5.0 out of 5 stars Andy in top form, August 31, 2006

This review is from: Last Dance of Mr X (Audio CD)

This is my all time favorite Andy solo disc. I saw him perform quite a few of these songs live in a small jazz supper club here in Los Angeles, where he would frequently perform in the late 90's. Andy is so charming in person, the kind of performer who comes out and chats with the audience after the set. I've had numerous chats with him about various topics over the years, and it's my feeling that his charm, wit and wicked sense of humor is displayed perfectly on this disc. To see Big Thing, one of my favorites, performed live is a must.

Andy is an accomplished musician, and this release really opened that facet of Summers to me. I like it, it's good, it's jazzy, it's blue, it's happy.... it's just a good release. All the recording guests shine. The percussion/drummers REALLY shine -- BRAVO!!!

Andy Summers is definitely one of the most creative guitarists of all time! He gets better & better with each release, & that is not something you can say of many artists. The Last Dance of Mr. X takes the listener through many moods, like a journey. Tony Levin plays bass on all but one track, & is well suited to Andy's unique style of guitar playing. Greg Bissonette plays drums on most tracks. Only the first song is reserved for Andy's touring band- it is an earlier song of Andy's called "Big Thing"- and the band rips through it live. I even hear a little "Sunshine of Your Love" thrown in for good measure. The cd is half new compositions from Andy, and half Jazz covers. I find myself throwing it in the cd player & listening to it again & again.
