5.0 out of 5 stars Innovative, refreshing jazz/rock fusion--unique!, September 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Entrance (Audio CD)

After over 35 years of music collecting, I still see only one "Entrance." Edgar and brother Johnny collaborate on an explosion of unforgettably delectable fusion ideas, brought to life with a dead aim that's still fresh today. Side 1 comprises a suite that meshes and melds to perfection. Side 2 includes standalone tunes, including "Tobacco Road," the only one I ever heard played on the radio (a pathetic shame...). If you love and appreciate good composition, you'll be amazed at the torrent of fluid music that holds Entrance together. One of my top 100 of all time, and definitely an unknown gem. At Amazon's low price, there's no reason NOT to own it!

5.0 out of 5 stars obscure,but the finest, August 9, 2003

Long ago, I was a Johnny Winter fan, and listened to this album because it was his brother...It wasn't rock and roll, but for some reason I REALLY liked it..as I aged, and my tastes turned to jazz, this remained as one of my most prized collections.The performances are flawless, the studio mixing is superb, the tunes are well-written...I can't say enough for this album.
There are very few things you'l buy that will still make the hairs stand up on your neck 30 years later, but this is one...there are no bad tunes here, and it should be a part of everyone's collection that appreciates well-written, well-executed, well-mixed jazz/rock music of this type....it's hard to beat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning Debut, March 30, 2002

This review is from: Entrance (Audio CD)

Edgar's first album is still one of his best. His extraordinary voice, his energetic sax and keyboard playing are all heard to great advantage here. The strong jazz infuence may come as a surprise to those who only know him from "Free Ride" and later but it's a style that he is obviously quite at home in. The best part of this record is remarkable compositional talent that Edgar displayed at such a young age. Everything about this record is first rate and even though I'm a fan of most everything he's done, this is still my favorite Edgar Winter recording of all time. Just buy it!
