The roots of STINK, December 16, 2006
This review is from: Big Band Leaders: Roots of Swing (Audio CD)
Not only is BIG BAND LEADERS * THE ROOTS OF SWING stereo re-recordings of great old big band tunes, but the musicians on this unfortunate CD sound as if they've either lost their playing abilities or never had them to begin with. I haven't seen so many clams since the last time I was at Howard Johnson's. All songs here are in the key of D minus.
This LEGACY (take note of that label) "product" has succeeded in destroying the real legacy of a fine music form. Shrill, harsh, pathetic and other such adjectives don't begin to describe the disaster that is THE ROOTS OF SWING - it should be avoided by all but the most serious of masochists. Feh.
