Title: Uninspired wankery from a great bassist
Review: As far as the music on this cd is concerned, the other reviewer pretty much sums it up more tactfully that I ever could. Why, Miroslav, why? His first date as a leader, "Infinite Search," is essential. ("Purple," made with roughly the same players, is unavailable on cd--go figure.) I saw his band back in '76--an astounding concert--in my top five, for sure. Miroslav is a great player, bandleader and composer. Why is it then that his solo output, with one, possibly two exceptions, ranges from okay (Miroslav Vitous Group/ECM) to execrable? This is one of the great mysteries of the universe.
Is the review positive or negative?
