4.0 out of 5 stars Get your own CAB!, March 12, 2001

Made in USA in 2000, Serial# TC-40072, Playing Time 52:09

I got this because of MacAlpine's solo albums and Dennis Chambers' contributions to some albums by John McLaughlin and Tom Coster.

I wasn't too sure was to expect musically, maybe something like Liquid Tension Experiment.

This albums contains some fabulous performances, a blend of 1/3 rock and 2/3 jazz. Tracks range from about 4 to 7 minutes, so there's room for development without getting free-form and lost in improvisations. Each performer demonstrates his talents, but without trying to bury the other musicians: more like an "exchange" or a 3-part conversation.

Interesting, and worth a careful listen; get your own CAB, this one's already taken!

4.0 out of 5 stars cab, September 17, 2001

This is not smooth jazz. Thank goodness!!!! I went out on a limb in buying this. It was rated 5 stars in Bass Player magazine. It is. So much of the instrumental [stuff] today is mindless soloing with a drumulator and a sequencer, hats off to these three gents. It has a Return to Forever feel, only with a funky edge and great soloing. Dennis and Bunny are top notch, Tony holds his own too. If you are looking at Cab2, the new release, get this one. They lost their edge on the second album. Fusion still lives on this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars pleasant surprise, April 2, 2004

I've always appreciated Tony MacAlpine's neo-classical shredding technique if not the music, so when I chanced upon CAB in a specialist jazz store in the sales I thought why not. I was more than pleasantly surprised as it fairly rocks and grooves in equal measure thanks to Dennis Chambers powerhouse drumming and Brunel's busy basslines. Over this MacAlpine lays down some tasty licks, although sometimes his tone veers towards metal. I recommend this to anyone who likes fusion in as done by Tribal Tech, and Billy Cobham on 'Spectrum'. I'll definitely check out CAB 2 and 4 on the strength of this one.
