Search - Hank Jones, Dave Holland :: Oracle

Beautiful

Keith Maxwell Button | Columbus, OH | 12/17/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a beautiful album as you can imagine. Hank Jones, Dave Holland and Billy Higgins fit together naturally. The feel of the musicians here is so loose and supportive. No one brought his ego to the studio the day they recorded this. Hank has a gritty, organic sound, Dave plays with a propulsive quarter note and Billy has this crazy way of understating everything and flooring you with his simplicity at times. I would try to borrow it from the library however 'cause most people can't afford $60 for an album."

One of the great jazz trio recordings ever

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Underwritten by Philip Morris (hey, a little of that deadly money should go to something beautiful and creative), this all-star trio showcases the talent, integrity and imagination of three of America's greatest musicians. The title track is the killer, funky, sophisticated, edgy, unforgettable--as is the entire experience. A must-have CD."
