4.0 out of 5 stars Pink Elephant Magic; Joanne Brackeen, July 18, 2004

Normally, I don't rate albums, however the ratings for this album are totally misleading. If you comment on an album (and relevant comments!), then please give it a rating! This is a solid 4.5-star album. The musicianship is tight, the playing is stellar - sounds like they had fun playing together. How can you miss with Patitucci, Liebman, Payton, Potter and then, of course, Joanne Brackeen! This is the first album of hers that I've heard, but I'd love to hear more. If you like McCoy Tyner or Fred Hersch, or great jazz piano in general, then GET THIS!

Remember when jazz was upbeat party music? No, you probably don't, because after almost 50 years of spreading the fun, jazz started to change in the late 1940s, changed by overseriousness and a separation from its dance roots. No wonder it was so easy for rock 'n' roll to slip in and take over. What's all this got to do with this CD? JoAnne's playing a lot of upbeat, rollicking tunes that make you want to party, make you want to have fun. My apologies to the Jazz Gods for my use of such tasteless terms as "party" and "fun."
