Music reviews of Che Corazon
Music Review: Che So-so
Rating: 3 Stars
I'm a long-time fan of Gato Barbieri and think I've heard everything he's done. Over the years, his albums have ranged from outstanding to insipid. Che Corazon ranks between these extremes. Bernie Mases, an old high school buddy and music maven recommended this to me proclaiming it better than "Que Pasa". In this, I can't agree. The album has some undoubtedly strong points but lacks the overall musical "vision" of its predecessor. One song, "I Want You", single-handedly knocks a star from the rating. I call it "elevator soul", and back-to-back with "Cristianos", the album starts off like it will be full of the soft jazz bilge one hears nationwide on so-called "smooth jazz" stations. "I Want You", as performed here, is 180 degrees from the great instrumental it is on Caliente. Fortunately, the album gets better. Blue Eyes contains shreds of the Gato of old, while Sweet Glenda will take you way back, with a syncopated beat and some stacatto bursts for which Barbieri is famous. Encounter, The Woman on the Lake, and 1812 are also pleasant reminders of how great Gato can be. Auld Lang Syne has no real purpose here and in fact is quite obnoxious. I'm just thankful Gato didn't decide to add Amazing Grace. There is enough good music on the album to make it worth owning, but its quite the mixed bag and should be renamed Che So-so.
