Featuring Oakland’s seventies recording group BRIDGE

"Bridge’s CD “Crying for Love” won the record of the year, Blues and Soul Magazines in the United Kingdom in 2001."

Considering the quality of the vocalists, Instrumentalists and songwriters who comprised Bridge, The Oakland/Berkeley, California septet should have been big. Dissension within the group and conflicts with producers doomed the band, which spent four weeks in Boulder, Colorado in 1981 cutting an album for Ilene Burns’ CBS distributed Bang label that never saw the light of day. Now after nearly 20 years in mothballs, comes a collection of the demos that helped the group land the Bang deal. These selections reveal a sophisticated fusion of soul, jazz, rock and latin elements that placed Bridge well ahead of its time.
