Purchased the album. It seems very reserved and there is no risk taking as far as the solos go. I could have spent money better on buying 3-4 classic Blue Note albums instead of this super "safe" recording. Basically Blue Note gone Hollywood. Honest review.
This sounds promising. Not an imitation of the classic BlueNote years(who could imitate Art Blakey,Monk,Horace Silver?),nor a remix project that would be outdated in a few months. A solid bunch of players who can both play in an ensemble and also create listenable solos. Hopefully,they will be in good spirits when I get to see them in Philly in April. Memo to Bruce Lunvall,CEO of Blue Note Records:maybe a video could be shot when the tour winds up in NYC a few days later at the BlueNote club.
