Negative Positive
Title: Fine if You Need a VERY Mellow Mood.
Review: If three and 1/2 stars were an available option, that's how I would rate this. The upgrade from three to four is due to the fact that the album is far more likeable than not. I've read the other reviews and have to agree to some extent with ALL of them. "Nocturn" is beautiful and beautifully played by everyone in the group, has too little variety and can become boring. It sets a certain mood perfectly and evokes an elegant, slightly decadent time that is long past. I've never been a 'mood music' user, but if mood music or dinner music is called for, nothing could possibly be better. Familiar with Haden's work since his days with Ornette Coleman and Don Cherry, but preferring his "Haunted Heart", I can't fault him for continuing to do different things. Just don't listen to it too often and you will enjoy owning it. I've given it as gifts, and everyone says they like it.
Is the review positive or negative?
