Title: Swinging and Groovy !
Product review: If you're expecting to hear Benny's from Heaven and I'm In The Mood for love, you won't get it, and if you're expecting to hear some o.k. vocalist singing Eddie's tunes straight off his CDs, you won't get that either. Instead, hear a great ensemble lead by a brilliant deep voiced dark but swinging vocalist. What's different about this album is that instead of having all lazy tempo Jazz standards or super uptempo bebop, the thing offers a lot of variety and shows a heavy grooving and hard swinging ensemble at ease with themselves and the music. Both the cliches of vocal and organ Jazz are notably absent, as a result you can listen straight through and follow it, but without feeling like youäve heard it all before. The first two tunes are the best on the CD as well as a haunting version of Soft and Furry in which James Spaulding blows some haunting flute !
