Music reviews of Sunflower
Music Review: Good, but needs more Milt and less of everything else
Rating: 3 Stars
The CTI jazz albums of the 1970s always featured great musicians but tended to be over-produced, and this 1972 recording is no exception. Milt Jackson, who gave us an extraordinary body of work that should be represented in every jazz collection, is joined here by Herbie Hancock on keyboards, Freddie Hubbard on trumpet & flugelhorn, Ron Carter on bass, and Billy Cobham on drums. He is also joined by a string section, woodwinds, and auxiliary percussion. All of this tends to get in the way of the man who is supposed to be the featured artist.
If you didn't know that Jackson was the headliner, you'd think this was a Freddie Hubbard album. Freddie's horn is prominent on all the tunes, and he even composed the title track. By the time he and Hancock take their time in the spotlight, there's too little time left for Jackson, who often fades into the background.
This is not a bad album, and it's reasonably priced, but it's far from being a good showcase of Jackson's artistry. Try Bags & Trane (Mcup) (with John Coltrane), The Ellington Album"All Too Soon" (with Joe Pass), or any of the many occasions when Jackson teamed up with Oscar Peterson.
