Title: Milquetoast
Review: Coming at you from the land of Soymilk Lattes, Yoga Retreats, and aromatherapy,this album is a testament to all things mediocre. It is way overproduced, over-hyped, and image driven. It reminds me of Westport, CT and yuppie, watered-down culture. I think firstly, the guy needs to get his mug off the CD cover. Real jazz musicians like Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald had to rely on actual talent to sell their music. They would never make it in todays market, and this guy is a posterchild for all that is corrupt and wrong with it. His sound is so artificial, I think it might cause cancer. He brings nothing to the table. That lag-behind-the-beat technique doesn't impress me. It's the Berklee/Suzuki method of "swing" which I've heard ad nauseum.
