4.0 out of 5 stars
I Like This CD!,
By The Bobster (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Jazzin the Blues (Audio CD)
Having seen Edgar Winter this summer at an outdoor festival, I was quite impressed with the chops he has maintained and the high level of musicianship that accompanies his act. He hasn't aged a bit, still sings like he was in his 20's and blows a mean sax and plays a meaner keyboard set up. This album is what I've preferred during my Edgar listening years -- more of the R&B, white trash style. Granted, it's toned down quite a bit with a jazzier influence, but it makes for a very good listening experience. Superb mix, great vocals, and some crazy renditions of his old hits, plus some very tasty new tunes. Probably what stands out the most to me, however, is his organ playing. He's got the keyboards dialed in to sound like a very meaty B-3 and the chord arrangements are sweet indeed. Great guest artists, including his current band line up which are super players. It's not very often you can get a album that not only has great vocals, great rhythm, great arrangements, a wide selection of tunes (fast, slow, funk, blues, soul, smooth, old swing band), a great mix, and great musicians --- all together mixed up in a basket of jazz -- Edgar style.

Fair,
This review is from: Jazzin the Blues (Audio CD)
Three or four stars? I gave this cd 3 stars because it is fair at best.Edgar Winter is a kick-ass RB man / Rocker not jazzman!If Jazzin the Blues was more like Entrance or Jasmine Nightdreams this CD would be 5 stars!But it is not.I still dream of a reunion of the White Trash Band with LaCroix,Smith,Derringer and the rest. It could be a new CD or how about a double "LIVE" CD.I can dream can't I!I have admiration for Edgar Winter and have heard him live on 3 occasions....outstanding sax,keyboards and vocals , but please Edgar go back to what you do best.Kick-ass RB / Rocker!

Been a fan for a long time, but...,

This review is from: Jazzin the Blues (Audio CD)
...this is the album I've wanted Edgar Winter to make since I heard Entrance and White Trash! Absolutely terrific songwriting--think Mose Alison combined with someone more personal like Joni Mitchell. Clever lyrics don't distract from the [...]-kicking playing. I don't dig the second track, which is a bit smooth for me--but beyond tyat, there isn't a false note on the album.
