Background on this eBay item -

LAST ONE!!

DAVID MANLEY is a name that many audiophiles should recognize. As the founder of VTL he designed and built some wonderful electronics over the years. Many of you will recognize his last name since many highly regarded tube amps and preamps today, sport the MANLEY banner.

Similar to other high end manufacturers like Mark Levinson, David Manley wasn't satisfied with the music software being produced by the large LP and CD companies. As such, he started manufacturing his own brand of software as well! Manufactured to the highest possible levels, the VTL CDs and LPs are highly regarded by audiophiles around the globe, especially for their typically wonderful sound.

Unfortunately the VTL software has been out of print for some time and very difficult to locate.

If you haven't done so already, give a few of the VTL Recordings a spin, you won't be sorry!

How do you define Sekou Bunch as a musician? Obviously, he is an electric bass-player of extraordinary talent. To my ears it goes further than that: he is simply the best I've ever heard. On many of the cuts on this LP Sekou plays the Tenor-Bass melody with the pyrotechnical skill that will be admired by the most accomplished guitarists! Further yet the man writes some lovely tunes; and further still he is a cool, calm and collected musical director who never loses his head, even under the most musically trying circumstances. It is getting late at night (read early morning), some of the best are battling... but Sekou never misses a beat (or a solo-trick), never loses his smile of sheer musical enjoyment; he uplifts and inspires everybody to give of their best and they respond...

(With this LP) you hold the results of their collective talents in your hands now. Sekou molded his repertoire around some of the most interesting (and diverse) players around California and demonstrated a whole palette of sound-colors in his arrangements.

Trumpeter Tom Browne chose Sekou for his Gold album "Funkin' for Jamaica" (and as co-writer on the hit single "Thighs High").

Anita Baker selected Sekou fro her Platinum album "Givin' You The Best That I Got".

He has toured the world with Melba Moore, Tom Browne, Phyllis Hyman, Dave Grusin, Jocylyn Brown, Freddie Hubbard, Dayton, Randy Crawford, Bernard Wright, George Duke, Anita Baker and Sheena Easton...
