Title: OK I'll go first
Review: Can't believe no one has rated this album yet.George is a fixture of the Chicago jazz scene, and although this is not his first album, it's his first straight jazz album. (Full disclosure: I went to the record release party and have met the band)George has a lyrical guitar style unlike anything I am familiar with. Like they say, it's the notes you don't play. Little surprises like dropping a "tropical heat wave" quote in the middle of "Brazil" keep you smiling.Being a huge organ fan (no jokes, please) I particularly like the Hammond B3 backing on this album.The few vocal tracks don't really seem necessary, but add a bit of variety to the album.
Is the review positive or negative?
