Synopsis

Amazon.com
Vibist Gary Burton has been collaborating with pianist Chick Corea and guitarist Pat Metheny since the mid-'70s, and it shows. The three have a strong intuitive sense of each other's lines and sound and can enhance the music in myriad, subtle ways. Having a great rhythm section doesn't hurt either, and bassist Dave Holland and drummer Roy Haynes are two of the very best. On Like Minds they have created an excellent CD: a no-frills, straight-ahead jazz album, crisply recorded, full of energy and imagination. With the exception of the George Gershwin piece, "Soon," the disc features all original compositions, with considerable thought given to distinguishing each soloist despite the surface similarity of their nimble, bouncy styles. Like minds, perhaps, but each possesses a singular voice and the ability to merge it creatively with others. --Wally Shoup

CD Reviews

Apt title
Anthony Cooper | Louisville, KY United States | 12/10/2006
(4 out of 5 stars)

"The history of bringing together superstars is mixed, sometimes people don't mesh the way you'd hope. In this case, you could've guessed Gary Burton, Chick Corea, and Pat Metheny would be simpatico. The result is as you'd expect, harmonious jazz songs. The ideal jazz for me has some blues, or dissonance, or funk, or some impolite parts. Sometimes my wife likes to call it "neurotic". My wife likes this CD, it isn't "neurotic". I like it too, it's good, but not the stuff I'd listen to 100% of the time. "Like Minds" is my favorite song. So far I haven't talked about Dave Holland -- his playing is very diverse, and he's great on this CD. This is the only modern Roy Haynes drumming I have, he's still as good as when he played on Coltrane's "Impressions"."
An album for everyone

"This is an extremely solid album and an album that anyone could love--and maybe that's why I'm left with the feeling that it falls short of what it might have been. These guys are some of the best--and each of them has released plenty of cutting edge stuff, but this album has them all solidly within their comfort zone. They've created a superlative performance, but not a particularly moving one.



This is an album that almost anyone can feel good about--and if you're anything like me, for music to really shake your world, it needs to be more personal than that. This will never be my favorite album, and it probably won't become yours either, but listen to it anyways, and learn the tunes if you're so inclined.



The album comes off as a tasteful jam session. Nothing wrong with that, but these guys have all created much more exciting stuff."
