Negative Positive
Title: one star ???
Review: I own the regular version of this cd so I can't at all comment on the sound quality. It does appear that it could be a cheese-ball label release, but one star? I own several Buddy albums. In fact I own hundreds of jazz cds. This is a short album from what I can recall (a little over 30 minutes). Also, if you're waiting to hear a drum solo, don't hold your breath. Buddy sticks close to the charts on this one. "Birdland" and "Fiesta" are pretty good tunes. Fun charts to listen to Buddy's playful bigband interpretation of what Zawinul and Corea were doing at that time. However, "Cape Verdian Blues" is one of the swingingest tunes I've ever heard. If ever there were a song for the open road this is it. If you're a Buddy fan, crank this song up on the highway. If you can keep the vehicle under 80 m.p.h. than your a better man than me.
Is the review positive or negative?
