Eddie Bullen - Desert Rain
O's Notes: This is a set of tunes for chilling all written by pianist Eddie Bullen. “Good Lookin’ Out” has a funky beat with a romantic melody courtesy of Alex Walker’s sax, one of several hits with Walker. We also liked the mild rump shaker “Farimah” with shaded vocals from Shelly-Ann James and Jason Simmons’ lush vocals on “Every Little Thing”. Eddie is a new man on the scene but with recordings like this one, he’ll be around for a while!

"Thank you for sending on this C.D (Desert Rain). This is an excellent recording from start to finish. Smooth Jazz at is best, easy to listen to but nontheless subtle on several of the tracks. Good melodic content sets an excellent mood scene and the arrangements and playing are of top quality. I was highly impressed with the playing of Mr Bullen's 12 year old son on the last track, surely a Jazz prodigy in the making, no need to guess who he is named after! Several tracks will be featuring on my next programme on K.C.R. Well done to all concerned. Best Wishes"

Toronto Sun
"...FROM THE START, Eddie Bullen on the keyboard, Thursday night Sudbury House, fascinated his audience with his imaginative solos, and his well varied original compositions..."
- Adrian Blackman, Toronto Sun

New York Daily News
"...The album is a tasteful contemporary jazz work, flavoured with Caribbean and Latin rhythms. From the funky "416", the album's opening cut, to the smooth and melodic "Moonraker", the CD is as smooth and potent as a Caribbean cream liquor..."
-Jared McCallister, New York Daily News

Grenada Spice Jazz Festival
"...Eddie Bullen played keyboards and sang his own compositions, many of which found on his CD "Nocturnal Affair". Such passion as Eddie displayed is hard to describe. We were transported by his music to the place of our dreams, where our secrets lie, where our wishes come true..."
- Susie Studdart Spice Island Jazz Festival

The Caribbean
...He is one of that remarkable generation of Canadian music producers who have seemingly arrived from nowhere causing Toronto's Urban style music to become fashionable and newsworthy...The idea is to get the best out of the artist's ability and create a sound which helps to give an identity that make him or her perfect says Toronto music producer Eddie Bullen..."
- Dave Douglas, The Caribbean
