4 out of 5 stars live and smokin.......2002-10-10

True no documentation and not a lot of George Benson, but the piano player and the rhythm section are top-notch. Obviously stars in the field who an astute jazz fan might identify. This is a great set. I think the sound quality is pretty good.

1 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for - a poor excuse of a bootleg!.......2001-07-22

No liner notes, just a song list. A bad recording and not enough George Benson! Look elsewhere if you want a real taste of Benson 'Live', like his 'Weekend in L A [LIVE]' album. No idea when or where or with whom this 'Live' album was recorded. This wouldn't be a problem in most cases due to George Bensons' usually high musical standards and excellent recording history but even George Benson can't shine through or withstand the glare of these acts of 'bootleg' omission. You hardly hear Benson play! The most painful part of this recording is when the tunes fade out JUST as Benson is getting into his solos!! None of the songs have an ending they all fade out. The recording is barely adequate with the drums digitally hissing and the piano at times overbearing. We hear more of the pianist, whoever he/she was (except on the track 'Oleo') than Benson. Obviously someone is cashing in on George Bensons' popularity here, to the publics' detriment. Be forwarned! If I could I would give this '0' (zero) stars! Forget about this CD!

5 out of 5 stars Special Concert.......2006-07-21

This is a musical performance that is very close to my heart. I had the great honor of being there for the live performance in Okinawa, Japan.

I was stationed in Okinawa as a US Marine Corps Band Saxophone player from year 2000-2003. I read in a poster and in the newspapers that Bennie Maupin was coming to perform in the Club Rhapsody Jazz Concert Series. I could not resist the opportunity to see and hear live, the great reedist who became known when he played on the Miles Davis "[...] Brew" album as well as Herbie Hancock's "Headhunters."

I went to the sight of the show with a good friend and we got to meet with and talk to Bennie Maupin and John B. Williams. We sat down and talked with them about music, an experience which had a great impact on my musical life. They are very distinguished gentlemen, and it was very insightful to be able to watch them and learn about music and life. I learned that John B. Williams, too, was a former Marine Musician.

The concert is superb, with great improvisations from all musicians. I especially enjoyed John B. Williams poetry, which he recited while playing the bass at the same time. There are no jazz standards here, all completely original compositions written by John B. Williams and Bennie Maupin, two musicians who have contributed great artistry to the world of Jazz.

            Album Description

            Recorded live in the studio, this CD captures the essence of the Curvature Quartet the brilliant saxophonist Calder Spanier (Charlie Hunter Quartet fame). Mind-blowing improvisational interplay, unusual rhythms, and instrumental virtuosity combine to a highly original and progressively funky acoustic jazz sound. The ensemble includes Jack West on acoustic guitar, Calder Spanier on soprano and alto saxophones, Joel Davel on marimba, and well-known Bay Area drummer Ricky Carter performing on his hybrid percussion/drum kit, with a appearance by Brian Hill on guitar. Carving out new territory in the world of acoustic sounds that you can actually to without hurling, Big Comet Headed Earth steers completely clear of the "smooth jazz" and "out jazz" population centers. This is real, creative music played by four people live in the studio.

            5 out of 5 stars Music I've waited my whole life to hear..........2001-01-12

            When I first heard "Big Comet Headed for Earth" by Jack West and Curvature, it seemed like it came from nothing I've ever heard before and was written directly for me. It is one of the freshest, sexiest, most exhuberant,and musically brillant CD's I've ever heard. The latest release, "Big Ideas", proves that West's compositions and concepts have only grown deeper, more soulful and sophisticated while the individual and ensemble playing has reached masterful heights.
