This set by bassist
Alain Caron puts the emphasis on his bass solos and electronics, although he utilizes a full jazz combo. All of the music consists of
Caron originals except for a tribute to
Jaco Pastorius on "Donna Lee," and the colorful titles include "The Bump," "Slam the Clown," and "Flight of the Bebop Bee." However, the titles are often more memorable than the music, which -- although well played -- would have benefited from the inclusion of a few standards or better originals.
Alain Caron is an impressive virtuoso, so hopefully a lot more will be heard from him in the future. ~ Scott Yanow
