Cab

"This is not smooth jazz. Thank goodness!!!! I went out on a limb in buying this. It was rated 5 stars in Bass Player magazine. It is. So much of the instrumental [stuff] today is mindless soloing with a drumulator and a sequencer, hats off to these three gents. It has a Return to Forever feel, only with a funky edge and great soloing. Dennis and Bunny are top notch, Tony holds his own too. If you are looking at Cab2, the new release, get this one. They lost their edge on the second album. Fusion still lives on this one."

Pleasant surprise

"I've always appreciated Tony MacAlpine's neo-classical shredding technique if not the music, so when I chanced upon CAB in a specialist jazz store in the sales I thought why not. I was more than pleasantly surprised as it fairly rocks and grooves in equal measure thanks to Dennis Chambers powerhouse drumming and Brunel's busy basslines. Over this MacAlpine lays down some tasty licks, although sometimes his tone veers towards metal. I recommend this to anyone who likes fusion in as done by Tribal Tech, and Billy Cobham on 'Spectrum'. I'll definitely check out CAB 2 and 4 on the strength of this one."

A layed back Macalpine

"This album showed that Macalpine, has more then just one way of playing. If you don't have this album then something is wrong with you. This is by far the best Cab album that was released."
