Title: Sucks
Review: Rubalcava and Lovano might be great on their own but together they suck, at least on this cd. Like oil and water, they do not mix well. This was a major disappointment, so much so that I got rid of it. I do admit that I did hear potential for some major jams so I am willing to buy another one of his cd's and try it, since I believe there is a monster in there but not in this one. I like Chucho Valdes, Hilton Ruiz, Ruben Gonzalez, Papo Luca, Palmieri, etc. and I thought this would be more along those lines. Mr. Rubalcava should stick to his genre. For full blown jazz I'll listen to Art Tatum and Oscar Peterson. For dissonant jazz I listen to nobody, I don't care how good the performer is supposed to be. Dissonant music, isn't that an oxymoron. We 'll try once more.
