Negative Positive
Title: boring and old fashioned
Review: Sorry to disappoint you Scofield fans, but this album gives me a good reason not to start buying his albums. The music is in the era of very early Jimi Hendrix recordings, except of course Hendrix could express himself a hundred times better than Scofield on the guitar. My second thought is that Larry Carlton has played these kinds of sounds producing incredible guitaring, whereas Scofield seems so uncomfortable trying to get through each piece. He sounded like a novice improvising poorly, and didn't seem to really get into the groove of the tunes. In conclusion, either Scofield should not be playing this kind of music or else he is not as good as everyone seems to be telling me. Ritenour, Carlton, Coryell etc would blow Scofield away if they played on this album. Sorry folks.
Is the review positive or negative?
