Rated very highly by the Sunday Times last week!

Criminally underrated Philipino jazz piano great Bobby Enriquez (1943-96) in a set guaranteed to make your heart race. With bass ace Eddie Gomez and super drummer Al Foster successfully holding on, the exuberant pianist turns eight jazz standards inside out and takes "Classical Gas" as an unaccompanied solo. Highlights of this typically high-powered Enriquez date include "All Blues," "Bye Bye Blackbird," Thelonious Monk's "Four in One," and "Cherokee.

How is that Philip Catherine album? I really like Hein Van de Geyn -

The qualities which have made his (PC) reputation are all gathered here, and magnified: beautiful melodies, particularly well thought out harmonies and fabulous tones. The double-bassist Hein Van de Geyn is amazingly musical, strong and sensuous and the drummer Dré Pallemaerts, keeps close to the outlines and brings vigorous colour strokes to the many scenes.

Brian Bromberg’s 2002 release, Jaco pays tribute to the late, great bassist/composer Jaco Pastorius in a way that is reverential while, at the same time, breathing new ideas into some of Pastorius’ most well-known material. And that is truly the best form of homage one can pay to someone like Jaco, a groundbreaking artist who, in the space of a little over a decade, truly changed the nature of the bass, its role and its potential.

With an arsenal of basses that, quite simply, didn’t exist when Jaco was alive, Bromberg makes Jaco a bass-players dream; a tour-de-force that demonstrates not only how Jaco altered the world’s perception of the bass, but how bassists have taken his ideas and, since then, moved on.

I play a lot of my music quite loud here but the noise this album makes with it's bass and drums, it must be heard all around the neighbourhood. Sounds great in the car I have to say.
