Cristian's versitility is incredible!, May 9, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Maynard Ferguson Presents Christian Jacob (Audio CD)
This album is one for the ages. I generally prefer to listen to large ensemble jazz, but when I bought this CD, I couldn't turn it off! I first heard Christian when he was on Maynard's band and I was absolutely taken back by his virtuousity. Here is one of the nouveau musicians on the scene today that everyone should keep an ear open for. Besides his great techinique on the ivories, his writing and arranging skills are beyond words! Just listen to his absrtact variation on IVE GOT RHYTHM (a featured tune on the album). Its perfect for today's jazz listeners. The balad, HERE'S THAT RAINY DAY is beautifuly done as well. It showcases Christian's versitlity once again through his romantacism on the piano. Snaps also to John and Peter for outstanding bass and drum work. Truely a highlight to the ensemble!
