Title: a beautiful album
Review: I have only had this album 2 days and I will bet I have already listened to it five or six times.Rudd's musical personality is a paradoxical mix of quirkiness and down-to-earth soul. This is jazz at its most human; the players are playing for the love of the music. You will hear many familiar riffs in very fresh ways. The lyrics are funny and charming. The version of Costello's Almost Blue is a spacy funeral march. The Ellington numbers get the awe inspiring intimacy that Duke always got from his band. How about that track with Sonic Youth?This album will be there when critics and music fans compile their "Best of 2000" lists.
Is the review positive or negative?
