As a long time Alain Caron fan,I have grown accustomed to his bass virtuosity throughout the years. He is arguably one of the most underrated bassists around, at least here in the U.S. anyway. The only thing stopping this CD from being excellent is that unlike his previous receordings, "5" does not have his trademark main slap tune the others have. I may be a little bias, however, because as a slapper myself, I admire Alain's intricate,effortless slap style.In short, this CD is not quite as funky (only 2 or 3 tunes are).Nevertherless, Caron's Fretless/Slap brilliance is still heard, and appreciated.
