John Cipolla & Doc Livingston – Misbehavin’ (Jazz CD)
Sound: B- Music: B
With
classics like Moon Ray, It Don’t Mean A Thing (If It Ain’t Got That
Swing), Body & Soul and Lady Be Good, clarinetist John Cipolla
and fellow clarinetist and pianist David “Doc” Livingston offer the competent
12-track set Misbehavin’. The 2005 self-release by Cipolla. The live recording is like a laid-back jam
session that has its moments and will meet the expectations of Jazz
instrumental fans.
This
critic has just heard so many such albums that this one is only so distinct,
but it is worth a listen and has solid musicianship.
The PCM
2.0 16bit/44.1kHz Stereo is a little muffled throughout, for whatever
reason. The music is still enjoyable and
the sonic complaint is not about the limits of CD sound, but just something odd
about the recording circumstances.
