5.0 out of 5 stars It's getting better and better Bona Fide, March 12, 2002

What a delightful experience to listen this very talented group. Every single tune is a rich combination of harmony and funky rithym that blows your mind. I was really impressed with the first Cd "Royal Function" but this one it has gone beyond. Just simply...It's getting better and better... Bona Fide !

2.0 out of 5 stars too much sax, March 25, 2003

Douglas Cumbow (Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Poe House (Audio CD)

Expecting some things to be similar to the first album, I was a little disappointed upon listening through this album. Almost every track had some kind of saxaphone in it. Sounded more jazzy and not as grooving or funkified as the first. No one song really stood out to me, and in a way it all kind of became a little redundant after awhile...because of too much sax. Hopefully thier next venture will get some of the groove back, with less sax.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Bona Fide, September 25, 2004

The reviewer who said "Too Much Sax" got it right - the others have missed the mark.

Any resemblance to the previous excellent CD "Royal Function" is purely coincidental - the group seems to have changed its core approach - they have traded in their million $ piano and keyboard sound for a cheapskate shrill saxophone sound. why they chose to do this - the only explanation that I can suggest - is they sold out to "commercialism".

This CD does not come close to their outstanding "Royal Function" CD. If they could "revert" back to their lush, gorgeous, piano sound - they could do wonders.

Overall, a very disappointed fan. Hope they can put their "Bona Fide Horns" on the back-bench and put their superstar piano/xylophone/keyboards front and center where they belong.
