5.0 out of 5 stars Near Perfect, July 28, 2009

Retro Guy (Roanoke VA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kind of Brown (Audio CD)

Start to finish this is a shiney production of straight ahead bop. Its consistency is excellent. No tune is a let down. Those who prefer smooth or commercial jazz will be out of their element. I am reluctant to call this music throw back but it does draw from the best of the 50s and 60s.

This may be the best jazz I have bought this year. Procure this CD and enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Do Not Let the Title Put You Off!, July 26, 2009

Mark A. Wellman (Plaucheville, LA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Kind of Brown (Audio CD)

No, it is not a remake of Miles Davis's Kind of Blue. It is top notch modern jazz by a group of great musicians. The songwriting is solid, and the recording sounds very good. I highly recommend this CD.

Christian McBride records another masterpiece of moderized mainstream jazz, paying homage to the likes of Ray Brown, Sam Jones and Paul Chambers. Beautifully done!
