It was unusually difficult to even get the discs out of the sleeves. I eventually thrashed one of the discs that way. Also IMO the "bonus" tracks should have never seen the light of day.
I can accept a player being out of sorts because of something unfavorable happening to him or her at the time but when someone becomes so in love with themself that they think it's ok to treat someone like dirt-well that just sucks.I've heard some good music by Ron Carter but I've also heard some stuff that he's put out that should have humbled him.
Joe Zawinul is a great musician but from what I've heard he doesn't strike me as an overly warm guy.
