Negative Positive
Title: Wow
Review: I received this album from a fellow jazz musician now playing in Shanghai, & while my expectations were not that great, boy was I in for a surprise! Francesco Cafiso, now 23, was, in my opinion, another Paul Desmond. I'm not impressed by the fact that he was an accomplished alto man at an early age. Most great jazz musicians usually are.I'm going to keep this short, & just tell you that what impressed me most was the maturity he showed in his handling of a ballad. In the business of jazz we say that "anyone can learn to play fast, but it's the ballads that separate the men from the boys." I was most taken by his work on "Polka Dots and Moonbeams." His handling of "My Old Flame" was absolutely gorgeous as well.If you are a sax lover, you'll find that there is MUCH on this album to love. I recommend it very highly.
