Customer Reviews of This Album/CD |

 Rather Earthbound
Submitted on: 2009-07-05 |

Pianist Kenny Barron is, as always, a delight, but what keeps this recording from being truly delightful is the rather earthbound violin playing of Regina Carter. Her previous release, Motor City Moments, was quite a bore, but I thought that might have been because of the fusion genre. Having heard her playing on this CD, however, I am less impressed than ever. There just seems to be no playfulness in her playing. Stephane Grapelli in his later years sounded much younger at heart than does the young Ms. Carter. Her tone also sounds heavy and thick.
The sound quality is excellent. Others have praised this release; perhaps you will like it better than I do. |

 Rather get the superb "People Time" (with Stan Getz)
Submitted on: 2005-07-07 |

| This was on the list of Down Beat's Album of the Year, which surprised me somewhat but is probably a reflection of the fact that 2001 was not a year of splendid jazz records. As a fan of Kenny Barron buying this record (at a reduced price) did not require a second thought, but it is - of course - a far cry from Getz'/Barron's "People Time". Plus Carter's background accompaniment during some of Barron's solos is completely superfluous and cheapens the music. |

| Who would have thought - jazz violin?! This CD is just simply amazing. The combination of the piano and violin is breathtaking. Regina Carter and Kenny Baron are incredibly talented. This CD is a must have! |

Complex and subtle, like fine wine

| The music is alternately dreamy and startling. Always interesting and it gets better with repeated playings. Freefall is properly named! I think most of it must be improvisational, it is so spontaneously interactive. The talk between Regina and Kenny is intimate whispers. A real masterpiece. |
