RE: Multi-channel and the FDA

71.223.128.50

The eighty-eight guy has enviable production skills, however I think Mr. Hakim's drumming on that July 6th recording (and elsewhere) is often better suited to rock than Jazz as he repeatedly upstages (in a negative way) his fellow musicians with that bombastic crashing that leaves me missing Jazz artists like Mr.Motian more than ever. Was Omar encouraged to do his John Bonham percussive displays or does he come from a pop drumming background where the impulse to extremes is de riguer? I suspect the latter. One more comment - the single vocal track sung by Mr.Hakim's on Stella by Starlight/The Great Jazz Trio (Song for my Father) blemished what otherwise was a very decent release. Just my opinion of course.
