Free Music Review: Bland and Insipid, Can Do Better.
Hit: 1 Stars
This must rank as one of the most disappointing buys I've ever made.
The gushing reviews that I have seen for this product are an offence to reason. Most reviewers make reference to his live perfomances or other tracks they have heard. Why? None of that is present on THIS album.
The guy is almost certainly a very talented player but has made a very bad choice of producer(if he was given a choice) and the whole thing strikes me an excersise in targeted marketing rather than an artist presenting his work.
The music is of the standard you might expect to be played in a restaurant. To be honest I've heard much better played in restaurants.
The opening couple of tracks showed some promise but then the saccharine coating arrived in the form of some of the most awful string arrangements I've ever heard. Particularly execrable is an appallingly insipid version of 'Girl' (yes it's the Beatles song) which pretty much sums up the approach to to the album: zero imagination, zero inventiveness.
Apparently his earlier albums were much better and his live playing is something to behold. I guess the Wyndham Hill label must bear the greatest part of the responsibility for this travesty of wasted talent and effort.
If you want music to nod off to it is quite possible you may find this a useful product, otherwise, steer well clear.
