Title: I Was Expecting Much More...
Review: I was expecting much more from an album with a title called Masada.To me, this is mix of big band disco, a touch of funk and perhaps a shot ofjazz. Even though some mifght call this "Fusion", it definitely ain't my idea ofwhat Fusion means. It's Joe blowing his horn in spots with heavy strings andblaring horns backing him up. Most certainly cuts like "Poinciana", "GeminiFlyin' High" & the title cut would not have been out of place in some 70s'disco palaces. "Let's Love" is a slow groover which Ohio Player fans willfind familiar. A taste of Soul-Funk can be found in "I'm Gone And I'm Glad" butit's nothing to get excited over. At best this is an average album in all theplaces that really matter. Whoever dared to make a comparison between this catThomas and Grover must've had a problem with his hearing aid. Mr. Washingtonhas nothing to worry about from Mr. Thomas, at least not from anything on thisalbum; and believe me, I'm not trying to be cruel.
