Editorial Review: Album Description: As one of the key architects of the '60's West Coast Sound, Howard Roberts' influence is incalculable.

 Rating:  - EssentialThe four cds Euphoria put out in recent years to make justice of Howard Roberts reputation as the perfect jazz guitarist are in my opinion all essential. Infact you absolutly can't say which is the best, they all form a complete picture of one of the truly greatest Jazz guitarist ever and I really suggest you the purchase of the complete opera (eight records on four discs: 1 Colour him funky-HR is a dirty guitar player, 2 Jaunty Jolly-Guilty 3Whatever's fair-Alltime instrumental hits 4 Goodies-Something Cookin'). I'm a Jazz guitar player myself, but believe me or not, I onestly think that jazz guitarists are in many cases so boring. I'm not talking about Wes obviously, he's completly in another category and to me he will always be one of the ... Read More: Rating:  - A few good tracks.This is for the most part, no too great. There is 2 outstanding tracks [misty & autumn leaves], but the rest are just to "60's" for me. I bought this album expecting a killer jazz record, but in all reality it is a lot like Montgomery's "A day in the life" album. A great jazz player, playing 60's pop, or jazz songs in the style of 60's pop. If you are looking for a Roberts album, I'd go with Dirty & Funky. Satin Doll on there is out of this world. Rating: - Rediscovering HowardHoward Roberts was my uncle and although I only met him a few times, I knew his music as a young child in the late 1960s because my family had two of his albums: Goodies & All-Time Great Instrumental Hits. I hadn't heard the latter in many years until I got this CD, which I listen to all the time now. My favorites have to be "It Was a Very Good Year," "Work Song," and "The "In" Crowd." Howard takes these songs and really makes them his own with his stylish interpretations. Both albums really swing and show that not only is Howard Roberts a great technical jazz guitarist, but he's also got alot of soul! |
