CD Reviews

Tony Allen's best album!

F. Lawrence Doty | N. Calif | 03/13/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"There is always something magical for the performers and for the audience at a 'well-done' live performance of music. A gestalt, if-you-will, or, a-whole-is-greater-than-the-sum-of-it's-parts takes place and you may luck out and get to hear the best that the performers know how to deliver. This album is a compilation of several of those 'best ever' musical deliverances. Audiences in Europe, Canada, and South America are obviously attuned to this performer, and love him...and he gives them exactly what they want. The rhythms and grooves will pull you in!"
