Review

Muzik (2/97, p.93) - 10 out of 10 - "...a consummate pot-pourri of seasoned jazz, soul, house, r&b, Latin and funk for every generation. A soundtrack for any time of the day....gasp at the bottomless talent of the production duo who are, truly, Masters At Work."
JazzTimes (10/97, p.85) - "...an ambitious concept to be sure....that the project draws the diverse strands of club culture into a seamless whole is, to say the least, impressive..."
Vibe (3/97, p.142) - "...Somehow, all this diverse talent and music manages to come together into one beautiful whole..."

"Little" Louie Vega and Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez, the duo who collaborate as the Masters At Work production team and are the musical guides for NUYORICAN SOUL have made a career out of pollinating dance floors with funky sounds for nearly two decades. Funk, jazz, house, R&B, hip-hop and a slew of Afro-Latin-scented rhythms are just some of the ingredients in their clubland stew, and their ability to consistently move the crowd is the chief reason the two have long thrived as DJs and producer on both sides of the Atlantic.

Jazzy improv is at the heart of all the tracks, whether on the pure around-the-horn solo spotlights handed out to Tito Puente's all-star ensemble ("MAW Latin Blues"), in George Benson's guitar-vocal interplay ("You Can Do It"), or with Roy Ayers running his vibes all around a funky house beat ("Sweet Tears"). Jocelyn Brown brings diva flair to the psychedelic trip-hop of "I Am The Black God of the Sun," and the pure disco of India's "Runaway" breaks down into a sort of Philly Soul dub. NUYORICAN SOUL is dance music that sets a challenge for both the butt and the mind, just like George Clinton said it should.
