5.0 out of 5 stars A rebuttal to a so called "Critic" from a true listener, June 9, 1999

This review is from: The Undiscovered Few (Audio CD)

It has become a real crying shame that in order to become a top rated Guitar player today by the so called "Music Critic" (most of whom have never even picked up an musical instrument or if they have did not become proficient enought and gave up)you have to play and sound like one of the few "Marketable Guitar Players" eg. George Benson, Pat Metheny, John Scofield et all, to earn the "Music Critic" accolades. There are less than ten Guitar Players who can be considered World'Best. Rodney Jones is definitely in that elite group. Having followed Rodneys' career since he was with Dizzy as a teenager I know! You see Rodney can emulate any of the mainstream "Marketable Guitar" players but chooses not too, so much so that George Benson has stated when asked about Rodney Jones' playing said "Rodney can out play me with my own stuff and is probably the most versatile guitar player I have ever ment". All this to say what? When someone comes along with a new innovative sound there are always those who simply don't get it. As Miles said many times when asked about his music, "Let the music speak for it self". I say the same about Rodneys' latest CD, let it speak for it self and it will! One might have too listen to it more than one time (like most "Critics" don't do) to really hear, feel, and understand the spirtual content of whats being said. Belive me if you do you will hear something you've never heard before. It will touch your heart, your soul and your spirt. It will grow on you and each time you listen you will hear something new and more beautiful! As Pat Metheny has said "Jazz should be played loud". Play Rodneys'CD it loud! and you will see what I mean, it speaks for it self.

I came across this CD last year while stumbling through Amazon's new Jazz releases, and noticed this recording. After listening to the samples and reading about Mr. Jones I decided to order it. After my first listen I was completely blown away by the depths and beauty of Jones' guitar playing. I now cannot remove this CD from my changer. Jones, in my view, is probably one of the most promising and complete young guitarist practicing the art form of Jazz today. Pick this one up and get "The Message"(track 8).

5.0 out of 5 stars Undiscovered Genius, April 14, 2000

This CD has to be one of best in recent years. Rodney plays with effortless clarity and precision. He also shows himself to be a most resourceful and creative composer. Its great to see him recording for such a great and historic label like Blue Note. Hopefully, this is just the first of future masterpieces to follow for this under recorded (as a leader) genius.
