Largely A Cacophonous Yawner

"Well, I was really hoping for a lot better when I ordered this one. Perhaps something a little more melodic. What you get instead with Bosonossa and Other Ballads is mostly a lot of disconnected and discordant noodling.

Although there are a few places where the music shows promise, that promise quickly fades. Its mostly a cacophonous yawner.

I own several other Tomasz Stanko CDs that I greatly enjoy. While this is not entirely without musical merit, I'd not have missed anything if I'd never heard it. If you are new to the music of Tomasz Stanko, steer clear of this unless you are into the sort of jazz here described."
