste laisse sur sa faim car finalement plus proche d'une fusion mainstream (Patrice Rushen, par exemple) que des premiers albums du leader ou de Jaco Pastorius. Quoi qu'il en soit, tout fan du bassiste n'hésitera pas une seconde à acquérir ce disque par ailleurs recommandable. --Hervé Comte

Rocks, Pebbles and the "Man", Jun 5 2002
By H. Wolfe III - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Rocks Pebbles And Sand (Audio CD)
I thought this album was an interesting transition for Stanley Clarke, because most of it leans towards hard rock rather than jazz fusion. (perhaps he was inspired to do this recording after touring with Keith Richards and the "New Barbarians") Whatever Stanley's inpiration was, it worked! All the cuts are great. My personal favorites are: "Danger Street", "All Hell Broke Loose" (Both great examples of chord playing on the bass) The super funky, "We Supply" (Featuring Louis Johnson) and "The Story of a Man and a Women / A Fool Again" (An interesting and entertaining medley) One thing this album proved about Stanley, is that when you're a virtuoso musician and composer, you can pull off darn near anything. Taking musical risks like "Rocks Pebbles and Sand" and succeeding, undoubtedly helped give him the confidence and ability to eventually become one of the finest film scorers of this generation. He already was considered one of if not the greatest bass player of all time! Stan, thanks for pushing the envelope musically, it truly paid off.

This is a magnificent piece of work!!!!!!!, May 31 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Rocks Pebbles And Sand (Audio CD)
If you want to be introduced to, be picked up, and pleasantly set down, then this album is for you. Funky, real bass playing and some out-of-this-world vocals and a monster rigidity of a serious all points medley, WOW! College in 1981 would have never been complete with out this album, now my children will have the chance to listen and feel and THE BASS!

Stanley Is The Man--And This Album Proves It!, Feb 5 2008
By Johnny Boy "The Record Collector" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Rocks Pebbles And Sand (Audio CD)
Stanley Clarke is arguably the greatest bassist to ever walk the earth. Many people know him for 'School Days,' 'I Wanna Play For You,' and others. But this album, 'Rocks, Pebbles And Sand' is a lot better than what people give it credit for.Yes, Stanley does sing on this record, but his voice isn't terrible. Among the highlights of the record are 'We Supply,' 'Underestimation,' 'Danger Street,' and the 11-minute epic 'The Story of a Man And A Woman.' The album also features the legendary drummer Simon Phillips on drums and percussion.
Yes, this album isn't Stanley's most popular by any means, but it's still very enjoyable. Give this record a chance, because if you give it a listen, chances are you'll like it.
A very nice effort by Stanley. ENJOY!!!
Listmania!
