4.0 out of 5 stars
definately five star album, but a four for me,

This review is from: Up From The Skies, Music of Jim McNeely (Audio CD)
I like the whole album. The VJO is superb as always. My favorites are the first two tunes. The treatment of the Hendrix tune is too cool for words. And the second chart is a GREAT example of how McNeely's charts can slip in and out of being super complex vs jamming on a groove. Wonderful writing and arranging. I only gave four starts in that I was hoping for more of a divergence from the last Vanguard album's 'sound'. The album on it's own is a definate FIVE.

Caught these guys at the Vanguard in June '07, and heard enough from this Grammy-nominated disc that I immediately ordered one. Killer ensemble playing, blowing, and amazing charts by pianist/arranger McNeely. Endless rhythmic and harmonic intrigue. Highly recommended.

Mister McNeely pays Hendrix with a great Jazz Orchestra and it's really magic
