5.0 out of 5 stars
Almost a classic, August 11, 2007
This review is from: Petite Blonde (Audio CD)
One of the best albums combining jazz and funk ever. The grooves (by one of the best rhythm sections of the 90s) are infectious, the melodies clear cut and memorable and the improvisations are always inspired without going over the top. What also sets the album apart from many live-recorded albums is that the songs are not stretched out too long and with the excellent audiophile sound you directly forget that this was recorded live. (As I heard it was only recorded live in Europe - to 24 tracks with an audiophile mix being done later in the studio). Saxophonist Bill Evans proved all the qualities that his peers like Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock saw and which led them to hire him as their saxophonist in the 80s - and that he learned a lot from them regarding composition as well.

The band sounds great. Dennis and Vic lock up like crazy and Bill just puts the icing on the cake. Get this record.

Conversations with someone else, July 30, 2009
This review is from: Petite Blonde (Audio CD)
Brilliantly recorded and fiercely performed fusion-esque jazz only suffers from the slightest sounding dated-isms in a captivating live set that borders on consistently invigorating.
