4.0 out of 5 stars Progressive electric jazz that flows along very smoothly, December 27, 2002

This review is from: Un Poco Loco (Audio CD)

The presence of George Cables electric piano, Chuck Domanico's electric bass, and John Abercrombie's electric guitar defines this set as late 70's fusion. Along with Bobby's elegant vibes and Peter Erskine's progressive drum approach, the preponderance of eclectric instruments produce a controlled dynamic that glides along very smoothly, even as the solos display advanced technique. The title track, one of Bud Powell's greatest bop compositions, sounds perfectly modern with this treatment, as if it were written just today. This excellent set has enough harmonic complexity to satisfy mainstream jazz listeners, yet is refined enough to have appeal to smooth jazz and fusion fans as well. At under 40 minutes, the recording time seems brief by modern standards, as it always seems to end too fast whenever I listen to it.
