BIG JAY"S MOST VARIED, April 1, 2001
This review is from: Central Avenue Confidential (Audio CD)
I respect artists who take risks, especially late in their career. Super sax man Big Jay McNeely takes the smoother R&B /Jazz approach on "Central Avenue Confidential" creating the perfect candlelight evening with deep,slower,soulful numbers like "Stranger On The Shore" and "Caravan". Jay's supporting cast compliments him well particularly Red Young on organ and Jay Work's backing saxophone on "Big Jay Shuffle". This is cool late night music for easy listening, good romance and slow dancing. For the McNeely upbeat "Juke Joint' jumping sound look elsewhere.
