Title: Recommended for fans
Product review: It's still hard to compare later recordings with some of Freeman's earliest works, but "Life in the Tropics" certainly is one of the best Rippingtons albums in quite some time. Fans of the group will love it.After some final tepid recordings for the GRP label in the mid 90s, the group rebounded with inspired albums for Windham Hill before really picking up steam with this Concord work. Although a winter release - and worthy of year-round play - it certainly exudes a summertime flavor. Highly recommended for contemporary jazz fans.
