NIET MEER LEVERBAAR !

Born on the British Virgin island of Tortola in 1942, two-time Grammy
Nominee JON LUCIEN, grew up playing in his fathers Latin band. In
1961 he relocated to New York.

· After years of struggling playing the wedding circuit, a chance
encounter in 1969 with an RCA executive gave JON LUCIEN the
opportunity to audition, the result being 3 albums released on RCA
Records followed by 2 albums on Columbia Records, including SONG
FOR MY LADY now lovingly re-mastered by BBR.

· In the past, his smooth baritone voice drew comparisons to greats
like Nat King Cole and Lou Rawls, but during almost 30 years of
recording and performing, JON LUCIEN cultivated a unique and rich
romantic sound all of his own which was difficult to classify but would
later became know as Smooth Jazz or more interestingly, Quiet
Storm which helps to give an idea of the underlying intensity in JON
LUCIEN’S work.

· With the rise of Acid Jazz in Britain embracing smooth jazz-soul
artists like JON LUCIEN, his work was sampled and remixed by a
whole new generation of performers and producers which led to his
earliest albums becoming cult classics and highly sought after by
collectors and dealers, sometimes changing hands for obscene
amounts of money.

· BBR is very proud to present this newly re-mastered edition of SONG
FOR MY LADY, accompanied by extensive liner notes featuring an
interview with Delesa Lucien, widow of the late Jon Lucien, and all
original artwork with added bonus content.
