    Pros: Cracker Jack Musicianship

    Cons: Failed Musical Concept,too much overplaying and alot of formlessness

    'Rocks,Pebbles And Sand' contains two Stanley Clarke classics-the "School Days"-like title song and the heavily funky collaboration with George Duke "We Supply".If you can find those songs on a compilation to gather GET TH...E COMPILATION!!This CD just doesn't work-"Danger Street" is weird heavy metal and the rest of the album doesn't go anywhere-just one endless pyrotechnical progressive rock/jazz-fusion excersise after another.It all sounds overworked.Your welcome to check it out if you love that kind of music.But for those interested in composition and memorability steer clear.

Pro Reviews: Rocks, Pebbles and Sand

  • All Music Guide

    Stanley Clarke, funkmeister and jazz-rock virtuoso, goes headlong into rock and urban contemporary music with a roar and a dual propensity for blazing electric bass slapping and mediocre vocals. Side One of the LP contains the rock, while Side Two concentrates on the funk. Along with Clarke this time is a different band, with Charles Johnson on screaming rock guitar, Steve Bach on keyboards and Simon Phillips on drums, with assorted eclectic guests like former employer Chick Corea, Louis Johnson (then of the Brothers Johnson), and jazzman Victor Feldman. The strongest music, tellingly, is on the instrumental medley "All Hell Broke Loose/Rocks, Pebbles and Sand" near the beginning, where the band sizzles madly and Clarke's riffsmithing is at its ingratiating peak. The most perplexing music is on "The Story of a Man and a Woman," which tries to have it both ways by building an adventurous 11-minute concept piece around...vocals.
