Thanks Drums4Fun. It's a very short review...thot I'd just post it;
Jing Chi
"Live!" (Tone Center)
** 1/2 (that's it)
Power fusion from two original Yellowjackets ? guitarist Robben Ford and bassist Jimmy Haslip ? with drummer Vinnie Colaiuta. Ford has always drifted freely across the territories of jazz, fusion and the blues. This time out, he adds some slipping and sliding rock sounds. With one interesting exception ? the provocative "What Goes Around," written by guest pianist Otmaro Ruiz ? the repetitious groove rhythms won't please fans of straight-ahead jazz. But Jing Chi succeeds well in its chosen task: to bring some of the swing of jazz to a collection of tunes designed to please a pop-oriented audience.
