Ginseng Woman - Eric Gale - LP - Pre Owned Vinyl (Arrives in 14days)

Eric Gale’s 1977 album, Ginseng Woman, is a quietly dazzling showcase of the guitarist’s singular voice in jazz. A cornerstone of the late-70s CTI sound, this record is a masterclass in subtlety and groove, blending jazz sophistication with elements of soul and R&B. Gale, whose session work graced countless legendary recordings, steps into the spotlight here, surrounding himself with a dream lineup—Steve Gadd, Richard Tee, and Ralph MacDonald, to name a few. The album’s title track coasts on a supple groove, with Gale’s guitar lines weaving effortlessly through lush arrangements. Each track reveals a different shade of his artistry, from the breezy optimism of "Red Ground" to the mellow introspection of "East End, West End." Ginseng Woman captures a rare balance: technically impressive yet deeply inviting, it’s an album that rewards both attentive listening and relaxed enjoyment. For collectors, this LP isn’t just another jazz fusion artifact—it’s a testament to Gale’s understated influence on an era, and it remains a warm, soulful listen that feels as fresh today as it did in 1977.
