2.0 out of 5 stars neither chart nor buster, worst sound and artwork, October 4, 2007

This review is from: Chartbusters! (Audio CD)

With a team like Scofield, Dr. Smith and White you would expect busting energizing jazzfunk. It is not there. It is tame. Not bad, but not funking good either. It is propably recorded early on a monday morning, without the coffee being served. Automatic playing, no fun.

The sound quality is awfull. Like listening to an AM-radio: was it recorded in the mid 20-ies?? I checked my hifi when I first listened this CD: it is stereo (I guess) but nothing more.
There is one thing even worse: the art design. "Chartbusters"... who the hell is going to buy a CD with this titlle without mentioning the performers??

But Dr. Smith is there, and his playing/sound is a delight and stands out all the other.
