COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Hit-and-Miss on the Solos submitted by Meginator on June 25, 2019, 10:21pm This is an excellent recording showcasing some amazing musical skills, but I found the solo sections to be very hit and miss. Most of the improvisations effectively employ space, so that it doesn’t sound like the musicians are merely trying to play as many notes as possible, but some seemed to me to lose the plot a bit. I was generally impressed by how often the drummer stole the show here. I’d recommend this as a pretty good album, but with some reservations as it could prove a little difficult to get into.
