Clunky Posted May 8, 2009 Report Posted May 8, 2009 Fantastic music , I guess it's jazz but with a health dose of blues in its soul. Sad and joyous , wonderfully recorded. Quote
Alexander Posted May 8, 2009 Report Posted May 8, 2009 Yep. Great stuff! A friend of mine is disappointed that Toussaint doesn't sing more on the album, and I suppose he has a point. I'm just enjoying it so much for what it is, I haven't really had time to miss what it isn't! Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted May 8, 2009 Report Posted May 8, 2009 Attended a great Toussaint show at the Village Gate with Dr. John and Fathead. Must have been around 1980. Quote
paul secor Posted May 8, 2009 Report Posted May 8, 2009 Yep. Great stuff! A friend of mine is disappointed that Toussaint doesn't sing more on the album, and I suppose he has a point. I'm just enjoying it so much for what it is, I haven't really had time to miss what it isn't! I haven't heard the new recording, but I never thought much of Toussaint as a vocalist. He's a composer/arranger/instrumentalist in my book. The fact that his vocals are not featured would be a plus for me if I decide to pick it up. Quote
Stereojack Posted May 8, 2009 Report Posted May 8, 2009 The album is not what I expected - mostly instrumental, leaning towards traditional jazz, but with enough of Allen's unique piano style to make it personal. Quote
