Whether a review is positive, negative, or neutral, we always publish it. However, we screen every review to ensure it is authentic and free of profanity. These checks happen automatically, though a human occasionally steps in. We never pay for reviews.
Though it doesn't quite match the consistency of Stone Flute, another string-infused Herbie album from the same era, side 1 is incredibly powerful and features slow, heavy passages that verge on Trip-Hop. Over time, I've encountered numerous efforts to merge rock with symphonic strings, and frankly, I find them overly dramatic and not my cup of tea. However, on side 1 of this album, Herbie and his band of fusion elite seamlessly blend a rock-like sound with eerie, cavernous string arrangements, making it my favorite example of an orchestra paired with a Bass, Guitar, and Drums group. Kudos to Conductor/arranger William S Fischer, who opts for a spooky vibe over grandeur. In the liner notes of his album Circle's reissue, he detailed his approach to writing strings for rock. Side 2 of Concerto Grosso, though, is more third stream-oriented, and I wasn't particularly fond of it.
In my opinion, the sound quality of this pressing is fantastic. What a captivating album! It might just be my top pick from Herbie Mann's discography that I've listened to so far.
