4 out of 5 stars Tom Scott's swan song.......2006-06-26

Although a bit streaky, this is one of Tom Scott's best albums. It's definitely the best of his works from the '80s. I don't particularly enjoy live albums but this is an exception. Pulled from three live shows from January '81 at New York's club The Bottom Line (which closed in December '03), this is one of the last truly great jazz fusion albums, and it nicely captures the sound of New York jazz during that era.

It's wonderful hearing Tom Scott and the crowds interact with each other. The opening song is the title track - an upbeat little funk number with tinges of electric guitar and organ thrown in, giving that familiar sound we know from Scott. "We Belong Together" is a nice, subdued ballad that features light sax work by Scott. This is followed by "So White and So Funky" with soul-belter Dr. John singing, and goading the audience to join in. This track is really hit-or-miss: either you'll find Dr. John's presence and crowd interaction jovial and worthwhile (as I do), or unnecessary (like some critics and fans here do.)
The remaining highlights include the aptly-titled "In My Dreams" which has a calm, dreamlike sound to it (courtesy of Richard Tee's keyboards) and "Instant Relief" - an 8-minute tour-de-force that nicely concludes the album.

Overall this is enjoyable, occasionally impressive. This is another soundtrack for those quiet, rainy, stay indoors evenings. This is one of the least accessible albums by Scott. Cassette tapes both new (which I found) and used can be found on Ebay at not high price, as well as used LPs. It's available on CD, but for a hefty fee. If you can find it, once you do you won't be disappointed!

4 out of 5 stars Worth the price for the memories.......2004-08-18

Sure this import is expensive, but if you had the original release, you know that it's worth it. This LP was given to me by a great friend back in the early 1980's; my first taste of this kind of music. Even though I was underage, I could picture myself at The Bottom Line, listening to one of the live performances. An outstanding recording of some great originals.

The musicians on this release were some of the best around. I could go on and on about each one, but the standout performances come from Richard Tee and Steve Gadd. Tee was a master of chord substitutions and could throw in some great chromatic lines. Steve Gadd plays like he has a third hand - it's tough to play that smooth and be that technically fluid.

Why four stars and not five? "So White and So Funky" just doesn't do it for me. It was common around this time to include one vocal track on an instrumental LP so that there would be the possibility of a crossover hit (some jazz artists still try this from time to time). Now I can program my CD player to skip the track and that's exactly what I do. Don't get me wrong, I'm a Dr. John fan, but his vocals and this song just don't fit on this CD.

If you're on this page, you are most likely already familiar with the original 1981 release or, at the very least, Tom Scott's sweet playing. If money is no object, buy this immediately. If you have the old LP and are wondering whether or not to invest in the CD - go ahead, you know you want to.

4 out of 5 stars Top notch live New York funk.......2002-12-14

The original vinyl had a big impact on me as a musician. This is one of the best live representations of the great NYC funk unit of Steve Gadd, Eric Gale, Richard Tee, Marcus Miller, and Ralph McDonald that can be had. They show beautiful patience in serving the groove and not overplaying -- so often a challenge with electric jazz and funk. Masterful! Five great tunes and a couple of worthwhile extras.

5 out of 5 stars Quintessential Tom Scott... Five Stars.......2001-12-05

I haven't heard this recording in years but remember it as one of the first Jazz saxophone recordings I fell in love with. This is an excellent bit of music and I highly recommend it. I like Tom Scott's other recordings, but this one is his best.

4 out of 5 stars The Best Tom Scott Album.......2000-07-07

This CD was one of my last "must-haves" to replace a well-worn vinyl copy. The re-mastering is great, particularly the song "In My Dreams", which, when played on good equipment, sounds as if you're actually there. It is the best sounding live track I've ever heard. The CD has four incredible cuts, while the other three are merely good (that's the reason for only four stars). If you are a Tom Scott fan, you owe it to yourself to get this.

    Product Description

    Plus+ excels at bizarre, copacetic mixtures like this. The foundation is solid, creative songwriting that brings the pieces through changes and breakdowns that feel natural and so good. Kind of that spend-two-hours-on-makeup-for-a-natural-look phenomenon. Next layer is chunky, complicated sample heaven and scratching courtesy of a stable of local beat junkies. Topping it off is a collection of fine musicians and vocalists to round out the musicality of the project. The thought, diversity, vibrance, and personality on this album elevates it way beyond yet another pleasant but flat collection of look-what-I-made-in-my-room-with-Reason grooves that somehow feel unfinished, to a real, old-fashioned record album with a beginning, middle and end. The album opens with the ultra molasses-slow uberdub dirge "Love", laced with warm keys and almost Morphine-style rich, low sax, plus turntablism and suprising samples overtop. Next up is the intense but unrushed "Got To Be", mixing indie sensitibility with ingenius Eastern-influenced string arrangements that recall late Beatles. "I Can't See" follows this line of logic with live drum and bass drumming and the sweetest slackjaw vocals conjurring a bit of Radiohead's Tom Yorke. In the middle we are treated to a big buildup that sounds like it's going to explode into a huge breakbeat cheesefest, but shouldn't, and then, suprise, doesn't!, then swings back into a sweet-bitter-sweet straining reprise. So satisfying. -- beleza-music.org
