The song "Get Here" is a soulful ballad originally written and performed by Brenda Russell in 1 While it achieved moderate R&B chart success, the song gained wider recognition after being covered by Oleta Adams in 1991. Adams' version became a major hit, reaching the Top 5 on both the US and UK charts. The song's lyrics express a longing for someone's return, painting a vivid picture of the journey back with metaphors like crossing a desert and riding in a hot air balloon.
Eric Marienthal's take on "Get Here" differs from the soulful ballad style of Brenda Russell and Oleta Adams. Released in 2012 on his album "It's Love," Marienthal transforms the song into a smooth jazz instrumental piece. His signature saxophone takes center stage, weaving a melody that captures the longing sentiment of the lyrics while showcasing his improvisational skills. The overall mood is likely more relaxed and contemplative compared to the more urgent feel of the vocal versions.
Here's a fun fact about Eric Marienthal: He wasn't always destined for the saxophone! Though a natural talent, his first musical love was actually the drums. He eventually switched to saxophone in high school, and thankfully for jazz fans everywhere, the rest is history!
