Free Music Review: Opening yourself to a lot of criticism...
Hit: 3 Stars
Jaco playing smooth jazz at geritol tempos? I think not. This attempt is certainly not in the spirit of Jaco. It's like taking Miles' "Kind of Blue" and turning it into a smooth jazz album - some things you just don't do. And duplicating the original Jaco'75 album cover tells me you had to know you were gonna open yourself to criticism. There is no question Bromberg can play, but the spirit of Jaco really isn't there. Can you imagine Chris Botti duplicating Miles' "In a Silent Way" album cover and pawning it off as homogenized jazz? Would be a bad idea from the start...Musicians know what I'm talking about. Non-Musicians won't get what I'm saying, and that's o.k., It's all good.
Jaco Poster
If you look closely at this CD's cover photo of acoustic and electric bassist Brian Bromberg, you'll see that it's styled exactly like that of legendary bass player Jaco Pastorius's first solo recording from 1976. For Bromberg, who played with Stan Getz, Horace Silver, and Lee Ritenour, the magical and mercurial Pastorius was to the electric bass what Jimi Hendrix was to the guitar. On this tribute, with keyboardist Jeff Lorber, saxophonists Bob Mintzer and Eric Marienthal, and percussionist and (ex-Jaco bandmate) Alex Acuna, Bromberg extends and elaborates on Pastorius's unique blend of jazz fusion, world, and soul influences. Bromberg skillfully reinterprets Pastorius's brilliant bass lines on the acoustic and electric bass and changes up the groove on a number of his compositions. "Continuum" and "Three Views of a Secret" are redone with Afro-Caribbean tinges and a funky big-band feel. The two versions of "Teen Town" rock with hip-hop-friendly backbeats, while "The Chicken" and "Come On, Come Over" recall Pastorius's love for the rhythm & blues stars Sam & Dave. The tour de force of the CD is "Slang(ish)," a solo spotlight where Bromberg shows off advanced string-tapping skills that would have made his idol proud. --Eugene Holley Jr.Jazz Music CDs
