It takes a musician of Lynch's caliber to put together such a compelling tribute to the great Woody Shaw. It also serves a fine introduction to the musical world of Woody Shaw. godisozzy
An Eddie Palmieri album for half the price is something I can't resist... It's splendid salsa throughout, but somewhat untypical, due to some standard jazz elements in the form of extensive improvisations. As usual, Eddie Palmieri "sings" along during his piano parts - quite out of tune sometimes, which can be a little bit distracting. But that's the price we have to pay for having his great music around. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
