CBW are guitarist Larry Coryell, former Weather Report bassist Victor Bailey and drummer Lenny White a trio capable of ear-blasting blues and funk. What distinguishes this fierce but patchy jazz-rock set from its CBW predecessor, Electric, is an unplugged delicacy on a couple of slow tracks, and good reworkings of imports like Hendrix's Manic Depression and Monk's Misterioso. Coryell, who was a 1970s jazz-rock guitar pioneer, mixes raw fluency and an R&B player's boogieing drive on Door £3. A one-take exercise, the set has its insecurities (Bailey sounds initially uncertain of the famous ascending hook of Misterioso, and Coryell's time can waver), but a what-the-hell boldness usually wins out - like the guitarist's ghostly use of the slide on Misterioso, or Bailey's chord-playing and tapping effects on Drums & Bass. Lots of raw blues and power-playing - though perhaps everybody from Scofield to D'Angelo has reworked these surefire ingredients in more subtle ways. … we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading and supporting The Guardian’s independent, investigative journalism than ever before. And unlike many news organisations, we have chosen an approach that allows us to keep our journalism accessible to all, regardless of where they live or what they can afford. But we need your ongoing support to keep working as we do. ~ John Fordham More... https://www.theguardian.com/music/2007/jan/12/jazz.shopping1
