Search - Heads Up Super Band :: Live at Berks Jazz Fest

This Could've Been A Contenda!

11/10/1998

(2 out of 5 stars)

"The concept here is great, unfortunately the label (Heads Up) didn't see fit to include all of the songs from this set, nor did they keep the crowd noise on the disc (several songs simply fade out). I was very disappointed in the (skimpy) 43 minutes of music which appears to be spliced together. Additionally, there is video footage on the Enhanced CD portion containing performances of songs NOT on the CD - apparently taken from the same show (what's up with that?)!!! Overall, this product is below the fine standards that Heads Up has established. Perhaps if enough people complain, the label would consider reissuing this product with ALL of the concert intact. As a result, the two star rating is mostly for the musicians on the disc, who appear to be better than this disc projects them to be."
