Title: Smooth Jazz Killed the Yellowjackets
Review: To call this disk "The Best of the Yellowjackets" is a joke. Absent are the great early tunes like the title track from Greenhouse; in fact, there are NO tunes on this CD from Greenhouse, The Spin, or Four Corners. What the heck happened to this band, with their interesting phrasing and intricate compositions? What happened to the great sax? WHAT HAPPENED?! Thank God I have their earlier work on cassette. I cannot even find the CDs now. They must be out of print. At any rate, do NOT waste your money on this CD. I just bought the disk today and it is bound for the nearest used record store as soon as I have time to unload it. This band totally sold out to so-called smooth jazz (a misnomer for yuppie elevator muzak) and it simply is not worth the money. How sad. At this point, my only hope is that they've disbanded. The last thing we need is another smooth jazz group. Yellowjackets, R.I.P.
