i bought this album after seeing rays band play in essex in 2007. the band that night displayed great vituosity and creativity - this allied to rays composing and arranging skills made an intoxicating brew. the album displays wonderful control and playing, but not the spark you might get at a live event. the apparent spontaneity is further masked by a mix which favours synthesizer washes. some people loathe jazz, and jazz is what russell does best in my opinion. this album is not a jazz album. this album plays safe, mostly, and is the poorer for it. however it is an accomplished programme and it will appeal to many.
