Listener Reviews & Comments I love Greg Adams' tone. Whether playing muted trumpet or the open horn, his tone and style of playing are first rate. He is a gifted musician with a knack for writing catchy melodies with bounce, vibe and groove. What spoils this recording for me is the electronic drums, bass and keyboards. They manage to weigh this music down to the point of suffocating the life right out of these wonderful tracks. The lively brass section manages to keep this music afloat but Adams deserves much better. He should lose the programming and get live musicians to play this music and I guarantee that this disc will crackle like a roaring forest fire. Greg sounds great throughout this disc, but the musical experience is short lived because the vibe is so mechanical and soul-less. This talented musicain needs to hook up with a great bassist (like a Brian Bromberg or Nathan East) and strong drummer (like a Omar Hakim or David Garibaldi). A vibrant pianist (like a Joe Sample or David Benoit) who uses electronics for background colorations would breath new life into this music. With a good band vibing with him, Mr. Adams can then stretch out and soar to musical heights not achieved here. Come on Greg, Get it done!!!
