Title: Sound and fury signifying nothing
Review: When this was released I rushed out and bought it sound unheard. With those players how could it be other than excellent I reasoned. Now the truth of the matter is that this CD is almost uniformly dreadful. The actual playing technique is obviously first class but the music itself is atrocious. This sort of stuff is the reason why so many listeners have deserted jazz. I defy anyone to hum even a single bar from this collection. Honestly I think it contains one of the worst set of "tunes" (and I use the term loosely) released for years. I have a comprehensive jazz collection covering all the bases from ancient to modern but I am quite certain that this CD should never have been released. What were they all thinking? To hear actual music as opposed to this sort of contrived rubbish check out Herbie, Mike Brecker et al from Massey Hall or the Wayne Shorter live set "Footprints".
