Notes: What
can you say about an album that first presents a version of "Theme
from Battlestar Galactica" that
makes you wince and then on the flip side does justice to the
classic tune "Birdland"? Maynard always does
this to me. He can play a mean horn and usually surrounds himself
with a good selection of session players, but sometime his selection
of material is painful. If we could just keep him away from the
trendy "now" sounding tunes and let him stick to blowing
his horn we'd be on the right track. That aside the cover art
here is what caught my interest in this record. There's an almost
R. Crumb type feel to the figure and a Peter Max look to the
coloring. Very attrective it is. Scan the cover, burn the few
good tunes onto a CD and then shelve this one.
