"....then this is the album for you. Once again, the 3rd CAB is all about the chops, with Chambers, Macalpine, and Brunel showing off their prowess in another fusion-fest. As with the other CAB projects, if you're looking for memorable melodies, you've come to the wrong place. But these guys are *very* good at what they do, and this album shows it.And just to follow up on the question for previous reviewers... yes, it's CAB 4, and yes, it's the 3rd offering from these guys. Apparently it's something of an inside joke, I've heard. Though I suspect this might be one of those things that seemed clever at the time, yet seems a lot less so in retrospect...."
Cab rules, and Cab 3 is out there.

"I recently saw Cab play at the Baked Potato in Los Angeles and they were amazing. They played tunes from all the Cab records, and all I have to say is that I bought Cab 3 from Bunny Brunel, its a live double CD of them playing at the Baked Potato. I forgot who the key board player was for the CD but the drummer was Virgil Donati, who is an amazing player."
Best Fusion Ever!

"If you like old school rock/jazz fusion, this album is for you.Dennis Chambers is one of the world's best drummers (Funkadelic; John McClaughlin; Santana); he has played with all the best and is a phenominal player. Bunny Brunel played with Chick Corea and if you like killer, fast, funky bass playing, he is your man.Tony Mac is new to me and he writes swell tunes and plays exciting guitar and keyboards. Throw in Ms Patrice Rushen on piano on a few tracks and you have a heady musical stew.Well recorded, great playing, some long jams-a fusion lovers delight. Their previous 2 albums are equally excellent ( there is no CAB 3-some kind of inside joke). Happy listening."
Quintessential Fusion

"First and foremost, pick this up just to hear Patrice Rushen's chops. Brian Auger is an excellent and underrated keyboardist. Tony McAlpine and fusion are synonymous. His guitar solo on "Jam and Toast" tells a story. Bunny Brunel's bass playing on this album will make you go home and shed, and re-shed. Dennis Chambers has to be my favorite drummer of all time and proves that funk cannot be learned, it just is!!
This cd is for fusion fans (fanatic's) and for any musician who is willing to raise the stakes.

They Skipped CAB 3 and Went Straight for CAB 4!

"I have been a fusion fan since the 70s. This CD has what I like: great tunes and great playing. I dislike fusion tunes that are just chord changes for the musicians to romp over. I really like Bunny Brunell's tunes. If you like heavy fusion, you will like this one."
