Marc Rosen & Sweet Thunder
Jazztet offers 11
tracks on their new CD Monsoon
(2006) with material of their making. It
is a good Jazz album and to its credit is not as manicured as many in the
genre, but it is not an album that stays with you after you hear it unless you
are a diehard Jazz fan or love Saxophone.
Like many
such albums I have heard recently, I have very little to say if I am not
impressed by it. It is hard to go in depth
unless you really, really love Jazz. The
band can play, but that does not mean this critic went gag a, though I doubt
that was the intent of the release.
However, fans should at least give it a chance.
The PCM
2.0 16bit/44.1kHz Stereo is a little rough, but still plays well enough. Rosen co-produced with mixer/engineer Gregg
Carpenter, who even plays bass guitar on the album. Go to www.SweetThunderJazztet.com for
