1.0 out of 5 stars
BEWARE: SYNTHESIZED JAZZ BAND. ZERO STARS, June 3, 2001
This review is from: Golden Petals (Audio CD)
There is no mention on the cover of the CD (and thus, not surprisingly, on Amazon's page) that on the Stravinsky and the Artie Shaw, THE ACCOMPANIMENT IS A SYNTHESIZER intended to sound like a jazz band, but it just sounds awful.
This was a nasty surprise. I've written to the label asking for a refund, because the CD is not (technically) defective and thus I have no cause to blame Amazon.
Amazon allows 1 star as the minimum. I would give this zero stars for false advertising.

Really?...., November 12, 2005
This review is from: Golden Petals (Audio CD)
If you are looking for synthesized music then you have found your album. The "jazz" band that accompanies is all computer and embarrassing. The soloist did some interesting interpretations, and I was not thrilled about his sound. I was looking for a decent recording of the Shaw Concerto and I bought this without reading a single review, and I regret it. I highly recommend the John Bruce Yeh recording of the Shaw Concerto. It is a great recording with a terrific jazz combo and Mr. Yeh has one of the best sounds in the country.
