CD ReviewsAgainst All Odds a pleasant surprise stephen sasser | Portland, Oregon | 01/25/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "Despite the title (I thought it was going to be a movie soundtrack or Phil Collins pop song) this is an incredible assortment of jazz tunes by a very tight band. The orchestration is superb and the addition of a few vocal tracks by Curtis Lundy's sister makes for great variety. I listened to it on a 400 mile drive and never turned it off. It, along with the new Elliott Caine Sextet disk, Orientation, is now on my jazz top ten list." Sheer class J Dingwall | glasgow, strathclyde United Kingdom | 07/22/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "This one really lives up to all positive reviews and could be the spiritual successor to the Bobby Watson/Curtis Lundy debut 'estimated time of arrival'from way back in 1977. On 'Against all odds' every musician shines and generously plays for each other with John Hicks and Tony Wonsey(piano) being especially impressive. Carmen lundy has vocals on three tracks, my favourite being 'a long journey' which has similarities to jimmy heaths 'the time & the place'(1974). If you are new to Carmen lundy check out her 1985 track 'never gonna let you go' which also emphasises her impressive vocal range. Guest musician Roy hargrove is used sparingly yet only adds to the wonderfully organic sound of this brilliant album" Buy it for Carmen's superlative vocals! Sloper Dude | L'Étoile du Nord | 03/07/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "I was already a fan of Carmen Lundy, Curtis' sister, so this CD was a natural choice. She probably has one of the top 10 voices in Jazz today, though her name isn't as well known as her talent deserves. I will never understand why someone with a voice as thin as Diana Krall sells so well, when there is so much better talent out there.
If you're more impressed by a great voice and a great band than by packaging and album sales, check this one out. I also recommend Carmen Lundy's "Self Portrait". My own favorite track on "Against All Odds" is "Blue Woman", which Carmen shines in." |
