4.0 out of 5 stars From a jazz musician's perspective, August 11, 2005

I'm a jazz musician as well as the manager for a female-fronted rock band in Los Angeles. I can understand the direction G-Clef took with this project. Many bands will take material from another genre and adapt it to theirs, a la The Section Quartet, Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies, etc. I've never quite heard a rock album adapted to jazz and I can appreciate what G-Clef has done. It's not easy! I actually enjoy listening to the tracks on this album and as a saxophonist, I can very much appreciate the playing on this album as being excellent. The musicianship is great, although I believe the production is lacking just a bit. Overall, I think music geeks (like myself) and the general public would be able to find something they like about this album.

If you are a lover of both jazz and Evanescence, then I bet you will find these solid jazz interpretations right up your tin-pan alley. The work here is done, for the most part, by a highly competent jazz trio and they rework these songs with alot of passion, They seem to have a keen understanding of what made the songs good in the first place. Some of the results are quite stunning and sometimes even beautiful; others fall flat or, at best, seem a bit contrived in origin. Overall though I give this compilation 5 stars. I really like the stripped down, pedal-to-the-metal sax, bass and guitar interludes that make up most of the production. I keep playing this album over and over. G-Cleff hooked me because they rock in a jazzy and very hip way;)

5.0 out of 5 stars A Highly Creative Tribute Indeed!, March 28, 2006

I heard this from Itunes and then i bought it from amazon and I have to say it's brilliant work, and always soothes my mood when I put this on. G-clef is apparently a well-respected sax player and it shows. This album was not at all a parody, but a very well executed attempt to play the music of an entirely over produced rock/pop band by only three acoustic instruments, and whats more it sounds awesome! G-Clef's sax playing sounds much like a voice as he soars through the melodies.
