CD Reviews

Ouch! It ain't that bad!

Dean Monti | 09/25/2008

(3 out of 5 stars)

"I'd agree, this album is not Crosswinds, although this CD does contain a nice, different take on that tune. But this is not the 1970s. And this is not a one-star release. Victor Bailey (from Weather Report) on bass -- his contributions alone add some stars to this.

Do I like my jazz a little edgier? Sure. Is there some filler here? Perhaps. The addition of steel drums could have easily allowed it to veer into that "lite jazz" sound, but it never does, and never to the point where you want to turn it off. It's laid back stuff but pretty good laid back stuff at that. And there are some good uptempo tunes as well, where Billy shows off his formidable chops. Check out the samples here. You might like this one after all, folks."
