4.0 out of 5 stars
Great album, October 2, 2007
This review is from: Blues Bred in the Bone (Audio CD)
Here we see Ray playing in Quintet format. Their is a bluesy New Orleans feel to some of the tracks and other tracks have that typical modern jazz feel but again Ray puts his own innovative touch into his playing. For me however the album felt a bit string heavy, 'guitar, piano and bass'. The guitar playing was very good but the tonal quality of the electric guitar i did'nt care for. Overall the quality of playing is superb and worthy of being in any jazz lovers library.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Ray Anderson's style is so unique and emotional you can feel the music, January 27, 2006
This review is from: Blues Bred in the Bone (Audio CD)
This album has come in and out of my life at different moments when it just seems like the perfect theme. It's just as welcome in the back ground of a party as it is just kicking back by yourself. Each song is different, from heart felt jazz/blues of the first song to a carribean feel and even the beautiful standard at the end makes a well crafted and long lasting experience. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because at times the guitar can be somewhat out of place intentionally and on one song particularly the choppy style could have been toned down to keep the cool flow of the album.
