Title: West Coast - Forever C-O-O-L!
Review: OK, so this album (whoops - gave my age away there...sorry, CD) is dated. So what? Some things are forever relevant and enjoyable, whether dated or not. I bought this album back in the 50's, lost it somewhere along the line, and have just discovered it's out on CD. My advice to any jazz fan is to BUY IT! There's not a better example of original West Coast Cool out there. The arrangements are interesting and varied... the section and solo work fabulous. My only (tiny) objection is that I wish there were a few jazz Standards included. But that aside, it's still a wonderful addition to anyone's collection and a MUST HAVE if you're into WCJ. By the way, Buddy has a fairly recent CD out now called "SWING". And does it ever! This one is full of old standards re-done in a kickin' modern swing style. Very innovative, although it may not appeal to the more snobbish "swing" purist.
Is the review positive or negative?
