NIGHT DANCING

Después de que su contrato con CTI terminó, Joe Farrell hizo dos flojas grabaciones y bastante comerciales para Warner Bros., de las que este LP es el segundo. Aunque Farrell pone su buen hacer sobre el tenor, el soprano y la flauta, las directrices estrictamente comerciales de Trevor Lawrence y el exceso de músicos hunden este esfuerzo. Cantantes embotados "de fondo" dominan la versión de Stevie Wonder " Otra Estrella "; la mayor parte de canciones al unísono son funk tocadas por la sección de ritmo, y los talentos de Herbie Hancock y Victor Feldman a los teclados son anulados. Sólo "tres minutos y medio" del solo de tenor en "Come Rain or Come Shine" por Farrell, todavía suena bien 20 años más tarde. - Scott Yanow (AMG)


After his association with CTI ended, Joe Farrell made two weak and rather commercial sets for Warner Bros., of which this LP is the second. Although Farrell gets in a few good spots on tenor, soprano and flute, the strictly for-the-money arrangements of Trevor Lawrence and the excess of musicians sinks this effort. The version of Stevie Wonder's "Another Star" is dominated by dull "background" vocalists; most songs have instantly dated funk played by the rhythm section, and the talents of keyboardists Herbie Hancock and Victor Feldman are wasted. Only a three-and-a-half-minute unaccompanied tenor solo on "Come Rain or Come Shine" by Farrell still sounds good 20 years later. - by Scott Yanow
