ボビーマクファーリンが一曲"Summer Song"で歌ってるんですよね。それがとても良いんですよ。彼は一人でパフォーマーとしてやってても良いのですが、バンドで普通にシンガーとしてやるとさらに良い気がする。やっぱり音楽はみんなでせ~のでやった方が嬉しく楽しいと思うのですがいかが? 数ある彼らのアルバムの中でも、地味だけど曲が良いというのと、アレンジがどうにもこうにもラッセルフェランテしていてファンなら唸る筈。(というかもう既に購入して何万回聴いている筈。。)2曲目"Blacktop"のジミーちゃんのベースラインがなんとなくマイルスの"The man with the horn"のなんとかいう曲のベースラインに似とってかっこいいよ。しかしこれだけ構成力があって考え抜かれたサウンドメイキングをすると、それだけ冷静になりがちで音楽からソウルが無くなりそうなものだが、そこはどっこいハートがあって歌心満載のアルバムなのです。100点
This is by far one of my favorite Jazz Artist and what a deal! Again Amazon has come through with quality. This CD of the Yellow Jackets is what I believe to be one of thier best albums. I couln't find it anywhere but on Amazon. Thanks for delivering it so quickly and being affordable. I feel confident that my purchases are secure with Amazon, and that the used products which are available are like new and in great condition. Thanks again Amazon.
I recently purchased this CD just about a month after purchasing Politics. While Politics has more changes in the cuts, both CDs are quite fresh and don't sound dated. That's a bit of a feat considering that Politics was played in the 90s, I believe, and this one is actually mellower. I own about five Yellowjackets CDs and I enjoy them all. They're all different from one another though distinctly Yellowjackets music. Recommended.
The Yellowjackets music has always pleased us and this album is no exception…we play it regularly on car trips where it helps make the journey much more pleasant.
