Free Music Notes for A Hot Night In Paris
Free Music Review: this is not a POP album
Hit: 5 Stars
If you're expecting to hear Phil Collins sing on this one walk away now. That is not what this CD is about. This is Phil Collins going back to his jazz influences and putting a whole new spin on some of his songs and those by Genesis.I have recently become a BIG fan of jazz and big band music. This CD is in the spirit of the masters: Buddy Rich, Count Basie, and Duke Ellington - all of whom Phil Collin's states as influences.
I have always liked the Genesis song, "Hold on my heart." The way it shows up here is incredible. That along with "Milestones" and "Pick up the pieces" are my favorites.
If you want to try something new...with just a hint of something familiar, then give this a shot.
Free Music Review: Collins Knows Jazz Arrangements
Hit: 5 Stars
Phil Collins has always been influenced by jazz. In his first solo album, Face Value, you can hear a jazz influence with the Phoenix Horns playing on many of his arrangements. He was greatly influenced by Buddy Rich in his early years and has stated he wanted to do a jazz album because of Buddy's influence. A Hot Night In Paris, is that. Hot! His arrangements on "I Don't Care Anymore" and "Milestones" are dynamic. As a drummer, Phil knows how to drive a band and insert fills at the right time. He's shown this in his early albums and definetly on this one. This is one of his best albums. I hope he continues to record his big band sound.Free Music Review: Phil Collins goes jazzy

I had no idea that Phil Collins had branched out into the jazz field, until I saw a review of this cd in a magazine. As I happen to love Genesis and Phil Collins' music, and I also love jazz, I couldn't resist buying this album. And I love it. Hearing these jazz renditions of Collins/Genesis songs is truly an experience. Collins of course plays drums on all tracks, and is joined by some great jazz players, including Gerald Albright on alto sax. There is also an Albright composition as well as a great cover of Miles Davis' "Milestones". This is an album that jazz/Genesis fans should not miss. Recommended.Free Music Review: Phil Collins...under the radar screen.

They snuck this all instrumental cd out with very little promotion , and no wonder ; 1. It's jazz and (omigod!) 2. it has no vocals at all , a death knell for commercial success. Phil Collins proves that he's one hell of a "chops" drummer on this ; the "charts" rank with some of the best big-band jazz I've ever heard , and Phil pops every break and accent right on the money. Every true musician tries his hand at a jazz set , (I know, I've done mine !) and Phil Collins should be proud of this ! It smokes ! Bob Welch (ex-Fleetwood Mac etc)Free Music Review: Phil Collins...under the radar screen.
