This double album is mostly recommended to lovers of bass solos. With
Ron Carter functioning as the main soloist on piccolo bass, only the solos of pianist
Kenny Barron offer a bit of contrast. Bassist
Buster Williams and drummer
Ben Riley, who complete the quartet, are mostly featured in support. These performances, which are well-played, are almost all quite long, so listeners who prefer more variety in their music are advised to look elsewhere. ~ Scott Yanow
