Title: Misfire
Review: The Great Artist Now Departed produced perhaps 20 masterpiece albums and 20 excellent ones. This is not among them. Sappy songs of an off-day, sketchily arranged as compared with his best. Hard to follow even though knew some from elsewhere, and I will swear he did a few much better among the 40 albums of great value. Almost fell asleep, strained brain trying to follow down mud-laden pathways going nowhere musically. Apparently anything with William Tritt Piano featured--like others with this problem with these forces and label--had to be done off the normal mode of performance, perhaps for a slow-witted hayseed benefactor? Less than the sum of its parts, played with mechanical feel in off-center tempos.
