This is the 9th solo release for Clive Stevens and the 3rd on his Planet 8 Records… THE GREATEST HITS OF MR. X is a celebration of the most exciting tracks from Clive’s illustrious recording career. The funkified, future jazz, electro ambient fusioneer has played with Manfred Mann, The Ananda Project, Larry Coryell, Steve Hackett, Billy Cobham and many more, plus his MILLENNIUM JAMS album was up for an Echo Award in Germany. This eclectic project features Mr. X (Stevens) on lead vocals, saxophones and wind synthesizer playing with world class musicians. Clive has been noted for bringing together some of the most under-exposed yet incredibly talented world music and jazz artists. Perhaps headier than Lounge, Mr. X has created a masterpiece collection of multi-genre that traverses from world jazz to global funk. Dedicated to late jazz legend and innovator, Miles Davis on Planet 8 Records, which is committed to a new generation of progressive International artists for the 21st Century.

Clive Stevens\' new album is an intoxicated blend of jazz,Rock and World music.The Listener will listen to it with bated breath because \'The Greatest Hits Of Mr X\" is not just a new release but is an exciting work of excellent musicians gathering. Each artist brings his own unique colours to the album palette. As a result the sound of this project is very expressive and lush.
The music of the Greatest Hits of Mr X is similar to an album of multi-coloured pictures where each of them tells a particular story. Also,Clive Stevens project is filled with positive feelings and the joy of life and creation.It\'s music goes in various dimensions.
The charming aroma of India\'s music is present in the greatest hits of Mr X. It makes Clive Stevens project bright and at the same time meditative. And his new solo album has one more important feature. This music is very vivid and it conveys real human emotional experiences.
The Greatest Hits of Mr X album is the voice of open hearts. It is a long-awaited meeting with your true friends.

"The Greatest Hits of Mr. X"
author: Charo Yeates
This is a fabulous compilation of Stevens best musical selections. Clive's musical talent seamlessly evolves with the times echoeing his musical evolution --emotionally, intellectually, and technically. Clive's jazz reflects the classical and the rawness of the old and the new vanguards. I'm lucky to have crossed paths with this artist since the early eighties in New York city. Nothing will stop Clive artistic talent as a musician and as a poet. Bravo!
