Customer Reviews neither chart nor buster, worst sound and artwork Smith and White you would expect busting energizing jazzfunk. With a team like Scofield, Dr. It is not there. It is tame. Not bad, but not funking good either. It is propably recorded early on a monday morning, without the coffee being served. Automatic playing, no fun. The sound quality is awfull. Like listening to an AM-radio: was it recorded in the mid 20-ies?? I checked my hifi when I first listened this CD: it is stereo (I guess) but nothing more. There is one thing even worse: the art design. "Chartbusters". . . who the hell is going to buy a CD with this titlle without mentioning the performers?? But Dr. Smith is there, and his playing/sound is a delight and stands out all the other. . One of those Under Rated Jazz Classics is ... Music Fan gives the details and I give you a Go 4 It . these gem of a recording . Tight musicians giving a new flame on timeless classics of pure Jazz with a modern and soulfull touch . A most for music lovers . It's Good Music . Solid and tasteful. The tracks are: 1. An exciting 1995 session for NYC Records featuring Craig Handy (tenor), Lonnie Smith (B3), Lenny White (drums), Papo Vazquez (trombone), and guitarists John Scofield, Hiram Bullock, and David Fiuczynski. Tokyo Blues (Horace Silver) 2. No Room For Squares (Hank Mobley) 3. If Ever I Would Leave You (Lerner & Loewe) 4. So Tired 5. Blues in a Jiff (Sonny Clark) 6. Una Mas (Kenny Dorham) 7.
