Review from People magazine by R.N.The lyrics are penetrating enough to make you think of Yeats. What made that band sound so good was not so much their deft musical style, but Sting's rasping lead vocals.Still, 'The Dream Of The Blue Turtles' is one remarkably fine album. The most artistically successful of these recent fusions, the jazz-based band Weather Report and the pop group Steely Dan, succeeded in part because they largely eschewed improvisation, swing and the three-chord simplicities of traditional rock in favor of angular riffs and pastel tone poems.Though Sting follows a similar approach, it works only fitfully. "Timeout, 10/87"Jazz musicians are forced to play standards. I think we got enough spontaneity on the record and yet enough discipline to have gone into areas that most pop records don't go.

All the 10 tracks sound as though they were recorded by a small group of musicians playing together at the same time, exploring material undulled by over-familiarity, mixed on to tape more or less as they stood.This, presumably, is what Sting was after when he drew into the project young American jazz musicians of the calibre of Branford Marsalis (saxophones), Darryl Jones (bass), Kenny Kirkland (piano) and Omar Hakim (drums). Performing together both nationally and internationally for over 25 years, Mason & Wallis AKA The Jazz Kings are one of Australia’s finest. In the eyes of some it was the highest folly to leave what was arguably the biggest band in the world at that time.

I wanted to escape that and present a whole plethora of possibilities. Moon Over Bourbon Street appears on Sting's 1985 debut solo album ‘The Dream of the Blue Turtles’. Kirkland pumps out organ chords over Hakim's stomp, while Sting and Marsalis dodge each others' syncopations around the bass line.But except for Shadows, the bluesy 'Consider Me Gone' and an instrumental, 'Blue Turtles', that grafts progressive 1960s jazz onto a Weather Report march, 'The Dream Of The Blue Turtles' is a pop record above all. It manages to transcend the self-centered "solo album" format with every collective breath it takes. I woke up to the sound of Branford in the room upstairs, riffing wildly on his tenor sax, followed by his unmistakeable laughter. Yet there's not a hint of pandering about this album.

Instead, Sting meshes with a jazzy four-man group: drummer Omar Hakim, bassist Darryl Jones, keyboardist Kenny Kirkland and saxophonist Branford Marsalis, whose precisely inspired lyricism carries the album's wealth of mood.Marsalis is a star attraction, certainly, yet the album is no less Sting's triumph. Now he delicately alters the proportions in order to further personalize his solo concept, and the result is a bold "fusion" worth noting. So we shared the royalties. And lovingly, he frees us of the Jungian densities and pathological tilt of the last Police album, 'Synchronicity', and its arch-possessive ballad, 'Every Breath You Take'.On 'The Dream of the Blue Turtles', the Police chief voices a clear, anti-war, global valentine amid a boggling array of polished, passionate yet subtly insinuating tunes.

The man behind this remarkably passionate, thoughtful album is, of course, on leave from the Police. Don’t Get Around Much Anymore. The first album was a new position for me. Like a chemist confident of his materials but unsure how his experiment would turn out, Sting took chances.It worked.For this experimentation he hired saxman Branford Marsalis and keyboardist Kenny Kirkland - both from the ranks of mainstream jazz artist Wynton Marsalis' band.

So with the album I wanted to destroy a lot of preconceptions and expectations, and do something unsettlingly different. On the best material - 'If You Love Somebody Set Them Free', 'Childrens' Crusade', and 'Fortress Around Your Heart' - Sting supplies swing and sophistication without losing the melodic appeal that powers The Police's best work.Unfortunately, that balance is not maintained throughout the album.

For me, the turtles are symbols of the sub-conscious, living under the sea, full of unrealised potential, very Jungian in their meaning.
