Title: Warren Sr.'s band provides a gem for trad-jazz lovers
Product review: This is Warren Vache Sr. again, the bassist (not to be confused with his son, Warren Vache the trumpeter/cornetist). It's the band's second recording, but their first on the Jazzology label. If you like traditional jazz, you'll like this. It's that simple. There's some fine playing here, absolutely. Nothing really wrong with it. So why didn't I give it five stars instead of four?? Because there's a wee bit of oomph or something else I can't put my finger on missing that just doesn't take it all the way up to the Louis Armstrong or Sidney Bechet level. On the bright side, there's a very slowed-down, bluesy take of Jada, the likes of which I've never heard before for that tune. It's a nice surprise on an otherwise really good but ever-so-slightly predictable album. Enjoy.
