GO AND SEE COURNEY PINE LIVE!! I saw him on at an outdoor festival last summer, and I have never seen a sax player whip up a crowd of mixed-tastes into such excitement...his digeridoo style circular breathing (being able to play for about 3 minutes at full blast without taking a breath) is awe-inspiring!
This album, however, I dont think Is Courtney's best effeort. Unfortunately he seems to have slightly sold out to the British R'n'B scene (with Kele le Roc and Lynden David Hall guesting) whilst losing the cutting edge experimentalism that made everyone's easrs prick up in the first place. Perhaps its something to do with him leaving the mighty Talkin' Loud...

Having said that, you can't fault the record for listenability. Although it might not be as sonically interesting as Underground or Modern Day Jazz Stories (which are Jazz genres in their own rights), it must be acknowledged as an solid attempt to provide a Jazz perpective on contemporary London.

this album is courtney pine at his best. after underground it seemed difficult to envisage improvement, but this is definitely better. Unlike modern day jazz stories, it isnt overindulgent (solos anyone?) but manages to capture pines obvious talnet while keeping his solos to the point. it is much easier to listen to and except for a dodgy version of gil scot herons lady day there is no track that i would skip.

A couple of months ago, all I knew of Courtney Pine was that he was an excellent jazz saxophonist. I'd never really gotten into jazz, so I left it at that. Then I went to a gig with some friends in Birmingham. I was amazed. This man can get sounds out of a saxophone that would make anyone who knows anything about the playing of the instrument gasp in amazement.
This album is excellent. The jazz is soulful and the scratching background is an excellent accompaniment. Anyone who thinks jazz old-fashioned is wrong; buy this and see.
I could go on all day but I'll stop now and leave it there.
Buy this album. Buy this album. Buy this album.

Superb playing, but perhaps a bit tedious at times?
This album is another quality production from Courtney Pine. Of course it features some stunning improvisation and groovin beats, but already I am starting to find it just a bit... Read more

Excellent contemporary jazz
I first heard Courtney's new album following a gig that he played in Harrogate. He played a fair number of the new tunes then and also put the album on the speaker system at the... Read more
