Weak, weaker, the weakest ...

What TB was thinking? "That Summer" was a CD that already raised criticisms, however, still mostly contained jazz elements. "Oceana" was - well - mixed and could not arouse my enthusiasm. "Rio" was a milestone - on the way down. Great thinking - performed poorly.

Now that! Mainstream tooting of the worst kind. Musically present only in its infancy. Who says Mr. X Factor judge Bronner finally, that his voice reaches a maximum for the jazz combo that can afford a wedding or family reunion? Why does not he limited to his - excellent - skills as a trumpeter, raging out as an arranger and let the Jazz back into his musical life?

I am truly not a jazz purist - otherwise I would not have bought the album me after looking at the title track, but now I've had enough. That was my last TB-CD I purchased without sufficient audio. However, I fear that it was so my last TB-CD; because it is the earliest change his style in twenty years and then go "Back to the roots".

What a waste. Especially if you know how great he can be when he reflects on his abilities and making music. There are so fantastic singers (Pat Appleton example, or why not he gives his X Factor protégé a vocal part). Too bad ...
