Negative Positive
Title: Loud and discordant
Review: After hearing the exquisite playing on Charlie Haden's Nocturne,I thought for sure this album would be enjoyable ,too. Not so! Either I am not "hip" or progressive enough or this album stinks. Every cut seems to drift into loud dissonant passages, and the more so the longer the cut seems to get and the louder the recording engineer seems to mix it. Afraid we'll miss some of it I guess. I have heard this album compared to Bill Evans music. I don't see this at all, and I've collected Bill Evans for many years. I have nearly a dozen Haden albums and this ranks just about at the bottom.
Is the review positive or negative?
