I WISH I HAD LISTENED TO THE OTHER REVIEWER

"VERY DISAPPOINTING ALBUM; I WISH I HAD NEVER BOUGHT IT. BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT I HAD BEEN QUITE IMPRESSED BY A COUPLE OF OTHER MICHAEL DAVIS' RECORDINGS (LIKE "BONETOWN" AND "NEW BRASS") , I THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE ALONG THE SAME LINES. I WAS NEVER MORE WRONG: SILLY DISCO GROOVE TUNES WITH VIRTUALLY NO JAZZ FEELING AT ALL. I KNOW MICHAEL DAVIS IS A GREAT TROMBONE PLAYER, BUT YOU'D NEVER KNOW IT FROM THIS RECORD."
Smooth jazz at it's worst

"The cd opens up with one of those synthetic funk grooves characteristic of smooth jazz, particularly uninspired in this instance, marred also by a tinny recording quality. However, the fundamental flaw of this disc is Davis's trombone which sounds murky and weak, especially atop all the electronic "smooth" mayhem. The session is not rewarding in the least bit... no improvisational fire, no rhythmic inspiration, no harmonic interest. Just Davis's thin trombone atop what can only be described as "ungrooves." unrecommended"
