CD Reviews

Heavy Sounds

Igor Coitus | Houston, Tx | 05/01/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"A great recording. "The greatest bass solo ever recorded" (as put by another reviewer) is certainly a stretch, but the album is still magnificent. Heavy Sounds is a title that accurately describes the music. Buy and enjoy."

Opener "Raunchy Rita" is the highlight

K. W. Schreiter | Conshohocken, PA | 02/07/2009

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This jazz record features the quartet of co-leaders drummer Elvin Jones and bassist Richard Davis, plus saxophonist Frank Foster and pianist Billy Green. Foster's energetic, funky eleven-minute opener "Raunchy Rita" is outstanding. The remainder of the album is pleasant but not as immediate or enjoyable as the opener. It includes an abstract, eleven-minute version of the Gershwin standard "Summertime" and Jones experimenting with lead guitar on the simple "Elvin's Guitar Blues"."
