Title: Disappointing technically and in content
Product review: I've been a fan of MT for some 30 years, both collectively, and a fan of Janis' solo work. I've enjoyed most of their forays into jazz over the years, but I really didn't connect as well with the "Swing" and "St Louis" albums. I found the arrangements too "busy" and just occasionally noise for noise sake. This live album reinforces my feelings concerning their recent musical directions. I found it basically unpleasant to listen to because of poor sound, and the arrangements, with a couple of exceptions. Overall, a disappointing effort technically, and this is one listener they have left behind over the past five years.There's nothing "wrong" with what they are singing these days...I just find a lot of it too showy, and un-musical. just an opinion from a former fan who will await Janis' next solo work, and maybe something new from Keely Smith.I mean, "Gone Fishin?" What a five minute exercise in boredom!
