Negative Positive
Title: One of the most creative albums of 2000
Review: Don Byron is the man... Who else would put Puccini's 'Nessun Dorma', Sondheim's 'The Ladies Who Lunch' (featuring the amazing Cassandra Wilson), and 'Reach Out (I'll Be There)' by the Four Tops, on the same album?To go further, who would infuse their own style into these pieces to such an extent where they all sound like equal parts in a gigantic musical vein? Don Byron, that's who.The personal highlight is definitely 'It's Over' which former Pat Metheny Group vocalist Mark Ledford handles adeptly.
Is the review positive or negative?
