Great Band...,
By
This review is from: Live at the Village Vanguard (Audio CD)
This is a great, great disc. This was actually my introduction to Mr Harrell's incredible trumpet/flugelhorn playing. He is lyrical, probing, and melodic. The duet of "Everything Happens to Me" is a great example of his subtle lyricism. He has you dangling from one note to the next. Up tempo tunes to ballads his sense of rhythm and song is impeccable. His band is the same... Xavier Davis on piano and Jimmy Greene on Tenor are particularly commendable. Original tunes are snappy and even hummable... Tom Harrell is not a master technician, but he does make every note count and you'll find yourself anticipating the next note or phrase. The band members are really familiar with each other's playing and they are caught in fine form here...

PERHAPS YOU HAD TO BE THERE,
By Crabby Apple Mick Lee (INDIANAPOLIS, IN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Live at the Village Vanguard (Audio CD)
There is something about the recording of this night that sucks much of the life out of this CD. I suspect the actual live performance was much more exciting to listen to. As it stands, this is an "average" CD with the exceptions of "Asia Minor", "Where The Rain Begins" and "Party Song" interesting enough to recommend. This is too bad because after hearing so much about Tom Harrell I was wanting to like this much more. Maybe next time.
