Camp Meeting CD

 Album Rating: (3 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: B. Hornsby did an OK job with this CD. Not what I expected from him.

Bruce Hornsby in name only

 Album Rating: (1 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: Love Bruce Hornsby but I should have read up on this before buying. It is a straight Jazz instrumental and not to my liking

Strong, stright-up jazz

 Album Rating: (4 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: Hornsby's playing here reminds me of the young Brubeck -- strong phrasing, clean rhythm, clear ideas. This is not fusion or pop -- it's straight-up jazz.

Not your father's Hornbsy (cuz it's killer jazz)

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: Bruce Hornsby has become a huge favorite in our house. I ordered a bunch of cds a few months ago, and I still chuckle about one of my teenage daughters saying, "order some Hornsby, but not his 'Pop-py' stuff." She wanted to hear his formidable jazz piano chops. We were blown away by his playing on the Piano Jazz cd with Marian McPartland, which through his playing and interview, gives great insight to his background and approach. Bruce is very modest about his jazz chops, but he needn't be: his playing couldn't be farther from his lush, comfy (but absolutely wonderful) pop voicings, and he puts his own superb, creative spin on a diverse selection of tunes, underpinned by arguably the best rhythm section in jazz, Jack DeJohnette and Christian McBride. My wife and I independently headed for the Border's tent at the Newport jazz fest after hearing them on the main stage, and the guys graciously signed both copies (she got there first). Camp Meeting was just about the only cd we listened to during the long drive back to Buffalo from Newport. 'Nuff said.

From rock to jazz - great musician

Review Comments: Music on CD ranges from modern, discordant, to some standards. Great interpretations of the pieces I know. Trio plays together really well. Engineering seems solid.
