Music reviews of Live at Tonic (Dig)

Music Review: A Lil' Sumthin' 4 every1... or something like that
Rating: 4 Stars

McBride has offered us a great deal... three discs for the price of one. But I encourage you to think about it more like this... one great disc.. for the price of one, but you get two bonus discs of material. The first disc is first rate jazz fusion. I was blown away on "Vertical Horizan" when they opened with Technicolor Nightmare and I am still impressed on the live disc. If you are like me you will probably play the fits 10 seconds of this disc over and over and over before you even get to the rest of the tracks. It is a GREAT unison lick, very powerful and very funky. The playing on the first disc is outstanding. Of course it is the best of the first sets on the two nights. This is an amazingly tight group. If you get off on an ensembles subtle nuances and ability to really play with each other... not just play, you will flip over some parts of the first disc. It ranges from great RTF-esque moments of fusion and then slips right into something swinging. It is fair to say that all of the players on this disc are top-notch but of special note is Ron Blake. Blake is really a fantastic player who seems to be slipping under too many people's radar... of course I guess I could say that about alot of players in jazz (because as we all know too much good music being made that know one is hearing... but this is a review not a rant on the state of music). The CMB band is a great context for Blake's aggresive style and sound.
To be honest.. the second disc didn't do as much for me. Perhaps it is because I was still riding a high from the first disc... or perhaps it is because I was not high. the second disc represents the enture second set from the 1st night. Let me say first off how cool it is to hear something like this... it is a unique experience. Having said that the second has some very strong moments. The first track's second line feel is very cool and really gets you in the mood for some new orleans style funk, a little Rebirth Band flavor... and then it goes... well somewhere else from there. This is not to say it is bad, just loose and sometmes feels cluttered. By the end of the disc you have left New Orleans, travelled to Philly for some funk and ended up tripping at the Filmore East. This whole second disc really has a Miles fusion era feel too it. Some of it takes you somewhere and sometimes you are left scratching your head wondering where you are. Keep in mind though you have paid for the first set...your just getting to experience the late night jams for free, and for free you are more than getting your money's worth. I mean hey you also get to heard Jason Moran, Jenny Schienman and Charlie Hunter jam-out.
The third disc consists of four tunes... so as might might expect they are long. This disc is just a hard-core funk jam session. This is a party. If you like the Brand New Heavies (especially Heavy Rhyme Vol. 1), The Roots, Lettuce, Soulive, or you were the guy who got more into the instrumental than the other cuts on the Beastie Boy albums you will totally dig this third disc, second set on the second night. I would have liked to hear Blake let loose a bit more but this is fun disc. This is the type of disc you through on at a house party or BBQ. The guest appearences buy DJ Logic and Scratch are pretty cool. Like i said I would have liked to hear Blake really let go on some of these funk jams but all the playing is fine. Sometimes my ear begs to hear a MC... and oh if just Common had stuck his head in that night, but oh well. This is still a funking good disc!
For the price, which I would not complain about if this CD was just the 1st disc, you cannot beat it.
This disc, all 3 of them, begs to be played loud... so sit down, or go for a drive and crank it... let other people hear your music for a change, maybe they will learn something.
