Title: Quirky Packaging but a Keeper. Review: This is one of those strange, offbeat European releases--who knows where they got the tape? The major two quirks about the CD are the title (since "No Greater Love," a tune Sonny often performed, is not on the album) and the sound of Eddie Lockjaw Davis' unmistakable tenor sax on two of the tunes ("LAX" and "Four"). Besides the unannounced Lockjaw, an unidentified trumpet player solos on the aforementioned cuts.As for the music, it's fine late Stitt and characteristically heated Lockjaw. The trumpet player's presence is minimally felt (possibly Harry Sweets Edison, since one of the tunes is a Sweets' original). The rhythm section is on fire the whole way (few drummers swing like Duffy Jackson; few piano players can match Eddie Higgins' chops and ideas). The sound is very "present," capturing the ambience of live performance but also balancing the instruments very tastefully.At the right price, this one is definitely a keeper.

Title: What's the point? Review: I was very interested in reading "Palladian Days", after seeing the Gables written up in a magazine. Their very interesting and unusual story certainly deserved to be featured in a book. Although the story of their life in this magnificent home held my interest, I was very, very disappointed that Mrs. Gable chose to use her book as a forum to air quite a condescending attitude toward the former owners. This was not alluded to once, or even twice, but was a sub-theme throughout the book. What is the point of this? It came across arrogant, superior, and frankly, rather than siding with Mrs. Gable, I wondered what about her as person would cause her to stoop to such a low level. None of her readers care about hearing her shovel the dirt, but she made a point of highlighting it repeatedly nonetheless. Not too classy, and certainly a huge detraction from an otherwise good story. All I wondered at the end was, "What is her agenda????" Does this product review convey a negative or positive sentiment?

Title: Don't Walk, Run Away from this tool. Tool? Review: As an avid do-it yourselfer, engineer and construction professional I can honestly say this is the WORST tool I ever purchased. You would be better off to donate the money you would spend on this piece of junk to your favorite charity. I used it on one project 5 years ago and it was a pain (had to manually recalibrate). It sat in the cupboard since. I pulled it out to give it another try and it would not come close to self level, nor could it be re-calibrated. RUN RUN RUN AWAY!50% of the people are completely DIS-satisfied (1 star). What does that tell you? Does this product review convey a negative or positive sentiment?
