Dave Valentin – Mind Time – Vinyl Record

Mind Time by Dave Valentin is an album that showcases the renowned flutist\’s blend of Latin jazz, fusion, and smooth jazz elements. Released in 1987, this album captures Valentin\’s virtuosity and innovation on the flute, backed by a stellar lineup of musicians.

The album features a collection of tracks that combine energetic Latin rhythms with the smooth, melodic contours of jazz. Valentin, known for his ability to infuse his music with both technical prowess and soulful expression, creates a sound that is at once sophisticated and accessible. Mind Time explores various moods and styles, from upbeat danceable numbers to more contemplative pieces, all unified by Valentin\’s expressive flute playing.

Tracks like \”Feel Like Jazz\” stand out for their infectious rhythms and catchy melodies, while others may delve into smoother, more atmospheric jazz territories, showcasing his range as a musician. The album would appeal to fans of Latin jazz and those who appreciate a fusion of traditional and contemporary jazz influences, all centered around the flute\’s unique timbre and possibilities.

Dave Valentin, who has recorded over 15 albums for GRP, combines together the influence of pop, R&B, and Brazilian music with Latin jazz to create a slick and accessible form of crossover jazz. At age nine, Valentin enjoyed playing bongos and congas. He gigged at Latin clubs in New York from age 12 and it was not until he was 18 that he seriously started studying flute. Valentin\’s teacher, Hubert Laws, suggested that he not double on saxophone because of his attractive sound on the flute.

In 1977, he made his recording debut with Ricardo Marrero\’s group and he was also on a Noel Pointer album. Discovered by Dave Grusin and Larry Rosen, Valentin was the first artist signed to GRP and he has been a popular attraction ever since. Since the mid-2000\’s, Valentin has been signed to Highnote Records releasing World On A String in 2005 and Come Fly With Me in 2006.
