Negative Positive
Title: The concept and the music are incompatible.......
Review: I'm not exactly sure what made Al feel impelled to enlist Laurence Juber as the producer of this project, but I must say very bluntly that it was a mistake. He cannot shoulder all of the blame however, because Al should have known, via his album Russians and Americans, that theme albums don't always work. Yes, I would have to admit that this work does have a Napa Valley cellar feel to it, but the songs are merely fair. I return to this cd to hear Millie Brown, but all else misses the mark in pacing and appeal.
Is the review positive or negative?
