5.0 out of 5 stars Transports you back. To 1974 (thereabouts)., September 6, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Three (Audio CD)

This session was unique in every way, and different from any other BJ album. Here is a darkly cooler (temperature, not style-wise), seriously detached electric-fusion soundtrackish sound that will bring you back to the post-Watergate, pre-disco era. Complete and non-gimmicky from an orchestral and instrumental perspective. Long solos, plenty of chops. Every track is nice, particularly the haunting "Women of Ireland". (After this, Bob tipped over the edge into a much more commercial and predictable sound.) Yes it's dated. Wonderfully so. Trivia fans note: This album served as the soundtrack for the low budget kung fu film, "Bruce Lee: The Man and the Myth".

5.0 out of 5 stars The Charm!, October 3, 2002

By	James R. Prater (Cleveland Tn.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Three (Audio CD)

That's the perfect way to describe Bob James' third contemporary jazz album for CTI. Featured prominently on this CD is fellow labelmate Grover Washington, Jr., guitarist Eric Gale, and bassists Gary King and Will Lee. The CD gets off to a funky start with a very unique version of Rudolf Toombs' "One Mint Julep". It drives HARD! Next, is the plaintive, reggae-infused "Women Of Ireland", displaying Washington's skills on the tin whistle. There is some beautiful orchestral writing from Bob here. "Westchester Lady" is Bob's second most-popular tune, which made this album such a success. Next comes "Storm King", which has been sampled in recent years by New Edition. This tune has been called "stripping music". There is some good synth work here, and a killer solo from Washington here. The easy-going "Jamaica Farewell" closes the CD. The Japanese version has a bonus track attributed to Bob titled "Look Look".

If nothing else, "Storm King" is the highlight of this album. Grover Washington gets down and blows one great unforgettable funky solo. Nuff said.
