Free Music Review: Phil Collins branches out
Hit: 5 Stars
The arrangements are awesome, the band powerful. Wonderful treatments of many of Phil Collins' best hits. The driving funk groove behind Gerald Albright's solo on track 1 is reason enough to get this CD. I hope another one is in the works!Free Music Review: Phil Collins Jams

...Gene Krupa. Other reviewers have touched on the specific numbers collectively better than I could, so I'll just deal with Phil The Drummer here. I know friends who have always dissed the way Collins has used all four of his toms in a way that walks all over the backbeat as defined by his snare. I used to say; "Well, that's 'cause he's more of a jazz man than a rock drummer", but I went no further than that. Rock has always been backbeat-centered, so a drummer like Collins is always going to leave the rock listener a bit cold. But it wasn't until I bought this disc that I realized that the slam-boom beat of "I Don't Care Anymore" has always been more derivative of Gene Krupa (specifically "Sing, Sing, Sing") than any rock drummer. Not even the use of horns in songs like "It Don't Matter To Me" and Genesis' "Paperlate" tipped me off to the fact that this man should have done a big band album years ago. I'm not saying that he should abandon pop entirely, but the switch of Brian Setzer to swing, the fact that Lyle Lovett's Large Band has a solid following, and the fact that Chuck Mangione's brother Gap has converted from small ensemble to big band--all of this at least suggests that (at least at the moment) there's an appetite for the sound.
