The album contains some finely tuned and emotionally rich vocal arrangements, and since his lyricism has always placed him on the pop side of jazz, the addition of vocals to "Move" push Klugh further in that direction.
Influenced on the acoustic guitar by Chet Atkins, Lenny Breau and later Latin master Laurindo Almeida, he has distilled his own distinctive finger-picking style that combines strong melodic structure with foundational chords and improvisation.
By the age of fifteen, Earl Klugh was already teaching guitar in a Detroit music store.
It was there that jazz giant Yusef Lateef first heard him and subsequently offered him a chance to record. Two years later, Klugh joined guitarist George Benson's band.
Many albums later, Klugh has been involved with projects that have captured numerous number one spots on jazz radio and retail charts.
After two mainstream jazz excursions, Klugh has made a surprising and unexpected "Move". He describes it this way, "I wanted to have a sound and to do something very different than anything I had ever done before. At first, I thought it might be a strange thing to integrate vocals but having vocals, a live band, acoustic guitar with the synthesizers, I found gave the music more of a human touch, more depth and emotion."
