Synopsis

Amazon.com
A fast, fluid, fun, and out-of-the-box jazz/fusion exploration, Time Crunch features the immense talents of bassist Billy Sheehan (Mr. Big, Talas, David Lee Roth), keyboardist John Novello (Chick Corea, Andy Summers), and drummer Dennis Chambers (George Clinton, Stanley Clarke). Their pedigrees are as impressive as the intricate instrumental odyssey they travel though as Niacin. The triumvirate's fifth outing is full of rich, jazzy, classic-rock-influenced explorations that also have sensual and sonorous sides. Fans of progressive rock will enjoy the covers of King Crimson's moody, ominous "Red" and Jan Hammer's elaborate and memorable "Blue Wind." With the exception of the gentle and reflective "Glow" (which is dedicated to Novello's late wife), the disc's 11 intense and impressive tracks possess a sense of fun and lightness that won't scare off jazz newbies. --Katherine Turman

CD Reviews

Incredible!
Douglas R. Dickeson | Lincoln, NE USA | 09/25/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Let me start out saying that I'm a guitarist, and it doesn't bother me in the least that there's no guitar on this!



I'd heard of Niacin, but didn't really bother to listen to them until I'd read an interview in Keyboard Player magazine. Once I heard some samples, I was hooked.



The influences of ELP, Yes, King Crimson, Mahavishnu, RTF, etc. are obvious, but these boys go way beyond imitation. If you like Progressive Rock or Fusion Jazz even slightly, this is the CD for you!"
