Title: Exciting, Live and Energetic
Product review: When I was lucky enough to come across this album I was in a playful mood, and so despite primarily being a horn player I decided to broaden my scope, and am I glad I did!From a sax player perspective, this album is a welcome opportunity to hear two great Tenor's duke it out - Michael Brecker and Bob Mintzer. The best is that the sum is even better than the parts: both play energetically and tastefully off the other.I personally found the quality of the album variable from a sound perspective - it is, after all, a live performance. However, unless you are a complete sound snob, it is easy to get past this and appreciate a glimpse at what it must have actually been like to be there. However, while the quality of the recording is very high given the setting, if you want perfect studio production, this isn't it.If you like Jaco, you probably already own this; if you like Brecker/Mintzer, this is a must have. The Chicken and Invitation alone are worth the price of the album.
