Almost no surprises..., March 17, 2003
This review is from: Thats Right (Audio CD)
The music on this album is closer to pop/fusion formula typical of late 80s/early 90s than anything else. Almost no surprises except for few ideas on closing tracks. I would be more pleased to hear more unconventional playing and composing from a great electric bass player. Though this is good music to hear live I cannot really say the CD is worth buying as a vintage item.

"THAT'S RIGHT!" It's Victor, February 5, 2004
This review is from: Thats Right (Audio CD)
I've Been following Mr. Bailey ever since his first solo release "Bottoms Up," and he hasn't disappointed me yet.
Victor's new release "That's Right" contains a few tunes that are stretched too thin with repetition, but for the most part, The album (opps! I mean cd...showing my age!)contains the usual virtuoso musicianship always prevalent on Victor's recordings.
Bailey continues to follow the standard set by one of his idols, Jaco Pastorious, with his powerfully understated playing, not choosing to bang you over the head with heavy-handed solos that overwhelm the listener.
I was also pleasantly surprised to hear one of Jazz/Fusions great sax players, Bennie Maupin, still in fine form on the tracks "Nothing But Net" and "That's Right," while drummer Omar Hakim continues to amaze me with his mastery over the kit.

SUPREME MUSICIAN, January 6, 2006
This review is from: Thats Right (Audio CD)
Victor Bailey is one of the most complete musicians on the planet and this is a burning disk with his great playing and writing. Can't wait for a new effort from him. Watch the Zawinul Sindicate Korg video to further understand Where's Paco ?
